Panic was mostly the Denver concert and the new song. The CFOB Mixtape was the one Panic demo song. The Brobecks continues to wow me. Rise Against has been getting some decent airplay on Music Choice so I just had to listen to the whole album again. Good stuff. Intense. Cobra…I’m just not entirely ready to let go.

No big surprises here. I’ve got FOB, who are my happy place. The Brobecks that continue to make me happy. Tegan & Sara is all about rediscovering an old favorite. Green Day just rules. And Black Gold is so comforting.

Listening to FOB again just made me so fucking happy. I always forget just how good their music makes me feel. Conversely, this was a rough week and so I needed some MCR.

As I continue recovering from the Panic at the Disco divorce, I am listening to them more and more. The Brobecks is such an amazingly awesome band and it irks me so deeply that more people don’t know about them. I wish I knew how to help raise their profile, get them gigs, get them money or press or something. Because holy shit so awesome. My love affair with Brody Dalle’s Spinnerette continues apace. Such an awesome artist. Tegan & Sara just always feel right to me. And Queen, well Queen is one of the foundation/key stones of my musical taste. So much love. So much respect. Their musical descendants (which I think both Muse and The Brobecks can claim to be) are faves of mine too.

This week seems so random. Really it’s just that I’ve been watching tons of tv (got the Tennis Channel \o/). Green Day was one play through of their 21st Century Breakdown. I really do love that album. Though by the end of it, I’m really ready for it to be over. It’s just slightly too long. I have no idea why The Brobecks is listed at 12, I listened to the whole album. Must be a time-cut-off thing. I fucking love their album and wish I could have more. The Beatles - that was me listening to Revolution a few times. I was inspired by the themes on the latest albums by Fall Out Boy, Rise Against!, Green Day, Depeche Mode and the upcoming Muse and AFI albums. Speaking of AFI, those plays are from their new single “Medicate” which I recommend. Empire of the Sun is the three free tracks I got via rcrdlbl.com. There’s just something nifty about those songs.
