(antiMusic) This week we celebrate the DIY spirit of Brad Skistimas, better known as Five Times August, who not only turned down major label deals to stay indie but does everything on his own resulting in over 100,000 in sales at online digital stores like iTunes, placed nine songs from his album on television shows like MTV's "Laguna Beach," the CW's "One Tree Hill," etc. And he has become the very first unsigned artist to have a CD carried by retail giant Wal-Mart. This week we asked Brad to pick five of favorite songs from the "Independent" album and tell us a little bit about them.Here is Brad to tell us about "Do It Again": I'm a very bitter person at the end of a relationship. I get those "I hate you" feelings that I don't really mean, but simply put... no matter how any of my relationships end, I'd still do it again. I think most people would.
Even though we tend to say things we don't mean and manipulate the image of "greatness" we just had of that person into some kind of cold bitterness, in the back of our heads we're thinking "Man, that was great. I'm going to miss that."
