Pete's Log: The Butterfly Effect: ThoseLightsWeCallStars
Entry #498, (Music)(posted when I was 22 years old.)
I've had the priviledge of seeing the Butterfly Effect live twice. Once in the Keenan basement, once at senior bar for the whole battle of the bands thing. Both times I enjoyed the performances. So on friday when I was at the Larry Augustin thing, I was sitting next to Ron Garcia, c++ dude extraordinaire, and bassist of the Butterfly Effect. So I don't know what caused me to think of it, but for some reason I remembered that I'd heard rumors that there was going to be a Butterfly Effect CD. So I asked Ron about it, and so today I purchased one from him. It's called "ThoseLightsWeCallStars" (or maybe there's spaces in there, I dunno). A very good deal: 8 dollars, 15 songs. So now I'm listening to it. They play a kind of pop punk. At least that's how I'd describe it. It's quite good. Kinda mellow, but that's not always a bad thing... Musically I really like it, and I can't imagine they had much of a recording budget, so I'm impressed. The lyrics are also quite good. And all the songs on the CD are original. So now not only have I supported a local band, I supported a fellow CS grad student. So everyone go buy one of these!
