Talking to some of my friends and family about my impending move to California is sometimes like banging my head up against a wall.

Bring Me Up is my blog site. Tons of stuff to keep up with, read about and listen to. It is updated multiple times each day because I'm slightly obsessed. I absolutely love music and writing. I also write for VENUS, Spacelab and Indie Music Xposed. So be sure to check out their sites as well.

Now allow me to rock you with the song that i think was the best opening track on any album in 2006...did you hear that Grammy's? Now there is a category for ya!!
The really cool thing about being a rock critic is that you often get to hear amazing albums months before everyone else. (There are some totally uncool things, which I expect to get to in a future post, but anyway...) So you'll have to wait until August 22 to hear, The Body, The Blood, The Machine, the new album by The Thermals, but I'm listening to it right now and it's just become my alltime favorite album of the day (as for the week, it's fighting it out with Frank Bla...

This is the first album that I bought becuase of a year end list write-up...and it is amazing!! It puts organized religion right in its crosshairs and pulls the trigger...again and again and again...just a superb record!!
And yes I will be marrying the bass player....
