No apology, I’m just going to post.

Summer in Tallahassee has been a bit lack luster. I spent the first half doing pretty much nothing, and working very little, and haven’t changed much in the second half. Well I’m working at the DEP and work normal hours, but other than that I don’t do much.

I found myself this past summer on a road trip to Chicago via Nashville. I went with some friends of mine who are in a band called Maida Vale. They are a good mix of Wilco, and a spice of Ryan Adams. I heard their sound described recently as being like 3rd Day. Seriously, has this person ever heard the band. Some people relate music different than I do…a lot different.

I was playing with a guy who called himself “matt.james”, period and all (just nod your head and move on). The music is a mix of Dashboard Confessional and…well that’s it really. If you know me at all that music is just not my cup of chai latte. I’m more of a bluesey soul kind of player. And just my luck Tallahassee is a hot bed of good quality soul music.

I say I was playing so you would logically ask the question “What are you doing now?” I’d tell you I’m playing at church a few times a month, and I was just asked to play with a friend of in his group In Wrath. It’s kind of a European power trio feel with a melodic vocal pressence. I actually just made that up. I’m not sure how to decribe Josh’s music. Hang in there and I’ll have some better words to describe the sound.

School starts in 2 weeks, I’ll be sure to tell you how it goes.
