I've been a bad boy
So I finally got tired of waiting on Merv Pepler and Will White's collaboration under the moniker The Flexitones and decided to do a search on Soulseek for it. Strangely, it hasn't been released yet according to Twisted Records, but it can be had on Soulseek with a quick search for Flexitones.
First off, I am in no way whatsoever condoning the pirating of music. I in fact find it appalling. With that said, when an album that has been finished for awhile now fails to be released, I feel no shame in grabbing it (until the cd comes out of course - at which point, like all good albums, I shall buy it directly from the artist). Well, what can I say? Its a bit dated, but I half blame this on Twisted for not releasing it when it was actually complete and half blame Will White for being stuck in this big beat Propellerheads style. Aside from that small complaint, it is one hell of an album. The influences on Joyrider are abundant. Fans of Eat Static will definitely find something for them in here. The synths of Merv Pepler are all over the place. Fans of the Propellerheads style are going to be absolutely floored. Thats the beauty of a collaboration with a member of Eat Static. Its a guarantee that your tracks will reach a new level and the Flexitones are no exception.
If dancing and chilling out suit your tastes, this CD comes highly recommended.

In other news, school has begun and boy does it ever SUCK. I have however played guinea pig and have a lesson for all of you to use in your lives: Never, I repeat NEVER, skip your gen eds and do the fun stuff first. I am now waiting on a degree because I didn't want to do the crappy one level biology and math classes. This makes for one boring college experience. Especially for someone who has been doing grad courses... Uggh. Basically, get the crap out of the way first and then enjoy yourself taking courses on all the things that interest you. The reverse is not pretty.
