A week or two ago, my band’s guitarist Steve contacted me and said he was making stickers for our band, As Judgement Day Approaches, and he asked what link to put below or logo, so that people could find us. I immediately thought of just putting our Facebook link, but then we both agreed that we needed something a bit more professional. And that’s how asjudgementdayapproaches.com came to exist. I’m pretty damn proud of how it came out, so check it out.

It’s not for a client, it’s for my band. I can’t reveal too many details about it yet, because the grand opening for it is this Sunday. What I do want to show is a little sneak preview of it, much like what people do on dribbble (my dribbble account if anybody wants to invite me, hint hint).

It’s a list of band members in my band, with some custom icons I made. I figured, instead of just writing [nickname] – [name] – [instrument], I’d use an icon to indicate the instrument. I based it off the round social icon set, except using my own vector shapes for the instruments. Working at such a small size and still maintaining clarity was quite tricky, especially with the drumset. However, I’m pretty happy with how this came out.

This post is a list of sorts. A list of what I’m planning to buy in the coming month(s). I’m not including all the boring little stuff like Coca-Cola or food, I mean bigger purchases. Best of all, I can actually buy all of these nice things, thanks to my partnership with RMK Studios. So here’s the list.

As you all may or may not know, I’m in a full-time band, and it’s been pretty successful thus far, with about a dozen shows played in the last three months or so. I’m producing the demo which I hope to release by March (More on that later). The most exciting thing though, is the prospect of a two-week long summer tour on the East coast. It’d go from New York all the way down to Florida, which is pretty exciting. It’s been my dream to be in a touring band for years now, and it might actually come true this summer

Marking my return to blogging with pure flamebait… brilliant idea, eh? Anyways, The Beatles suck. They’re nothing musically amazing, and they’re way overrated. Their millions of fans raise them to an almost god-like level, when they don’t really deserve it. Now before somebody starts shouting “but they were innovative/brilliant/the first,” I’ll admit that yes, they were influential in both the formation of the look and sound of rock. However cavemen clapping their hands is what started all music in general, yet nobody really goes crazy over that.

Lester William Polsfuss, known by his stage name “Les Paul,” died today at the age of 94. He was the father of electric guitar, as well as an innovator in guitar playing. One of the most popular guitars in history, the Gibson Les Paul, was named after him.

RIP, Les Paul. Your jazzy riffs will not be forgotten.
