Relevant Magazine & Chasen


Chasen-If you’ve been to a wedding anytime between 1998 and now, you’ve slow danced to one of Edwin McCain’s smash singles “I’ll Be” and “I Could Not Ask for More.” McCain (who still records and tours) helped develop and release fellow South Carolinian Chasen, who has released a strong set of acoustic driven worship/rock, which he honed on the road opening for the likes of Sister Hazel and Relient K. He’s already scored a hit on Christian radio (“Crazy Beautiful”) and proves himself a gifted songwriter and arranger throughout his 13 track debut.

The Prestige


What a great movie I have to say it took me 2 years to finally watch this movie. Now that I have it is one of the best movies I've seen. Compared to the illusionist this dominates. I say it's a must see. here's a little about the film.

The Prestige is a 2006 period film directed by Christopher Nolan, The story follows Robert Angier and Alfred Borden, rival stage magicians in fin de siècle London. Obsessed with creating the best stage illusion, they engage in competitive one-upmanship with tragic results.

The film features Christian Bale as Alfred Borden, Hugh Jackman as Robert Angier, and David Bowie as Nikola Tesla. It also stars Michael Caine, Scarlett Johansson, Piper Perabo, Andy Serkis, and Rebecca Hall. The film reunites Nolan with actors Bale and Caine from Batman Begins.


The film is split into three storylines, each resembling one of "the three stages of magic". First, there is the setup, or the "pledge," where the magician shows the audience something that appears ordinary but is probably not, making use of misdirection. Next is the performance, or the "turn," where the magician makes the ordinary act extraordinary. Lastly, there is the "prestige," where the effect of the illusion is produced. There are "twists and turns, where lives hang in the balance and you see something shocking you've never seen before

Until Next Time

4 Blogs N 1


(1.) Just getting used to having a son. A lot of times I walk down stares and look at my wife holding him and I'm like o yeah we have a son, thats mine. I really love that little boy, he's a keeper. :)

(2.) On a side note congrats to our fellow American idol winner David Cook. Just Kidding we really have no connection although I did know a lot of the contestants this year it was a little weird to see them. We met at either other singing competitions or shows. But the guys and I really wanted David Cook to win, and so it was he won. David Cook said it best "if you don't dream big whats the use of dreaming". Sad but true thats Silvers and mine ring tone, man thats bad.

(3)
Today Silver and I went and picked up our brand new trailer. It was much needed. We were out of room in our old trailer, so now we have plenty of room.

(4) Lastly we have started writing for our next record. As few of you know we have a lot of songs that did not make the record that fans love. We are just writing we're not in the studio with our producer yet just getting songs together. So you may hear songs that are not on the record in our live shows. We like to see how you react so we know if they are keepers or not. Well thats all for now. If I don't see ya, good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight

Pull The Sun Glasses Down & Look Sideways, Thats CSI.




I dont know about you but I watch a lot of TV shows and movies. Not as much as Silver but I watch my fare share of them, especially on tour. I was watching one of the great CSI episodes and I have to say that is the most ridiculous show I have ever seen. For some reason I cant stop watching though. If you don't know what I'm talking about let me explain. On one episode they found this camera built inside of a car and they hook it up to the back of this hummer, thats right a hummer with 22" rims. First of all this is what a police car should look like:
But on the episodes of CSI Miami this is their police cars:

They go to the back of this hummer and in the back there's this glass that comes down from the roof of the hummer. They plug in the camera that was found at the crime scene to the hummer by USB and then the glass that just came down becomes a video screen and they find the killer right there in front of them.
If we could only have the police hummer vehicles and those detectives they have we would never have to worry again about who did what to who. (Sarcasm!)

I still find my self watching those CSI Miamis, it's like a bad wreck, you know it's bad but you cant help but look. "Thats what we call a Crime Scene Investigation",

The Big Whammy!!!!


Ok, ok so here's where I am. Today my friend (Stevo) & I went to pick up a nice rocking chair from Babies-R-Us. All went good, we picked it up and put in a truck I borrowed from my other friend B-Holda. We tied it down with bungee cables so it was in there pretty good but I still felt something odd about the box. I drove off got on interstate 85 in Greenville SC. I was going around 50 or so. The speed limit is 65. I was just talking and WAM!!!!! Stevo says we lost it, hang on wait its... BAM!!! A transfer truck creams our brand new rocking chair into 1000 pieces. I quickly pull over try to get out and another truck barely misses my door. I run and stop traffic on 85 & pick up the chair with one hand and grab pieces with the other hand. I take the chair home to my wife almost in tears. Well we've been trying to get this chair for about a month and we finally found this one in-stock here, not no mo. It will be a while before they get another one. To end this big extravaganza I called Babies-R-Us and they are ordering another one for nothing. After we take it back of course. (Which I think thats funny because of all the pieces there are to take back)
Well we head to the hospital tomorrow afternoon and he will be here Thursday. Wish us luck, Pray for us and I will update you on more news with me and the guys from the band.
Until Then, Go Babies-R-Us

Anxiously.


This is a song I worked on yesterday while I was anxiously waiting on Emerson to be born. For more blogs vist the new Chasen website

Anxiously

There’s a blue room at mid night
And I find my self down by his bed side
Praying that I will be a good dad.

To hold my son or play with his toys.
To dress him up like he's a cowboy.
Oh what I'd do to have him right now

Long walks at night
Hundred calls from another line.

Anxiously waiting, it’s driving me crazy.
There’s gotta be somebody out there to
comprehend my
Anxiously waiting, rapidly fading
Into this moment in my life
Where I quickly change my world to better his


So tonight I’ve been wondering maybe if I
Could sing a little he would come
And make my day

And now it’s beyond my prayers, my dreams
To bring him home make a family and find what
I’ve been searching for

Clocks ring cause it’s time
It’s like I can hear him cry

Anxiously waiting, it’s driving me crazy.
There’s gotta be somebody out there to
comprehend my
Anxiously waiting, rapidly fading
Into this moment in my life
Where I quickly change my world to better his


Come Home baby (4x)

Anxiously waiting, it’s driving me crazy.
There’s gotta be somebody out there to
comprehend my
Anxiously waiting, rapidly fading
Into this moment in my life
Where I quickly change my world to better his

365 days of Christmas morning.

Ok I'm new at this whole DAD business but here's what I want to know. When will the little guy get here? We went to the hospital Thursday Morning around 5:30am and we thought we had a winner. But it was just not the right time. He needed to cook for just a little longer. So now my wife and are trying to find things to do to make the process move a little faster. Like walking 2 miles in 2.5 hrs, eating Mexican food. Either way I would rather him come when he is supposed to come verses us forcing him to get here. This whole process is like Christmas morning every morning. it might change once he's here but as now we are just enjoying these "Christmas mornings." Well I'll keep you all updated and thanks for reading my blogs.
U.N.T (until next time)
