The 11 Best Songs By William Fitzsimmons

 I'm getting a little sick of the new Facebook trend with everyone taking tests about what they really or where they really should be living.  I can pretty much give you the answer to every questionnaire you might take regarding what fictional character you are from any TV show, space movie, or book trilogy.  The answer...NONE of them.  You're none of them because they are all fake made up characters with unrealistic features.  You're not Harry Potter because he a wizard and wizards aren't real.  You're not Jennifer Aniston from Friends because she doesn't have a job and can afford a $4000 a month apartment in NYC.  You're not the 70s rock band Led zeppelin because they are a four person rock band and one of them is dead.  Stop trying to be someone else and just be proud of yourself.

You know who is proud of himself?  William Fitzsimmons.  He isn't trying to look trendy.  In fact, if anything, he's trying to look anything but.  Fitz is confident in himself and in his music.  He doesn't need to wear Dudley Do Right's hat or piss in a potted plant.  He just makes good, angelic, heart-felt music...and if that's not good enough for you...then he doesn't need you.

The 11 Best Songs By William Fitzsimmons

Today, Amazon unveiled its new "cloud."  An online storage space for all its customers to store all their Amazon-purchased media files on.  This gives you the ability to access your music from any location (home, work) or on the go (via your cell phone).  What's most surprising about this announcement isn't about how far technology has come...but the fact that no one thought of this so far.  In the era of streaming, instead of trying to pre-determine the content you think the user will want...why not let them choose it (and pay for it) themselves.  I always wonder if the people who run the music industry actually listen to music themselves.

This week will be a bit of a catch-up week (not to be confused with ketchup week which is in May).  I could do lists for Unwritten Law, Sum 41, or Whitesnake.  But would you really rather see a bunch of lists for bands you don't listen to or care about anymore...or would you like me to turn you onto some new music.  Of course, that Whitesnake list is certainly tempting.  If you haven't heard William Fitzsimmons lately, he looks like he belongs in the freak folk crowd...but his sound leaves most of the freak at the door.  Good basic folk music to mellow out to.  His fourth album is out this week.  Enjoy.
