Definitely one of my favorite Slipknot songs. ❤
Slipknot — “The Nameless,” from the album Vol. 3: (The Subliminal Verses) (2004).
Song of the Week: “Country Band Man”
I saw this band for the first time on Saturday and it was instantaneous love! They put on a great show. Even more importantly, they are extremely talented musicians. I could be biased because they hail from the South–ha!–but seriously, y’all should listen to this song, love it (because you will), then go stalk their YouTube channel for more! 🙂
Framing the Red — “Country Band Man,” from the album Welcome to the Show (2012).

These Self-Proclaimed Princes
Last Thursday, I went to see Almost Kings in Madison. Insert everything I’ve ever said about them into this post and you will be able to almost imagine how epic my night was.
I will never get over this band. I’m impressed by the fact that these four men give 200% at every show, both on and off the stage. They are the kindest, most wonderful and talented people, and I hope they know how much happiness they have brought to my life. Seriously, I can’t say it enough: if you ever have a chance to see them, take it! You won’t regret it!

Song of the Week: “Falls Apart”
Hurt — “Falls Apart,” from the album Volume One (2006).
Song of the Week: “Bounce”
Since I’m going to see them tomorrow, I decided to honor Almost Kings in this post. Although, actually, I don’t need an excuse to honor them…I love them so much that their songs are pretty much always a top pick ❤
Almost Kings — “Bounce,” from the album Filthy Nice (2009).
Song of the Week: “They Say Vision”
If you don’t know this song, I’m not surprised. It was the only single from Res that ever got any notice–and even then, the attention came from VH1 and virtually no one else. Still, I thought it was a fantastic song. My mom and I used to listen to it every day before I went to school.
Res — “They Say Vision,” from the album How I Do (2001).
One of my favorite covers
My friend Tiffany introduced me to this band with this video roughly a decade ago. I think they did justice to Billy Idol: they managed to add their style without altering the song too much. I still rock out to this on a regular basis. \m/
Snow!
Okay, it may not look like much to you, but to us in Alabama, six to eight inches is like the Snowpocalypse. It started around 1:30 p.m. and didn’t stop until after midnight. What made it really fun was the fact that the next day, the temperature rose to 41 degrees and everything started melting…then the temperature dropped into the 20s and all that crap froze.
But wait!
By the end of the weekend, the high will possibly be in the upper 50s, maybe even 60. Gotta love Alabama weather.

Song of the Week: “Tourniquet”
So after hearing that Marilyn Manson is coming to town in April, I just had to honor them in a Song of the Week post. I have been waiting 15 years to see this band; needless to say, I am practically dying from excitement!
This has always been one of my favorites from them. In fact, I’m fairly positive this was the first song I fell in love with…even before “The Beautiful People.” ❤
