I'm going to listen to just one more tonight. This is "Heroes and Villains" by Paloalto. This band broke up shortly after making this album, and it's too bad. This was a good start for a new band. It is pretty mellow throughout, which fits my mood right now //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

Ok tonight I shall start with "...Is a Real Boy" by Say Anything. This album is pretty much a Rock Opera of sorts. The songs definitely have a "Broadway" hook to them, like some kind of really really pissed off version of Rent that's not gay.

I would say that this album borders on genius, and my proof is that the lead singer ( Max Bemis) is/was crazy when it was written.

I like "Wow I can get ****** too"

...is a Real Boy is so much better than In Defense of the Genre.

Yeah Defense should have been a single CD with a lot of the filler songs cut out.

Couldn't put it any better than that.

Ok Next up I'm gonna do a 180 and pop in "My Name is Buddy" by Ry Cooder. This is a folkish album about a Cat, Mouse, and Toad and their travels....... yeah it's weird //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/tongue.gif.6130eb82179565f6db8d26d6001dcd24.gif

Tonight I'm gonna kick it '87 style with Fleetwood Mac's "Tango in the Night". Other than the song Family man...which sounds terribly dated, I love to just jam out to this album.

Next up I'm gonna bust out Outkast's "Atliens". I'm not big on rap/hip hop...but I know what's good when I hear it and this album is pretty amazing, too bad this genre produces this kind of quality so rarely //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/thumbsdown.gif.d22f25895e9b40f2300c953691dacfa2.gif

It's Thursday already?

Ok first up tonight is an interesting but deep album. It is from a Canadian ( //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/sick.gif.b1847c8dabbfeeddbcf1a78052249e10.gif ) band, this is Stars' "Set Yourself On Fire". It's not the kind of album I would normally like, but the texture of this album is so dense that I can't help but get into it.

Alright, next I'm going to listen to Cold, "13 Ways to Bleed on Stage". Work kind of pissed me off today so I'm feeling like I need some angry music.

Tonight I started with "Emotionalism" by the Avett Brothers. This is a Folksy album with tongue-in-cheek lyrics. I find it very relaxing to listen to.
