This song is also on Commit This to Memory. I like the video because it looks like they made in in the spring in Minnesota.

Motion City Soundtrack’s secon album came out in 2005. It it titiled Commit This to Memory. Here is the video for the first single off the album.

If you have been reading my blog you would know that Motion City Soundtrack is one of my favorite bands. If you haven’t been reading my blog, well, Motion City Soundtrack is one of my favorite bands. They are from my home state of Minnesota, and I have seen them four time. Sadly I have to miss them in November when they come around again.

Well, their new album hits stores Tuesday. You can listen to it now here.

All weekend I will be posting videos to get you hooked so you buy their CDs. This first video is from their first album, I Am the Movie. It came out in 2003. I fell in love with them the second I heard it. I was lucky enough to see them play in Grand Forks that year. The wife and I were jumping up and down, singing to every song, and nobody else knew who these guys were opening for Dashboard Confessional.

Yesterday was a great day. The wife had to work, so I spent the whole day watching football. I don’t get too many days anymore where I can watch three games with no interruptions. It was even better now with a fridge full of beer and the new HDTV.

Today I am hoping for good news from Kevin Everett. He is a reserve tight end for Buffalo who hurt his spine in the game against my Broncos. It was nice that my Broncos were able to squeak out a win, but it was terrible what happened to Everett.

Two more games on tonight. Too bad the wife will be home tonight so I won’t be able to enjoy the games in peace. Then again maybe she will let me. Who knows? We will see….

I just saw this awesome animated video about Internet superstars on Amber Mac’s blog.

It’s scary how many of those people I recognize. Brings back memories from a lot of classic YouTube videos.

I just read this on our local newspaper’s website:

The Fargo Police Department is informing the public of a Level III or high-risk sex offender’s change of address.

Jeffrey Paul Theisen is now living in a white 1996 Mercury Cougar with North Dakota license plate number HNL-738.

He parks in the area of the 1700 block of Fargo’s 49th Street South and visits an apartment at 2036 49th St. S., police said in a press release issued today.

It’s kinda scary that a sex offender is calling his car his home. This probably happens all the time in cities with warmer climates. Not so much in Fargo. With the price of gas these days, who knows what he is going to do come winter. Heating his car is probably going to cost more then rent somewhere.

So we had a little scare over the weekend. Saturday I got an email from my Mom. She spent most of Friday in the hospital. She had an MRI because she has been having some back pain. After she left the office she went shopping. Then she got a call from her doctor to come in immediately. There was something wrong with her aorta. They diagnosed her with an aortic dissection. Kinda scary so I have actually heard of that. That is what killed John Ritter. It can be deadly if not discovered.

My Mom has a major problem with people from other countries, foreigner. Of course the Doctor was Indian, most of the doctors around here are. Unfortunately, if you are not white with a northern accent, my Mom wont trust you. The doctor wanted her to take beta blockers to lower her blood pressure. She refused saying she doesn’t have high blood pressure so she doesn’t need them. She took the prescription though and left.

After she got home she talk to my brother who is a chiropractor. He told her to start taking the pills immediately, and he is usually against taking pills for a lot of things.

I was worried Saturday night, but after I found out that she listened to my brother, I feel better. I guess she just has to rest, relax and take the pills and it should heal on it’s own. It doesn’t sound like it is bad enough for surgery.

I was a hugh Nirvana fan back in the 90s. They are still my all time favorite band even though I don’t listen to them much anymore. Nevermind is my all time favorite album. It was basically glued into my tape deck of my ’83 olds. My hair was long, bangs were down to my chin. My jeans were holey and I was never without my flannel shirt. Times sure have changed, but “Lithium” still brings tears to my eyes for some reason. Today I ran across this video on YouTube. It is Polyphonic Spree doing a cover of “Lithium” with sock puppets. It’s funny, but sure brings back memories of 1992.

I loved Weird Al’s “White and Nerdy”. The video was all over the net when it first came out. Well, here it is again… in LEGOS!

MXPX have been one of my favorite punk bands since the early 90s when I first got into punk. They played in Fargo three times that I know of and it sucks that I was only about to catch them once. Their newest album came out last month and it RAWKS just like all their other ones. They just recently performed two songs and a cover of a Tom Petty song for AOLs Sessions Under Cover. I am a sucker for acoustic guitars and cover songs. Check them out!
