I've been outed.

Midnight screening of the Rocky Horror Picture Show, then to a friend's house.

None of these bands are average.

Ooh, that's a good one. Although I think I prefer New Day Rising.

Bjork - Pleasure Is All Mine

The first time I listened to that Yo La Tengo album, I had an unbearable migraine headache, and thus was unable to pay close attention to it. I've avoided it since then, because just thinking about it gives me a headache again.

Way too long for what it is.

Hey, if you'll notice, I've kept my mouth shut on the whole Journey business up until now.

You're partially responsible. Once you came out of the closet and admitted you like Journey, the music folder hasn't been the same.

Sooo... The Futureheads are not very good. For Christmas, I was put in charge of babysitting several younger cousins. I decided that it would be a good time for these youngsters to have their first viewing of Tommy. Hilarity ensued. Dark Side Of The Moon is too cliche of an album to even begin to enjoy listening to. It's strangely hypnotic, though.

Nice try, guys.

Magic Bus and Pictures Of Lily are both quite good.

I got Dark Side Of The Moon, The Ramones' s/t, and Rocket To Russia on vinyl, along with a record player, for Christmas. Sweet.

...although thinking about it, I may need to give it a closer listen later tonight. I didn't like Spiderland or Unknown Pleasures at first either, until I sat down and listened to them in a dark room.

I have Laughing Stock by Talk Talk. It's pretty and pleasant, but nothing revolutionary or earth-shattering like I had heard it was supposed to be.

Live After Death

So I was looking through my CDs today, and I noticed that I have a live Iron Maiden album. I don't remember ever buying it or listening to it, but there it is. I may pop it in tomorrow.

Now that I think about it, Pearl Jam and Soundgarden are both very average bands. Since I like them a little bit better than Van Halen, they're the new winners.

My entire family is asleep, but I've been drinking a very gaseous and disgusting off-brand Dr. Pepper knock off all day, and am thus too loaded with caffiene to sleep any time soon. So I am going to sit here at my computer and eat an entire box of Krispy Kreme donuts until I'm sick and sluggish enough to pass out. Merry Christmas.

I never listen to Sabbath except the first three albums, which are all great sludgy doomy stoner rock.

Joy Division - Unknown Pleasures Refused - The Shape Of Punk To Come John Coltrane - A Love Supreme Radiohead - Kid A Dead Kennedys - Fresh Fruit For Rotting Vegetables Rolling Stones - Sticky Fingers Bonnie Prince Billie - I See A Darkness Dave Brubeck - Time Out Brian Eno - Another Green World M83 - Dead Cities, Red Seas, & Lost Ghosts (np) On deck:

I like it.

I just realized today, the fact that I play role playing games every week disqualifies me immediately from scenester/artfuck status. Phew.

Nerd.
