What's Gone Is Gone

So how often would you say that you stumble across a CD that clearly hasn't seen the light of day in months or even years. Someone recommended an artist to you, you downloaded a bunch of songs by them, and they were forever lost amongst the endless list of artists that is your ipod. Well as you might have guessed by now it happens to me all the time, and sometimes finding these old albums is more rewarding the second time around.

Probably pretty close to two years ago I was at a Rocket Summer concert finding myself surrounded by swarms of underage enthusiasts and the small group of friends who I had gone to the show with. As you could imagine, the show was filled with ""that" kind of music. But, one opening act stood out in my mind after their performance, that artist was singer/songwriter Adam Richman from Allentown, PA. Now don't get your hopes too high. Adam is your pretty typical singer/songwriter that would perform for a crowd of such an age group. His lyrics are pretty simple and at times outright cheesy, but I still found it pretty enjoyable. I talked to him for a little after the show to find out more about him and was pleased to find out he was a really cool guy. He let me know that his entire full length "Patience and Science" (which had just been released) was recorded in his parents basement and that he played every instrument on the album. A pretty impressive accomplishment given the quality of the record. Anyways, long story short, I bought two of his CDs, one for myself and one for a friend, figuring the conversation that we held was worth me spending a small sum of money in support of him. Well I listened to this cd again today and I must say, damn catchy. Here's a video of what I guess is his single titled "The Loneliness Song", I told you it was cheesy but the song is good and the video is pretty awesome too. Enjoy.
