Im Not Crying There’s Just Overpriced College Education In My Eye

Hikes appreciation post One of my favorite bands of all time. Austin, Texas natives Hikes make beautifully exquisite and technical indie math rock with a dash of folk. Lyrically, their themes center mostly on nature and how it effects our every day life. Their newest EP 'Lilt' offers four new cuts that were recorded in Japan and engineered and mixed by founding guitarist of Toe Takaaki Mino. You can purchase their music from Bandcamp and iTunes respectively, and also purchase 'Lilt' on clear or random mix vinyl. You can also stream their entire discography on Spotify.

Daily Routine (9/25/17) - Strawberry Jam

If today could be defined by one thing, it would be music. I spent the majority of the day listening to Spotify while simultaneously catching up on homework. Also, I recently have been reacquainted with my beautiful guitar. I’ve been playing on and off now for the better part of 6 years, with many hiatuses in between. I haven’t play since at least over 6 months ago, but for the past 3 days now I have consistently been playing. 

I want to not only become proficient in guitar again, but also play live. I’ve only ever been in a band once and we only played live once, but that doesn’t deter me in slightest. Going to the house show last week and becoming more in touch with the local music scene have inspired me to find people to jam with and hopefully play live shows. It’s always been a dream of mine to be part of a successful band. I want to get started on it now. 

So today I changed her strings. The new high E string snapped when I was tightening the peg, which was quite the bitch because it was the last string for me to change. Luckily I had a few extra packets of strings, but now I have a packet without the high E string, which irritates my inner OCD. She now sounds wonderful -- like brand new. I always forget how great your guitar sounds whenever you change their strings. It really makes a difference. 

With my guitar re-stringed and me consistently practicing, I’m ready to start jamming with other people. I have actually met a few people who are already interested, they just have to free up their schedules. I also am in need of a drummer. If you live in the Richmond area and want to jam, just hit me up with a PM. I’m always looking for people to play music with (starting now).
