Ch-Ch-Changes

Sometimes life slows down and gives you a chance to breathe and reflect. Other times it moves at warp speed and if you are lucky, you get a chance to take in the experiences flying your way.

Right now I'm going through a phase of change. It was bound to happen. I was feeling restless in where I was mentally and physically. I'm starting a new job in a few weeks which is a great opportunity in the journalistic sector. People tell me I have to pay my dues before I work at Rolling Stone so this is just on that track. I'm following the path of Hunter Thompson by working at a newspaper, slaving away for the man. And the coolest part is that I get my own column, free reign to write whatever my heart desires.

With this new job, I am required to move to a small town. I feel this is the perfect change for me as I was starting to feel the crush of the city. I was feeling suffocated and yearning for the forest and a slower pace lifestyle and now I'm getting it. The town I am moving to is my mom's home town so there are tons of relatives to visit with and I know my way around. I look forward to running through the forests, frolicing by the river and breathing in that mountain air.

These changes may turn some people off but I really feel they are exactly what I need to breathe. "You can't always get what you want, but if you try sometimes, you find you get what you need."

Je dois Partir

"A Tout le Monde"- Megadeth

Under My Thumb

"Under My Thumb"- Streetheart

I'm not one for covers, especially Rolling Stone covers, but this song blows me away.

And Streetheart is already legit thanks to their Canadian queues.

Wake Up Dead

Everyday I wake up, I'm discovering new music. Genres hold no bounds for me. I am comfortable listening to some 70's sold gold country just as I am with thrash metal, Swedish electro house, and dub rock. Whatever sounds good to me, as corny as that sounds, goes.

Every once in a while I go through musical phases. December was a trill wave. January was early 60's kitsch rock and The Smiths. And February is shaping up to be Thrash Metal month.

My sister and I had the pleasure attending Megatour on Saturday night where Motorhead and Megadeth played to a steamed up, drunken crowd. We loved getting soaked with sweat and wound up with neck injuries for the next two days from hitting it too hard. And I found my new obsession.

I actually went to the show stoked to see Lemmy in all his glory, growths and all. And he did not disappoint. But what I didn't know is how polarizing Dave Mustaine from Megadeth would be. He has a gorgeous mane of hair and a voice that is so cartoon like I can't help but laugh when he talks. I was surprised and now I am frankly obsessed. So in commencement to this new obsession, I would like to bring back the Rock Gods segment starting with Mr. Mustaine.
