Johnny Cash - A Boy Named Sue

Artist:  Johnny Cash
Song:  A Boy Named Sue
Album:  Honestly can't even tell, too many releases, haha
Genre:  Country

In a haze of resume writing, garbage fun video editing, and studying for my test coming up on Saturday, I am having some issues getting to writing these posts any other time than right before bed.

That's ok though, because sometimes my word vomit is enjoyable to read, right?

Nah, I know it's not that great to put up with.  Either too much trash to sift through or almost nothing at all written.  It's a solid time I suppose.

No worries all, I graduate in 4 short months.  After that I'm gonna have a nice regular job again that doesn't get squeezed into the time between school and bed with that smattering of social life getting in the way.

To bide the time till I get a hold on my life here, enjoy a rather fun Johnny Cash song.  Also watch my video, it's hilarious and you get to hear my voice sounding overly preppy.

Follow my various social distribution spots, eh?

Brad Paisley - Online

Artist:  Brad Paisley
Song:  Online
Album:
Genre:  Country

Despite what it may seem like from what I have to say about Country for the most part, I did like it for a while.  Then my mom and sister picked it up and ruined it, as is typical in family type stuff.

This song is hella funny though, and it's really catchy.  I don't tend to listen to Brad too much, but when I do it's generally this song or Alcohol.

Hope ya like it, it's a pretty good time.

Dan+Shay - Obsessed

Artist:  Dan + Shay

Genre:  Country

Well well well, how you doing Mr Shay Mooney?  Please stay off of my Spotify.

Got a fun story about this dude actually.  Met him quite a while ago (maybe 6 years ago?) and I thought he was pretty cool.  He came in to lead worship at our youth group and we were all impressed because his band had just won the national Fine Arts competition within the Assemblies of God churches.  Hot stuff since our band sucked and we had just bombed out the second stage hardcore.

Well that's the first encounter I ever had with him.  We became friends on Facebook and I enjoy following him through his music journey.  Since I had kinda wanted to become a rockstar and leader of a cult when I graduated it was kinda cool for me, ya know?

Well some of my friends were less than thrilled with him though.  Like, they were really pissed.  I think it was mostly because he was tight with Rihanna or something for a while.  They didn't think he should associate with people who were as blatantly non christian since he was associated with a lot of church stuff.

Speaking of church stuff, he has a song of him helping lead worship with Allison Park.  It's a solid song, we played it in church for a while after the album was released.  Still though, literally a month before this song was put out there was another song that was put out.  With T-Pain actually.

That made my friends even angrier actually which was kinda funny since I actually was a bit of a fan of T-Pain at the time.

Then he got in his country band and got on Ellen and the rest is history.

I can't stand his music cause it's the crappy pop Country that is even worse than regular Country.  Good for him for making his music career work though, that's really difficult.

A to Z Challenge: J is for Johnny Cash

Artist:  Johnny Cash
Genre:  Country, Outlaw Country

I think that there's a strong possibility that Johnny Cash may be the one Country artist that everybody can agree that they like at least a little bit.  I never really knew much about his life till a co worker made an offhand comment about Mr Cash's severe drug problems back in the day though.  I then looked into that and found, not only this amazing song, but a lot of the dude's history.

Run ins with the law, lots of drug problems, and more run ins with the law led to an eventual change, but not before he set fire to a large chunk of forest in California killing 49 of the 53 endangered condors that lived there.  His response?  "I don't care about your damn yellow buzzards."

A real stand up guy, amirite?

He changed his ways though and cleaned up from drugs, but that doesn't mean we can't still enjoy a song called Cocaine Blues, right?

Apologies for no music video here, we'll have to live without for today.

Johnny Cash - Ring Of Fire

Artist:  Johnny Cash
Genre:  Country

I'm giving you this song for 2 reasons.  1 is because it's 10:30 and I need to be up too soon to actually think of a better post right now.  2 is because there's a mildly funny story attached to this song.

One night at band practice for Sunday morning we were messing around with the sound settings on the keyboard.  There's a mountain of really good sounds it can make and just a couple that aren't as great.  One of the good ones is this crappy trumpet sound.  Not like a band sound effect, but it sounds just like a cheap trumpet.  It's uncanny.

Anyway we realized that it sounded just like the trumpets in the beginning of Ring Of Fire.  You know what that means?  We decided to play it as our post-service music!

Unfortunately the leader wimped out at the last moment and didn't do it.  Also she had thought we were joking the whole time, even though we all took the 10 minutes needed to learn the song.  Ah well, lost chances.

Brad Paisley - Alcohol

There are very very very few country artists that I actually like and Mr. Paisley is one of them.

This song came to mind because I've really had a crappy last month or so, so I decided that since my day off is tomorrow I'd do something fun.

The thing that is fun is Cooking With Alcohol pt 2.

Part 1 was when I made a Rum Ham and I set a small pot of rum on fire.  Today I'm just using wine, so there's much less chance of freak fire.  I'll let you know how it pans out tomorrow.

(Note, this was written Thursday evening, so "tomorrow" is actually today and so forth.)
