MUSIC NOTES
- I basically just listened to whatever Troy put on the CD player for the first couple weeks that we lived at the new apartment, and that was pretty much just the 4 CDs listed at the top of the list. For at least a week.
- "Born To Lose"
- Favorite "new finds" of the month: Recluse, The Sky Above And Earth Below, Fractalline, Badlands, Dream Caste, Gravespell, Snotrocket, Nomads, The Caution Children
- "Immoral, Inconvenient People..." .... "Rend" is such a good album
- "I never fit in anywhere, and now I don't I fit here. No hope, nothing to believe in."
- I had no idea Troy would like Big D & The Kids Table so damn much
- Protest The Hero fucking kicks ass; I can't believe the bassist left
- Fucking Wunami, goddamn
- Every time I listen to Stephen Steinbrink I'm blown away
- How did Hope get so thoroughly forgotten? They were badass
- "From The Depths Of Depression"
- Noisem KICKS ASS but when I saw them live I couldn't hear any of the solos
- After hearing "13-Point Program To Destroy America" I'm almost shocked at how blatantly Refused ripped it off on "The Shape Of Punk To Come"....it's just too obvious
- That was the first time I ever listened to Drive Like Jehu
- "Nutrition" is finished. Hit me up if you want a copy.
- HBH was by far the worst band I listened to last month. Maybe the worst of all 2014.
LIVE
8/7/14 - Crisis Arm/Pilgrims/Little Bear/(The Gravitys)/Obsolete Sun @ The Dial
8/15/14 - (Ian C. with special guest Troy Campbell)/Plastic City Pariah @ Che Cafe
8/29/14 - Dropdead/Full Of Hell/Noisem/The Coltranes/Badblood @ The Dial
LIVE NOTES
- On the 7th we played one of the best Gravitys sets we ever did and covered The Ramones perfectly before my good friends in Crisis Arm left for tour. On the 15th I played the worst set I have ever played in my entire life and then left my notebook at the venue. Alcohol is a hell of a drug...
- Dropdead is a quality live band. Extremely solid every time.

MOVIE NOTES
- That's like, way more movies than I normally watch in a single month
- Despite it being one of my mom and my brother Troy's favorite movies, that was the first time I had seen "It"....it's all about togetherness and being there for one another and facing your inner demons and I liked it.
- I had read some bad reviews beforehand but DAMN "Ride Along" sucks
- "Her" wasn't as tear-jerking as I had been led to believe but it was definitely the best movie I've seen in quite a long time
- "Pastor Shepherd" is a weird fucking movie, ESPECIALLY after reading about its background...I'm not entirely sure what angle this guy is going for to be honest.
- I am Christian Bale's character in "The Fighter" and Troy is Mark Wahlberg....It sucks
- I have watched "Beerfest" wayyyyy too many times
- "The Professional" is so much creepier than I remember
- Troy went to bed before "Stargate" was over and honestly I don't blame him
- "The Glass Castle" is a ridiculous, ridiculous movie
- Troy had never seen "Fight Club" before WTF
