Chevelle - Get Some
This week was another tough call for SOTW. The Used album* came out today and being such a huge Used fan, especially of their self-titled album, I wanted to pick one of their songs. SOTW has to be the song that I’m going to listen to the most this week and I think this song will be the clear cut winner. I have had The Used album and the Chevelle album for the last week and I listened to Sound Effects and Overdramatics more last week than this week. This week it has been all “Get Some” by Chevelle and their entire new album, “This Type Of Thinking Could Do Us In”. The most interesting thing about this selection is that I hated Chevelle’s last album, “Wonder What’s Next”, but this album is killer. I’d recommend it to all rock fans. I can not get over how much this album sounds like early Tool albums without the cursing.
*More to come on The Used album*
Lucas’ Star Wars
Lately there has been much fan-fare, bordering on verbal rioting, about the changes that George Lucas has decided to make to his original classic Star Wars theatrical release, for the new Star Wars trilogy DVD box set. I’m here to side with George’s decisions, and say why none of us should even open our mouths about it.
Buzzworthy, Screw That
Colin had recommended that instead of having a Song of the Week that I change it to be “Buzzworthy” song, artist or album to give people recommendations on music they may have not have had an opportunity to hear. I personally enjoy writing SOTW so I feel that I should keep that and stick to a regular schedule. So from now on I will post a SOTW on Tuesdays. If you don’t see one yell at me.
I also like the idea of having a “Buzzworthy” or “Recommendation Worthy” album or artist that is not needed on a weekly basis. Just whenever I hear something good I will let y’all know. However, I don’t like using Buzzworthy because it is a blatant MTV ripoff and MTV never really gives good reasons why an Artist or Album is worthy of the buzz. So I’m looking for you to help me out and come up with a name for a new feature on TUG.n that will help keep the masses informed on music they may have never heard that deserve at least a fair listen. All your help would be appreciated.
Gavin DeGraw - Just Friends
I was really struggling this week trying to decide my SOTW. I have been listening to a lot of old favorites and some new artists that deserve the recognition. I have decided to go with the album that I have probably been listening to the most and not the particular song. Since this is SOTW and not Album of the Week I had to choose one from that album.
The unrated gimic
A thorn which has been in my side for some time now is “the unrated gimic”, which has taken movie rentals by storm over the last few years. Many R-rated releases are released on DVD and VHS as unrated. I’m unsure of the movie which did this “first”, but it’s starting to become a trend.
EverhartSales.com
I usually don’t talk about my business projects on here, but rather my good or bad experiences while developing them. However, I’ve worked with EverhartSales.com for quite sometime, and in August 2004 I finally had the chance to release a new website for them.
