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.
