At 29, you'd think I'd know better, living life like a kid.

Yep, it's that time, the year has arrived, that all Gin Blossoms fans take note of.

I was lucky to get a listen of 29 in, just before my birthday technically ended - not that I don't have a whole year ahead of me to play it! [wink]

I've spent tonight, after the birthday festivities, playing the guitar, mostly Johnny Hickman - mostly The Great Decline. Katie sent me his album for my birthday. I can feel my arm getting better every week, tonight I was able to play standing up (my favorite way), and also play open chords, which I couldn't really do comfortably last week.

David Lee Roth Has Lost His Mind

Recently Katie mentioned to me the new David Lee Roth album of country renditios of country songs. I still have Launchcast on, hoping for another track off of Major Lodge Victory. Jump from David's album has just come on...

Talk about the most fucking ridiculouus think I've ever heard! The sum total of instruments are violins, banjos and David's vocals - seriously, the most ridiculous thing I've every heard! [smile]

Just when you thought the Van Halen story couldn't get any worse... [smile]

In other news, it looks like Come On Hard was a fluke - I've gotten no other tracks from Major Lodge Victory thus far, after skipping tracks for about half an hour.

Come On Hard on Launchcast

Okay, so the new Blossoms record is on Yahoo Launchcast.

Tonight, trying it out, I got Come On Hard after skipping about 8 songs. When it started, for a second, I actually thought it was Learnin' The Hard Way, which would have been a kick in the teeth! [smile] It sounded much like the demo version musically, obviously with more polish and production. There are some strange reverb effects in Robin's vocals during the chorus', which - I can't say is a good decision. Otherwise, I really liked how the song sounds!

Now, what is the chance I'll get something off Major Lodge Victory again? Probably not too great. Yet I'll probably continue to hit 'skip'. [smile]
