Music? I'll GIVE you your FUCKING music!!!

in only the most polite way possible ;-).

Here's a listing of songs that you should listen to:

1) Dear and the Headlights - Grace: This song is pretty intense, and it has a nice rhythm to it, as well as a nice buildup and send off. They're playing at Lollapalooza, and I had a sticky note on my computer at work since February to check them out - My friend Ryan finally came to the rescue.

2) Maritime - Tearing up the Oxygen: BY FAR, my favorite jam on this record. It's high energy, but soothing and inviting at the same time. This band is making its way into my favorites rather quickly.

3) Minus the Bear - Ice Monster: This song is a bit weird at first, but the lyrics are interesting, and the end has a nice build to it - forceful, yet intricate and accurate. Good times.

4) Muse - Starlight: This band has grown on me. Am I diehard? no - but I'll see them at Lollapalooza, and from what I hear, they put on a fantastic live show.

5) The National - Squalor Victoria: This song is so... odd. Ummm, i want to film a video of like, a pastor or local politician winning some form of election - and I want to lace the video with scandalous things, like drug use and pornography and adultery. I dunno - it just has that perfect creepy feeling to it.

6) Oh My God - Get Out To Sea: I didn't like this song much at first, but it grew on me. Now, I love it - It's fun and dark and punk and pop - it's a smattering of sounds that's fun to workout to.

7) Smashing Pumpkins - United States: Now, Billy has snubbed chicago - so I'm mad at him. This new album is - well, strong, but it's no smashing pumpkins album. I want things back to the sensitive n'er-do-well stylings of before. However, this song is an all out rock anthem, the drumming is flawless, the forceful guitars are riot-inducing... It makes me wonder if this is the song the drummer claimed "would burn the lies right off the face of the non-believers." Indeed...

So there you have it... 7 songs that you should listen to. They're good, and you should like them. Cause they're good.

I'm bored. I'm gonna get outta here.
