Bright Eyes Album Review:
Meh, I’ve been a fan of bright eyes for a very long time (Since 1999 to be exact)
I think you either like it, or you hate it.. since his voice is pretty much the same
on every CD. His newest CD “Four winds EP” is a mix of his last two CD’s.
A little bright eyes math for you! Im wide awake its morning + Digital Ash = Four winds
The Songs on four winds…
1. Four Winds: The first time I heard this song, it was from Bonnaroo last year, It sounds alot like bob dylan.
” A squatter’s made a mural of a Mexican girl
With fifteen cans of spray paint and a chemical swirl
She’s standing in the ashes at the end of the world
Four winds blowing through her hair”
2. Reinvent The Wheel: I loved the opening of this song, i’ve heard rumors around the internet that it’s about elliot smith.
“my friend you were the model
a priceless work of art
boys would fashion their emotions to the pattern of your heart
and I heard you wrote that record for a girl who loved a guy
I’m here sewing mine together just hoping your alive
and i know you’ll never come back now to the world where people are
because you never understood what they loved you for “
3. Smoke Without Fire: this song is much more laid back, and short. I definitly think it’s the worst song on the CD. Sounds too much like Billy Joel.
4. Stray Dog Freedom: Electric Guitar, Scratchy vocals, much different from some of his other songs, the lyrics are simple.
” theres a skinny dog
in a dirty parking lot
and he doesn’t bite
but he begs
and he knows whats true
so if you are he’ll follow you
if you’re headed home
all the way”
5. Cartoon Blues: This is my favorite song on the cd, very good vocals, very good lyrics. All around AWESOME song, I suggest you listen to it!
“so i sleep with the fan on to drown out the street
and the noise rising up from the bar underneath
but for that inconvenience all my drinks are free
so i guess it’s just as well”
6. Tourist Trap: This song is available to be downloaded off the saddle-creek website :] Check it out
Overall, it’s a good CD, I’d suggest buying it. I’d rate it an 8 out of 10..

Content, Content.. content…..
Meh, I hate writing content for my website, I feel like i’m ripping off other sources!
But most of this is just universal information, it’s not a huge deal.. Today i’d like to finish
about 2-3 new sections on the website and maybe get a guestbook up and running.. Wish me luck!
School was pretty boring, As soon as ryann got there we took off and went to dunkin donuts, we decided
to be late since our first classes suck! I still need to apply to a college.. Thinking Plymoth state university for
my general classes, It can’t be too hard, my friend justin goes there and somehow parties almost everyday
and only failed one class. I doubt i’ll fail the school seems to easy, I just won’t take too many classes so I don’t
get stressed out.
I finished House of Leaves, It was amazing. I definitly think everyone should read it, you might loose sleep over it. (I did!)
The story is very complex, and everyone can ‘relate’ to at least one character in the book. The book has a TON of hidden meanings..
I’m going to have to read it again to find a bunch of the symbols and codes.. Anyways.. Time to work on the website :]
www.hippy-crack.net Check it out! =)

Well, i bought my first domain!
Hippy-crack.net! It’s launch is comming sometime next week, once i get all the bugs fixed, and the content put in, i’ll be offically launching the website, I can’t decide what i’m going to use for my content manager.. The choices…
*Drupal
*Geeklog
*Joomla
*Mambo Open Source
*Php nuke
*PhpWCMS
*Php Website
*Post-Nuke
*Site Frame
*Typo 3
*Xoops
————————————
I played around with Joomla and found that the interface isnt very customizable..then i went on and tried php-nuke, talk about a bunch of useless shit! So many features, I couldn’t deal with all of them. After that I tried out the php-Website, and kept getting errors.. So, i still don’t really know what i’m going to use, I want a customizable interface, Large banner on the front, a green background, (maybe pixel grass?) The banner should have something to do with hippies and the N2O molecule.
Oh yeah, for hosting i got a $15 package from www.hostgator.com, they we’re kind of slow at first but we’ll see how things pick up :] I think they take better care of you, if you pay more money
(of course, I don’t blame them!) Anyways, I’m going to bed soon, gotta finish my last cig, then laydown.. Dream of money :]
Adios, Topher
