[Verse 1]

C/G             G

  It’s alright, to tell me

Am               F

  what you think, about me

C/G            G

  I won’t try, to argue

Am            F

  or hold it,  against you

C/G            G

  I know that, you’re leaving

Am              F

  you must have, your reasons

C/G           G

  The season, is calling

Am                   F

  and your pictures, are falling down

[Verse 2]

C/G               G

  The steps that, I retrace

Am             F

  the sad look, on your face

C/G           G

  The timing, and structure

Am             F

  did you hear, he fucked her?

C/G           G

  A day late, a buck short

Am            F

  I'm writing, the report

C/G          G

  On losing, and failing

Am            F

  when I move,  I'm flailing now

[Transition x2]

C/G     G       Am      F

[Chorus]

C/G                   G                         Am      F

I thought that I was dreaming when you said you love me

              C/G            

The start of nothing

                   G

I had no chance to prepare

                   Am      F

I couldn't see you coming

              C/G

The start of nothing new

         G

I could hate you now

Am                    F

It's quite alright to hate me now

C/G                    G

When we both know that deep down

                  Am           F

The feeling still deep down is good

[Verse 3]

C/G          G

  And maybe, I'll see you

Am           F

  at a movie, sneak preview

C/G               G

  You'll show up, and walk by

Am           F

  on the arm, of that guy

C/G               G

  And I'll smile, and you'll wave

Am              F

  we'll pretend, it's okay

C/G            G

  The charade, it won't last

Am               F

  when he's gone, I won't come back

[Chorus]

C/G                   G                         Am      F

I thought that I was dreaming when you said you love me

              C/G            

The start of nothing

                   G

I had no chance to prepare

                   Am      F

I couldn't see you coming

              C/G

The start of nothing new

         G

I could hate you now

Am                    F

It's quite alright to hate me now

C/G                    G

When we both know that deep down

                  Am           F

The feeling still deep down is good

[Outro x4]

C              G

Am             F

  Well I guess this is growing up

I’m a big ol’ broke boi! When I say I want to see a concert coming up, it rarely means I’m going. I’m lucky if I have more than $15 in my bank account on any given day. Concert tickets are low on my list of priorities, but they are definitely still on that list.

This page will be constantly updated with tickets I have actually bought. That is a true artist endorsement from me because that means I gave up about a week of meals to see these people live.

City of Cumming Music Festival

On July 27th, 37 Main presents Cumming’s 2nd annual festival at Cumming Fairground. Full disclosure, my mama bought these tickets for me because she wanted to go so bad. It’s a night of cover bands, and it’s also a benefit for Family Haven. Some tribute bands include Bon Jovi, Nirvana and Chris Cornell. I hope we arrive late enough to miss the first performance, a Pearl Jam cover band. Pearl Jam blows. I’m tired of the world playing this cruel joke on me and pretending that they’re good, but I digress. I’m most excited to see Rumours, the Fleetwood Mac tribute. I’ve heard great things!

Use code “Steve” for 15% off your tickets.

Gus Dapperton

On Nov. 1st, Gus Dapperton is coming to Terminal West! He just dropped his debut album Where Polly People Go To Read back in April, and for the last year, he’s been touring in Europe. I’ve been waiting for him to come back to the States for so long that I bought my ticket right when they came on sale. Dapperton keeps knocking my socks off with bop after bop. He’s currently my favorite modern artist. I think once I see him on stage, I’m going to faint. It’s totally going to be worth it though. If you haven’t hear of Gus Dapperton yet, let me put you on right now. If you love bedroom pop muddled with new wave throwbacks, he is your man.

Recently, I was gifted a 75″ and 45″ by Billboard-charting producer Spencer Garn. At least, that’s how I like to say it. What really happened was that he came in for a podcast over at Loafing and brought merch. Chad Radford came into the room next door, asked me and the other intern if we had record players and gave us these fresh presses. Either way, I still thought it was pretty cool.

To be honest, I had no idea what to expect from this album. All I knew was that it came from Diamond Street Studios, a recording studio out in Little 5 that specializes in analog recordings, and it hadn’t been released yet.

I immediately opened my record player when I got home from work and popped it on.

The first track greeted me with soulful vocals from Adryon de Leon. The opener “How Many Lies, How Many Times” is one the only tracks on the album that isn’t an instrumental. It’s also my favorite off of this LP.

This album is definitely funk. The instrumentals verge on corny, sounding a bit like an Austin Powers soundtrack. However, there is something to be praised about Ian Newberry’s guitar playing throughout the album. It’s energetic and viciously powers through all 10 tracks.

Actually, all the players are quite impressive. I just wasn’t too big of a fan of the compositions themselves. Although, since it’s been under my needle this past week, I’ve flicked it on multiple times. Maybe it’s growing on me.

The sound quality of this LP is fantastic. You probably can’t tell from the YouTube video below since it’s now been heavily altered from being digitized, but the sound is crisp as hell. I haven’t heard something that vivid on my cheap lil’ player in a while.

Overall, I’d give this album a 6/10, but you reading this are a 10/10 if you choose to support Atlanta music.

You can be a cool music kid and pre-order this album from the Diamond Street Players’ bandcamp here. The album is due for release on August 2nd.
