It's ALIVE! and music download

Wow, I didn't realize how long its been since I last updated. I do have things I want to post but gotta wait for the damn pics first. I got your message [livejournal.com profile] nightambre thanx for checking up on me *lol* Didn't mean to make you worry. Plus I noticed that a good bit of recent entries are nothing but fandom related and didn't want to bore ppl by yapping so much about it. But I guess that would be better than my boring life.

The 4th was actually pretty lame. All week its been raining in sporadic spurts and of course it poured its ass off in the evening. Our town had a small parade and then they were going to have some festivities and fireworks. We checked it out and there really wasn't much to do since it seems most of it was focused for the kids. Plus every now and then it was sprinkling. We didn't feel like waiting in the long ass line for the lame ass free food so I told bubba that once we got back from Jack in the Crack to drop me off at the house. I just wasn't in the mood to sit out in damp muggy weather just to watch probably not even a half hr firework show. Bah humbug I say! :p

Here are some pics of the float that bubba and his "kids" made from our trailer. His "kids" meaning the Explorer program with the fire dept for kids/teens who want to learn the ways of being a firefighter. Bubba made the wooden sides and had the idea for the decorations, the kids did the rest:

GAH! 15 more days till the ole birthday. *hides from the age fairy*

Anyways, the main purpose of the entry was to post a music download since I haven't done that lately. I was inspired to search for their music after seeing the "Spill the wine" vid from Eric Burdon and War and made me realize I always had a taste for either Eric's voice or The Animals. So I found a decent album to share.

I never really got to hear much of The Animals music aside from the ones that I guess were popular on the radio back in the heyday. For you *cough* youngins who don't know anything about the band or this kind of music, they are of course a 60's band w/ some blues/soul into the songs (some of these on the album were remakes of old blues songs/singers). The more I think about it or even hear their music, I like them better than the Rolling Stones. Though I did like some older Stones songs but not by much.

If you're curious about the band, I found a wikipedia link of them here.

The Best of The Animals



Click the pic for the download. The zipped file is WINrar format since winzip was giving me problems. The pic for the cover is actually from the House of the Rising Sun vid.

Yes, House of The Rising Sun is also on this album.

Feel free to comment if you downloaded the album. I'm curious to hear from those that might be giving it a try for the first time and to those who I just made them feel nostalgic.


As mom always said, I was born in the wrong era. I blame her. *laughs*

S&O was the SHIZNIT!!!!! I recently read on the website that they can't release the dvds cause MTV still has the rights and some other shit they got screwed out on. I'm hoping that it clears up eventually, hell, I can't even find a torrent for the show AT ALL.

Don't forget, "It's cresent fresh!"

No probs about the Bleach link. I'll try to keep my eye open for more batches as they are released.

Heh. I was wondering what was going on with you. Those floats look sort of fun. ^_^

I've actually been active on other ppl's LJ's and elsewhere but just not mine. I was beginning to think that ppl might get tired of me babbling on about Bleach or fandom stuff in general (though the majority of it was alot of Bleach).

The float turned out pretty neat, thought it was pretty creative of hubby to create it (since he basically did most of the work).
