I’m in the mood for guitar shopping. maybe it’s the christmas shopping spirit washing over me, but i’m definitely down for a solid gorgeous new guitar. I play a Fender Telecaster and i love it more than any guitar i’ve ever owned. But i also love Gibsons and Epiphones. especially when it’s an incredibly expensive Gibson model that has become affordable thanks to Epiphone. The ES-355 model is one i’ve been looking at for years from afar. It just so happens to be one of Gibson’s most expensive models. Enter Epiphone and their cheaper, but still high quality version of the same guitar. Basically i want it. Damn me and my selfish ways.

Oh Ladies

Not sure how i feel these days when it comes to my love of women. I’m not sure if it’s just cause i’ve been single for awhile that i hold the idea of a relationship at arms length, but i’m just honestly missing it. The comfort of knowing someone really cares about you, and they care differently than they care about anyone else. Knowing that someone out there actually thinks you’re attractive, and wants to spend their time with you is a feeling that’s hard to describe.

warm i guess, if i had to put it into words. warm.

i don’t know. i guess this blog is meant for more than just reviews of shit. i wanna say some stuff that means something. 

whatever, i’m just babbling

Time Didn’t Run Out

Today it was my pleasure to enjoy watching the new Justin Timberlake action movie: In Time. I know at fist glance it sounds like something you chuckle at the thought of. JT an action star? 

To be totally honest though, i really enjoyed this movie. The whole concept of only physically aging to 25, and unless you work and earn time, you’ll run out and die. It’s like a huge metaphor for how the rich suck and the poor are hopeless to an incredible extreme. Imagine running out of money completely, you’d still be alive. But if you run out of time, you die instantly. 

Timberlake did a great job as the lead, playing a very convincing good guy, who’s only trying to fight for the people. there were great stunts and super cool visuals when they steal ‘time’ from one another.

Overall i give this flick an 8/10 for an original story, great actors, and cool visuals

I can’t tell you how many amazing albums have come out this year. It seems like every other week i find another upcoming release to get stoked for. This week my hunger and anticipation was finally fed when Gallows released their new EP at long last.  After the departure of original frontman Frank Carter, the band now has a new singer, former Alexisonfire guitarist and vocalist Wade McNeil. I can not believe how incredible exciting news that was. I remember vividly being told the news that Alexisonfire had broken up. It was pretty devastating. Their logo was to be my next tattoo. But hearing that Wade would front Gallows from now on almost shadowed my sadness with an ever building excitement. I’m a big fan of Black Lungs, Wade’s smoother sounding solo project, and i’d been waiting for the chance to really hear his vocals go rough and balls out you know. And this EP did not disappoint at all. There are only four songs on the Death is Birth EP and it clocks in at under 8 minutes. Each song is harder and faster than the last. My favourite being True Colours, a song thats only 36 seconds long. It was the first released song with Wade on vocals and my excitement flew through the roof after hearing this track. Overall this is a solid EP and i recommend it for any past Gallows and AOF fans as well as any fans of good old fashion hardcore punk music.

WHAT IS WRONG WITH PEOPLE?

Some people just make me angry. I don’t know how they can be so incredibly stupid and arrogant. How does someone treat others with little to no respect at all times and not realize why people don’t like them. It’s really kinda sad when i see them. So oblivious to how the real world works and how they should act around others. Making outwardly racist comments without even realizing their making them is one of the most angering and depressing things to see. It makes it hard to imagine raising a child in this world. I’m starting to feel like there’s not a point anymore. Why should i have to feel this way?

I’m getting less and less excited for the future.

Yesterday i witnessed a film i’ve been waiting to see for years. After 4 long years of promises and a release date constantly being pushed back, rock band Angels & Airwaves feature sci-fi film ‘LOVE’ was released alongside their double album of the same name. My first thoughts on the film: After waiting for so long, and never truly knowing what would actually happen in the plot, LOVE did end up being quite a good film. Definitely a mix of what i expected (art house movie with beautiful visuals and a fantastic soundtrack), with a few left turns thrown in to keep you interested during a few of the slower, more beautiful scenes. This is not a mainstream film for the regular movie-goer. It’s definitely something made to impress and to put their money where their mouth is. Far too artsy with too many scenes left to the viewers impression for wide-spread appeal. On a side note, the film was only made for $500,000 in the director’s backyard, and it looks like a big budget blockbuster. The visuals alone are worth seeing the movie for. If you are a fan i can guarantee you will enjoy it just as much as i did.  I give it a solid 8/10. AVA Forever
