New Year! Yay!

Okay, so I'm about an hour away from 2009 right now. A few things I want to do in 2009:

• Build a guitar. I know it sounds CRAZY intimidating, but I think I can do it! I'm thinking of doing something like this. I need to look into the quality of these things first, but if all is well, why not?
• Open new doors for my Etsy shop. I want to come up with some more great product lines and have double the fun for 2009!
• Drastically improve my guitar skills. I'm not bad now, but I can DEFINITELY improve. Plus, if I can get one step closer to the solo on this song, well, it's one step closer to AWESOME!

Among other things. I guess I really have a longer list, but it's full of cliche New Years resolutions that I'll probably forget about in a week.

Yeah, like that Black Hole Sun solo isn't an unrealistic goal....but hey, the negative little voice in the back of my head likes to blog too.

Top 10 Albums

Okay, this is just my current "Top Ten Albums" that I'm into right now. It'll probably be different in a week. But this is what I listen to a lot nowadays:

1.Euphoria Morning (Chris Cornell)-I've been addicted to this album for almost a year now. Still not tired of it. It's GENIUS. Every song on it is incredible. If you don't have it, get it.

2. In Utero (Nirvana)-In my opinion, the best Nirvana album, and just awesome in general.

3. Down On the Upside-(Soundgarden)-Pure lyrical genius. And some really great riffs too. I mean, it's not exactly thorough riff rock, but it's clever. Now Badmotorfinger, THATS riff rock.

4. Live Through This (Hole)-It's one of those albums where all the songs get stuck in your head. It's really good, lot's of different elements, from abrasive to mushy. It's a really great album.

5. Superunknown (Soundgarden)-This album is SO good. The vocals are awesome (as always) the guitar is FANTASTIC, and it's CATCHY! This album is grunge gold.

6. The Battle of Los Angeles (Rage Against the Machine)-Okay, you want the finest rap/rock there is? RATM is the band for you! With often political subject matter, the songs on this album are full of creative guitar parts, (the solo on Sleep Now in The Fire is nice) in your face lyrics, incredible bass playin', and AMAZING drums, this album is one of the best.

7. Nevermind (Nirvana)- Nirvana makes it twice on my list! This album contains original grunge glory. It smells exactly like Teen Spirit.

8. Audioslave (Audioslave)-This is like an album full of singles. You get the awesome instrumental power of Rage Against the Machine, with the addition of Chris Cornell's unrealistically powerful voice.

9. Louder Than Love (Soundgarden)-Soundgarden also get's to make the list twice-This album is a pretty early SG album, and has some really original stuff on it. It's fun to listen to, at times it's actually funny.

10. Coral Fang (the Distillers)-A great punk band, fronted by Aussie chick Brody Dalle, who has a nice abrasive voice and is great at writin' songs (nice gory subject matter). This album is actually The Distillers calming things down a little bit, if you can imagine that.... It sounds like Hole, Nirvana, and Rancid, all stirred up in one awesome spit in your face punk band.

So there it is, my top 10 albums list. Do with it what you will.
