NOTES:
- Maybe starting the month off with Tegan & Sara and KoRn albums was a bad sign
- Damn the Fuck-Ups wail
- “Depression” by Life Of Agony is the most (hopefully intentionally) hilarious song I heard all month
- The Big Boys are vastly underrated
- Sodom is such a hit-and-miss band…
- That Bach really helped calm me down during some very bad news…
- Xibalba is fucking HEAVY
- There are some grooves on that Secret Machines album that are like still stuck in my head
- Needless to say, Sleeping Giant talks about Jesus way too much for my liking
- I did not know that Childish Gambino was Donald Glover until halfway through the album when I looked up his Wikipedia page
- After listening to Big Sean I just had to listen to some real hip hop to cleanse my ears
- There is a reason Dog’s Eye View was a one-hit wonder. Because they’re boring and they suck.
- I saw EMA at Acrobatics Everyday when she was still with Gowns but the other guy in the band was such an artsy douche I didn’t really like them
- My little brother got me the new BTBAM CD for Xmas, it’s still more of the same but its better than “Great Misdirect” was
- I Spy was fucking dope
- From the name, I thought Snuffaluffagus was gonna be another shitty garage punk band, but no they’re like indie-folk and really good
- Yeah, the Black Keys are awesome, but all their albums sound just the same
Also this month I saw the bands Fiar, the Coltranes, and 13% perform live. My band The Gravitys also played our 5th show with those bands on the 9th.
