MUSIC NOTES
- That Century Media CD has a bunch of dope songs on it I'm glad I re-found it; on a related note, that "Generations" mix has a Fucked Up song at the end that I love so much I've been re-listening to almost every day...Fucked Up is just an amazing band
- Favorite "new finds" of the month: Coerced, Flatbush Zombies, The Wildhearts, Big Grams, Forest Whitaker, World's Fair, Luna, Chron Gen, Plattenbau, Inocentes
- "Somehow, I never leave this Dead House"
- New releases by Coerced, Walls Of Jericho, Big Grams, Atreyu, Moby, Culture Abuse, Bob Dylan, Waxahatchee, Code Orange, and Ghostface Killah & Adrian Younge are all on point
- "I get this funny feeling that you don't love me anymore..."
- I've been recommended Flatbush Zombies for several years now and I regret sleeping on them, they rule
- "Can't Hardly Wait"
- If a band released an album like "Love Gun" today they'd be ostracized for the sheer level of misogyny...or they'd be Steel Panther
- "What We Want Is Free"
- Thin Lizzy's song "Sarah" is like the greatest thing ever
- Some of the lyrics on Culture Abuse's new album really hit home for me, very good stuff
- "Let's Face It" is one of the most listened-to CDs in my entire gigantic collection despite it being so drastically more upbeat than most of my other favorites...maybe that's why I turn to it so often, come to think of it
- Meat Grinder was so underrated even in the-then much-smaller Temecula scene they were from in the late 90s but goddamn those dudes could wail
- If anybody wants that Confide CD you can have it but be warned, I'm gonna judge you
- I know that Chino Moreno regrets "Back To School" but goddamn that song is badass
- Who would have guessed that Ryan Adams covering a very recent Taylor Swift album in full would be such a good listen
- It's a real shame about the dissolution of Crisis Arm because their final album "Rend" has only gotten better with time
- "We may not be The Young Ones very long"
- I can't believe I had never even heard of Luna, Chron Gen, or Inocentes before now ...Inocentes especially is fucking awesome, like if The Adicts spoke Spanish
- The new Thrice album is so disappointing that I wrote a fairly lengthy review of how bad I thought it was...look for that soon
