I bet you didn’t expect to see a 5SF today, did you?! I know, I know, I have been CRAZY busy with nursing school this summer, but for once, I actually have the “day off”, and I am bursting the seams with delight that I got the day to myself. I am also happy that [...]

RIP Peter Alexander Greenlaw Quaife
The bassist of the best band of the British Invasion died today. Sad news, but it gives me an excuse to play some Kinks.

The 10 Most Annoying Songs Ever, #5
They don’t come any more overrated than Soundgarden and their poseur frontman, Chris Cornell.

The 10 Most Annoying Songs Ever, #6
Bush, John Denver, Wal-Mart crooner Darryl Worley and Genesis are joined by a pick so obvious it can’t be ignored. This song has been known to incite violence, and the video is just as annoying.

Silversun Pickups at the Tabernacle, ATL 6/19/10
I took a break from studying on Saturday, and James and I headed out to the Tabernacle to see the amazing Silversun Pickups, and what we got was nothing short of a damn fine concert. While I didn’t particularly care for the opening bands, Silversun Pickups completely wailed for the entire set, and were downright [...]

Now playing in Hell’s waiting room

changing brackets
I haven’t been particularly excited about leaving marketers’ “most coveted age bracket” (although this guy thinks the boomers are changing that). I like knowing companies spend millions of dollars trying to figure out how to please me and how to catch my attention. It’s like dating a Rockefeller.
But not any more. Tomorrow I hit 35. [...]
sotd: The National – Bloodbuzz Ohio
I really wanted to do a 5SF Friday yesterday, but things have been crazy since school started this semester. They weren’t joking about the whole accelerated thing. Things should slow down a bit after next week though, and I am definitely looking forward to that (hopefully) happening. With that being said, I just can’t wait [...]
5SF: may 28
Woo hoo! Guess who’s back!! This has been a crazy week for me (literally, 5 tests for school!), but I have made it intact through all of it, and I wanted to celebrate a nice weekend by kicking it off with some great music; especially since it’s been a couple of weeks since the last [...]
sotd: Silversun Pickups – The Royal We
If you followed my countdown of last years top 31 albums, you already know that the Silversun Pickups AMAZING sophomore album, Swoon, came in at number six, and is quite simply put, incredible. While I loved this song when the album was initially released (over a year ago!), a current single release has put it [...]
