I Am Optimus Prime

I loved the cartoon and the toys when I was a child.
I’ve been a fan of Michael Bay films since his first.
I saw the last movie 3 times in 1 week.
And I can’t wait to see this new one with my brother tonight back home in PA.

Gasoline Heart “Cucumber Riot” – Another FREE album. This time it’s a mix of songs from the Mono Vs Stereo album I A&R’d and released in 2006, some b-sides, and songs from their upcoming new album on P Is For Panda. Do yourself a favor and go download this taste of what I promise will be your new favorite band.
New Belgium “Skinny Dip” – My new favorite summer brew.
Classic Albums: Fleetwood Mac “Rumors” – I loved this. Can you believe they knowingly cut the song “Silver Springs” from the album? It wasn’t until the 2004 reissue CD that the song was added.
ESPN Score Center – About time ESPN launches a scores app!
Michael Bay’s blog – I’m a fan. And I can’t wait for his newest film.
House of Heroes Meets the Beatles
Posted by Brad Moist | Filed under Uncategorized
Not many bands can pull off covers of Beatles songs. Only Bono’s versions on the “Across the Universe” soundtrack and almost all the songs covered on the “I Am Sam” soundtrack have excited me. So I am proud to say that one of the other few that I feel can is a band I A&R at Gotee Records called House of Heroes. These guys are true fans, not scene kids who only wear “Let It Be” t-shirts saying their fans. Their producer, Mark Lee Townsend, even helms a Beatles cover band called SixtyFour. And not only was the bands producer a Beatles fan/historian but the band themselves pull off a sound that pays homage to the Fab Four on all levels especially vocally. Even their song selection (”Can’t Buy Me Love”, “It Won’t Be Long” and “Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da”) show the band picked the perfect songs for who they are but also leaves their fans wanting more. So do yourself a favor and pick up this digital only 3 song EP release at iTunes for $1.99 or AmazonMP3.com for $1.89. The only disappointment will be you’ll be left wanting more…I promise!
PS – A big thanks to Jeremy from ThisIsHeroic.com for providing a classic design that also pays homage.

Friday Faves: Maui
Posted by Brad Moist | Filed under Friday Faves
Friday Faves, Maui style!
Haleakala National Park: I got to watch the sunrise at 10,250 feet above sea level from the summit of this volcano crater. It was breath taking despite the nearly freezing temperature.
Maui Brewing Company “Bikini Blonde Lager”: I LOVED this lager. Available only in cans and with a slogan that read “What the sailors really come to shore for…” how could I not love this beer?
Pacific Whale Foundation “Sunset Cocktail Cruise”: A fancy booze cruise but you can’t beat a trip up the coast of Maui at sunset with a Mai Tai or Blue Hawaiian in your hand and your own sweetness under your arm.
Hula Girl Cafe: The best fish taco I have ever had.
Grandma’s Maui Coffee House: The best hole in the wall off the beaten path environment for a cup of Maui brewed coffee.
Other faves included Maui Style “Maui Onion” Potato Chips , Lava Java Coffee Roasters and Annie’s Island Shave Ice .
Pics from the trip coming soon.
