From the Brian Thomas Cancer Beat-Down website: "Brian Thomas ran from West Palm Beach, FL to Lake Orion, MI to raise awareness and funds for colon cancer. Brian has been a runner all his life and became an educator to influence the lives of children. He has run ten marathons, two ultra marathons, ran from MI to FL in 2002 to raise funds for a private school for children with Cerebral Palsy and autism, and has run the Keys100 with Brandon Mercado and Ramiro Melendez in 2009 and 2011. He was asked to mentor and train these two young men. He committed himself to that task for more than four years, upon their year long requests, training them to run across the country. Brian has been a teacher for the last ten years. The last six have been at Okeeheelee Middle School. He is one of the founders of a boys mentoring program, The Bridge. He has also been the boys track and field coach. Brian is a recent recipient of the Dwyer Award, an award recognizing teachers in Palm Beach County that dedicate their time and energy outside of the class room. Brian has taken that dedication to the fullest with all he has done for others. Brian has recently been diagnosed with Metastatic Malignant Melanoma and is now fighting this battle, after years of helping others fight their battles." http://www.warriorbtcancerbeatdown.com/ The track list is as follows: I Stand Alone - Trig Morena Bella - Evan Rhodes Searching for Your Face - Schux Famicom featuring: Jane Zabeth Tokyo Forever - Chechnyan Love Vernor Highway - Schux Famicom Warm Wind - Justin Stewart and the League of Golden Daggers Terror on the Beach - Grim and his Haunted Guitar Devil Girl - Graveside Manner Another Strange December - Sunday Afternoon Moon~Shines Right - The Deadly Hollows Meld - The Cadavertones Burn - Rebel Art Work: Andrew Hugelier A.J.

Listen! Fight!

10 years ago this Halloween night, five guys ( Joseph Montes, Ryan Winkler, Don Jordan, Jason Rapai, and myself) took the stage in a basement in East Lansing, which would lead to the birth of Journalist-core music. Press would be written, shows would be played, rivalries would be formed, and songs would be loved. Search Party burned out almost as fast as they lit up Lansing. “You’re killing rock ‘n roll” was the last words mumbled through a microphone by Don Jordan as Search Party’s final set was cut short. During the first quarter of ’04 Search Party recorded their 12 songs that they wrote in their short time in various basements, bedrooms, apartments, and bathrooms…and pretty much anywhere else they could. The album was mixed in the summer of 2004, but never to the satisfaction to the band. For the past three months I have been going over the raw tapes and seeing what I could get out of them to bring to the public, and fellow band members. What I give all of you today is Search Party’s debut and only album “Multivac is Back”. I am giving it to you for free, because I feel that the music, even after 10 years, still needs to be heard (just enter 0.00 for the price you wish to pay). So take the time, follow the link, and download the album today. Many of you probably have never heard these songs, and some of you might even have a favorite or two. I am humbled and pleased to bring you these songs as even ten years later they are close to my heart, so please enjoy.
