Thanks Lizzy Spit

This post is from the fun side of the Force today.

Score #Spits 1 - Trolls 0.

Last night a troll decided to take a stroll through some public posts in the land of Google Plus from months ago. And in true troll fashion they took a moment to make a nasty comment. I didn't take the insult, as I find humor in how small and closed minded some people are and pity them. I made a brief, yet polite comment back and dropped the subject. Within minute, however, I was once again looking at sheer class and kindness offered in the form of the awesome +LIZZY SPIT. Within just a few short minutes, not only did she remove the trolls ugly comment, but actually took time to briefly message me that she had as well. Much thanks and love to Lizzy. #iamaspit #thanks #love

New Blog, Music, and Kudos

Hello kiddies, Crypt Keeper Burt is in!

Here's my first blog on Blogger. It only makes sense to start anew here since I use a lot of Google products. Sadly Opera isn't what it once was. So hello, hi, welcome, how you doin, nice to meet you, etc, etc, etc.

For my first blog here I'm going to tip my toe into the realm of something everyone loves, and nobody hates, MUSIC. No, that wasn't your dog howling, it was my weak attempt at singing. Yeah, I just sang MUSIC.

So I listen to a bit of this and that. I won't say I listen to everything, because lets face it, there's some music that people's individual tastes just don't cater to. One of the many forms I like is in nufolk. And one of the very few people that has really impressed me quickly is +LIZZY SPIT. This Aussie has staying power. Her sound reminds me of Suzanne Vega (Tom's Diner style) mixed with Aimee Mann (solo career) and the lungs of Stevie Nicks. The woman crawls through your eats, and pulls at emotions that leave you fulfilled when you get off the roller coaster she takes you through. And if that wasn't enough, she reaches out to her fans and actually interacts in way, that so few artists actually do today. She exercises a very personal touch that you only find with independent artist today such as Curt Yagi.

Up until recently there have only been three groups in the past decade that have really gotten to me. Psycothermia (formerly Canobliss), Curt Yagi & the People Standing Behind Me, and now I can happily insert some girl power in the form of Lizzy Spit. You're awesome Lizzy, keep up the great work.

So that's it for now kiddies. Go listen to +LIZZY SPIT pick some strings and hypnotize you with her voice.
