Song of the Week: “Still F*cked Up”
Hey, look! Almost Kings did a thing! 🙂
Almost Kings — “Still F*cked Up,” from the album The Re-Introduction (2015).
More New Music!!!!!!!
I was hit with all kinds of good news last week. Almost Kings will be releasing their new album, The Re-Introduction, in mid-September. Then, one of my friends sent me this:
I’ve been eagerly awaiting more stuff from Lynam since listening to a few songs that David had on his phone back in, like, December or something. Needless to say, I am very very excited about the next two months!
Oh, and here’s the latest video from Almost Kings. The track is titled “Still Fucked Up.”
New Music from Almost Kings!
A few months ago, Almost Kings bassist Danny Helms let me listen to “Never Gonna Happen” on his phone. My interest was piqued immediately because it’s them but…different. It made me very excited for the upcoming album (and I will undoubtedly be posting a review the instant it hits my hands).
They have now released a video for the song. Please check it out and give them some feedback!
Happy Birthday to Me!
No, today is not my birthday. Monday was, but I wasn’t anywhere near a computer so I couldn’t blog about my absolutely amazing weekend!!!!!
Friday night, we went to see Jude Buckingham and Almost Kings. The performances were epic, as always, and Boze pulled me onstage during “Five Foot Hurricane.” Almost Kings did a few new songs (and premiered one over the club’s PA before their set) and let me just say that I already know I’m going to love the album. I didn’t get my usual post-show time with the guys because I had apparently partied a little too hard during…
Anyway, the following night, my friends threw me a little party at their house. We had breakfast for dinner–lemon poppy seed waffles, red velvet waffles, bacon, blackberry sauce, a tropical fruit compote, ham rolls, and a drink that consisted of watermelon and Malibu rum. My parents ate with us and stayed long enough to check out my gifts, then they went home and the rest of us watched lame horror movies until bedtime.
It was truly a fantastic weekend, filled with most of my favorite people, music, laughter, and love. I couldn’t have wished for a better celebration. 🙂

Throwback Thursday … Not a song this time, but memories
Next week, I am going to celebrate my birthday with Almost Kings. This is becoming a tradition. I have now spent three absolutely amazing birthdays with those four crazy and wonderful guys from Atlanta. I decided for my throwback post this week I would share photos from those nights–and a video that is simultaneously embarrassing and epic 🙂

So obsessed with this song…this entire album…this band and its members… 🙂

Just Pictures
I’m not a photographer by any means, but I do love my camera! I simply felt like sharing some things that make my life what it is…and a couple of random selfies.
Just playing around with makeup and hair extensions. 🙂

Things I Love [A Personal Blog]
Let me start off with this.
I love Jacob. So much. And these five…
I love the way Ryan Yunker [closest to the camera in the photo above] always likes my statuses on Facebook.
And the way we can talk about Avenged Sevenfold constantly.
I love the way Kevin Compton [third from the front in the same photo] told me I was one of his favorite people.
Speaking of the band, I love Almost Kings. That’s them with the broken down van. Ha!
I love this goofball.
I love Lynam. And Within Reason. And The Velcro Pygmies. And Rearview Ghost. And Shallow Side. And Super bob. And Avenged Sevenfold. And Alter Bridge. And Pink Floyd.
I love music, okay?
I love this girl.
And the fact that she sent me a text telling me to be careful and that she loved me one of the last times tornadoes came through Alabama.
I love riding in a car with her, windows down and music up!
I love Harry Potter.
I love books!
I love watching movies with my dad.
And cooking with my mom and my brother.
And hanging out with my best friend Tiffany and her husband and her adorable daughter.
And how cute my cat is when she cleans between her toes.
And dancing onstage.
And singing…
And Alabama football.
I love vegging out with my girls, eating junk food and mocking lame horror movies.
I love video games.
I could go on and on, but I’m going to stop here. Sometimes, I think it’s good to sit down and list the things you love and are thankful for, just to make sure they still outnumber the negatives in your life. Right now, I’d say I have a lot of reasons to be here. =)
