It is Star Wars meets "hey, I just started using Photoshop!" Even if you take away those two elements, what is the thought and decision behind the main photo? Let's say it together, "Gay face". Lastly, am I supposed to connect deeply with the concept of the 'two faces of Blake'? The idea is nothing new and recently overused. There were the two faces of Britney in the video for 'Gimmie, Gimmie' and Kelly Clarkson fighting with label execs over exposing her rough-edge, rock-n-roll side. Now Blake Lewis is letting everyone know.More
Blake Lewis album review on All Music (2-1/2 stars)
Blake Lewis Official Site
If you like sampling new music, have a gander through my suggestions below. All music has value to me and on paper, songs are just bars and notes. Most of the time the production makes an album and that is what truly creates the idea of what the songs are personally. Whether arranged for live performance or for over-indulgence in the studio, production is the expression of the musical artist while song writing is the source.
Generally I will give an album four spins before establishing an opinion and most times this method has kept me from disregarding music by mistake. New music is like a new haircut in that it deserves the time for the newness to wear off on you before you can truly decide if you like it or not.

What does my going bald have to do with this website? It is my conclusion that these men all look like old lesbians because they have full heads of thick, stylish hair during the later ears of life. I'd rather be bald than look like a man that looks like a woman that looks like a man.

Bat For Lashes has made an incredible video directed by Dougal Wilson. It is one part Donnie Darko with a hint of Lily Allen's original video for 'LDN', fried in the 'one-take' batter of a Feist video.
Thanksgiving was different for me this year in that I remained in Austin. Since 1998 I have traveled to London to visit my friends and it has now come to be tradition. With the price of the dollar to the pound and the fact that Kyle and Dan, who I usually stay with, are traveling in Australia and New Zealand, there was no other wise choice but to hang out with family and local friends.
Rebecca and I ate dinner with our parents at their place and then headed over to Chip and Sioban's for a second meal and gathering. There was tons of food at both places and I was thoroughly stuffed; so much so that I only nibbled at my second meal. I drank plenty of beer and everyone rocked out to the video game 'Rock Band' which is the same as guitar hero but with a bass, drums and microphone. Afer a few ditties from Hole and The Clash, Sioban took the microphone and showed everyone how it was done by busting out some Beastie Boys.
