The Response Blog: WW, Mr. C, & Contests

Taking it back to the UFC layout:

Preliminary Fight:First off, I hope you guys appreciate my commitment to the first word in "wordless wednesdays." However, the responses from yesterday's post require some feedback. Just to clear things up:

1) It was a friend's house, not mine. But we still had fun nonetheless.

2) I know some of the poses looked flamboyant, but I was trying to replicate some of my favorite wrestlers poses like this:

and this:

haha, i don't think that made it any better, but the above is a guy from back in the day called "Macho Man" Randy Savage, and that twirl thing I was doing with the cape was trying to be like he used to do. We kind of had the same one, huh?

Undercard: So the other day I posted an Under My Covers blog and Mr. Condescending asked if I knew any artists from today that would go with some of the bands he listened to. I'm choosing to respond in a blog because I only have a couple so if anybody reading this wants to help (jeanette, i'm looking at you my musical buddy) feel free. But here is the few I came up with right now.

*Note* these bands don't sound exactly like the ones he mentioned, but my theory is that if you enjoy those bands, you should enjoy the following:

Kings of Leon
Example: Notion & Crawl

Manchester Orchestra
Example: I've Got Friends & Wolves at Night

Silversun Pickups
Example: Well Thought Out Twinkles & Lazy Eye

Cage the Elephant
Example: Ain't No Rest for the Wicked & James Brown

That's all I can think of right now, but maybe some more inspiration will hit me (or fellow bloggers will be able to chip in). But yea, Mr. C, I hope you like these but don't be afraid to tell me if you don't.

Main Event: So I came back from a surprise one day trip to Crestview yesterday and found I had a package. These were the contents of said package:
It's basically what winners get in the mail. Well, winners of cool blog contests. Please click on the image so you can see the awesome artwork on cd's.

jeanette: Disc 1 is playing as I type this, ya know, cuz it's music to blog to. Thank you!

So that's it, but I wanted to let you know to drop whatever plans you have, because this weekend you are ALL going to be guests at my house ;)

Random lyric of the day:

I am slipping through, I am slipping through
I am slipping into the airwaves
(The static's where you'll find me)
And this is nothing new, you are slipping through
My fingers and into the airwaves
Into the airwaves

  2. Haha Phew... my computer was acting crazy and I was slightly concerned the cd's wouldn't work. Was all the candy acceptable? I went with some of my favorites! Also that artwork is iffy at best, some were ideas I saw online, some were originals. Glad you liked it, you earned it!
