Gonna be honest here. I’ve been listening to a band i have no idea what to do with. Like, at all. It was suggested by a friend, and so far outside of my normal scope of interest that i just got nothing.
I guess this is to expected when i’m suddenly tossed a French Pop CD. [...]
Operation alleviate boredom through music is in full swing here at the Anderson abode. My most recent musical refuge has been a band i’ve heard about for what seems decades. Despite this fact, up until about three weeks ago, i had never actually listened to any of their music. At all. The band? Yeah Yeah [...]
Meet the newest incarnation of Leslie: unemployed Leslie. Prior to, oh, today, i had a Job. And prior to that i had school. But i graduated (thank congress), and with that lost my on campus job. While in the search of gainful employment (or, you know, ungainful employment. Whichever presents itself first), i’m filling the [...]
The holiday season is long over. thankfully. over so much so that my normal routines are falling back into place, and all the playing catch-up has come to a close.
which is awesome, because for me, Holiday Hi-jinks come with a cost (other than themselves, mind you).
Crash Love. It’s the newest album by AFI. I’d like to say it was long anticipated, but the truth is I kind of forgot it was coming. I knew after the Blaqk Audio album that a new AFI album was coming eventually, but I didn’t keep tabs on it.
I will go ahead and admit, at [...]
Things have been stressful lately. The little things. Worrying about graduation and my future employment (or lack thereof). Trying to finish off my super late senior project. Washing dishes. Eating regularly. Trying to save abandoned kittens. Worrying over whether my office-mate’s boyfriend having swine flu means I should panic every time she sneezes.
It’s not so [...]
In sophomore year of college I discovered Rancid randomly. I had listed to the album “Rancid 2000” before, but thought it was mediocre at best and moved on. Sophomore year I found songs like “Bloodclot” and “Red Hot Moon‘. I fell in love instantly, and saw Rancid rocket up into my top ten with lightening [...]
I have mentioned my deep and abiding (if not a little creepy) love for Third Eye Blind at least twice now on Sound and Tonic.
Here comes round three.
Ursa Major was released not so long ago, and I’ve been mulling it around for a few weeks now. I know that it often takes a reasonable amount [...]
This last Monday (September 17, 2009) I got to see one of my all-time favorites in concert, and in my home city nonetheless! The last time The Sounds visited the region they hopped through Cleveland, which, while being better than Chicago, was still further than I would have liked to travel on a work-night.
This [...]
I love music that is over the top.
Absurd, outlandish, and way, way over the top.
I have even started collecting specific examples of exemplary over-the-topishness in a playlist. You wouldn’t have expected, but I call this playlist ‘over the top’.
Right now there is one song that heads the list of ridiculousness in such a [...]
