OCTOBER CD PICKS

hey guys, I'm going to be adding to this list for sure, but I wanted to make sure I posted some of my CD picks for october just in case I don't get a chance to update later...
anyway my first pick is DAYS DIFFERENCE by Days Difference..haha, it's their debut album on their label, and it hits iTUNES on the 6th! I'm so proud of these guys, so please spread the word for them! More of their tour dates are coming soon!

my next pick is ON YOUR SIDE by A Rocket to the Moon! you can pick this up at any place that sells CDs, iTUNES, and if I'm not mistaken I believe that you can still pre-order it. (hint-sometimes if you pre-order it, you get it a day or two early!)

YO RISSA! (dd)

hey everyone! So you know how you're always thinking 'Hey, Rissa, stop trying to get me into this rad band called Days Difference, when you know it's torchure that I can't buy their merch!!!' Well, now you can!!!!!! Days Difference has their online merch store up and running, and they have assured me that more stuff is coming soon! Also, they get notification's on their phones when people buy stuff, and it makes them smile when they get those! So make my boys smile, and smile yourself when you get your awesoome merch, and rock it!!

Also, i know we've been talking tour for them for awhile. But I heard it from them yesturday (via their stickam chat) that within two weeks the dates should all be finalized. I know it's all over the place, but they don't have any control over it, because they arn't the headliners. Let's see how it all turns out! As always I'll let cha know!!!

Ryan Ross

Hey everyone, I stumbled upon this video of Ryan Ross playing a cover song at a George Harrison Tribute show. I thought you might find it interesting. It's good to see that he's still out there playing. I'll keep you updated on his project "The Young Veins"
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cb0XGGx7JdE

Not gonna lie though, if my mom were younger, she'd hit on him hardcore in his current stage!

DISCLAIMER and leaks

Okay, so this is just a disclaimer, and a note for future readers.
A few people have told me that a new A Rocket to the Moon song was released. But here's the thing, it wasn't released, it was leaked. I will not post leaks, unless it's the "official" ones put out by the band themselves. Leaking otherwise I feel is beyond disrespectful to the band. I don't believe that a true friend/fan will leak a song before it's intended for us to hear it. So I'm sorry, but I will have nothing to do with leaks. I'm not about to build a career by pissing off the bands I love, and want nothing more than to write about them, promote them, and listen to their work. Yes, bands put out music for us to listen to. But they loose money through greedy crap. Along with that, I will not post links to illegal downloading sites. Once this song is officially released, I'll be sure to let you all know A.S.A.P!
I truly appriciate all the readers I have. Introducing people to music is what I want to do for the rest of my life. Music as changed my life dramatically over the past couple of years, and it's all because someone told me about a band, or i read about a band.
With that, tour dates, release dates, and reviews are coming!
Peace, Love, and Stereo!

Boys Like Girls

Hey everyone, I just read an excellent review for Boys Like Girls new album 'Love Drunk' which hits stores tomorrow! I though I would share this review with you, because it's exactly the type of review I dream i'll be able to write some day! Enjoy!

MUSE

I'll kick myself later, but I totally realized that I forgot to mention that MUSE's new album hits stores here in the U.S. september 15th!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! their fanbase in the u.s. hasn't really grew too much over the years, but critics are saying that's going to change after this record, so check it out!

Disco Curtis, and Days Difference

hey music lovers! So Days Difference officially announced who they will be touring with, and guess what, I stumbled into an amazing band while getting this info! Anyway, they are going to be touring with School Boy Humor, All Star, and Disco Curtis! Dates are not up yet, as always I'll let you know when they are!
So anyway, I was browsing the other bands, as I usually do, and discovered that Disco Curtis has extreme potential! Their very first EP comes out on the 26th of september, and today is the last day that you can pre-order it over at smartpunk.net. I guess you get a rad poster with it, so go to their myspace, and give them a listen, and then you can decide if they are worth the $5.99!
Sorry it's late on the date, but I just heard these guys for the first time yesturday!

I found out today that a lot of girls want a relationship with a guy that is always around. That she can have at her disposure. I learned today that I don't want a guy to worship me ALL the time. I'd rather have a guy with a life, and when we have time for each other, then we could express it. I had a dream last night, and I had an hour long drive today that made me think. All I did in the drive was listen to music, and it made me miss you. All I did in the Dream, was love you.
Sorry, a little bit of personal stuff, but music makes me think, and I love it!

AHHHRE YOU HAPPY VIDEO!

Here it is, right on Day's Difference's myspace! Absolutly amazing! I'll be posting my review of it on my myspace, but I don't think I'll post it here. Either way I'll link it once I write it! GO ENJOY!

Happy tuesday everyone! Lots of updates today!!! First of all, my Cd picks for September!
Paramore-Brand New Eyes- comes out on the 29th, and you can order your pre-order right now! check that out, and loads of other goodies on their myspace. You can download their single 'Ignorance' right now on iTunes. http://www.myspace.com/paramore

Boys Like Girls-Love Drunk- comes out on the 8th, and you can pre-order it, and the entire album is streaming on their myspace right now!!!! Single 'Love Drunk' is available right now on iTUnes. http://www.myspace.com/boyslikegirls

You can currently pre-order a Rocket to the Moon's upcoming full-length, 'On Your Side.' There is a standard preorder, and a deluxe that comes with a shirt, and picture book. I went for the deluxe myself, because I'm a sucker for a picture book! They also added new member by the name of Andrew, so visit their myspace, and show them all some love! http://www.myspace.com/arockettothemoon

As I believe I posted last night, you can check out a sneek peak to Days Difference's new music video for 'Are You Happy.' Release date of the video is still unknown, but I'll let you know once I get the word!

Last but certainly not least, Blink-182 has cancelled shows, and will resume on friday in Kansas City. This sucks, I know, but fans must be understanding. A dear friend of theirs past away, and the funeral to my understanding was last night. Keep the family of DJ AM, and Blink-182 in your thoughts and prayers. Here is the link to Alternative Press' which further explains the situation. Re-schedules, and refunds are still unknown. http://www.altpress.com/news/blinkcleve.htm
