THIS IS THE 100TH POST ON SOLID ROOTS!!! (just a sidenote)
Whooo!!! An hour long. I just couldn’t bring myself to cut out any more than I did. It was 1:30 unedited, so I cut out 1/3 of it. Okay, enough about you, onto the notes:
Apple.com and all their announcements: iPod, iPhone, iTunes, etc. (yes, I know the iPod and iTunes link are the same, but I’m a partial Type A…)
Sidenote: my iMac probably came out around 2000 but the “colored” line was first introduced circa 1998.
Fake Steve. We love you Fake Steve, thanks for the cash. Oh, and the iPods.

P.O.D.
Posted by Chris | Filed under Music
Payable on Death is one of the hardest working bands in the world. They tour for literally a year and a half straight. Then they spend a year in the studio, just to go back out for another year and a half to promote the album. “Testify” drops Jan. 24th. It’s said to be the best record, “the record of [their] lives.” That is precisely what they set out to do.
From what I understand (and have heard on their myspace page), their won’t be the songs of “The Fundamental Elements of Southtown.” Ever since “Satellite,” P.O.D. has been moving towards the more melodic style. More singing, less screaming. Which, to me, is interesting because Jason Truby (formerly of the heavy-metal Living Sacrifice) joined after “Satellite.” At first glimpse, Warriors thought that P.O.D. was headed back to it’s metal/rap-core roots. However, jazz and reggae has been more infused with the melodics of Jason’s guitar strings. That’s not to say Jason has lost touch with the metalhead inside. P.O.D. has always had a rift that drives them through the record.
I’m very excited and anxious to see what Sonny, Wuv, Traa and Jason have come up with. I’m anxious to hear the balance of rapping and singing, heavy and grooving, thumping and ambient.
