Ok, it's been an absurdly long time since we posted a blog entry here. Just in case you were afraid Brandracket had become some kind of music agency ghost ship, drifting listlessly upon the sea, never fear, we are indeed extant. In fact, we'll be announcing a couple really cool things shortly. Meanwhile, here's a list of 10 things that I really love right now, in no particular order:
1. Dr. Rockso. Still.
2. "Pizza Guy", You Am I
3. Rain in California...at long last.
4. Playing live rock 'n' roll music and in doing so, being reminded why I've devoted my life to this stuff.
5. "Hurtin' Crew", The Descendents. Is Green Day paying this band monthly royalties? Because they're pretty much the architects of GD's sound (at least until a couple albums ago), one which they've taken to the bank, many, many times. To Billy Joe's credit, he's probably the first person to admit this.
6. Having a home for the holidays when so many do not.
7. Gingerbread cookies. (In fact, cookies of all kinds. Any cookie. Seriously.)
8. Revisiting the brilliance of Scooby Doo on a daily basis with my 4 year old.
9. "Silver" by Echo & The Bunnymen. Is there a guitar band that's this good today? Seriously. I'm not some out-to-lunch, over-the-hill dad that listens exclusively to the Collective Soul cassette that's stuck in my car's stereo. I'm immersed in new music 24 hours a day, listening very keenly. And I'm pretty sure there isn't a rock band anywhere near as good as Echo & The Bunnymen when they made Ocean Rain in 1984. I welcome any suggestions to the contrary.
10. Jawbox reunion on Fallon, 12/8.
Happy Holidays, everyone. ~ Tim
