So its 5:51 am and while most are asleep I am plagued with the inability to do so. I typically have an issue with this and fall asleep a minimum of three hours after I intend to do so. I tend to lay in bed for hours thinking about something that in reality doesn’t require that much thought, but thats just how I am. Anxiety and over thinking are two things I just have to deal with, but whatever.

Anyways, I decided to post a few things I lurked tonight in my boredom while trying to fall asleep.

Today was Record Store Day all across the nation. Everyone at various labels and in various bands tried to help participate in some ways. We at Epitaph built an Indie Retail Finder for our Anti blog and website so kids can enter their zip code and find a store around them that carries Anti music. Above is a video from Paramore’s in store yesterday, I am still impressed by Hayley’s ability to interview. She has some very solid media training. You can watch more videos from Record Store Day here.

I am not sure if any of you know who William Tell is, but he is an ex member of Something Corporate. I believe he wrote a few of their popular songs over the years along with Andrew (but don’t quote me for sure on that). Anyways, I am a huge Something Corporate fan so I have been somewhat following Williams solo stuff. He never has seemed to get it off the ground (I am pretty sure he was on Columbia or something at one point but now it says he is unsigned). Anyways - he has a new demo up that I kinda dig, just typical pop music but what’s wrong with that?

Listen here.

Um ya well, if anyone else has something to pass my time send it along, I am always awake. Twitter, Myspace, Facebook and the like can only hold my attention for so long..
