Do It To Julia. I Love When I Find Great Music By Chance.

So, you all remember when I said I would probably only post once for the rest of August? Yeah, I lied. And there’s a reason, I swear!

While I was on vacation, I was walking around the park in Oak Bluff at around 9:30. There’s some really gorgeous houses in that area and I really had nothing better to do but look at them. And on a porch, there was this big gathering of people and a boy playing guitar. Being the music connoisseur that I am, I stopped to listen.

The guy was BRILLIANT. Original music, great voice. Top notch. Just awesome Indie rock. Mellow, meaningful. Great. And also really drunk, which sort of explains the cover version of Dylan’s All Along the Watch Tower I was treated to.

Anyway, when it was about time for me to get home for the night, I walked up and asked him his name. The answer I got was “Hmm? Oh, my name’s Ryan.”
I stared blankly. First name wasn’t gonna help me out all that much.

“Oh! My name’s Ryan, the band’s name is Do It To Julia. You can find us on the web and stuff.”

“Thank Ryan. Have a good night everybody.” I smiled, waved, and got back in my car.

I know what you’re thinking. I was thinking it too. “Do It To Julia? What the fuck?”

And then I figured it out. It’s a reference to 1984. The brilliant novel by George Orwell? Well, if you haven’t read it, pick it up. (I’m a literary nerd as well as a music one.)

So basically this entire post is just me telling a vacation story and then telling you to check out this rad band I found walking around in Martha’s Vineyard. Their myspace is www.myspace.com/WeAreDoItToJulia

Enjoy kiddos.
