Luke Bryan Sings National Anthem At Tennessee Titans Game

Luke Bryan got a chance recently to sing the national anthem at a Tennessee Titans Game and he brought his camera’s along. He also got a chance to meet someone that everyone knows. Just as a hint he goes, “Ooooo!” I wonder if that will give it away.

Back in August, I know that I’ve been a bit slack, ACM Top New Male and Top New Artist Luke released his new album, tailgates & tanlines, through Capitol Nashville/EMI Records! tailgates & tanlines features 13 brand-new tracks, 8 of which were co-written by Luke, including the Top 10 and climbing single, "Country Girl (Shake It For Me)." Now I finally got a chance to listen to the album and there were a couple of songs that stuck out in my mind.

"Country Girl (Shake It For Me)," has an infectious chorus and backbeat, represents a step forward for Luke. Co-written by Luke and Dallas Davidson—the pair also penned "Rain Is A Good Thing"—"Country Girl (Shake It For Me)" sets the tone for, but doesn't define, tailgates & tanlines.

Another song that I really liked was,"Drunk On You," written by hit tunesmiths Rodney Clawson, Chris Tompkins and Josh Kear, is an intoxicating tale of young love that Luke calls "young and fun." We all know what young love can do to us…make us drunk…

And one last song that I liked was "Kiss Tomorrow Goodbye," is an up-tempo lets-make-love-one-more-time-even-though-we-know-we're-splitting-up song…which probably will be played many times in that context.

What does Luke have to say about the album?

"I'm really proud that I've got some meatier things on this album," Luke says of the balance between hell raisers and heart breakers. "Nothing is more frustrating to me than putting a song on an album and regret putting it on there. I'm excited that there are no songs on tailgates & tanlines that I'm iffy about."

I know sometimes as an artist it’s easy to be safe. I’m glad that he’s pushing the envelope it’s always better that way.

You need to get the album right away, and then go visit his official site here, his Facebook page, his Twitter, his Myspace page and his YouTube channel.

Halloween With ‘Maniac’ Serial Killers Directed By Shia LaBeouf

It is Halloween today! I know that I’ll be spending it under my covers hiding and watching scary movies. Well, just as a treat I have a scary short for you. It was directed by Shia LaBeouf too. It stars Kid Cudi and Chris Palko. It’s about a camera crew that follows serial killers around documenting their exploits. The result? Something that people under 18 shouldn’t be watching.
