The notice of them following appeared from out of the blue: Who would name their band "The Nearly Deads"? Clicking on their picture in the list of followers switches to the Twitter page of a female-fronted, alternative rock band not unlike Paramore, who are not unlike Blondie, who are not like Gladys Knight & the Pips (Where was I getting at? Oh yeah, The Nearly Deads!)
One would question why The Nearly Deads would follow a baseball-loving, fashionable-claiming twenty-nine year old writer from Toronto. One clue could be the act of following Paramore for more than four months without getting arrested (Oh yeah, follow on Twitter; that's what I meant o_O). It's possible they followed because they want something? The followers/following ratio is almost 1:1, and there is a TND benefit concert on September 17th in Nashville (More information available on their MySpace and Facebook pages, if you click on the links).
There are many likeable things about The Nearly Deads, yet its the music that tops the list. It was such a list topper there is one more album of of theirs sold off iTunes. Plus, the band is up and coming, so to be part of a small fan base of a grassroots band is the new trend. Needless to say, TND will perk up anyone's day, and hopefully will bring some life back into one's weary bones ^_^ (Get it? Because The Nearly Dead bring life...into...no? Oh, okay.)
No, I'm not getting kickbacks from The Nearly Deads for fire-selling their band. They don't need me to do that ^_^ (Ceiling cracks open, gold bouillon and ingots fall on Phil, golden crown falls on his head, jewel-encrusted scepter falls in his hands, and giant "Thank You Phil" banner falls and drapes over his shoulder.)
o_O If only I had enough money to get the ceiling fixed? Food or shelter; the debate rages on...!
