The Reception

[So I'm playing this new game that I rented called Burnout Revenge (the Xbox version) and it has some pretty sweet music. In addition to Mxpx, Comeback Kid, Fall Out Boy, Funeral for a Friend, Pennywise, Unwritten Law, Yellowcard(new unreleased track), Academy Is, All American Rejects, Andy Hunter, etc., there is also a new unreleased track by Thrice from the Vehissu sessions called “Lullaby” which is a pretty incredible track. It should have made the album in my opinion because it would have been a great single. I wonder if this game has a soundtrack for sale? Maybe a legal download of the track? Hmmm. Anyway, check this game out if you like fast race destruction and cool music.

[Sorry About The Catfight has posted 4 new tracks on their MySpace
and PureVolume pages.  Check them out.

I remember the cartoon being strange. I’m going to see The Chronicles of Narnia this weekend with the family so that should be loads of fun and I am eagerly anticipating it. Will it be good? Hmmm..Oh and for all you XBOX owners out there, go pick up Battlefield 2: Modern Combat, it kicks butt.

[I went to see Circa Survive (favrotie band ever),Thrice, and MCR tonight.  MCR was very lousy, for ever reason.  When Thrice was playing their new songs fromn Vheissu, I got a very spiritual vibe from the songs, so I checked the lyrics out just a minute ago.  Sure enough, there seems to be a lot of stuff pointing towards salvation.  You can read the lyrics here . It’d be cool to discuss this, because I know that Thrice had Christian roots, but Dustin has never been this spiritual, lyricswise.  Either way, Christians can learn a lot from this album.
