What are your favorite bands?

So I got asked this question today. I have been asked it many times. But I have realized I have not mentioned it here! What is wrong with me! Of all places right?
I divided it up into several lists. Some are subject to change, some are not. Anyway, here they are.
F A V O R [...]

VH1 bring back Behind the Music…Wooo!

Thanks to Internet Popular, my day just got better.
http://internetpopular.wordpress.com/2009/03/23/vh1-brings-back-behind-the-music-who-is-first/
First up? Lil’ Wayne.
I’m hoping they do one on Amy Winehouse. It really doesn’t get much better than that!
So who’s story would you like to see?

Did you see my stomach stop moving? Did you feel the last breath on your neck?

So today, I saw that the wonderful Brandon “Muckaluck” added “Shirtsleeves” by The Receiving End of Sirens to his profile (I think it was him anyway). I decided I should listen to that song too since its been years. I am so glad I did.
This led me to listen to “Vertigo Unconsciousness” and “Bell Book [...]

Please vote for my dog!

If you are my friend outside of the internet, you know that my dog Olive is the love of my life.
So there is this new site http://www.cuteashell.com and they have a face off called “Thunderdome” where I could win prizes. It would be really nice seeing as how Olive has cost me quite a bit! [...]

St. Patrick’s Day Battle

Everyone claims to be “a little bit” Irish today. I actually am (1/4 Irish to be exact). But when I think of St Patty’s, I think of one band: The Dropkick Murphys. Even if you don’t like Irish inspired punk rock, if you are from Boston, you love the Dropkick Murphys. You at least like [...]

If the fire’s out baby, how you gonna keep me warm?

I will start this off with saying I really need to update this more.
Lately, I’ve been on a Metric/Stars kick. I have heard of both bands a long time ago, but for who knows what reason, never listened to them or got into them. Well, that has all changed.
I really dig Metric’s new record Fantasies. [...]

Current Musical Stylings

So, upon reading my last post, I realize I tend to write about past things more than current things. I’m sure those of you who might actaully read this might want some NEW music to listen to (or at least some new recommendations for bands you might not have heard of).
So here are my Top [...]

Here I stand, waiting to be moved

I, like most people, have a lengthy “Favorite Songs” list. However, most of those songs are not on my work computer, where I usually blog from (shh, don’t tell. It has more to do with the fact that I have a Macbook Pro at work and I’m more motivated when I’m here).
But one of them [...]

If I wrote a book…

The other day I twittered about wanting to be the cute girl version of Chuck Klosterman. I’m thinking about that again. I want to write books and travel the country writing about dead musicians and pop culture. But what would my book be called?
If it were a music industry book, I think I’d call it [...]

Portugal The Man

Last night, I went to see Portugal the Man last minute at the Casbah. For those of you not in San Diego, The Casbah is pretty legendary. It is a great place to see live music. Great bands play there, shows aren’t expensive and usually run into the early morning hour. Not to mention, the [...]
