Update, Update, Update!

Good morning all you lovely rays of sunshine, it's time for an update on what Passing Faces has been doing to bring good stuff 'bout.

First off, we have done some gigs this summer (significantly less then we hoped) that took us all the way up to the Ogden area for the 4th of July, down to Pleasant Grove to participate in an attempt to break the world record for the longest ongoing concert with multiple bands (the key word here is attempt, unfortunately they didn't make it. They will try again though.) and, in Spanish Fork, we participated in the '11th Annual Booth Bros. Battle of the Bands.' Here we had a blast playing Charlotte Phrase, My Cartoon Wall, Tuesday, and Spoon. The judges were generally happy with our performance, but we didn't place, yet the night was not a total loss! After the battle we talked with one of the other bands there (Monster Under the Bed) and they really liked our stuff. We exchanged contact information, so hopefully next time either of us have a concert, you should expect to see the other one there, if scheduling works out, haha.

Well, I think that is all the concrete information that I am allowed to give you now (If I say any more McKay will beat me.). Now it is time for us to part ways. Stay fresh, stay hip, and always, Bring Good Stuff 'bout.


Well, now that Lacroux has introduced the post, all I have to say is that there are a lot of Harry Potter ones in this batch. You are welcome.

Disposable Dixie Cup Drinking

I would just like to reiterate how magnificent an album Yankee Hotel Foxtrot is. I've been listening to a lot of R&B, some Hip Hop, ("Get Ur Freak On") and some old fifties Rock and Roll lately. Yet one listen to "I Am Trying to Break Your Heart" and I'm right back into a Wilco obsession. I've had the album for three years and I'm still absolutely mesmerized. Also, if you've never heard the song "The Book of Love" by The Magnetic Fields... go check it out. It's definitely one of the best love songs I've ever heard.

Anyway, some tracks I've been listening to

People Get Ready - The Impressions
You Send Me - Sam Cooke from Portrait of a Legend
Georgia on My Mind - Ray Charles
Ignition (Remix) - R. Kelly from The R in R&B Collection
I Say a Little Prayer - Dionne Warwick
Walk On By - Dionne Warwick
Bye Bye Love - The Everly Brothers
Love Me Tender - Elvis Presley
Suspicious Minds - Elvis Presley
In the Ghetto - Elvis Presley
The Book of Love - The Magnetic Fields
Louie, Louie - The Kingsmen
Deja Vu - Beyonce (feat. Jay-Z) from B'Day
Get Ur Freak On - Missy Elliot from Miss E.. So Addictive
Jesus Walks - Kanye West from The College Dropout (which may or may not be the greatest rap song I've ever heard)
