Last week my brother Logan was having his shoulder operated on. While in the waiting room, I was going through my music and got some inspiration. Funny how creativity hits at times like that.
So I sat with my laptop and headphones in a corner of this large waiting room, full of people. The sound of 20 different conversations, and the irritating buzz of mid-morning television. My youngest brother sleeps in the chair next to me, and my parents solve crossword puzzles.
Every once in a while a doctor comes around in scrubs, looking for a certain family.
This song is basically a glitch-rock mashup of two songs by Thrice, “Digital Sea” and “Paper Tigers.”
Have a listen my darlings.

My computer may be hitting on me…. I stumbled onto this song earlier, and I’ll admit the song is an awesome compilation. It mashes Daft Punk and Bob Marley.
Digital Love…
What could be wrong with that?
In the meantime this song continues repeating in my head.
“I wanna love ya. I wanna hold and squeeze ya. Everyday and everynight”
Love ya to computer

The site mp3orot.com will help you decide. It gives you two clips of a song. They are the same clip, but they have been encoded differently. Your job is to decide which one sounds better.
You may know already, but here I go. I’m going to tell you anyway. I’me in a band called TFLB. Stupid name, huh? Is that what you’re thinking? Well then, you are not a good person. But here is the thing. TFLB stands for something.

Didn’t see that coming did you? A deeper meaning. I’ve always been a big fan of those.
Check out The Casket Lottery. I like them for many reasons. One reason would be that they remind me of Coheed and Cambria. I like their lyrics too.
Here’s a little bio straight off Wikipedia:
“The Casket Lottery is a three-piece indie rock band from Kansas City, Missouri. The band started in 1997 as a side-project of the Kansas City hardcore band Coalesce. The band has toured across the United States numerous times (with Reflector, Small Brown Bike, Rocky Votolato, Proudentall, and Limbeck among others), as well as released a healthy amount of records.”
I got their album, ‘Moving Mountains.’ Turned out to be some really good stuff. I will start looking for their 3 other albums, as well as their EPs.
