New Castledoor record is good. Having listened to half of it, I can say I recommend it.
I don't think I ever realized how pop oriented Coheed And Cambria were. I'm not saying that it's a good or bad thing, but it's something I just realized.
Speaking of pop the new Mercy Mercedes record should be chock full of pop goodness.
I can't get over how much I love this band, The Devil and The Lion are definitely a band I wished would have stuck for a few more years. So good.
I'm still waiting for some good new music this year. So far I've been kind of let down by some of my anticipated releases so I'm hoping this summer things get turned around. Both Brand New and Say Anything or mixing their albums now, so those should be out by the end of the summer. As Tall As Lions should be finished real soon, if it's not already. And I feel like Jimmy Eat World owes me, that's right owes me personally, a new album.
Geoff Rickley ftw.
I appreciate playoff hockey because it gives me an excuse to continue to grow this poor excuse for a mustache for a while. So until further notice Danscaping is postponed. Also I've now had one person say the liked it(my facial hair that is) and another two tell me not to shave. Although I'm unsure about their motives.
Build A Beard ftw!
I have four friends that have declared themselves fans of Vin Diesel on facebook. I have four friends who are idiots. If that upsets any of you, you're the problem in our country. Because someone had a different opinion you felt personally attacked, instead of focusing on the bigger issue; why do you like such a shitty actor. Daniel Tosh ftw.
That was my third time using ftw, for those keeping score at home.
Even Dora the Explorer has a motorcycle of sorts. This is frustrating.
The Buffalo Sabres many moons ago drafted Taro Tsujimoto from the Tokyo Katanas. Except that he doesn't exist. He was made up by their GM and he didn't tell anyone until weeks after the draft was finished.
I'm tired of having my birthday in the winter when it's cold. So those of you reading this are hereby invited to my spring birthday bash-stravaganza on May 16. Bring presents, and there will be cake.
Firefox hates text twist apparently. Therefore I hate firefox right now.
NYC notes...
-I am ruthlessly efficient on the subway when I'm alone. Put me with people and I'm a complete failure.
-The first bar, The Bitter End, was actually a cool place. It had a comedy club vibe but with live music, as mentioned before it was real easy for me to get to.
-Speaking of the live music. The first band we saw as alright, not good but could have been much worse. The second band was a Killers type band called The Vanguard and enjoyed their set. Following them was a band called Open Til Midnight, and their singer was in a boy band called Dream State. Here's how I described them to Nate, "they're like the Red Hot Chili Peppers except their guitarist isn't John Fruscantie(sp?), their drummer isn't Chad Smith, their bass player isn't Flea and their singer is Anthony Keidis." Although that description is a bit off, they were more pop oriented. And the final group was saw was someone rap group that was like the Roots and absolutely had me mesmerized. I felt like I was watching something special for a bit. Then we left, and listened to them on myspace and was severely disappointed.
-I thrive on awkwardness, it makes me happy. Which is good because I'm pretty awkward on my own, so I may as well enjoy it when others create it.
-Without fail I will fall asleep on the train ride back.
The Mets and Rangers won today, at the time of this writing the Yankees pitching(well starting pitcher) has my brother so frustrated he doesn't even want to think about the Yankees. It's a good day.
Franchises make me depressed.
If you know me at all you should have figured out by now that I'm a sucker for sequels, well repeat characters. Whether they be in movies or books I can become real attached to characters or groups of characters and then I get depressed. It's a weird thing it's why I hate when franchises end. Don't get me wrong I don't want them to continue just to keep characters in order but endings rarely leave me fulfilled. I hate happy endings that aren't really plausible or are overly sappy and cheery. But at the same time I hate when there's a realistic ending the group splits, the end of Lord of The Rings greatly disappoints me. Which is something that is directly related to my seeming lacking desire for things to change, even if it's for the better.
On a related note I'm clearly a 13 year old girl trapped inside a man's body.
Upon further review my description of Open Till Midnight is pretty off. Oh well. And if you're interested they are giving away their songs free at their website. I for one will not be downloading.
Dear Kelly Clarkson,
I feel like we've had a good thing going the last few years, I even liked you single from My December. But your new song, "I Do Not Hook Up," makes me a little sad. Now I'm not saying you need to whore it up, please don't actually, but I don't need an anthem for women to rally around. In these trying economic times I am struggling to "hook up" as you put it and this song certainly will not help things. I'll forgive you this time, but in the future please be considerate of my feelings.
Love,
Dan
PS- I still think the song is alright.
