Xlack Download Revisited Revisited
Why has google favored me so poorly for my xlack download posts on supremetechs.com. It should be on the first page for the keyword search phrase of "xlack" or "xlack download" but it isn't. I can't find it actually. My site is actually the only place you can find the script to download. The number one site xlack.tk is a placeholder page now. It is totally irrelevant to the search now. Google, I'm sorry to say this to you, but you need to step up your game on the search indexing. Yahoo is, how we say, pwning you at the moment, and you are about to lose at least one faithful searcher.
Avett Brothers Show
I just returned home from an Avett Brothers show at the Tivoli Theater in Chattanooga. It was a good enough show. I'm not the biggest fan by any stretch. My father-in-law likes them and I went with him. I respect what they do, and I'm sure that given the time I would probably get into their music more. Currently, there's a few things that annoy me about them.
First, I'll say that the band has one of the best following I've ever seen. The entire theater was singing every word to every song. They aren't a huge band but thousands of people packed into the theater knew all their songs. I was amazed at this. That is the biggest "pro" I saw. The band is good to their fans and their fans are amazing.
Now on to some of the things I didn't like. I didn't like that the crowd loved certain lyrics and shouted them like they were supposed to be profound words. The lyrics seems to make no sense or were mediocre at best. I understand that it's a new age of music and these guys are pioneers but just when I thought music may turn for the better, it seems that these new bands don't make a lot of sense.
The Avett Brothers also strum their instruments insanely. Again, I understand why the crowd would like it, but as a musician myself I find it to be just for show. They broke like five strings in the first hour from STRUMMING. Strings shouldn't break from strumming. They break from powerful bends like from say STEVIE RAY VAUGHAN. The more they beat/strummed the more the crowd cheered.
Finally, one other thing about the crowd that I found weird. There were girls everywhere. Some were with guys, but the majority of them were in groups of just girls. They were dancing and singing. Then there were groups of guys, dancing and singing. The guys were dancing with each other and it's like no one was straight. I was wondering if maybe the band had a huge gay following or something. One dude was pretty drunk and was singing very loudly. I couldn't hear the professional singers due to it actually. This guy jumps down two rows where an actual couple (male and female) are. He starts playing patty-cake with the dude and the girl is in between them.

Xlack Download
For some reason, Google de-indexed my main blog or something. At any rate, I had something rather useful on it, the only download link for the xlack xchat sysinfo script available on the internet. I think it's a bit ridiculous that Supremetechs isn't getting a better page rank though. It gets decent traffic and has many informative posts.
