A Fierce Turd

        I honestly just felt like typing a lot of things that no one will read. This blog will mainly be used for documenting things going on with Windley but I also won't be able to  resist the urge to write up a bunch of other crap. Anyways, the plan is to record soon. Several songs have been completely written while some are still missing key parts like... lyrics and endings. Sometimes I fair well with forcing the completion of a song but that's obviously not a healthy habit for anyone trying to write songs... unless you're a genius... which none of us are. I'm pretty satisfied with how these songs have fleshed out with the majority of them being made nearly three years ago and usually I'm the one who goes from being excited about a new tune to quickly thinking that a huge mistake has been created. A more specific part of the plan is to record this batch of songs ourselves in a storage unit. We're still preparing for that step and hopefully the headaches of that process will be kept to a somewhat minimum. Here's a MS painting of our storage unit setup: 

        As you can see Andrew's guitar is green, Devin's bass is red, Conor has a drum set, and Garrett usually stands in the hallway. I wasn't able to fit all of Devin's pedals into the painting, but I assure you he has many. Considers himself a "tone connoisseur'. His words not mine. Andrew has a modest pedalboard because his tone comes from whatever he had for lunch that day. Conor has a drum set.  Well... that's all for now.

The Devin Tour Diary 2023

 I spent the majority of the month of November on tour playing bass with Tourneforte. I had a great time and I’m going to recap it to the best of my ability on here. In true Windleyhub fashion, I am not proofreading this.  Day One: Camp Transylvania, Greenville SC  We kicked off the tour in Greenville SC at the third annual Camp Transylvania. This was the third and final day of the fest. We played right after our friends in the North Carolina band Condado, who are super tight and entertaining. We took the stage at 5PM. I usually remember to take my hat and glasses off when I perform since I move around a lot. I forgot to on this occasion, and my glasses flew off my face onto the stage where I at some point stepped on them. After the set, I helped load out gear and had Andrew pick me up to meet with our good friends Justin and Meleah at a Halloween party their friends were having. We got to meet some cool people all in various degrees of corpsepaint, including the legendar...

Top 50 Greatest Things: #32

My top 50 greatest things. Number 32: Sam and Max Another one of my favorite video game genres is the point and click adventure game. However, this entry's origins are in comic books. Sam and Max! An anthropomorphic dog and rabbit who are officers of the Freelance Police. They were created by Dave and further developed by his older brother Steve Purcell. Steve Purcell basically adopted the characters (with his brother's permission) and started using them in their owncomic series that bounced around different publishers. When Purcell was hired by LucasArts he helped develop what would become Sam and Max: Hit the Road, the duo's first video game. That game in particular is where first I met these characters on the family's Gateway computer. The game is a hysterical parody of classic Americana that involves visiting the world's largest ball of twine, the celebrity vegetable museum, and bungee jumping off of Mount Rushmore. Over a decade later, Telltale would launch a t...

Garrett’s Squat Tunes Review #2- Kid Rock ft. Monster Truck “Don’t Tell Me How To Live”

Let’s face it. The past few years have been pretty lame.. AND pretty tame. In a time of censorship, sensitivity, and an overall lack of attitude, no genre has suffered more in my opinion than rock and roll. Who is the biggest rock and roll band of 2021? Greta Van Fleet? IMAGINE DRAGONS? Please. Give me real rock and roll. Well, when we needed him most, dawning his signature red satin jumpsuit, our Detroit born and raised, Devil without a cause savior Kid Rock, along with newcomers Monster Truck, pulled through for us with the most ROCKIN’ single of the year. “Don’t Tell Me How To Live”.  The song starts with a simple, yet high throttle guitar riff that really gets the juices flowing. Along with the hook sang by Mr. Monster Truck himself “Ain’t nooooooobody gonna tell me how to liiiiive!” Off to a great start. The song starts with a strong message to all the snowflakes; “Fuck all you hoes! Detroit 'til I die, motherfucker! Talkin' all that bullshit!” Let’s go. Lyrically, Rock is...
