I'm sure there will be plenty of stories to tell and fun times to be had.  Meanwhile, I'm just hanging out in the basement.  I'm debating on doing an entire album in a blues/rock feel - maybe it will come out next Neveruary. 
I've been watching Daria on Hulu.  I forgot how hilarious that show was!!  Everyone knew someone like Trent in High School.  Sootable Roots (my high school band) recorded our first album with a guy that is an EXACT copy of Trent (Jane's older brother from the show).  His name was Fletcher - I used to be friends with him on Facebook... I wonder what he is up to now?  Last I knew he was making tunes with my buddy Danny.  Danny has a band now - he lives in LA - His band is called The LA Font - his music is superdopefreshawesome.  Their album is available HERE.

And on THAT note...  LOOK AT PHAUST!!!!

That's right. There is nothing gross or misleading about that title.  Y'all are crazy!  Anyways...

Last year some good albums came out - A lot didn't. (AHEM Andre 3000 please stand up.....)  REGARDLESS - Two of my favorite albums of last year were:

Brothers - The Black Keys
It has been a long journey for the Black Keys.  I myself somehow missed them for most of it.  Luckily Phaust from Sinthesis made me pay attention.  I became hooked - every part of them.  I'd always been a fan of Jack White and The White Stripes.  But these guys were doing a 'bluesier' version of the two man (or in the Stripes case a Man and Lady) blues group.  Different styles would occasionally show up in some jams - but they always had that backbone blues down firm.  Then Brothers came along.  This is a whole-nother-best.  There is a TON of funk and soul dripping from this disk.  I played it all year - much to my Wonderful Loving Girlfriends dismay.  Luckily she caught the bug a few months later and now we be ROAD TRIPPIN to catch them in WI.

Sir Lucious Left Foot: The Son of Chico Dusty - Big Boi
Give it UP for bad ass album names.  Big Boi is a BEAST.  This disk got me back into hip-hop.  I was worried because the last Outkast disk was a little off and then Speakerboxx/Love Below was just really one good disk and one bad disk. (I'll let you decide - Wink Wink)  But this album is bangin.  I love the ever changing beats.  Different styles: sample bassed - new age funk - soul - hip-hop its ALL here.  This disk will easily hold me over till the next Outkast album - or Andre.......   COME ON!!!

With that said - I was wandering around a bit on Bandcamp.  Setting up the Sinthesis page - SHAMELESS PLUG!!!  Killing Time by Sinthesis drops 4/1/11!!  MARK YOUR CALENDERS!!  Regardless I found this:

This is the first entry in this Blog!!!  OMFGTFACYBI!?!?!? 

First off - Happy Birthday to PHAUST. Dirty ol' man.

Next - I'm very excited to start doing this.  Anyone who knows me knows I have lots to say and share.  This is where it will be going down - Check back!  I plan to Blog as much as I can, drop free music, talk about new projects and BNC related shenanigans.

As a gift for coming and enjoying this VERY special occasion I give you:
A Sampler of Music for the 2011 year!!!

1. Make My Day - Sinthesis
Phaust and I have made a lot of music together - but its been awhile since Sinthesis was on the scene.  We are changing that in 2011 - Dropping a free EP April 1st then following with a NEW Full Length by the end of the year.  This is a Jam off the Full Length - We have been working on this new 'sound' for over a year and hope it hits your ear nicely.

2. LOLOMG - Phingaz
This is a solo jam I've been bringing out at shows here and there.  This one is for my internet thugs.

3. Take Control - Phingaz
Another solo jam - this one brand new!  The Wonderful Loving Girlfriend got me a new guitar for Christmas and this song was born out of it.

4. 2 Step - The Troubadours
Analyrical and I have been working on an album together under the name The Troubadours.  This song came about from our first marathon session.  Lots of funk - LOTS of funk.

5. See The Future - Background Noise Crew
Everyone always asks "When you gonna do another Crew song?!!?!" Well......

There it BE!  HUGE thanks to Sam for putting the art together for me on this lil'diddy (that's rapper terminology).  Download, enjoy, burn, share, tweet, facebook, blah blah blah blah - I don't even know what the kids are doing anymore these days.
