The Revolution began this March, At Wingate University.

Podcasts

noreply@blogger.com (gribb9) — Wed, 19 Mar 2008 02:17:00 +0000

Just found out about some sick podcasts that play mixtapes straight for like 55minutes, and then they had a Tiesto one. That made me happy, of course.
And i can't find Tiesto's new DVD in Copenhagen anywhere in Bestbuy, etc. I'm trying to avoid ordering it off the net.

Hilarious. I love it

Chevelle

noreply@blogger.com (gribb9) — Mon, 03 Mar 2008 01:29:00 +0000

I'm going to see Chevelle, hopefully i'll make my first journey to the Newport.. Maybe. If the rapping bum doesnt beg me for change and try and take my ticket.

Chevelle is hard rock, its good. Just Listen to it.

Send the pain below, good song. Used to listen to it in the locker room before soccer games last year.

By the way, thank god the quarter is over. Hopefully i wont remember much of spring break either.

This is the rapping bum: He hangs out by Chipotle...if you didnt know.

Check this out. Kanye West- Stronger w/ Hands

Hilarious. Careful children there is a Parental Advisory for adult Lyrics! uh oh. But still this is creative.

Genre Mixing

noreply@blogger.com (gribb9) — Wed, 27 Feb 2008 17:00:00 +0000

Took some time off for my birthday. Alot of time. And I happened to hear one of my favorite songs of all time. And this happens to be Garth Brook's "Low Places". Love it, and I couldn't help but to sing it out loud with my friends when it came on. Then I went and won a game of Wii Bowling at the bar when it was over. It was a great night. But it got me thinking, I wonder if there is any new country artists coming out that might be worth my time... hm Probably not. I noticed Jason Aldean is coming to the New Port at OSU pretty soon. I might have to catch that concert..I have yet to go to the NP MH since i've transfered here. Couple bands have come that i've considered. About 5 million people were lined up for One Republic, i wonder if someone told these people that Timbaland was NOT part of the group. They were just on his cd. Timbaland has made a couple of non hip hop bands kind of famous on his new album. This is what i like the most, the blending of the genres. I think it goes well, it semi- started with Linkin Park and Jay-Z. I used to listen to that before every soccer game in college...it got me pumped i wont lie to ya. I've seen nelly mix with tim mcgraw hiphop/country. It was alright, sometimes it works sometimes it doesnt. I wonder if music has hit a wall an there is only so far you can take it. When we're like 50 and our kids are listening to stuff what will it be. Will they really play Gin and Juice on like oldies 100.7?? I think it's semi hilarious. They will probably need one station per genre for "oldies" in about 20 years. There will be so many collaboration's between genre artists that we wont even have a Genre anymore.

Glow In the Dark

noreply@blogger.com (gribb9) — Thu, 21 Feb 2008 01:08:00 +0000

I tried to see if Kanye West's Glow in the Dark tour was coming anywhere near Ohio or NC... Nope. Oh well, the picture is still cool. And i still laugh at the Short Circuitz spoof on him fighting George Bush over his comments about Katrina. Comical, it was on MTV a year ago or so. This poster for the tour, shades of Star Wars?? Maybe? I think its sick, I want one for my lonely wall next to my Wayne Rooney Manchester United Jersey and to the right of my McDonalds/Ohio State Banner.

noreply@blogger.com (gribb9) — Thu, 21 Feb 2008 01:00:00 +0000

Here is a ceramic piece I did a few years ago when V for Vendetta Came out.. The other picture is sideways, it's locked up because it was e-mailed to me that way. I can't rotate it and I haven't edited it in photoshop so... Here it is.

"A Filthy Mouthed, down to earth Diva"

noreply@blogger.com (gribb9) — Mon, 18 Feb 2008 16:46:00 +0000

So... The chick who won all these Grammys the other week. The one I didn't know about..WEll, she has proved to be very interesting.

After reading up on her she pretty much does what she wants when she wants to. I didn't know she had all this legal trouble and stuff. Its pretty funny, and I guess its interesting to see someone becoming so popular do some pretty stupid stuff.
FOR EXAMPLE:
She's gotten arrested for cannibus, I guess a couple times. Haha, no suprise
Her husband is in on it too, I guess he and his buddies tried payin off or "intimidating" a bartender in London "Perverting the Court of Justice" Hilarious. She's turned herself in to police as well. Rehab needs, blah blah. The list goes on and on. I couldn't begin or end it in time.
The best thing is that she is going to channel Bob Marley into her music now, by working with his son Damien. Is she sure its musically? Or does she just plan to maybe inhale too deep a couple times. This girl cracks me up, I'll probably keep the t.v. channel idle if she's ever on it and I see her. She seems way too entertaining.

oh, and by the way.

By the way i dont even know what MTV U is... It doesn't come with Time warner, I know that much. IT must just play in the dorms or on campus..kinda un-fair because it seems like it represents what MTV used to be. Music Television. Not just another outlet for realty TV.. I dont mind some if it. Rob and Big is freakin Hilarious. But sometimes those shows get repetitive and become laughing stocks. I guess if it makes money, so be it. I wonder if its like the NFL Network and BIg Ten Network, TIme warner refuses to carry some channels, its pretty messed up. Next year AT&T is providing services and its cheaper...I'm definitely hittin that up.

Matt White, on MTV U

noreply@blogger.com (gribb9) — Mon, 18 Feb 2008 00:24:00 +0000

So I'm working out in the gym, and they usually play that Mtv-U Channel in the J.O. South. I notice an artist that has the name of one of my best friends from home. Matt White, apparently he's got some kind of record deal and has a music video on MTV. Yeah probably one of the most common generic names on earth but oh well. I couldnt hear anything, I had my Ipod on....listenin to GOOD music. But i made a mental note to sit down and listen to a bit of this "Matt White" so I could criticize it myself. Okay, after listening to Matt White character..I will semi bite my tounge. It's not bad stuff, but he kind of sounds a bit like Gavin Degraw, and he got annoying as hell after a while. They killed his Chariot song, they beat that crap to death. Then picked up and beat it again.. Thankfully I haven't heard it in a while. But...I can listen to a few songs of Matt White.. it Aint THAT bad. I checked him out on Imeem, but i only found two songs.

Bigg Head todd @ Newport?

noreply@blogger.com (gribb9) — Wed, 13 Feb 2008 14:47:00 +0000

So, I was driving down High Street and I saw a sign for Big Head Todd and the Monsters, coming to Newport Music Hall here at the OSU campus. I decided to listen to a song. I haven't heard of them..and frankly the name of their band..I just wanted to say what?
So I listened to a song and looked up a picture to see if he really had a big head and if the band looked ghoulish or something...or....if it was just b.s. The music turned out to be pleasant, with piano and I just cant describe it. Like something out of an early 90's film or t.v. show. I could see the song being played on an episode of Saved by the Bell or something like that. I'm not a fan, but i'm sure they will clog up the sidewalk outside Newport and keep me from getting into Chipotle for dinner. Which ticks me off... At least maybe the band isn't the screaming, devilish, evil type of band and their fans...So when I say excuse me, they'll actually be pleasant this time.
and yeah...i guess he has a big head, but maybe its just the pic.

Kanye

noreply@blogger.com (gribb9) — Mon, 11 Feb 2008 22:16:00 +0000

I do like Kanye's idea of blending different genre's of music. I think he is one of the only people that can do it...successfully.

2008 Grammy's

noreply@blogger.com (gribb9) — Mon, 11 Feb 2008 21:48:00 +0000

I noticed the Grammy's were on. I didn't watch, but I did look to see that someone I didn't recognize won like 30 Grammy's, Whatever. I know Kanye should have won, and he did. Maroon 5 won one, alright not bad. But who the heck is Amy Winehouse, I'm sorry i guess i dont listen to the radio enough?!?! or I just maybe not watch enough t.v. But I do both of those so.. how do I not know who this is. Oh well, here's what she sounds like.... Her speech was hilarious on Youtube, she didn't know what to say, she looked stupid. She is all tat'd up, she's british! Not what I expected... here's her song Rehab.

David Ryan Harris, Again.

noreply@blogger.com (gribb9) — Mon, 04 Feb 2008 16:33:00 +0000

Here's a video of David Ryan Harris playing from an earlier post.

Tiesto

noreply@blogger.com (gribb9) — Mon, 04 Feb 2008 16:26:00 +0000

I really enjoyed his dvd, and I'm not even a techno fan all the time.

R&B mixed with Acoustic

noreply@blogger.com (gribb9) — Wed, 30 Jan 2008 00:33:00 +0000

This guy is awesome (DAVID RYAN HARRIS- He's from L.A.), flat out. I started listening and just said wow. His voice, almost Brian McKnight and mixed with him playing the soft strings of the guitar. Impressive. I think, by far, of all the previously mentioned unknown artists pages I have visited ......his voice is by far the best. Some songs have some other instruments in it, piano etc. but his music is great, yes... He's at the top until I can find someone or some band to dethrone him off my blog. I don't care if no one reads this anyways. Right now, David Ryan Harris is king. I'm going to be keeping and eye out for him, and if i can Illegally download this music I probably will. NO lie. Hopefully this guy is signed and on the rise= he's got talent to use here.

Check it out, i promise its good:

Upbeat Acoustic

noreply@blogger.com (gribb9) — Wed, 30 Jan 2008 00:21:00 +0000

Now the Matt White Band has some upbeat acoustics for sure. Relaxing and upbeat, if its possible. (These guys are from Austin Texas)Vocals are always something to get used to but this band sounds decent to me. The manner in which the lead singer carries his voice is something that I might certainly have to adapt to but the acoustics are something that I appreciate immediately. It could be a very simple strumming pattern with bar chords, but its catch stuff to me reminds me of something Jason Mraz might play, not quite as good of a voice, but the sounds are similar. I feel like I could listen to this band play live at a bar all night long, its that kind of music. I enjoyed the song makes me happy.

On a normal day I wake up at 5:00 a.m. roughly, and I head to PT. I'm in the Army Rotc so I have obligation with that. Some morning is get up at 6:00 and do training or whatever is on the schedule. I enjoy it because it keeps me active, motivated, and happy. My days feel better knowing that I'm working out early and often too.

Usually, especially during these months...Every morning is a long cold walk to and from PT and to and from class @ THE OHIO STATE UNIVERSITY. This is what it looks like 75% of the time; or its just ridiculously freezing cold. I'm not used to this weather yet, it isn't this cold in NC. From there I go to class, I'm an art major so i usually am drawing, sculpting, or doing something of the sort. Usually my professors force me to create things I usually wouldn't create...As shown below. Its a steam boat from a cubist painting. (If you care).

After the busy week of school work and ROTC ...comes my weekends. Where I usually do as little as possible. I will certainly study when I need to during the week, and I guess the weekend. I do watch alot of sports on the weekends...most likely football. If there isn't anything good on I'll try and go out with some of my good friends. And yes, there is always Xbox to keep me company if I get THAT bored.

Aside from the typical weeks and typical days I love taking up any opportunity that I can to do something new. For example, I've been over seas several times to Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Monaco, France, Croatia, and Bosnia. Most recently Bosnia and Croatia in June. I love traveling. I try and go at least somewhere, not necessarily out of the country, but somewhere every year.

I transfered to Ohio State from NC and still talk to and see my friends when I can.

I have a ton of hobbies. I played College Soccer at my last school Wingate University. Basketball, and other sports. I love snowboarding, and wakeboarding.... They've turned into two of my favorite things to do on weekends or breaks, when I am able.

A day in my life IS NOT that interesting, but maybe it is to someone, so I guess we'll see. but i like staying busy..definitely. I love my art 353 class.

New Album: My Fav Artist

noreply@blogger.com (gribb9) — Mon, 28 Jan 2008 16:33:00 +0000

I'm waiting on Jack Johnson's New Album: Sleep Through The Static
One of my favorite artists... from Hawaii, former surfer if you didn't know. The chillest music in the world that you can listen to again and again...as long as the radio doesn't get a hold of it. Which usually doesn't happen.

Techno, Tech-yes

noreply@blogger.com (gribb9) — Sun, 27 Jan 2008 18:05:00 +0000

I never was a big Techno fan, I knew about Sandstorm and some other radio favorites that were played at parties and stuff. Last fall i stumbled across a European sensation, who has been around since the early 2000's and I would venture to say that most Americans dont know who he is. Tiesto. Just check him out, please. It'll change your perspective on dance music. Especially how European's get down. I watched one of his live concerts on DVD and I was amazed at his stuff. It just pumped me up and i couldn't help knockin my head around. He's not necessarily "unknown" but i imagine that he is unknown to quite a few people. He has some remixes of some major artist's songs such as Justin Timberlake and then has remixed some movie songs like Pirates of the Caribbean. It sounds sweet, I promise. If it turned me on to it, I'm sure some others will love it as well. www.tiesto.com

Making people want to cry?

The Weepies, the weepies? One guy and a girl group, the guitar sounds good. The name of this band is weird haha, I just laugh hearing the name. They are from out in CALI... it says. I bet some people really like this stuff. Its so soft and so light, and so..... EMOTIONAL... These two people met randomly at shows, both were up and coming artists.. its actually a cool little story on their page. New York, I guess it was. Not exactly my cup of tea, but what really is my cup of tea these days. Her voice is alright, its not horrible. I still am laughing at the name as Im writin this. I'm just going to say if you like the really light acousitc, harp sounding, sad, love like, emotional, movie sound track, did i say emotional yet?, type of stuff.... then you'll love this group. The guy's voice is exactly like the girls voice, extremely light, and continuing to sing these deep deep lyrics. Yikes... I dont know, there isn't much to say.. just check it out.
