Today started off in the worst of ways, praying to the porcelain gods. That's right kiddos, I got ****ing wasted last night, and I paid for it throughout most of the day. My fish Marlo finally died after about a week of being sick, so that kind of sucks, he was a cool fish. I went today to pick up a new fish, I got another male betta and his name is Giovanni, he's quite a swimmer. Today was also filled with an epic saga of boo boo's recent banning, which we're not going to touch on very heavily on, there's already a thread on that. But it made for quite the discussion. I've also been schooling some co-workers in Madden '11, they obviously hadn't heard that I'm the sick nasty when it comes to the Madden series, although the new game has some ****ed up new features and they also trashed some older really cool ones.

So today we're going to check out some really cool Alt. Country/Southern Rock, one of my favorite groups that got recommended to me about 3 years ago from my friend Joel. I never really picked up on the awesomeness of it until about a year ago when I gave it a few more listens. But, enough of this, time for some tunage.

Song of The Day: Never Gonna Change by Drive-By Truckers

This is a really great song (the video is pretty nice as well) from one of my favorite Alt. Country acts Drive-By Truckers. Drive-By Truckers are a six-piece that utilizes the "three axe attack", a technique in which a band will play with 3, rather than the traditional 1-2 guitarists. The band manages a really great sound/style combo that keeps them interesting on several levels. Yes, they are a country group, but don't get them confused with your contemporary CMT/Radio act, they are here to play good music. DBT brings a great traditional country sound into a new level of lyrical content and songwriting. Utilizing their roots and a contemporary approach to create a sound unlike anybody else out right now. A great track from a band that has many to chose from, I recommend if you haven't checked them out already, to do so. Song is from the album, "The Dirty South", I would recommend starting there. Enjoy.
