(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 "First Time For Everything": I met a girl in Austin and we had one of the best first dates I'll ever have in my life (that, I am sure of). The relationship didn't last forever, but of course the memories always will. I went back to Austin a few weeks after we broke up and found myself in the places we began. I wrote this song as soon as I got back home from the trip. For anybody interested in seeing a
historical mark in musical history... the "place we met" is actually the Taco Bell on Guadalupe St. by the UT campus. Romantic indeed.
