Half priced what?

Song of the Week: Touch The Sky when Soul Meets Body - Death Cab for Yeezy. A mashup between Kanye and Death Cab. This mashup was posted on soundcloud for about 24 hours before Kanye's team took it down for copyright reasons. This seems to be a recurring theme with Kanye and his new album The Life of Pablo which he says will never be for sale and is only streaming on Tidal. I am sure this will change since his album had been torrented over 600k times early last week. It is 2016, you can't stop the people. The Death Cab for Yeezy album has been re-posted around the internet, but it constantly being removed, so we shall see if it lasts here. If you can't find the 6 songs that were mashed, holla at a boy and I'll hook you up.   Check it out.

Here is a notable event of the week, Rachel uses a car phone charger for the first time ever! Quite an accomplishment and very proud of her of making this big step in her life. A standard and busy work week was followed up with a jam packed weekend of wedding planning events, visiting friends and family, and a little bit of lax preparation. I am also going to mention that we stumbled upon some insane deals on alcoholic beverages. Basically half off on a lot of products, must keep this in mind for every February. Our hottest pick-up was a 4 pack of budlight that was taped together with packing tape. Save Dat Money, and for those who haven't, go check out your local store and see if there is any left! Check out this interesting article/visual about what muscles we are stretching when we do specific stretches. Pretty neat. Also Beth's blog about baking has me hungry, so I am going to go grab some lunch!

Movie of the Week: LCD Soundsystem's Shut Up and Play the Hits. An interesting look at frontman James Murphy's 48 hours before and after his final show. He had a late start and an early exit to the music industry. However, he is back in 2016!

Videos of the Week: Stumbled upon (searched) these two videos from the Delta Buds shows John and I attended back in June. There were some dudes with some nice cameras filming and I was wondering when they would release some of the stuff. These are the only two videos so far.

I don't know about you guys, but I am sold on Frog Fitness after watching this video. Let me know if you will be investing in Frog Fitness!

Making a Murderer: The Simpsons Version.

TV Show of the Week: Walking Dead is back and they are finally killing off some of the lame characters! Hooray!

Thanks for reading

Only 1 week until the madness begins! High School Varsity Lax!

Bring on Spring with Music

It is officially February 8th and I still have not had McDonald's this year! A pretty big accomplishment from the McChicken spokesman, however, I have a feeling this may change very soon with lax season right around the corner.

January is officially over and so is my no alcohol streak. Although it unofficially ended in the middle of January, only ever had a couple glasses of wine on that one night for 30 days. 1 day of drinking out of 30 ain't bad! On to the next challenge for February, no candy... This may be a tougher beast to handle. Bring it!

Song of the Week: Every Planet We Reach is Dead by the Gorillaz off their amazing 2005 Album Demon Days. If you haven't lately, go ahead and listen to that album cover to cover. Pretty amazing. Also I discovered that the Gorillaz is only 2 guys. One guy who does all the music and one guy who does all the animation. Snap!

I have recently started an account on both soundcloud (yaboysjcubed) and bandcamp (yaboysjcubed) and have been enjoying both music streaming sites. I have also found myself buying more music for smaller bands that I enjoy that I cannot attain at the library (hence the bandcamp account). Gotta love supporting the artists you enjoy.

Hey! It's black history month AND the ground hog didn't see his shadow the other day. That means spring is here and so is this adorable? photo of me as a young Punxsutawney Phil with a young Squidl! Speaking of Squid, check out her latest blog post about the joys of being an Aunt!

On Thursday Feb 4th, Rachel and I hit up Dukes for buy one get one free Apps and 3 dollar Great Lakes Beers. Some delicious burger bites, wings, and waffle fries. Told you the non-drinking streak was over!

Continued my dining experiences at Hooters the next day for lunch. I feel like I have been to one before, but this may have been my first time ever at Hooters? I failed to get the wings though, so I guess I will have to return...

Saturday February 6th 2016 was met with a morning lax practice for FV and then followed up with some Yoga Sculpt with our fav class/instructor. It kicked my booty again, but I had a great time. Still feeling sore today from it. Rachel and I enjoyed the evening with friends at Headquarters, the beercade, where we set some records and posted up playing Q*Bert all night long. While Rachel went to use the bathroom, I had just finished a game up and someone behind me asked to jump on. I said sure no worries. 30 minutes later, the dude had absolutely obliterated my scores and set a record on the machine for the night. When I told him it was pretty impressive, he responded with, "I didn't date very much in high school." Q*Bert Legend.

Check the scoreboard above! Rachel accidentally put her name in as ARM, I am JWM, the legend is DAV..

Super Bowl Sunday was enjoyable, the big SuperBowl 50, first time using numbers instead of roman numerals. Rachel and I walked over to Brian's to hang and watch the game with him and Megan in Wrigley. Rachel made a couple of tasty apps, bacon wrapped potatoes and what I am going to call a loaf of bread that was sliced into little bites, while Brian provided the left of beverages from New Years still. I partook in too many drinks and was feeling it this morning. The Super Bowl was pretty fabulous. Peyton Manning can now exit on top (let's hope he retires) and Cam Newton can try again next year. A super defensive game that some may say was a bit boring, but I thought both defenses were exciting to watch and it is always better in good company! The commercials this year were meh, alright. Highlighting the top ones, golden retriever dad driving a golden retriever pup around, obviously the bizarre puppymonkeybaby one, Heinz and the weiner dogs running, and then the dogs who sneak into the grocery store to get their doritos. Go Titans!

Video of the Week: Meant to post this crazy music video last week, but forget. A pretty solid song, but a really really really strange video. Check it.

Bonus video for this week! Video shot with an iphone and some fishing string. Maybe I should upgrade to the 6 and I can make videos like this!

TV show of the Week: Rachel and I started Game of Thrones! So far we are 4 episodes in and are loving it! Winter is coming!

Gas is still on the decline, as I picked some up for $1.399 a gallon. Let's see where it is next week. Until then.
