Spin Hot Pursuit - Bye Week

"Beware of the quiet ones... we're always thinking." - Brian Serra. -------- Even if you've never met him in real-life, you already know who he is. He's the guy who was too weird for the normal crowd and too normal for the weird crowd. He's the guy who has had his heart broken by the girl of his dreams one too many times. He's the soft-spoken misfit who has waited on the world with quiet reserve, patiently waiting for his voice to be heard. His name is Brian Serra. Instead of going out on a Saturday night, you'll find him isolated in a room which houses his home studio setup, blissfully strumming away on a chipped second-hand acoustic guitar that he's owned since his freshman year of high school. It was during those formative years that Brian was given a guitar by an aunt who was about to emigrate to Japan. He quickly took interest to it and began taking lessons at a local music shop. Foregoing any standard lesson, he persuaded his guitar teacher to show him how to play his favorite Green Day and Nirvana songs by ear. Learning to read notes bored Brian, but he felt a profound sense of joy and connection from listening to a song and being able to play along with it a short time after. When he was good enough to play basic chords and structures, Brian was recruited by a local church to play rhythm guitar during their services. Ironically, it was during this time that he developed a liking to legendary punk icons Bad Religion. Meanwhile, his classmates and cousins were constantly listening to hip hop and r&b. This exposure and willingness to listen to different types of music would become evident in Brian's songwriting. Along with his brother James, Brian formed Face Time Police, an unabashedly diverse project which, much like Brian himself, blurs the line between the conventional and the unusual. When your influences vary in range from Avril Lavigne to Bone Thugs N Harmony to White Zombie and everything inbetween, it's the perfect outlet. Armed with his penchant for catchy melodies, solid structures, and honest songwriting, this quiet misfit is finally raising his voice.

    Today's Spotlight / salute, brought to you by LSD: (PLEASE READ ALL OF IT. IT'S ABOUT YOU)
    Wow. I just woke up from only about a couple hours of sleep, and I don't mainline speed anymore, so please excuse my lame wording. Okay, first off I wanna say that you all know that since we are in the dark at the moment, that I 100% share your feelings in multiple "genres", if you will. Be strong, and know that although this was an absolute grueling competition, and that most of us worked very hard, that our work HAS NOT BEEN IN VAIN. We have all been heard by more people in far away places, that we could have ever hoped for. PLUS (big plus) obviously THIS WILL NOT BE THE LAST COMPETITION here at MN. Lots, lots, LOTS more to come. We also learned soooo much about ourselves and eachother. The collaboration potential is amazing as well. All in all...............FREE PROMO BABY!!! Ahhhhhhhh, but now comes the absolute most important part of this comment. You ready? Here it comes..................... LSD's spotlight salutes (A very VERY special one): If you notice below, there are no links, nor are there names. If you also will notice, you as well as I, in an unselfish quest to explore new artists, probably haven't heard your own music in a while. Or not in depth anyway. In this, it is very EASY to forget what you think about YOURSELF, how you feel about your music, and how great you are, along with your absolute endless potential. Especially after hearing some of there fucking geniuses here at MN. So, the music I want you to focus on today, and the music I am saluting is very simple, and you won't have to go far to hear it either. Put on headphones, and as loud as you can, listen to yourselves! This is the music that I mostly recommend for you to hear! It is also the music that I can guarantee you'll find to be just what you're looking for. Feel it just like the day you wrote it. The emotions of love, anger, joy, dedication, the person you wrote it for or about, etc, etc, etc....... as the magic of these songs are the ENDLESSNESS of them. That's my word for today. Thank you for EVERYTHING ladies and gents. The "Nation" loves you!!! Aaron A'bellira / Love Sex n Death Post script: If that isn't enough, some hardcore porn will do the trick! lmao!
