Christmas Aftermath
Well, Christmas has come and gone. Not as much fanfare this year for me, but it didn’t suck too bad either. Dad promises that next year will be better but he says that every year.
Anyway, I ended up getting a new Timex Iron Man watch from my brother, a $25 gift card to Sears from my uncle Randy (wich I used to buy dad and my grandma christmas presents), a Cabela’s beer mug from Zach(tanx Zach!), and a copy of Dio’s Holy Diver album on Vinyl from Brandon aka Bloodpig. BTW, Brandon wins the award for the coolest christmas gift I have ever gotten so kudos to him! Now all I gotta get is a record player:) So yeah, that’s what I got.
I feel bad though, cause I’m a giver, and I don’t think I gave enough this year even though I got close to nothing. I got my grandma and my mom both keychain flashlights, I got my dad some christmas decorations for next year, and I got Zach a green ash tray (wich Zach loves to death I hear). But thats it cause I just can’t afford anything this year. Next year will be better though, I promise:)
Anyway, just thought I’d post something since Gatsby bitched about it. But I’m too tired to think of anything new to write about so this is all you get. I did pick up some new CD’s this weekend at CDGB’s with Brandon (thanks for spotting me, I’ll pay you back Friday). I got two Fight CD’s wich, for those that don’t know, was one of the Metal God Rob Halford’s other bands after he left Judas Priest. It’s not his best work but it’s pretty heavy. I’d recomend his solo band Halford over Fight cause they have a similar sound, but Halford is cleaner and just better. The musicians in Halford are just amazingly good.
Look for a new Judas Priest CD this spring as well as a Box Set and the 2004 30th anniversary Judas Priest reunion tour. I already have the recently released DVD Electric Eye and it rocks. 2004 is the year of Rob Halford and Judas Priest. I just hope he doesn’t quit making Halford albums cause it is some heavy shit and good at that.
I also picked up Deep Purple’s latest album ‘Bananas’. Great CD, the songs kind of just flow out. It has an array of styles from bluesy mellow songs to plain old heavy classic rock. Good buy. Make sure to listen to the song ‘House of Pain’ and ‘Picture of Innocence’ as well as ‘Bananas’. Great album, it’s sad that this band doesn’t get the recognition it deserves. They were one of the best bands I’ve seen live. You can’t beat that sound, with the keyboard and harmonica thrown in there as well as Ian Gillian’s screaming voice, and one of the greatest guitar players in the buisiness. Deep Purple is the shit!
Anyway, now I’m just babbling. Have a happy new year and I’ll be back soon with new posts. Got alot of ideas so stay tuned. I mean it this time.
