I
first ran into the Barnkicker’s music back in 2010.I have a tendency to invest a lot of myself
in music.The type of bands on That F’ing
Monkey are scattered across all sorts of musical genres.When I discovered the Barnkickers I quickly
ordered their CD.I devoured every track
multiple times and went looking for more. But that one CD was all there was.I needed more.
Now
there is a chance for more.Amanda
Boisen of the Barnkickers has started an Indiegogo fundraiser to help produce a
new album.The CD will be released under
the name AmandaLynn but her father will still be accompanying her and he is the
executive producer of the album.As with
all fundraisers there are tons of different donation levels and lots of neat
things to purchase.The 150 level taunts
me in my dreams because I know I can’t afford it.I’d love to have her father teach me how to
play upright bass too, but I have a feeling that would probably take more than
one lesson.I’d probably need to
actually own an upright bass too.
Anyway,
the video above is Amanda explaining the fundraiser far better than I can.You can also check out their website for more
information.And if anyone wants to buy
the “Cover Band” option for me, the song I want is “I’m Going to Go Back There
Someday” from the Muppet Movie.
Hello. I am back. My extended absence of posting is over (for now). Why have you been gone for a month and a half, you ask? Or perhaps you did not even notice I was gone. Either way the short answer is that I have been making some changes in my life and the blog was kinda low priority. Also I was in Colorado Springs for much of May and June for work.
Anyway this post is not about me this time. It is about a great comedy series on Youtube. Space Janitors.
I am loving this show. It has a ton of references to Star Wars and other beloved Sci-Fi series. It has won a few Canadian comedy awards - for good reason. Every episode has at least one laugh out loud moment. Plus I highly enjoy the Squall Troopers. Right now they are in the middle of season 2 and are looking for some help with season 3. Check out the Indiegogo campaign and throw a few bucks at them. I would love to see the third season come to fruition.
