Hurricane Ike Is Not My Homeboy

After spending all day Sunday and most of Monday without power, I would like to say that whatever was left of Hurricane Ike, really put a hurtin' on Central Ohio. I was minding my own business on Sunday, just watching Jillian Barberie or Jillian Reynolds do the weather on FOX NFL Pre-game and then I thought I saw a cow fly across the parking lot. By the way, who the heck did Jillian marry this time? I remember her ex, Bret Barberie, I actually had his rookie card when he played for the Montreal Expos. I was actually surprised to find out that he actually bagged such a dime.

Central Ohio was hit with winds of a category one hurricane and tore it a new one. I know the people of Houston and Galveston were hit much, much harder, but no national news outlet is giving us any dap. In fact, most of the region's electric personnel was in Texas helping out. This delayed us from getting back to normal. I must have went through 20 red lights that were treated as 4-way stops on my way to work today. It was a hassle and caused a major cramp in the little style I have. I actually listened to the entire album of "The Secret Handshake," and I forgot how much I like that guy.

I should be posting more, but since I didn't watch a single NFL game on Sunday, I can't really do a "What I Learned" for Week 2, unless my post is only about the Eagles/Cowboys game.

Song of The Day - A Rocket To The Moon (I Think About You Everyday)

I found out about 'A Rocket To The Moon' as I was surfing around on Purevolume.com. I had a pretty lazy saturday and found some nice stuff that I'm sure that I will share with you over the next few days. If you are a fan of 'The Secret Handshake,' I think you will enjoy 'A Rocket To The Moon."

Fueled By Raman/Decaydance Records have done a great job at finding talented acts over the past few years. The Academy Is, Fall Out Boy, Panic! At The Disco, and Gym Class Heroes are a few of the acts who have made it big on FBR. A Rocket To The Moon released a Summer EP and it is very enjoyable. Their sound is similar to The Secret Handshake, so they are not creatively different than some newer bands in the genre, but the song-writing is a notch about the rest.

Check out the audio of A Rocket To The Moon's "I Think About You Everday."

Song Of The Day - Metro Station (Control)

I heard Metro Station's "Control" in a random tv commercial about a month ago. I didn't know who the song was by, but the commercial caught my attention every time it was played. I guess it wasn't a great commercial, I can't remember what it was advertising, but I do remember the song.

Metro Station is a dance-punk band that reminds me of The Secret Handshake and The Faint. They are all young guys that should have a long career in the music business ahead of them. Their self-titled debut album is doing well and I am seeing their name all over last.fm user profiles.

I couldn't find an official version of "Control" that they would let me embed, so here is a user's video with lyrics.
