the reason for this blog

I was sitting at my desk at work the other day, and thinking to my self I need another way to keep myself bussy when I cant sleep at night, And it hit me. Im going to do a small review and maby story of how I got into the band blah blah blah... of the CD's im my personal collection.Have no fear I still will do "so this is where all my money gos" on a regular basis. That is dedicated to all the NEW items that wind there way into my collection. This is about the existing CD I already have and have bin enjoying for next to forever. Maby just maby Ill get into the vinyl. Im not 100% if Ill ever get that froggy, but who knows. This is going to be on a random basis. What I mean by that is this is NOT a top ten, tweny, or one hundred count down. Or a list of the bands that changed my life. This is a blog about ALL the music in my collection. IN NO PARTICULAR ORDER just what ever I have at arms reach of what Im listning to at the time of post. At the same time it will contain ALL the good, the bad, and the shit Im ashamed of. Im thinking this is going to take a while so sit back and enjoy the ride.

# 6 Jeremy Enigk ''ok bear''

Jeremy is quite possibly my favorit singer song wrighter of all time. He could sing the encyclopedia britannica and I would buy it, And love it. OK BEAR is the latest of his solo works. And one hell of a releas it is. this is more of a throw back to his days with SUNNY DAY REAL ESTATE. It has a much richer sound and a solid rock N rool back bone. The lyrics are abstract with a root in religion. Its comforting that he has embraced his religion and can sing about it but a non - preachy way. With songs like 'lifes too short' and 'state of mind' there are hints of religous nature but nothing that will turn off a person.
His voice has a very distinctive quality and fits him quite well. His high piches vocals are so different than most out there that it kind of puts him in a all class of his owne. its haunting yet strangly beautiful it wraps around you like a old blanket.
When lewis hollow records stated they were doing a pre order and it come signed! well hell I had to put my order in.
this is a heck of a disc and needs to be in every ones collection.

ps the cool thing about this is it was recorded in Spain with studio musicans and written there as well. It come out so well you would think it was years in the making. that just gos to show you how amazing of a musician he is.

my favorit track on this is ALL OF THEM I CANT PICK ONE!
