Pink Floyd - Comfortably Numb


Band:  Pink Floyd
Genre:  Classic Rock

I really like this picture, that's why I used it.  I know it has absolutely nothing to do with the song, of the album that the song came from, but I couldn't find any picture of the band that I liked so this is what I went with.

I'm on my way home today, so when planning ahead I thought maybe a song about being strung out on heroin would fit how I was feeling.  I'll get back to you on that.



EVENING UPDATE:

So yesterday I actually got called and told to go in 3 hours late, so I went out and bought a right to commemorate my trip.  I like it.

Just got home an hour ago though, which is why I am sharing this so late.  Catch ya tomorrow!

Snoop Dogg - Gin And Juice


Artist:  Snoop Dogg
Genre:  Rap
Language:  Some

Day 6.............

I know I just posted a cover of this song a little bit ago, but I thought I should post the original since some of you might not have heard it before.

I really like Snoop's stuff, I'm just not as familiar with his material as I would like to be.  I'll be familiar eventually though, so I suppose that's a goal to shoot for, eh?



1:30 AM UPDATE:

Hey hey, day 5's close was just as great as day 4's!  I'm loving this job so much, I honestly wish I could do it more often.  Maybe I'll make that into a goal, do these more than just this once, eh?

The Offspring - Why Don't You Get A Job


Band:  The Offspring
Genre:  Punk Rock
Language:  Some

Some fun pick me up music for day 5 of this.  It's a pretty intense time, not gonna lie.  I love it though, this experience is something that I'm gonna remember for a really long time.  I feel like I'm finally getting somewhere in my job, ya know?

I love this song though, it's a fun dumb tune that has a message to people in one sided relationships, ya know?



2 AM UPDATE:

Dude.  Just worked a 15 hour shift and it was the freaking bomb.

I taught some people how to do things, I made a crap ton of food, and I learned how to close again which is something that I haven't done in something like a year plus.

I honestly am really happy with how this has gone, so I hope you'll bear with me for the next couple days of this.  I'm off to get a few hours of sleep before I need to wake up for work tomorrow, but you guys hang tight, ok?

Attila - Shots For The Boys


Band:  Attila
Genre:  Deathcore, Partycore
Language:  Strong

You know what the world needs?  Hollywood Undead, but in a Deathcore format.

I honestly can say this may be one of the most offensive bands I've found to date.  They are really crude, their music is generally not too great, and I am finding myself weirdly attracted to them.

This is day 4 of the opening.


AFTERNOON MORNING UPDATE:

So crappy song aside, this is the day that things start!  The update from today will go up on tomorrows post and vise versa since I'm not getting out of work till like, 1 am.  With this in mind I thought it might be easier if I just updated now rather than try to operate this site when I'm on my phone, ya know?

I'm gonna be honest, the only thing I regret about this is that I had an energy drink again.  I haven't had any since September 9th, but for this I kinda needed them.  I will go back to not having any when I come back home though, so that's good.

Have a good day everybody!

Foo Fighters - Everlong


Band:  Foo Fighters
Genre:  Rock

When I started listening to these guys last week I asked my brother why, since I had never set out to hear them, did I feel like I knew all of their songs?  His answer was because they are very generic radio rock and that I have heard them that way.

He understated that.  They don't just sound like generic radio rock, they are radio rock.  I have heard so many of their songs that I never knew were them it's crazy.  I'm impressed honestly.

Side note, this is day 3 of my Grand Opening, we're officially opening the store to the public tomorrow, it's been all training up till this point.



AFTERNOON EDIT:

Yeah, so I'm about to head in for this evening.  I have hardly interacted with the employees as of right now actually, I've been all with the chicken thawing.  We had a guy who transferred in from a different and already knows the system so I didn't really teach yet.  Today I'm supposed to be in charge of "cooked food handling" so we'll see how it plays out.  Tomorrow is the big day though, 10am till 12 am approximately.  #Excitement

Thirty Seconds to Mars - The Kill


Band:  Thirty Seconds To Mars
Genre:  Alternative Rock

Hey, this is day 2 of my times down in South Carolina, so we'll see how this goes, eh?  I wrote all of these ahead of time so that I wouldn't fall behind in posting because of sheer exhaustion, but I'm gonna try to update some stuff from time to time anyway.

I never knew who did this song until some time last week, so I decided to post it so I will remember that they exist in the future.  It's a method that works sometimes, so here's hoping it happens again, eh?



AFTERNOON UPDATE:

Here's day 2.  I'm updating now cause it just makes more sense, ya know?  I'm gonna be the cow tonight at the dedication dinner and I'm honestly super stoked about that.  Then tomorrow I'm gonna be working a longer shift of actually doing stuff.  Thursday is the killer though.  Thursday through Saturday I'm working 40 hours.  Just on those days.  Actually since I'm closing it might be more, but still.  It's gonna be rough, but I'm really really excited to be a part of this.

Joe Satriani - The Phone Call


Artist:  Joe Satriani
Genre:  Blues Rock

Day 1 of having traveled to another state to train people how to do their jobs.  Hey hey!  I'll give out an update in the evening/afternoon again like with yesterday's post.

I used to listen to this guy a lot and I can't quite remember why I stopped.  He's a really solid guitarist that plays notes like a machine.  Not as crazy as John Petrucci, but straight up crazy nonetheless.

I really love this song though, when I first heard it the fact that he was using an effect on his voice it blew my mind.  I'm not sure why it blew my mind so much, but it was probably because I was 14 at the time.



AFTERNOON UPDATE:

Well here's day 1 finished.  Worked an extra hour, climbed a ladder to the roof, and continue to be terrified.  You know what though?  This is a lot of fun.  My roommate is pretty cool, so far my coworkers seem cool, and the owner doesn't seem too bad either.

Mortal Treason - Sunrise Over A Sea Of Blood


Band:  Mortal Treason
Genre:  Deathcore

I apologize that I'm on a trend right now, I've got some really sweet things happening that have taken up a lot of my time.  These things are as follows.

So the reason for the trend is that I literally planned about the next 2 weeks of posts on 1 or 2 days rather than spread out because, today, I'm going to South Carolina for a work thing.

I am going down to Killian's Crossing to open a Chick-fil-a.  I get to train people on a crap on of stuff because I'm just special that way.  Also because my manager is a pretty sweet person.

I'm mildly terrified of this, but I'm sure it'll go ok, right?

Song wise this is a band that I was introduced to back when I first started listening to Metal.  I hated them then, but I kinda dig it now that I've expanded my musical horizons.



EVENING UPDATE

Hey guys, I just thought this would be the easiest way to get people's attention.  I'm gonna be adding a thing at the end of the night this week, or early in the morning since I'm gonna be working from 11am till possible 1 am this week.  I just wanted to say I landed fine and for the first couple days I'm gonna have a load of free time to update this stuff.  That's a bit of a relief honestly, but we'll see what ends up happening Thursday through Saturday when I have my long shifts.

Impending Doom - There Will Be Violence

#TheWeekNoahIsOutOfTown

Impending Doom is a game that you have heard before if you followed this blog back in October, but I figured that it's time for a reprise because it's been like a freaking long time.

I've said most of what I had to say about them before, but since then I actually got some super freaking cool news!  On of my favorite games, Killing Floor, is releasing a sequel, and it has a pile of songs from bands I love.  There's a couple from Demon Hunter and like 3 from Impending Doom.  It's gonna be awesome.

Super Mash Bros - @LaurenConrad Get Us On The Hills!

So I just learned about these guys yesterday, but since there are mashup people that work on the level of Isosine's summer mashups I really like them.

One of my favorite parts about this song is where they add Disturbed at the end.  The way they edit the drum sound so it gets that tuneless sound that dance drums have is really freaking cool.

Rob Cantor - Shia LaBeouf

#TheWeekNoahIsOutOfTown

So while I'm gone I'm defaulting to my favorite weird/internet songs that I have, such as this.  I really have nothing to say about this because nothing needs be said.  Just sit back and enjoy it, eh?

Evanescence - Going Under

#TheWeekNoahIsOutOfTown

While I really don't like female vocalists too much this is one group I make an exception for.

I like a lot about it though.  There's weirdly placed piano, rap, and hard rock riffs coupled with pretty sounding singing.  It's really nice to hear.

I won't be saying too much about bands this week cause of stealing other people's computers to post this, so many apologies.
