I get my electric guitar from home today. Yay!
Relient K's new album, Five Score and Seven Years Ago, came out today, so I went to pick it up. Just listening to the first few tracks (and even the album cover and song titles) gives me the impression that it's a lot harder/darker than their previous albums. I kinda miss the simple happy punk-ness that Two Lefts Don't Make a Right had. Maybe after a few plays I'll like it more.
edit: Okay, I finished listening to it. It gets a bit happier as the album goes on. It's like the transition from Two Lefts to mmhmm, except more so. The first (especially the lyrics) and last tracks seems very Beatles-inspired musically, and it's a treat to hear Jon Foreman from Switchfoot sing at the end of it. I also love the intro to "I Need You." I love the dissonant chord in the intro and the fact that it's so emphasized it sounds good. Best track? "Crayons Can Melt On Us For All I Care." Easily. It's so awesome. Anything else I say will spoil it, though.

- I can be a lot of things. I can be a university student that's going to be in his second year of university taking software engineering. I can be a musician that plays guitar and bass, and does some composing or arranging on the side. I can be a math or science nerd that makes plenty of calculus jokes, whether you want me to or not. I can be a hardcore gamer, as well as an Apple and Nintendo fanboy (though not nearly as bad as some people are). I can be a guy that tries to follow Christ with all his might. I can be just an all-around good guy to talk to. But most of all, I can be me, and that's probably the most important thing I can be.

Haha, that song is awesome (I don't have the CD yet, but the whole thing is on their myspace right now)
Most of it, at least. I didn't see the 11-minute epic "Deathbed" (when I saw the track length, I thought there would be a hidden track at the end). I like some of the stuff they did to it, though. Reminds me of the Beatles (around Sgt. Pepper and Magical Mystery Tour), and when I heard the end, I swear I was listening to a Switchfoot song. But maybe that's just because Jon was singing.
