Greatest Gift of All Time
by Disco Stu on May.29, 2009, under Whatever
So I was on my way home from work tonight and a song came on my Zune. Yes, I am one of the three people in the whole world who owns a fucking Zune. Get over it. Anyway, this song came on and I instantly got the chills. You ever have that moment when a song takes you so back to where you were at the time and you have to relive the moment? Of course you do, it happens to all of us.
My First Album
by The Ty on Apr.16, 2009, under Music
One of the gadget blogs I follow, Gizmodo, has been doing what they call a “listening test” all week demonstrating their knowledge of the audiophile demographic. One article all of the posters and editor are doing is showing everyone their first musical tastes and first album they bought. So what better place to demonstrate my first musical woes a mere pup.

At the Checkout line…

I was at the local food market today. I was getting some ice cream and soda for a pizza dinner later on that night. While walking through the store finding what it is I need – I feel my heart slow down. I feel a little more eased into the moment which naturally makes me feel uneasy and agitated. They are playing some shlock easy listening R&B bullshit from the early 2000’s. This is all scientifically designed to make you feel at ease and walk the aisles more slowly. The longer you are at the store, the more likely it is you will buy more items. This is not the horror, the horror is what happened next. (continue reading…)
All Good Things…

It’s no secret to anybody that knows me that I like music. I like music a lot. I like different kinds of music. And yes, despite what I will tell you in a bar, there is some rap and country that I do like. I have gone through various stages as the years have past. I have always been into rock, but I went through a metal phase, when I was in college I went through (obviously) a college music stage. Most recently my music of choice has been punk music. With the recent final show of Even In Blackouts (arguably the coolest experience of my life) I am reminded of the band that really got me into punk music who are no longer with us (as a band anyway). This band was called Eight Ball Grifter. (continue reading…)
What I Can’t Convey in Words

I was searching around the internet for I just could not convey the feelings I had by just words for my dear old friend. So I think this encapsulates it perfectly.
Last Date of EiB

It was a new sort of idea. An ensemble punk group working with nothing but acoustic instruments so that ‘they could still play even in a blackout.’ The band started with Jughead Pierson, lead guitarist from the long-term pop-punk band Screeching Weasel. After the demise of the iconic band, Jughead went to relax in Italy where he wrote the song “Missing Manifesto”. He then brought the song back to Chicago to form the first all acoustic punk band in existence. There he recruited Liz Eldrege for vocals along with other younger artists to fill his cast.

I truly love my sweet prescious girl. That is all I have to say tonight as I fall to sleep. Goodnight all.

Welcome to Axiom, the new website for understandable facts from our point of view. The title of the article refers to the first article I ever wrote for my high school paper where I wrote about the emerging popularity of alternative music in the days of Woodstock II. We are trying to tap back into that stream to open ourselves up to what is new and good in today’s entertainment. In the coming weeks we will be starting up our blog reel with what we care about most, and if you care, go on and subscribe to us too. It’s hard to tell where we will be starting so come on back to see where we have gone.
