Musical Talent...
As some of my closer friends may know i've always been certain that my career in life would be around music. Although I've never gotten into an instrument enough to actually be pursue it, I was certain that was my path until I got into visual arts. Not knowing how to play any instruments, and my inability to rap, lead me to the fact that I do posses a great ear for good music. Countless times I've been able to hear a band, rapper, or group and just known that the music they make, will make the charts. Hence the whole reason for starting this blog in the first place. I had the idea I would write about musical groups or acts in the San Antonio area but quickly learned I was interested in a lot more forms of art than just music. So now I write about all the arts I come across, or that comes across me. Today however, I'm sticking to the roots. Today, it's about the music. Specifically about a local band called Heather Go Psycho. Recently they released their new music video for the song "Favorite Record". It's an awesomely shot video for an awesome song. definitely a band you would want to see live they always have shows around San Antonio and they are always packed so arrive early. Plus if you go you might see me there, so you could buy me a beer. Here's a link to the new video, watch closely, you just might know somebody in there.
After you check out that local talent I suggest you take a listen to Childish Gambino, his new album "Camp" is worth the purchase, but (unless you just trust me) fell free to take a listen on Spotify or a preview on iTunes before you fork over the cash at HogWild's. Once you do I'm sure you'll be running to the record shop on Main street. I heard him a few weeks ago on Letterman and immediately knew his record would gain popularity. He has a unique sound and it captivates a wide audience. Here's the video of where I first saw him and his group.
Thanks for keeping up with the blog, I know it's been a while since I've posted but with the holidays, working, getting new job, painting, and living life I've been somewhat neglectful of my OverHeard supporters. I'll try to get better and more frequent with my posting. Thanks for the support.
