This fall has a few records coming out that I'm both excited about and also interested to hear. I know that the music field is hands down Bandonox's specialty.... well really Pop Culture in general is Bandonox's specialty. I was just brought in to post random shit that amused me, he's the serious (and absent) author.
But as I was saying there are a few musical acts releasing albums this fall that I am pretty excited to hear.
Corey Taylor has said that the new Stone Sour Cd, is his best piece of work to date, Slipknot included. When I heard about this my loins were immediately moist with excitement. Slipknot is a metal Juggernaut and Stone Sour is a Rock-Radio Phenomenon. As far as I'm concerned both of those bands should thank their lucky stars every night that they met Corey Taylor. That man wakes up and pisses musical talent.
After Listening to the first half of the new Stone Sour Record (entitled Audio Secrecy), I was nothing short of distraught. Tracks 1-8 were clearly the "radio friendly" bunch. They were light, fluffy, and sad, it was upsetting. (You will have to wait to see if Bandonox feels the need to review it for details). But I felt that the last 6 tracks were far more palatable for me. Heavier, angrier and more in touch with the roots of Stone Sour. It's definatly worth a listen.
Shifting gears pretty severely, the other record I'm interested in hear is the new Jamey Johnson album (The Guitar Song). I have only been listening to Jamey for two years now since I read a review in Rolling Stone of his album "That Lonesome Song." They compared his gritty, self-loathing lyrics to Johnny Cash. This alone immediately caught my interest (this was before I realized that the Rolling Stone reviews were 95% bullshit). So I found it and gave it a listen. Lets just say I was not disappoint. It was real, it was raw and I felt it. He was singing about what every drinking and drugging man's man has ever felt. Everything from getting arrested in a motel room with a hooker and cocaine to waking up in his pickup truck with "whiskey eyes and ashtray breath". It probably doesn't say too much for me, but I've felt those things, those lyrics actually brought memories back for me.
So I am excited to see if Mr. Jamey Johnson has continued down the road of degradation or if he has fallen into the fold of cookie cutter, bullshit pop-rock country acts. I'm hoping for the first of the two, but I will have to wait and find out, maybe I'll keep you posted on that.
And lastly on a more personal note I would like to point out some local (New Hampshire) talent that I know personally. Mr. Aaron Lee Marshall and Mr. Dave Emeney.
Aaron Lee Marshall has just released his second album. It's a live record entitled Take It and Like It (look for it and his first record, Now Maybe, on ITunes). It was recorded at the Rochester Opera House in Rochester New Hampshire. Yours Truly and Bandonox were both in attendance and were blown away. Aaron has been said to be the #1 selling artist from the state of Maine in Down East Magazine. At Bull Moose Music Stores he is the #1 selling recording Artist. This man is 100% talent and you should really go out and look up his stuff it's worth it and 100% Project MayHam endorsed.
Another local artist worth mentioning is Dave Emeney. Dave is a personal friend of mine and also of Aaron Lee Marshall. He is currently recording his first studio album "The Great American Failure" at Superior Sound Studios in Somersworth New Hampshire. He has actually, today, finished all of his parts and is just awaiting drums and the album will be complete and should be available on ITunes in October so keep an eye out. His music is emotion evoking and powerful stuff. to say that it's worth listening to would be doing his music no justice. I have watched this album grow from it's infancy. I was watched this man play "a few songs he wrote" while he was shitfaced drunk in his crummy apartment at 2 am. and now he is finishing his ALBUM that will be released nationally on ITUNES. Please, if you do one thing, buy this album, it's a must and I 100% endorse it....
I hope this has been fun to read because it was a bitch to type.... I'm headed to have a few drinks with Mr. Dave Emeney as we speak....Take it easy....bitches....
