Black Gold

I wanna spend a little time posting about Black Gold. No not oil, the band. I'd thought that since I used my awesome blog power (not so much) to promote another of my favorite bands (VersaEmerge-go see them at warped tour! I am) I could do that for some other groups. I decided on Black Gold because I was listening to them today.

Black Gold is a group that consists of Eric Ronnick and Than Somethingorother (I feel bad I don't know his last name but my search online to find it didn't work). Anywho, they released their first album in February and it is amazing.

I decided to get onto their myspace and listen because Eric is the keyboard player for Panic at the Disco on tours, most of the time, you know unless he's touring himself . Anyway I'm glad that I did, listen to them that is. The first song I heard was "Plans and Reveries" featuring Brendon Urie (he seems to be everywhere doesn't he?) and it sent chills down my spine it was so good.

The songs on the album are so diverse and yet they work so well together as a whole. Some of the songs even take me back to the good old Disco days, not like I was alive then, but still.

I could sing their songs all day and the next day and the next day and the next day. They are so catchy but not in a bad way at all. (I tend to think that if songs are too catchy, then they lose a bunch of meaning that should be there).

Also before I finish off my post I want to say something else about Michael Jackson. Yeah he was creepy looking and the end of his life was sort of odd etc. but he was incredibly inspirational and it is a big loss to the world.

And last but NOT least, Good bye to Farrah Fawcett. Even though her death was sort of expected, your life and acheivements should not be overshadowed by another, unexpected death.
