Wake Up!

If you haven't read my previous post than you probably weren't expecting any big news from Imagine Echoes, but some of you may be very pleased when you hear this extremely exciting and shocking news line. When I saw this headline in my African Studies class I nearly fell off my seat and was on the verge of running out of class before my professor could get in because I didn't think I could hold all my excitement in. I did indeed tough it out and made it through all of class if you would like to know. Alright alright, so I'm sure by this point you are biting your nails in anticipation of this Huge Headline. Well here it is: RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE IS BACK! Oh yes, one of the most important bands of the 90's which did so much for my generation and others. Rage opened the eyes of an ignorant youth and brought some of the most unknown but important issues to the forefront. I often regard them near the top of most influential and important bands in history, I normally get laughed at but I have my convictions, if you would like to see them you can click here: Why Stand on a Silent Platform?

At this point I'm detracting from the great news, so back to the topic. So what is happening is Rage is coming to back to play for what may be just one more show which is at the Coachella festival in California. This was rumored, I in no way believed it was going to happen, and I've never been happier being wrong. The LA Times confirmed the rumor to be true and now we have to play the waiting game. While I'm so incredibly happy about the news I can't help but being a bit upset. When I first read the news I immediately said to myself I am going to be there, because when I think of bands which I want to see most live it is Pink Floyd at the one spot and Rage at the 2 spot. With this news pouring out into the public, I can't help but think of the possibilities... A world tour perhaps... Or even a new album!

Now lets put this event into context. What better time for Rage Against the Machine to come back and use their incredibly loud voice. With these highly volatile times in politics and America they are the perfect band to pour more fuel on the fire whether you believe that is a good thing or not. All I have to say is in the end, they better not just go onto the front of the stage at Coachella naked like they did at Lollapalooza and not play a thing in protest of anything...


Tomorrow or within the next few days expect to see another post about something which I thought of today... Does Rage come when the Democrats do?

Some of the Greatest News!

Right now I'm in class and the professor is just about to come in. I will write about this great news later tonight!

Whistle While You Work

Right now I'm at work and filling in for reception which I'm usually excited about, at least when it's later in the day because it's really slow and I can go on the Internet and better yet, Listen to Music! Not much is able to brighten the glum of work, however music is that one thing that makes everything fly by so much quicker. Right now I'm listening to Sirius radio through the Internet and the station I'm tuned in to is Classic Vinyl which is currently playing "Stairway to Heaven," a fantastic station which is commercial free since it's satellite radio. I myself am not a satellite subscriber but my Dad is, so I take advantage by using his account through the Internet. Anyway, back to the topic. Most of the places I work in my life don't enable me to listen to music that I actually want, normally it is that annoying store music which is so dull. Now for my question, when you work do you listen to music? If so how do you listen to it (Radio, MP3 Players, Etc.?)

Should I Stay or Should I Go?

I believe I've already named a post with that title but that is besides the point. For the past week or so I have been debating with myself of whether or not to continue writing on this blog. I feel somewhat like it's a waste to post just once a week because the one thing I truly care about is people actually reading what I write and I'm afraid if I post so little people will forget and at that point writing won't really mean anything (I'm not sure if that is selfish or not.) There have been a mixture of variables which equate to my lack of posting, things like a shortage of time and energy, also I have been running short on topics to write about. When I do actually write I feel like it's more of a job rather than something I want to do and that isn't what a blog is for (Especially if I'm not getting paid to do it.) I am going to continue to think about whether or not I want to continue writing on this blog, if I choose not to, I will almost definitely continue writing in the summer when I have more time on my hands but at this point it is completely up in the air. Ironically this is my 200th post, and I am hoping that it's not my last...
