Cell Phones

Cell phones are really starting to get to me. Everyone, even tiny children, have cell phones. Fine. I have one. But when the thing becomes an inseparable appendage fixed to your head/hand it becomes a problem. Why has this generation developed this desire to be in constant contact with everyone, all the time? Don't get me wrong, I'm probably just as bad as the next guy, but where did this need develop from? I was walking across campus this morning and more than once I almost got run down by someone texting so diligently that the person didn't even see me. I'm starting to develop some disdain for the technology that keeps us all in constant communication... but here's the rub. If we didn't have that then you wouldn't be reading about new music. Hmmm. Pros and cons I suppose.I wanted to apologize for my lack of posting last week but I'm afraid that with school and work I may only be able to post once or twice a week. Sorry, my life is just too busy. But if I could just do music... oh the life that'd be.I have to keep the bits short today... To the music.

--> Minus The Bear is an indie/experimental rock band from Seattle. Great stuff in my opinion. You be the judge.

--> These Arms Are Snakes is another band out of Seattle. These guys have the indie feel to them, plus a mix of mathcore/hardcore. Interesting combo. Check it out.

--> Windmills By The Ocean is a group that I'm struggling to describe. Indie, digital, rock, and probably much much more. Hear for yourself.
