Jawbreaker

So I have always been a 24 hour revenge therapy fan, but right now Dear You made it into my cd player(after another few days of mickey avalon), anyway this album is the shit. But I am done with the godfather of emo in my player I want to move on to something else. Remember that Dear You is after the throat polyps and and where Jets to Brazil fit in god only knows. So what am I switching to who knows, but if you have already turned down jawbreaker because you think emo is just dashboard and chemical romance you need a fuckin schoolin.

Richard Hell and The Voidoids

Looking for some classic pioneering punk, then go no further than Richard Hell and the Voidiods. Blank Generation is in my cd player right now, and Television's Moonlight Marquee is ridding backup. Why some much Hell? Because Richard is one sexy dude. But really listen to it just for some background on early punk. Enjoy track 9 "New Pleasure" and tell me you don't hear something that Tim Kasher probably heard you know pre Happy Hollow.

Driving music

The Quest for driving music has become Epic. Also my room mate and I like each other's music (he is mostly a rap guy). But we haven't found our, we both love this shit groove yet. For me an appreciater of everything from Country to HipHop, this is always achievable. I think his achilles heel might be his secret love for techno. I think I might try to knock this problem out with a little squarepusher tonight.

Ok chicks on speed a no go

So the new album is more poppy then all the other albums and at the same time all the lyrics are anti pop. So I guess I am saying this album confuses me and still does not defeat 91.1.

Brad Paisely

Pop country never sounded so good. Yeah I know you guys are hating me right now, but come on "alcohol" and fuckin Whiskey Lullaby. Eat that shit up.

Fucking Blackout

Fucking listen to the album bitches. Black out. From "The Good Life.

Oldies

Ok time for some overplayed old bullshit. Radiohead is pretty over played these days but you know what, OK Computer is still a master work. Show respect bitches.

Chicks on Speed

I found my replacement for Mickey Avalone. w00t! Ok according to wikipedia Genre is electropop. There fun and upbeat enough for my morning drive.

So my goal today is to get something to replace the Mickey Avalon cd in my cd player

So far I am thinking the Juno soundtrack, which is pretty good, but not perfect for driving. I recommend the Juno soundtrack to everybody(and the movie, too).

Microchip kids

The Microchip kids are pretty special, my favorite from the 8bit crop. I listen to a lot of 8 bit but these Austrian Gameboy players rock my rock. 8 Bit heaven

HipHop's Jewish Tough Guy

Mickey Avalon is a jewish(like grandma went to Auschwitz jewish) hiphop artist. He raps to some generic beats and maybe even some that could be described as industrial. His lyrics create the kind of imagery that draws me to good song writing. I was pretty hurt when a friend of mine said "He is a horrible rapper, but funny." Maybe I just take him a little to seriously.
