We The Kings
I'm gonna place my bets that sometime in the next two years, probably sooner, We The Kings is going to become super popular. I first heard of WTK back in January when they played at the Recher with Boys Like Girls (if you look back in the January archive of my blog, I actually mentioned them there). Back then I wasn't very impressed with their music, but just recently I looked them up, and they've recorded some new tracks that are amazing (you can hear these at purevolume.com/wethekings). On top of this, they're one of two artists that have been signed to s-curve records, the label that produced the hits Stacy's Mom and Who Let The Dogs Out, which reopenned a couple weeks ago after a two year hiatus. The band's self-titled debut is scheduled to be released this fall, but I have yet to know the date, or where to pre-order. If you love Boys Like Girls, You'll be crazy about We The Kings. I would've posted a song from youtube, but they're so under the radar right now, that there aren't any up. If you become a fan now, then you can say that you were a fan way before they were big. Over and Out.

Brattleboro, Vermont
(I took the time to write this. Please read it and comment)
Something about my mom's hometown really intrigues me. We visit Brattleboro at least twice a year, and there's this connection that I have with it that's so familiar yet so far away. It's so beautiful; the town is set on a hill leading down to the Connecticut river, which searates it from New Hampshire where Mount Wantastiquette provides an amazing backdrop for the town. Up here things go on at about the same pace as the suburbs, but on a smaller scale. The people who live up here all know each other because they're always running into each other. It certainly anything but a sleepy town. Downtown on Main Street there's always a crowd of people walking the sidewalks; it's basically the cultural center for the area. They have just about everything on main street, except of course for large store chains. Sam's Outdoor Outfitters is easily one of my favorites, because they have a popcorn macine right in the middle of the store where anyone can get free popcorn - and I must say, it's good. The culture here is noticeably different. There are a bunch of liberals, yeah, whatever. I've never seen so many long beards then when I'm here, it's really funny, any dred locks are fairly common, not like erybody has them, but you don't have to go far to spot them, even on a white girl. But above all this, I get to see my mom's side of the family when I'm here. Despite the fact that none of them are really Christians, I really enjoy being around my mom's family; It's big. My Aunts and uncles are always so relaxed; they have the best stories, and they're just so cool, and wow, they're all in great shape. Now I could go on forever, but I think I'll spare the reader and leave it there. I'm leaving for home in 3 1/2 hrs. Goodnight.
