I wish I was as talented as Tomas Kalnocky is. If I ever become a musician (which I doubt) it will either be because of him or Tommy Emmanuel.
I just noticed they are both Toms...
Wow.
Oh well.
Anyway, Streetlight Manifesto has a new album coming out "soon" called 99 Songs Of Revolution. They said they have it done and it is nearing release, but they haven't released any more info than that.
Supposedly it is going to be a cover album. Which will rock.
Because that means their version of Hell will be on it and the original is one of my favorite songs ever. If only they would do a cover of The Ghost Of Stephen Foster...
God I want them to hurry up. I doubt it isn't going to happen until the Warped Tour ends though.
Bummer.
Though I plan to see them up in Chicago because why not?
I know what you are thinking: "tacos." But besides that, why make a post about 1 album that isn't out yet? How about another?
The Protomen.
One of the most unique bands ever.
They took the story of Mega Man, warped it into something dark and dismal, then made a rock opera about it.
And friends, it is AMAZING.
Their first album detailed the rise and fall of Protoman, then the inspired battle of Megaman.
Their second album, "Act II" is going to be FUCKING EPIC.
Because for their second album they are splicing some good ole 80's music into the formula (for some of the songs. Father Of Death is an exception).
And I'll be damned if it isn't an orgasm of music.
Unlike SM's album, a few songs from "Act II" have been revealed.
Father Of Death
Breaking Out
The Hounds (live)
Light Up The Night
Release date is September 8, 2009. The war begins then my friends.
That's 2 weeks from today.
Epic album is epic.
So yep there's the post in a nutshe...
Wayward Thought: Of Unreleased Albums and School
Oh yea, school.
My last semester (maybe ever, hopefully ever) starts today. Wish me luck.
My on campus classes don't start until tomorrow (3 classes, back to back to back, 9 to 4) but I started doing my online class today.
Woot...
