12 Talk back to yo' mama!
Anyway, moving on. No more teams, so the guys have their first individual challenge. Jesse, The Lovely Wife's favorite, wins the obstacle course just nudging it out at the end. You should have heard her squealing for him, cheering him on! "Go Jesse! Go!" Oh, I wanna kick his ass now! No no, he's a good guy...bastard. Moving on! In the individual round the winner has the option of fighting and choosing his fight or being the matchmaker. Jesse chooses to match Sergio, The Latin Snake, up against Ishe. Oh mama, good fight. It turns out to be an epic battle as Sergio proves once again that he's all heart and fast as his moniker. He wins unanimously. Ishe is out! Go be a whiney backstabber elsewhere. Sergio takes Alphonso on a golf trip with Sugar Ray Leonard and Sly as his reward for winning. This kid is so tough, all heart and fast as lightning. I'm picking him to win it all.
Next episode. Everyone is happy Ishe is out and their is really not much tension in the house. We move on the the challenge. A charriot race in which the boxers pull a loved one around the mile track at The Santa Anita Raceway. Joey could easily have won, but chooses to pull up and stop inches before the finish line allowing Peter to win the race. The winner of the race controls destiny as well wins a new Toyota 4-Runner. Everyone is baffled, questioning Joey's motives. Sergio is really bothered by it all. Anyway, Peter chooses to be a matchmaker as well and pairs up Alphonso and Ahmed. Ahmed jibbers and jabbers, but in the end gets the big beat down by Alphonso. He's out for the second time! There were a couple scary moments in the fight however where Alphonso seemed about to drop. Whether it was from pure exhaustion or good punches from Ahmed, it was hard to tell, probably a combo of both. Alphonso is a great fighter and is so motivated and focused, but his defense is suspect and his ability to take the big punch is also a little questionable. He's a warrior, win or lose.
I was met with some terrible news today. Michael Zimmerman of Heraclitus Sayz is no longer with us. Michael was the one who asked me to write reviews for HSayz. The quality of the content at HSayz is what attracted me to the notion of writing for HSayz immediately. We emailed often and he opened me up the Lo-Fi genre and made me a fan by sending me CD after CD. He was intelligent and witty; very funny and likable. He seemed to love music. I have only known him a short time and I will not pretend to know him best or even go so far as to say we were good friends, but I will say I respected his thoughts and feelings when it came to music. I was always excited when I received a package from him. He tried to bring people in to experience the Lo-Fi genre with great music, reviews and interviews. It is certainly a loss to the blog community as well as other communities, I'm sure.
The Merediths are Brian Haulter (drums), Jesse Lucas (bass), Joe Meredith (lead vocals, guitar), Jonathan York (keyboard, backing vocals) and Mark Bryant (guitar). Before they began playing live shows, the band had already spent considerable time in the studio developing a signature sound that caught the Louisville, KY music scene off-guard. With roots and influences ranging all the way back to the Beatles, they stay true to the craft of music while exploring a range of modern styles and genres.
Their 2004 self-titled debut emerged with a sound that fused influences like the early Police, the Buzzcocks, Elvis Costello and the southern power-pop of Big Star. Recorded in spring 2004 at Logan Street Studios in Louisville, the record was released in late summer and has received much regional success. They have also contributed songs to the last two Louisville is for Lovers compilations, which showcases some of the best acts the city has to offer.
