7-25-10 (Make Texas Green)
Sunday, July 25, 2010 by DowntroddenInDC
Stopping in quickly. Starting to really get into my new job and I really like Houston. It's nothing like DC, which can be good. A few ways we have gone about making Texas just a little bit more green; -We haven't been able to recycle for the last two months, we found a place right by our new place...

Just a quick post. It's been a busy week. Started the new job a few days ago. It's been exciting and I'm learning a lot. We moved in fully last week, I started work Wednesday and then I bought a new car Friday. Saturday we showed the in-laws our new place and then Sunday I unpacked all day. Looks like the misses will be in Lubbock for a few days this week, so I'll have some down time to get some more stuff done around the house (the way I want to get it done...

So I've been in Houston just under 2 months and I went on a few interviews like I had mentioned in a previous post. Well, I was offered a position with the Houston Press! And I have to say I am extremely excited about the position and the company. I started Wednesday (yesterday) and I am a retail staff accountant, which will continue to expand my skill set...

Man, I thought being unemployed I would have all sorts of time to keep this updated. However, any moment I am awake I am either applying for jobs or feeling guilty that I am not applying for jobs. I've literally applied to 500+ positions and to make matters more depressing, my girlfriend got a teaching position in a little less than three weeks being down here...

So we were just in Austin on Wednesday and Thursday for a career fair for my girlfriend. And it got me thinking about Austin's live music scene. While we were there I looked into a show and saw that Mumford & Sons was playing...

So I've been applying for jobs like crazy and of course have iTunes on shuffle and I've discovered quite a few gems I had forgotten about. So I'm going to make a small list of some of the tunes form summer's past!

So an incredible CD just came out and best of all, it's free! Major Lazer (Diplo and Switch) working with La Roux's title album and has been totally redone into a reggae-tone dance-hall album that is called Lazerproof...

I've been super busy with the move and such. I will have to update the blog once we're settled in Houston, which we leave 5-23 for. Anyways, here's an older song that every time I hear makes me smile. Hope all is well!

So this marks our last week in Washington. We've been packing up, getting ready for a move to my parents for three weeks (to finish out our commitments at work) and then we're driving to Houston. I've been applying for jobs like crazy and it seems a lot of jobs are out there, especially in Austin...

OK, I thought I was up to date on this stuff, I guess not. I've see links to Soundcloud before and never paid much attention to it. I normally use Hype Machine to find and search for music. Well, aside from all the morons who like Kid Cudi and Kanye West, Hype Machine does it's job...

So I was looking at my logs of how people "discover" my blog and I had an odd relevation. It seemed a lot of people were coming to the site from yahoo image searches. Which is very odd, considering this is a MUSIC blog and there aren't that many images on the site...

It has been hot here in Washington. I'm moving to Houston in May and so I've been watching the weather down there. And three days in a row it's been hotter here, then in Houston. We hit a record on at least one of the days, for the hottest it's ever been on that day since recorded history. To make things more fun, aside from 90 degree heat in April, is our condo has not switched over to AC...

var dc_AdLinkColor = 'blue' ; var dc_PublisherID = 136269 ; Got a fun email from a nice girl named Lucia promoting the band "We Are Like the Spider". I listened to a few of the tracks and I have to say my favorite is "Lightning Garden"...

Quick list of tracks to get you moving Saturday! (A few of the tracks have french chicks in them, thus the photo [i.e. Soko and Yelle]) The Klaxons are incredible. This song is incredible. It has our first weird french chick, Soko...

Ok, so I'm going to post and write about Crystal Castles today. I don't think they get enough recognition. Whenever I hear their tracks I'm dancing, singing and throwing my arms in the air like a blacklady at pentecostal church...

Is anyone else really tired of Kid Cudi? I've posted this before, but it seems he's had his five minutes, and now he's just shitting all over everyone's ear with all of this new stuff. Some of the remixes out there are even worse...
