..Oh here we go..

So this will be my new form of writing / picture sharing / information highway or whatever else interests me and i think should interest whoever reads this too.

I deleted my Livejournal from a while back a couple months ago because it was too lame.
I'm going to really try to keep my personal life as much out of this as possible. lol
Really i'm just going to be sharing my pictures and talking about new music i've found. or created? ...
if i get around to it. 
A lot of the time i'll find new music and be like.. "OMG I just HAVE to show people these guys!"
So this will be that. And maybe more.
who knows.

So let's start with a band i found a while back but just discovered their 2008 album.
The band is Forgive Durden. 
A Seattle, WA based band that originated with 4 members but now is narrowed down to one member: 
Thomas Dutton.

A good looker, indeed.

And also a genius.


The newest album, Razia's Shadow, would not do justice to be called just a concept album.

It is truly meant for the stage.

Within the album is a script, and a story that would probably put up a fight with other musicals out right now.

With each different track, there is a different guest singer from another band on the same label, Fueled by Ramen Records.

To name a few: Brandon from Panic at the Disco, Max from Say Anything, and Casey from the Dear Hunter.

Each guest vocalist plays a different part or character.

From what I've gathered so far the story revolves around, what you would think would be cliche, story of love between a Prince and Princess. 

Everyone seems to be against the affair except for the 2 birds. Especially the Prince's brother (Brandon from Panic).

I don't want to give much more away because it's an amazing story and is full of surprises and enjoyment. 


Anyway the link to their myspace which has one song from the new album and a very well done teaser video is:

myspace.com/forgivedurden


Go check it out and i highly recommend buying the album but if you're not into that just get it off a .torrent or some shit.

Either way it's way worth the effort to get it.
