MUSIC NOTES
- I listened to wayyyyyy more Eddie Money than this list would indicate
- Favorite 'new finds' of the month: Your Old Droog, Protomartyr, Skeletal Remains, Tinariwen, Blazing Eye, Parquet Courts, Scuffs, Wye Oak, Ben Frost, Katarina, Anubis Gate
- Worst of the month: Hollywood Undead (how the fuck was this shit ever popular?), The Ready Set (jesus christ that shit is annoying), Cluster Headaches (it's like I get it, but its not working well, stop), Lea Michele (why did I even listen to this?), Within Temptation, Navarone (both of the last 2 bands are so boring I don't even have any shit to talk), The Creature From The Sleepy Lagoon (just plain terrible), hellogoodbye (way too cutesy for me)
- Steve Aoki is hella overrated
- Why did I listen to an entire Maroon 5 album? What the fuck is wrong with me?
- It's rare that I listen to 2 bands with exclamation points at the end of their name but I did it this month...Living the dream
- All the reviews I read of the new Wye Oak album lament that the frontwoman stopped using guitar because she was so badass so I guess I should check out their older albums because this new guitar-less album is badass
- The new Weezer album fucking sucks but then again it is Weezer of course it sucks
- Timber Timbre is pretty dope but much like The War On Drugs, the singer sounds too much like the Arcade Fire guy for me to distinguish them
- Stevie Nicks has a new album out. That is all.
- Xzibit is on the new Within Temptation album for some reason
- Pepper is way less offensive and childish than I had hoped
- I might have to listen to that D'Angelo album a couple more times to appreciate how dope everybody else seems to think it is (Lauryn Hill syndrome)
- The only song from I liked from both the Asking Alexandria AND Winds Of Plague albums were the instrumental interludes that every metalcore band has...that's a bad sign.
- Most of that Bonaparte album fucking sucks but the few songs that are good are GREAT
- Damn The Acacia Strain just gets more and more boring by the album...its like that's what they're going for, "how boring can we possibly be?"
- "The Endless River"
- No matter how many times I try to give Entombed a chance they never seem to catch my ear like at all
- I wish I could be disappointed by the new Smashing Pumpkins album but I just don't care anymore, and that's the saddest part of it all
- "If I spoke in one constant rhythm, at one constant pitch, at one constant volume, right into your ear...you still won't hear."
- "Can I be as my God Am?"
- I had to ask the former drummer of Take This Hand to see if the old tracks were anywhere online because they never actually released the EP...a fucking shame because its such a badass album, even if they are straight-edge Christians....Inland Empire 2006 IN YOUR FACE
- I thought Klaxons were gonna sound like The Strokes not Daft Punk...not really about it
LIVE
12/5/14 - Ocean Hands/The IntroVert/(The Gravitys) @ Rockefella's

LIVE NOTES
- Playing an acoustic set at a bar is a stupid idea
- That show on the 18th was our first with our new drummer Sam
- It was nice to see all my friends at that Motherboy show; it's been too long. Long live The Dial.
- Many thanks to Nate and Kelsey for having us at your New Years Party...that shit was fun. Thank you to all my friends for encouraging me so much and just keeping me going. I truly appreciate all the kind words; I really couldn't do it without you. \_/
