Random Thoughts & Stuff

It's pretty good. I've never read the book, admittedly. I was hoping to catch the movie again before Angels & Demons came out, and I happened across it while bored and channel surfing, so that worked out nicely.

Thanks... Will check it out ASAP... I'm so far behind on movie watching... Too much and not enough time.

With all that talk about Dave Matthews I wanted to post a bad who I loved and still do that was my DMB replacement after his jerkoff behavior. I hope I can positively introduce someone to BIG WRECK...

Big Wreck's -The Oaf (My Luck Is Wasted)

Unfortunately, they are no longer a bad, but the lead singer (Ian Thornley) resurfaced with a new band called "Thornley"... LOVE THEM... They don't get air time in the states, but are huge up north across the border and I know he is best pals with Chad Kroeger of Nickleback... Here is some of their newer stuff... I'd compare them to Audioslave as their only peer back in 2002 when they came out. Love to hear your feedback both positive and negative...

Thornley's -Come Again

That song used to get serious air time on WRAT around here. Not bad.

As long as we're trading bands here, check out Bomb Child. I think they broke up after "Nothing Lasts Forever" came out, but IMO it's the best start-to-finish L.A. style, balls to the wall rock and roll album since Buckcherry's first offering. This is the first track (lyrics NSFW).

Sadly, I don't think you and I will ever agree on music we both like. I'm oh for two on your recommendations... However, please do not give up... We're gonna' find something... ;)

My style is weird I guess.

I go from Dave Matthews Band... to a mood for metal (Devildriver, Spineshank etc..) then to country (Eric Church, Sara Evans), and so on..

Always in the mood for emo though (Early November and Mae are my faves)

Not because it's depressing. People equate emo with depression. I listen to it because it's relaxing. Actually puts me in a good mood no matter how "depressing" the song is. I like to relax lol

It's big for them. Their last album showed signs that they were done but the really bounced back.

The Everglow SUCKED. I don't even know why that album wastes space on my computer.

Jamie you're honestly the only person I've ever heard say that. I've never found one bad review of that album. It's probably one of the only ones I can listen all the way through without skipping... but I guess I have more things to skip over in the car now :-P

But I know you like their faster stuff.

I like one song on there. Suspension. That's it. I don't know. Nothing about that album makes me like it. Destination:Beautiful is better to me. I only liked 4 songs off of Singularity as well. I guess I really don't like them as much as before.

For your metal stuff... try this band: Dream Theatre

For your EMO fix... Juliana Theory (I enjoy their stuff)

For a special treat try this: Buddy Guy -Baby Please Don't Leave Me

It is one of the darkest Blues songs I've ever heard... I equate to a Junkie beggin' for just one hit... Buddy Guy is 70 plus and put out a song like this that is evil!!! He bends and twists each note to get the most out of them. The Guitar solo in center is sinister!

You were okay with the new stuff as well. I think for a lot of people they are the kind of band that would have an AMAZING best of album. I liked two songs off of Singularity... 5 off of destination:beautiful.

JULIANA THEORY! <3

Older JEW (Jimmy Eat World) is great... The last two albums each had one to three songs I liked total. Singles was a personal favourite of mine along with Static Prevails, and Clarity... Bleed America was super too. I have their first album which is self-titled and very "interesting"... I know they used to be a Metallica Cover band... Image that!

Another band people often forget that I loved was Soul Asylum... Some people can only name their two big hits, but most only know the one. So Sad...
