Let's Talk: 12-7-15 (Kanye West - The Good Life)

Hey guys, how ya doing?

I would have had this live at midnight, but I had something happen which I will explain further down the post.

This last week has been a pretty intense thing for me.  A couple weeks ago I officially picked up my second job as Producer for First Alliance Church.  Basically what I do is I make the Sunday services as nice sounding and looking as I can.  I'll tell the band what needs detail work, I'll tell the tech team what sounds off, and I do what I can do dodge actually talking to people who have complaints.

It's actually loads of fun and I even get paid, but with the thing I do at EYA in addition to picking up new responsibilities at work and this second job I'm just a little overwhelmed.

Case in point, I slept from 3pm Sunday until 3am today.  I feel fantastic.

Band:  Kanye West feat. T-Pain
Genre:  Hip Hop, Rap

I picked this because I suppose the reason I'm doing so much stuff right now is because I just want to have the freedom of funds to be able to do whatever I feel like.  Granted, working in fast food and part time at a church will not grant me the funds that I personally would like to have at my disposal, but it does give me enough to let me do fun things, and that's what counts.

Yes, I get that's not really the point of the song, but I decided to go from that angle.  Sue me.

Cage The Elephant - Ain't No Rest For The Wicked

Band:  Cage The Elephant
Genre:  Alternative

I didn't get home till 10:30 last night, so I didn't get to write the post I had planned for.  I will post it tomorrow though, so no fears.

Unfortunately I had to do the half-assed post thing I've been doing recently, which really annoys me.  I hate cutting corners like this, but I'm so tired I can barely walk straight.

Tomorrow.  I promise.

Metallica - King Nothing

Band:  Metallica
Genre:  Metal

Firstly, I love that picture.

Secondly, here's the post.

I only recently have managed to get out of my "I hate Metallica" stage I fell into a while ago.  Yeah, they may be overrated, but they are still pretty good and really, that's what matters.

I'll actually have that explanation post up eventually.  Probably on Sunday.

The Black Keys - Howlin' For You

Band:  The Black Keys
Genre:  Alternative Rock, Garage Rock, Indie Rock, something like that.  I don't know.

At band practice on Wednesday a friend of mine made mention of The Black Keys, which reminded me that I actually kinda enjoyed the songs of theirs that I've heard.

This is one you've probably already heard, but I'm still gonna make you listen to it now cause I feel like it.  Enjoy!

Alice In Chains - Them Bones

Band:  Alice In Chains
Genre:  Alternative, Hard Rock

I'm really tired, so I'm gonna go with one of my favorite songs as a backup.  It's a really good song from a really good band that you should appreciate, right?

I apologize for what some of the post this week are gonna be like, I'm dead tired and have very little free time.  Tomorrow (aka today) I'll have something more like an hour or more of free time, so I'll have a better post prepped for you all.

I'll also explain why I'm stupid tired and busy.

Also this is post 444.

King Diamond - No Presents For Christmas

Artist:  King Diamond
Genre:  Metal

I totally forgot that this song existed until I tried to make a decent Christmas playlist for work today.  Turns out Spotify can access the music that's on my computer and when I searched for Christmas this song came right up to the top.

It's a wonderful mis-match of the season, so I thought it might be a good way to start it out, eh?

Karmin - No Flex Zone

Artist:  Karmin and Watsky
Genre:  Rap

Watsky is somebody I got introduced to a while ago by a friend of mine, but I never really listened to him.  He's a really good rapper, I just never got around to looking into his stuff.

Karmin on the other hand, is another person I haven't listened to before.  Honestly, the only reason I didn't listen to them is because they're a YouTube cover artist.  I try to avoid them in general because I had a friend fangirl about one of them a while ago and, no matter how good they are, I just can't get into them now.

I might have to make an exception here though, cause this is a good remix of the original song.

Late edit by like 7 days, but that line "Coming out late like Dre with Detox"?  That's good.
