Rise Records & Of Mice & Men – The Flood!

digitalwinterr — Fri, 24 Jun 2011 05:34:06 +0000

Just read this on Indie Star (which is a awesome blog, http://www.indiestar.tv/) that the new Of Mice & Men album The Flood is the FASTEST selling album in Rise Records history! So stoked on that, these boys deserve it fully. Been a fan since their first release but kinda let it slide but had a good listen to The Flood and I fucking LOVE IT! Such a good album and so far is my album of the year, so anyone into this type of music should check it out and pick up a copy because its well worth the purchase.

One Dead, Dozens Hospitalized at 2011 Electric Daisy Carnival in Dallas

Click the main link below for the full overview.
Such a tragic thing that someone died but I think its becoming more and more popular to not be stacked up on drugs while listening to this music now. Never really got the point in it anyways, EDC has gotten a fair amount of flack from artists and people before, they definitely have alot of things that they need to tighten up on such as crowd numbers and capacities and control/flow of the people at the event etc but it was the attendees choice to get doped up and OD and unfortunately kill himself so theres more blame on him obviously. Promoters dont get enough recognition imo thats why I posted this article, they had all the safety measures in place to prevent stuff like this but it was just a insane amount of people and thats what lead to the early shut down of the event.

Long Time No Post….. 17.6.11

digitalwinterr — Fri, 17 Jun 2011 01:17:27 +0000

Well its safe to say that I haven’t given this blog any attention what so ever in awhile, so I thought it would be a good idea to give it a mass update on all things LIFE!

First up, last weekened was my second show for Black & Red Entertainment, it was at Zeal West, Henderson, Auckland and had a pretty decent turnout of 100 people in the main room, which based on the feedback I got from the bands that played was good vibes which is allways good to hear So currently in the works for another one up there in Sep/Oct, unsure on the details at the moment, will post more once I get it sussed.

Another big thing was that I moved back down to my hometown of Tauranga, mainly for two good reasons… Something pretty big came up in my family and id just like to be around family for awhile and the other is to safe money for uni next year in Auckland, so im only in Tauranga for around six months which I dont mine at all.

Music wise ive just been listening to the new releases of Skrillex, Foreign Beggars, Feed Me, Of Mice & Men and a few other random songs which are all killer releases by the way. I really REALLY love the new Of Mice & Men album, such a good step up from their old album and I really love the soft tracks and the fact that there is more singing on the album than the previous, just makes it alot more fresh sounding that the last release!

Last but not least ive got some video stuff that ive got to start editing together for my uni portfolio which submissions begin in September I think, so hopefully those turnout well and the people im doing it for dig it.

Ill start posting “interesting” things more often now and keep the blog more active with updates and cool things.

<3 Will.

Update 2/5/11

digitalwinterr — Mon, 02 May 2011 03:11:51 +0000

Just a quick update on things, had a good easter weekend, caught up with a few people I hadnt seen in awhile which is allways good.

Getting another B&R gig for June sorted atm and should have the promo page on Facebook up soon with print coming a little after, ill post details on that on the B&R blog and this blog when its all finalised.

Apart from that just abit work on the side and waiting for my new computer to arrive at my mates store so it can be built and setup so I can game, record and edit videos more effectively and finally just have a decent computer setup for once lol.

On a side note im watching a news flash on TV3 news that OSAMA BIN LADEN has been killed in a drone strike over Afgahnistan which is pretty crazy, wonder what my dad will think of the whole situation lol.

Anyways ill post a update when my computer has been completed and post pictures and when the next B&R gig is finished.

Chur, Will.

UFC 128 Main Card Picks

digitalwinterr — Sat, 19 Mar 2011 06:12:13 +0000

Lightweight bout: Jim Miller vs. Kamal Shalorus
Miller defeated Shalorus via TKO (punches) at 2:15 of round 3

Didnt know much about Shalorus but it was a decent fight, Miller taking a 3rd round KO win which is allways cool to see 3rd round KOs.

Heavyweight bout: Mirko Filipović vs. Brendan Schaub
Schaub defeated Filipović via TKO (punch) at 3:44 of round 3

Had to back Schaub after Cro-Cops last fight with Mir and the fact hes getting near the end of his career but it was a decent fight and Schaub scored a 3rd round KO which wouldnt be easy when your up against a MMA legend like Cro-Cop.

Middleweight bout: Nate Marquardt vs.Dan Miller
Marquardt defeated Miller via unanimous decision (30–27, 30–27, 30–27)

Was backing Marquardt simply because hes a beast, loved this fight, had some mean exchanges and went the full distance with Marquardt taking the win with a Unan decision.

Bantamweight bout: Urijah Faber vs. Eddie Wineland
Faber defeated Wineland by unanimous decision (29–28, 29–28, 29–28)

Backed the cali kid because he allways puts on a good fight, this fight was pretty good, both fighters are mentally fast with there strikes. Faber walking away with the unan decision in his UFC debut.

Light Heavyweight Championship bout: Maurício Rua (c) vs. Jon Jones
Jones defeated Rua by TKO (strikes) at 2:37 of round 3 to become the new UFC Light Heavyweight Champion.

Was backing Shogun to win but didnt think he would get owned that hard on the ground, Jones is crazy talented and will definitely hold onto the title for a long time, which the light heavy division doesnt see all that often. Jones > Evans.

Going to be hitting this live tomorrow.

13/3/11 – Update 1

digitalwinterr — Sat, 12 Mar 2011 21:21:27 +0000

Im going to start tagging my update posts with numbers now since it will be easier to track and what not.
So last time I posted ive just been trying to get some B&R stuff orginised, if these plans do come alive then it will be huge for me and the B&R name so hopefully something comes of it.

There has been a tour announcement in AUS in MAY which is called the Destroy Music Tour which is such a beastly lineup consisting of The Amity Affliction, I Killed The Prom Queen, Deez Nuts & Of Mice & Men. Im seriously thinking about heading over to one of the shows since ive allways been a big fan of IKTPQ and now that they have Jamie Hope as singer (picture below), im sure it would be a awesome show.

Destroy Music Link : http://www.destroyalllines.com/tours/52/destroy-music/

Also ive been thinking about study opitions for next year, I think at this point in time ill be going to AUT for a BCT, Bachelor In Creative Technologies and major in Moving Image since ive allways had an interest in editing and presenting video projects to people, so I think that would be awesome to do.

So until update #2, PEACE!
