I am so proud of my husband! This week his band was on XM Radio Channel 43 for College, Indie, and unsigned bands. WOW! PLUS they got several more great reviews on web magazines and music web sites.
I can't believe it, people are actually starting to notice how awesome Logs in the Mainstream is. (I of course have always know this) Some people here on DA even bought the album, THANK YOU!! If you did listen to the album, let me know what you think. And if you liked it please tell others, we need as much exposure for the band as we can get!


Pimping My Husband
When I first met my husband five and a half years ago, he and his band Logs in the Mainstream, were playing at a renowned monthly house party called MyDiningRoom.com I had only just heard about the band and was lured there by an excerpt from the band's bio:
“If eccentric was a style of rock, Logs in the Mainstream would be its core. Logs in the Mainstream combines rock, punk, funk, world beat, pop, Latin, country and a little of every genre, then spits it back as something all its own. Always lyrically insightful, a typical Logs theme is self reflective and socially aware from the inside out. Throw in heaps of humor and danceable grooves for girls with one leg shorter than the other and you have music known as Logs style. Logs has amassed a large and dedicated cult following online and in the Northeast area, sharing the stage with Cake, M. Doughty, Alice Donut and Colin Hay.” How could you not want to see a band like that?

I almost missed going to the show that day due to a series of odd occurrences but I made it just in time anyway. The New Jersey Star Ledger was there to cover the performance and I have to admit it was quite a show. They were playing songs from their second album Acaustic [link] Everyone was impressed especially when they somehow incorporated a didgeridoo into a punk rock song... Somewhere between the song about getting a heart to a transplant operation in time featuring the bass player on bagpipes and the heartbreakingly lovely ballad about taking a dump in the woods, I took notice of the lead singer. I thought him a different person than the homeless fisherman that I saw on the band's web page. But no, this was Mole all cleaned up and looking good, which is a good thing because we probably would have just ended up as the best of friends had he not shaved off his beard. Now even though I had sworn off men the week before and decided to become a hermit, I just had to go up to this Mole person and tell him how great the band was. Which I did as we shook hands, then our eyes met and before I knew it, we both fell ridiculously goofy in love. As Mole puts it, I was the first girl who ever really liked his music, so he had to marry me.

Fast forward 5+ years till today and you have the announcement of LITM's 4th album
The Ridiculous and the Sublime.
So far it is getting great reviews. Wednesday there will be one coming out on BlowUpRadio.com
This is an excerpt from a review by Neufutur Magazine, rating the album 7.9 out of 10 [link]
“each of the tracks is good enough to be a single, and this album will stay strong no matter how many times one listens to it. I was not familiar with Logs In The Mainstream before picking up “The Ridiculous & The Sublime”, but I know that I will be paying attention to them in the months and years to come. Give the disc a go."

Not bad hmmm?
I think that my favorite part (other than having a song called Tequila and Power Tool's written for me) is that the actual CD is reminiscent of the black vinyl records that I grew up with, keeping in with the Beatles/Beaver record album cover.

So please, please, please buy the album or at least a few songs and if you like it please tell others... We need to pay the bill for recording it!!!

Please come and visit my club *perspectate It is a club in which the pictures you submit must have a interesting perspective. This could be something shot at a noticeable angle (such as a Dutch Angle), an extreme close up/macro or reflection.
Basically it is just shooting or editing a photo to make it look as if it is taken from some way OTHER than the head on way we normally see them at eye level point of view. If you are crawling on the ground or climbing up things to get the shot, chances are you are on the right track.
It is loads of fun and you would have a lot of fun if you joined it! (hint, hint) Note me at *perspectate

The ~PatternsClub is a club in which the pictures you submit must be of patterns or textures. It can be any art medium you chose so long as it meets this criteria. While most people tend to think of fabrics when they think of Patterns and Textures, they can also be found everywhere in nature as well in in man-made things.
Examples of Texture: Macro shots of earth, fire, water, glass, concrete, wood.
Examples of Patters: Large shots scale of traffic jams, architecture, rows of trees or flowers.
Not that you have to shoot only those things... The major point is to get creative and look and find the patterns in everything... Much in the same way that *perspectate Club encourages its members to look for funky perspectives in everyday life.

If you think this club sounds like a fun idea to you, then I hope you will take a look at it and perhaps join (send me a note there) at ~PatternsClub I think you will agree that it is both easier and more fun than you expect.


East Coast baby!!!!!

So I have found a new club that I am so excited about. It is the ~EastCoastDeviants
They seem to be really good on keeping up to date on correspondence and member involvement.
I am hoping that all of my local friends will join ~EastCoastDeviants and we can FINNALLY have a big devMEET.
