Best band...like ever...

The Deftones have been a band I respect and love for the last 10 years. I have been a loyal fan ever since I heard "My Own Summer" on their second album, Around The Fur. The lyrical genius of lead singer, Chino Moreno, will open your eyes to a wave of musical emotions and mood. Yes, he is THAT good. I have been to 7 or 8 shows and all of them have been an experience. Click here for one of their most recent shows I went to. I meet new people all the time and when we start discussing music and favorite artists, I always hear "I've never heard of them", and I always feel disappointed. The Deftones is like a religion to me and I want to spread the good word...or lyrics in this case. So give them an honest listen, start from the beginning, and see them live if you love them as much as I do.

Here is their discography:

Adrenaline - October 1995

Around the Fur - October 1997

White Pony - June 2000

Deftones - May 2003

B-Sides & Rarities - October 2005

Saturday Night Wrists - October 2006

Diamond Eyes - May 2010

The two best things, musically, to happen to the internet!

Pandora is a great website for exploring new artists just by listening to artists you are already familiar with. It's free...and well it can be anonymous if you make up a fake email. So get on Pandora.com and start discovering new artists!

Last.FM is a great website as well. As with Pandora, it does require registration but its totally free. It creates a super online radio station catered to the artists you love. Just hit "play library" and you can be listening to Johnny Cash, then Lil' Wayne, and then finish off with Slayer. Its an instant party maker, because you can add artists to play to your library as you listen. A few similar artists are suggested, but not to the extent that Pandora does. So hop on Last.FM and create your perfect radio station for that next party!

The manliest show on tv

I have only a few shows I have ever loved to death: LOST, Planet Earth, Band of Brothers, Batman The Animated Series, and now....

Sons of Anarchy, a show about a renegade biker gang loved by their small town of Charming, located in California. The top actors in this show include: Charlie Hunnam (Green Street Hooligans), Katey Sagal (Married With Children), Ron Pearlman (Hellboy), Mark Boone Jr. (Batman Begins), and Tommy Flanagan (Gladiator). These are just a few of the more well-known actors that appear in this show, but the whole cast is absolutely phenomenal and brings the whole mood of the show together perfectly. Watch one episode and you'll be hooked. I promise. It's is on FX on Tuesday's at 10pm.

Lets start off with a quote...

This may not mean anything to you, or maybe it will...I like the quote and its from one of my favorite movies.

"Sometimes you're flush and sometimes you're bust, and when you're up, it's never as good as it seems, and when you're down, you never think you're gonna be up again. But life goes on. Remember that. Money isn't real George. It doesn't matter. It only seems like it does."

I like this quote a lot, because it reminds me that life is too simple to get caught up in superficial things. Sometimes we need to stop (even if its just for 1 minute) and remember what we do have...not what we don't.
