Tell Us What To Listen To

Now is the most important moment in your life.

I added a new section to the blog. Because I suck at designing, it is pretty lame. But, the concept is out of this world amazing. You’ll notice at the top it says, “Contribute.” I’d love for people to head to that area and just drop a…

Coldplay Viva la Vida and Lost - Fantistico!

Viva La Vida:

[audio:vivalavida.mp3]

So, the aforementioned iTunes commercial inspired me to buy the new Coldplay single Viva La Vida.

It’s a bit new for Coldplay…I mean when have we heard a string’s based song from them? And church bells? But, it’s…

Coldplay Viva La Video iTunes Commercial

Dear Chris Martin:

I love your voice. I love your band. I want to throwup all over your new iTunes video. I address this to you, Chris, because everyone else looks pretty normal. I hate calling your art bad–because you’re a much better musician than me. But whoever convinced you to do that thing with your…

Oh Dear LORD This is so GOOD!! Jump, Little Children!

LISTEN. DO IT.

Big, hard thanks to Nick for exposing me to this band. Man, they are just really, really good! It’s just so sad when you come across a band that makes your life better, and then you find…

Coldplay Tickets are WAY Too Expensive

I saw Sigur Ros for $15.00 once. It was the best show of my life. Their tickets usually go for around $90.00, and I would probably pay that.

That’s the only band in the world I would pay that much money to see.

Coldplay is trying to sell me crappy…

Musicians On Call - A Musical NGO

I found this the other day…pretty cool stuff. I know that I regularly feel uplifted, encouraged, and strengthened by music; so this mission really resonates with me…

The Red Album (Guess Who…)

First, the Blue Album–which half changed my life.
Then, Pinkerton–which definitely changed my life.
Then, years later…the Green Album–which I liked…but no life changing.
Then, came Maladroit. Which kind of sucked.
Then, came Make Believe–which I’m pretty sure sucked bad.
Now, they bring you the Red Album–which, from the reviews so far, sucks pretty…

The Offspring

Dude…wow…

Remember when the Offspring rocked? Remember when you had to keep ‘em separated? Remember when they dominated the airwaves? Remember when they were pretty fly for white guys?

They’re putting out a new album. If it wasn’t the Offspring, and if we didn’t have such a great history…

Death Cab Blogging

I feel like a Death Cab Junkie I’ve been writing so much about them lately…I guess that’s what happens when a favorite band releases a new disc. Anyhow, they guest blogged for a day (yesterday) at Sterogum, and I think some of them are worth reading.

I always like it when a band…

Crappy Lyrics? Or Sub-Par Music?

I was wondering the other day…

If I was forced to choose between the two, would I rather listen to a song with great music, but crappy lyrics? Or, listen to a song with incredible lyrics, but sub-par music. I don’t mean crappy music like Puddle of Mud, or Creed, or Sum 41, or Nickelback; that…
