Part2

No excuses, sticking to my guns I think this is fun

Past in Present - Fiest

Yesss lissnin' to Fiest on my ipod I feel like smiling whenever that
happens or just when I hear this song in general. This is a good song off
that album that made Fiest everybody's crush and it's not 1234 catchy but
it is still one of my favourites. I definitely like Fiest better on her
up tempo songs but that is true for just music in general for me so liking
this song is just a no brainer

Videotape - Radiohead

Awful confession: In Rainbows was my first radiohead album. I
think it was 15 step that convinced me to go for it, like you have to start
somewhere with radiohead right and this album was v. accessible and
likable. Uhhh this song is a bit of a downer, not my favourite gotta be
honest but there is something pretty about his voice and its listenable
for sure, I was just getting annoyed when it came up while I was biking
or whatever because it is not pump up the blood music. But just sitting
here now just digging it yeah it's good no complaints. "And this has been
the most perfect day..." is my favourite line I think though it's starts
well with the thing about the pearly gates.

Retirement - Kaiser Chiefs

I found this album really really listenable, whether it was like really
good I don't know but it was innoffensive and enjoyable and i know they
are like a million other bands but I think they do it well, that
britrockpop sound with charming accents and decent lyrics. This song is fun,
one of the ones I liked more, good and fun and I don't have to justify
jack all.

This Heart's on Fire - Wolf Parade

I haven't listen to Wolf Parade's new album because I'm still
listening to their last one. I got on board pretty late and only then
because I was trying to be a better canadian but oh wow this band and this
album has just grown and grown and grown on me like the more I listen to
it the more I like it. It's been months and months now but there's is not
much chance of burning out on it at all. This song is not my favourite or
anything, it's maybe an average song but average on this album is still
etc etc. Kind of afraid of spinning the new wolf parade because how could
i like it as much as this one???

Roxanne - The Police

I have no major insights into the Police. I think this is the only Police
song I have and obviously it is awesome and obviously it is great to jam
to on rock band and it makes a decent drinking game but other wise that is
it with my interaction with roxanne and the police. Sting's reggae thing
is pretty sweet though and the song is great to sing along to and that's
all i have to say??

Technologic - Daft Punk

I think one of my little bros must have downloaded this cause i didn't. I
don't know much about daft punk except this was the song that Kanye used
and there are those cool hand videos on youtube but otherwise??? It's
catchy huh

British Legion - Kasabian

I do not remember this song at all. Kasabian is A+ but this song doesn't
really sound like them, or it is not indicative of their best so maybe I
just didn't listen to it much, or blocked the memory or something.

Cold Wind - Black Rebel Motorcycle Club

Oooh these guys are good kind like Kasabian I think? I took a chance on
them basically because of their name and was not disappointed at all.
Haven't listen to it much in a while and this the only album of theirs I
know so maybe I should look farther in. This song is p. good, kinda macho
in good way like these guys know what they are doing, but also it is a
little boring. It is definitely possible to get over this stuff

Nirvana - Come as you Are

Hahaha what do I know about Nirvana. I was just an adorable little kid when
Kurt Cobain was relevant so I don't even know why I have the three nirvana
songs I do. I mean it's a fine song but umm doesn't do anything for me
re: wasn't old enough to care about grunge/music at all and if you didn't
grow up with grunge I don't know why you would want to listen to it. Oh
wait Dave Grohl was/is pretty cool, kinda surprised no Foo Fighters have shown
up yet. Uhh so yeah pretty good drumming listen to that beat. Go Grohl go.

This Song Will Ruin/Save your Life - Born Ruffians

I found a bunch of Born Ruffian songs online a lot before the real album
formed (haha listen to me be all indier than thou) and this is the song that warmed my heart and made me a believer. It
uhh spoke to my teenage self I guess? Still pretty catchy I like the way
he sings all breathlessly just like making it up as he goes almost. Still
love this song.

The AV Club doesn't care about You

Anyway this is dumb+boring but it's a standard open your ipod, see what happens thing.

Your Time has Come - Audioslave

Was hoping audioslave wouldn't show up. I think I have their
entire discography and they were definitely one of the first bands I ever
really said "hey, i like these guys for sure" but all their songs kind of
run into eachother now. Anyway no apologies screw you

Sci-fi Lullaby - Silversun Pickups

Oh boy I do like this song and I do this thing where I binge on Silversun
for a couple weeks usually in the winter I think. I don't think I have
anything else like them in my pod and I wouldn't want it that way any way.
Silversun Pickups is like the reason I couldn't get into Teegan and Sara
when everyone was jizzing on them because I was like, "yeah, been there".
I really dig the whole quiet intensity and the way this song kind of builds
and if i knew any music terminology I would bust it out now.

Centennial - Tokyo Police Club

Yes i was hoping TPC would show up b/c these guys are my crush right now.
Well it was more a summer thing but I'm still listening to Elephant Shell
and I still think it is pretty rad. This song is not the best one on the
album but it is still good and there's a nice story thing going on

Stray Cat Blues - Rolling Stones

Hahaha what can i say about the Stones I mean they are what they are and
they stem from my early music listening days when I was still trying to
figure out what music was and how I related to it and I mean this is a
pretty good song. I don't have strong opinions on classic rock and I have
no idea how this song fits into the Rolling Stones story but uhh I like it
and it's one of like 10 Stones songs I have and they are all good you know?

Streets of Love - Rolling Stones

Oh frig off I have like ten Stones songs and this is not one I like much.
I mean I don't dislike it, oh wait it just got to the chorus, yeah it's
nice but I'd rather they were kicking my ass then being all sentimental,
"the corner store fixes broken hearts". Anyway yeah I don't know whether
this is early or late Stones or whether this shows up on greatest hits or
what I basically got all the Rolling Stones on my hardrive from typing in
the band name into Limewire and going for what sounded good

Halo the Harpoons - The Stills

I took a gamble on this album and it turned out to be pretty boring and I
haven't really listened to it or them since (The Stills are now equated in
my head with like the ideal of boring you know?). But this song is one of
the good ones, good being relative but it is nice. Like nice in a "maybe
it is time to reconsider" nice. Oh wait no this band is just too slow +
uninteresting it had me fooled for like the first two minutes. "Sharks
that do nothing but stall and think". I like the lyrics wish the rest was
better

Transliterator - Devotchka

Oh wow one of my favourite songs of recently, easily my favourite song off
a mad and faithful telling. the rest of the album is nice and good but this
song is $$$$ I love the chorus "beautifly mutilated, instantly antiquated,
i admit i always underestimate it" that is not quite how goes but whatever.

Seven Nation Army - The White Stripes

I think this is one of the earliest songs I ever downloaded and it is what
made me realize that the White Stripes were a really good band. Not like
that is a revelation or whatever but it was for younger me b/c i don't know
but I was pretty lost back then just trying to get into music and the
Stripes were kinda weird to me until this. I still think its awesome and I'm
kind of embarrassed that I never followed up and downloaded the rest of the
album but I basically listened to Icky Thump for 2007 so this is an
important signpost.

Nothing Left to Say - Audioslave

Frrrig off my ipod is like my mom showing naked baby pictures to cute girls,
why are you doing this? Anyway title sums it up. This is off revelations
which if i am remembering right was their Last album, and also my least
favourite, if I can even use superlatives with this band. Oh I see this song gets better like two minutes in; I don't know I just have a thing for Chris Cornell's voice. I think we all have our weaknesses.

Wucan - Black Mountain

Oh sweet this band is heavy good, I've been listening to them a lot lately.
they are heavier and kinda more retro than I usually listen to but they
have a guy/girl thing going (usually just the guy tho) and I'm a sucker for
that, plus they are from like a hippie commune in BC so if you are looking
for stuff to get high too I'm guessing this would work. This song is good, not
the best but it has moments and it's five minutes so just a good solid five
minutes of solid music. A lot of it is just instrumental so you can really
just think deep thoughts or whatever.

State of the union

Oh frig oh frig it's raining outside and it's making me feel more useless than I usually do. My mantra is I gotta do new things, I want to be that person, you know the person who is creative and challenges themself and eats funny types of spinach and jogs every morning - that is who I want to be. But I never leave my room so that is kinda hard. My room is the worst place. It is a cocoon, a womb, a soft inviting prison of my own design and there's never a reason to leave.

I had to fight myself to get moving this morning because I was stupid and I went on youtube ten minutes before I should have been leaving. It was literally "maybe I could just skip class today" and all because I was watching some punk 11 year old play an acoustic version of the pirates of the caribbean theme, and he was good too. I used to have a no youtube rule, and I would never go there under my own volition but now I'm all web 2.0 with subscriptions and all that crap. God I'll have a rss reader soon I know it and then that will be the day.

I compromised and took my laptop to school with me because there was important e-business to be done and I swear my room is a toxic environment, it is the worst I can`t get anything done in there because my room is where I watch 30 rock over the internet and its where I read stupid message boards not where I do work. How do people who work form home do it? How do they delineate so well work and home? I can't do it. If work needs doing I gotta get myself to school to do it otherwise I am just sucked back down and suddenly I'm watching water balloons pop in super slow motion at three in the morning.
