So my Buddy Nerboo has been a bit infatuated with goats and punching them lately. On my way home from snowboarding the other day I saw these goats and knew I had to take a pic for him. So today I drove back and took some shots.

When I got home I saw the new list of songs posted by JustK for Musically Challenged.

I saw Out Of My Head by Theory Of A Deadman, and I knew it was perfect for this shot.

Ha Ha!

Happy Monday folks :-)

To you, I would give the world

To you, I'd never be cold

‘Cause I feel that when I'm with you

It's alright, I know it's right

Songbirds by Eva Cassidy

omg i love this song. and i love Ames. You know that one friend that when you first meet and hang out you get that "Where the hell have YOU BEEN?!?!" well Ames is that person for me. It's super hard for me to make friends with girls because they can be catty at times. and its a super relief and a true joy when you meet phenomenal people. Recently, I've had the best luck with meeting amazing people from flickr <3.

Ames is amazing person and photographer. Every time we hang out she always brightens up my day. I'm so happy and glad that I was able to meet her and become really great friends this semester.

Fun Facts about Ames & I:

- we share the exact same birthday, I'm older by a few hours (no lie!)

- she introduced me to the ever-addicting nutella!

- she loves almost the exact same music I love, and shes down to listen to new things

- she brightens my day

- We make beautiful photos together :)

Blind Melon~No Rain

All I can say is that my life is pretty plain

I like watching the puddles gather rain

And all I can do is just pour some tea for two

And speak my point of view but it's not sane

It's not sane

I just want someone to say to me

I'll always be there when you wake

You know I'd like to keep my cheeks dry today

So stay with me and I'll have it made

And I don't understand why I sleep all day

And I start to complain that there's no rain

And all I can do is read a book to stay awake

And it rips my life away but it's a great escape

Escape ...

All I can say is that my life is pretty plain

You don't like my point of view

You think that I'm insane

It's not sane ...

I just want someone to say to me

I'll always be there when you wake

You know I'd like to keep my cheeks dry today

So stay with me and I'll have it made

I am somehow musically inspired lately, especially in my photography, as you might have seen in my last post and this one, also. The reason is the situation in our band is finally making some progress in finding a lead vocalist. We had auditions on saturday night and it all went splendidly. Our second guitarist's girlfriend came to the practice/auditions, too, and as she had nothing else to do, she borrowed my Nikon and took photos of us and our candidates in action. She held a DSLR for the second time and with a 1.8 lens most of the pictures came out of focus, but some also came quite great and artistic, when I helped her a bit. It was great showing someone else how to take photos with my camera as she found some great new angles, great new ways. She somewhat inspired me even more for my future shoots. Of course I could not let her have the Nikon all by herself, so when everyone else was taking a break, I went to feed my other muse and took some photos myself. Must I say I love my new lens? :)

And yeah, my life is pretty awesome at the moment. I found out I passed a really tough exam (so proud!), so only one more to go and I am in the second year of physics. Also my paycheck turned out to be quite bigger than expected PLUS I found some great new clothes on sale :) And I must not forget a celebratory romantic dinner with my boyfriend. We made a pizza, lit the candles and opened a bottle of nonalcoholic champagne (as we do not drink alcohol). All I can say is: A perfect life with a perfect boyfriend.

I wish you all the best, as you are the best, too! :)

Operator, well could you help me place this call?

See, the number on the matchbook is old and faded.

She's living in L. A. with my best old ex-friend Ray,

A guy she said she knew well and sometimes hated.

That it just wasn't real, but that's not the way it feels.

For musically talented Barossa Valley local, Sam Brittain, story-telling is exactly that. Since releasing his debut LP ‘Our Shining Skin’ on June 1, 2012, the path to success for the gifted and independent musician has transformed into a never-ending road. First picking up a guitar at the age of three and additionally turning his hand to the piano and drums,

In 2013, Sam is an unstoppable, roots, folk and blues artist, reminiscent of sounds such as Damien Rice, Glen Hansard and Ryan Adams. Sam supported close friend and musical influence, Mike Rosenberg (Passenger) at Adelaide-based Fowlers Live, as an integral part of Mike’s ‘All the Little Lights’ album tour, a highlight of Sam’s career to date.

The recording of ‘Our Shining Skin’ saw Sam and his band work endlessly with the talented Barossa-based Jamie Blechynden of Stella Studios and VJ productions. Supported by BJ Barker (drums), Steve Flemming (bass) and Glen Wagland (engineer), tracking the backbone of all 12 songs took a mere two days to complete. ‘Our Shining Skin’ quickly earned impressive reviews and was labelled as a ‘formidable and wide spreading resume’ for Sam (Timber and Steel, August, 2012).

Kicking off an Australian tour, Sam officially released the highly anticipated album at a sold out show on June 9, 2012, held at the Chateau’s acoustically brilliant ‘Long Room’. In June and July 2012, Sam crossed the country, delighting crowds and building his fan base in Melbourne, Hobart, Darwin and Adelaide, including an unforgettable sold out show with Sam’s full band at the prominent Adelaide venue, the Promethean Theatre on September 27, 2012.

Marking the beginning of what’s set to be a milestone year and following a hugely successful first tour, Sam’s lead single ‘Bruises’ hit #1 on the Triple J Unearthed Roots Chart on New Year’s Eve, 2012/13, where it consolidated its lead for a consecutive four weeks, peaking at #6 in the Overall Top 100.

2013 saw Sam embark on a 16 date tour once again supporting new age folk music legend Mike Rosenberg (Passenger).

This week is my week to select the song list for the Musically Challenged group. For the next few days, I will be covering songs from my list.

This one is from The Rain Song. Listen

Lyrics:

This is the springtime of my loving

The second season I am to know

You are the sunlight in my growing

So little warmth Ive felt before.

It isnt hard to feel me glowing

I watched the fire that grew so low.

It is the summer of my smiles

Flee from me keepers of the gloom.

Speak to me only with your eyes

It is to you I give this tune.

Aint so hard to recognize

These things are clear to all through

Time to time. ooooh...

Talk talk

Ive felt the coldness of my winter

I never thought it would ever go

I cursed the gloom that set upon us...

But I know that I love you so

But I know that I love you so.

These are the seasons of emotion

And like the winds they rise and fall

This is the wonder of devotion

I see the torch we all must hold.

This is the mystery of the quotient-

Upon us all a little rain

Must fall.

Just a little rain?

Ooooh, yeah yeah yeah

For Musically Challenged and PicADay - Xmas Style - Bokeh Bokeh Bokeh

This song was on radio rotation around the time we started falling for each other. There's a few parts of the song that I felt hit it perfectly. I don't even know if I told him this at the moment.

I'm so glad to have him in my life and for all that we've been through together, he's been there, holding my hand and giving me strength and crazy amounts of love. I love this man. ♥

Hanging by a Moment

by Lifehouse

Desperate for changing

Starving for truth

I'm closer to where I started

Chasing after you

I'm falling even more in love with you

Letting go of all I've held onto

I'm standing here until you make me move

I'm hanging by a moment here with you

Hanging by a moment here with you

ift.tt/2iTQVrJ

Lately, I've been feeling incredibly numb. Unreachable. Existing without living. I thought the arrival of spring, with its beautiful weather and new life would chase away that depressed feeling I experience every winter. But I still feel like I'm stuck in a cold, empty, timeless world, while everything and everyone just passes by blurry and unreachable me. They're moving on, living.

And I've become a great actor, trying to hide this from the people around me. I just don't want to disappoint anyone. Unfortunately, that also means that I don't really have anyone to talk to about it.

I usually can talk myself out of the dark hole I wake up in most mornings. I tell myself that there are greater problems and worse situations I could be in. I'm doing okay, considering, I tell myself. But every now and then I feel like I have to check if I still have a heartbeat, because I just don't feel it. Feel me.

I've always thought

To travel the world alone

and live my life more simply

I have no idea what's happened to that dream

Cos there's really nothing left here to stop me

It's just a thought, only a thought

Fonte official FB page:

Although everybody seems to have a different account of who came first in the world of New York/New Jersey area thrash metal, it seems certain that New Jersey’s Overkill have stayed around the longest, and have never let their fans down by remaining musically consistent and true to their roots for over 30 years.

There are few names as well respected as Overkill, and with the resurgence of metal in the music world, this band is poised to return to the top. Overkill are ready to show mature metal heads they still have it and are geared up to teach the new schoolers exactly how it’s done.

The band gained their first major label deal with 1987’s Taking Over. They signed to Atlantic and remained with the label for 7 years, based on the strength and consistency of their music. Under The Influence (1988) and 1989’s The Years of Decay (1989) brought Overkill to new heights in their career. Sid Falck would replace founding drummer Rat Skates on drums to bring his own brutal percussive assault to Verni’s already powerful rhythm section. The band had already established a rabid fan base with songs like “Rotten ToThe Core” and “Hammerhead” (as well as their infamous cover of D.O.A.’s “Fuck You”), and new songs like “Evil Never Dies” and “Hello From The Gutter” would become Overkill mainstays as well. A video for “Hello From the Gutter” was garnering much fan response when it received play on MTV’s Headbangers Ball.

The band’s W.F.O. album (1994) would be Overkill’s final album with Atlantic, as they would release their first official full-length live assault, Wrecking Your Neck on CMC in 1995. Overkill released 3 more full length albums (Killing Kind, From The Underground and Below, and Necroshine) by 2000.

Bloodletting (2000) was released on Metal-Is, and the band added guitarist Dave Linsk to the fray. The current Overkill lineup would be completed with the release of the live album Wrecking Everything, recorded in Asbury Park, NJ, and the addition of second guitarist Derek Tailer in 2002.

Overkill released Killbox 13, one of their most well-received albums to date, on Spitfire Records in 2003. ReliXIV and Immortalis followed, continuing the Overkill legacy.

On October 30, 2009, Overkill inked a multi-album deal with Nuclear Blast Records. The band's debut album for the label, Ironbound — which was described as a true "thrashter-piece" — was released on February 9, 2010. The album received much acclaim, both critically and fan wise, and described by some as an instant classic.

This was followed up in 2012 with the release of The Electric Age, which continued the tone set on Ironbound, to much acclaim.

The band's latest album, White Devil Armory, was released on July 22nd, 2014
