WHY SOME PEOPLE COMMUNICATE SO WEIRDLY | ASSHOLES & COWARDS

Q: Why do some people communicate so weirdly? Its like some people find it impossible to speak at face value.   For example, I made youtube videos that included clips from other movies I was discussing. I made a video for a movie but all the clips I used were low quality, low resolution, because that's what was available. I made a newer video about a movie that I was able to find higher quality clips for. I showed both videos to my (ex)girlfriend and she said "At least some people started using higher resolution clips." She was talking directly to me, and I even asked her what she thought, but she couldn't even say "Hey neat, you used better clips this time" or "this video has better clips."

Review: Made of Matches is a brand new album from The House United. The band officially hails from Nashville, TN, but it's members come from all over the USA, Alaska to Maryland. Including a female vocalist from Slovakia.

"You could be my Alice... and I'll show you wonderland tonight"
sings Carmel P. Buckingham on the album's second track "Stay Alive." While Made of Matches fits into the pop-rock category as a whole, the album also succeeds in taking the listener through a few twists and turns which keep things interesting while still maintaining the same overall feel.

The album's title track "Made of Matches" is a dark & grisly tune with a bar-room rockabilly vibe while "Falling" features a hypnotic ska/reggae riff through it's verses. "Come Back Home" slows things down with a piano pop ballad while "Who Am I" is a soft, yet inspirational anthem to close things out with.

Our Score: 8.5/10 - A solid pop-rock album that varies in sound enough to stay interesting while still maintaining the overall feel. Clocking in at a healthy 53 minutes, The House United will give you your money's worth with Made of Matches!
