The End of Finals

Okay Survivors great news from the land of Lyndon. My finals have officially been completed and I am now only waiting for the final grades to show up on my transcript. Let me tell you I think this was my most stressful semester yet and believe me I brought it right down to the wire on this one.

I had two presentations, 3 papers, and a portfolio all due this week and so far so good on the grading. Oh, and by the way one of those presentations was my Senior Thesis, which I'm going to brag about. I managed to impress my professor so much that he came right out and said I had a great presentation.. Yup, that happened.

But in all seriousness I want to know where the hell the semester went. I mean I just started my senior year and I'm already halfway through? I mean don;t get me wrong I am totally ready for the month long break but I'm starting to realize just how close graduation is.

I'll go into that freak out later but I just wanted to give you all an update and let you know I'm not going completely insane yet... Just most of the way there, now it's on to Christmas, which my lovely fiance Nick will be there for, and a month of work at Michael's. Oh and seriously if you want to catch up with me while I'm home give me a shout. I don't have too much planned yet.

Talk at you soon and Keep on surviving.

Study Break with Six Feet to Heaven.

Live performance of Six feet to Heaven's "Beefcake"

Slideshow set to Six Feet's "Black Rose"


Saturday, December 13, Lyndon State College held a Study Break for it's students. They asked campus bands and musicians to come perform for their community.
Lucky enough for me Six Feet to Heaven was one of those bands Which allowed me to follow up on my previous video of them in the studio. This time I got them Live and bring to you one of their most popular songs, Beefcake.

I also included a slideshow of pictures from their performance. These are set to another one of their songs called Black Rose. My personal favorite.

I talked to the guys after the show and found out they hope to start recording in the studio after break and from their hope to bring you a CD including both these songs and many more.

Practice with a Local Band

So this week I sat in on Six Feet to Heaven’s band practice, the song above is called “I’m not Lost at All” and is a regular in their set list.

Six Feet is a campus band that was started last year by a group of freshman with the same love of music and need to play that music. Though the band has changed some of its members this year it still has the same great songs and a few more surprises for its upcoming shows.

The Band consists of Lead singer- Asher Hill, Bassist- Nick Potter, Lead Guitarist – Dan Martin, Back up Guitarist- Zeb McCoy, and Drummer/ Backup Vocalist – Greg Plourde.

Though much goofing off does happen in practice they also get a lot done. While I sat in on their two hour allotted practice I watched them go through almost a whole set list and still have time to mess around and come up with a few surprises for their upcoming show.

After practice I talked to Nick about was it was like being a member of this band, to which he replied, “It often feels like I am babysitting a loving bunch of crocodiles with ADD, but since they have put up with me I have come to enjoy there crazy antics and have even started to initiate them. As soon as the music starts though, that’s what I love about them, our styles of playing mold together into whatever kind of song we are playing and we become not five different musicians but five goofballs who create one sound with all of our styles melding and making it ours.”

After you listen to their music you can’t even deny that their styles do meld to make some great music. I also asked Nick what was in the future for the band.

                “We are preparing for our show on December 4^th, here at the college. And we also have a show coming sometime in the next few weeks.”

So there you have it if you would like to see more from this band you can go out to their show on Thursday and see them live. If you can’t make it to the show you can also find their music on sound cloud, and find them on Facebook.  

As for me I’ll be at the show on Thursday and hope to see you there.
