MUSIC NOTES
- New albums from Florence and the Machine, Chvrches, Liquid, Young Jesus, Carly Rae Jepsen, Gestaffelstein are all on-point
- LCD Soundsystem sucks
- Favorite "new finds" of the month: Ambersmoke, American Football, Ordinary People, Shinobu, Chvrches, Darryl Hall & John Oates, Young Jesus, Carly Rae Jepsen, Armando Trovajoli, Unholy Grave
- Weird how I know the people in Ambersmoke fairly well and this was the first time I actually listened to them....for shame
- Steely Dan winning Best Album over "Kid A" is probably the most egregious error ever committed by the Grammys, and thats coming from a Smashing Pumpkins fan who got snubbed by Celine Dion AND a Jethro Tull fan who snubbed Metallica
- The Courteeners, The Maccabees, Kodaline, Foals, Imagine Dragons, etc are so bland, it's like I guess I understand why they're popular cuz they're not out-and-out horrible, but they're just so boring how can anyone be excited about this stuff?
- I'm sorry but I have never been able to really get into Brand New...Like, they're alright, but pretty forgettable...
- O my god Wolfmother fucking sucks I thought they stopped doing this hokey shit like a decade ago
- The new Killswitch Engage single and music video is fucking LAME, they're just sitting around the studio but the editing makes it seem all EXTREME lol
- Worst of the month: The Struts
- For whatever reason I though The Scene Aesthetic was gonna be a shitty screamo band but no they're a shitty acoustic band
- That Unit Pride live recording is alright if a bit noisy but things kinda went dark when the singer said he was proud to be straight and this next song is about being straight...at first I heard it as like, straight edge, but then I realized maybe this band is like anti-gay or something, they're from the hardline era after all...IDK
- Isn't it weird that Alien Ant Farm is still like, really popular in Europe? Speaking of which, sometimes I wonder why alot of European metal, punk, and psychobilly is so fucking blatantly silly, and then I remember that Faith No More never really lost popularity there...Hmmm
