yeah, I am open to the possibility that my hatred for this kind of music is based on my dad playing these albums loudly in our house every weekend as far back as I can remember. And telling me, this is GREAT music, this is what good music sounds like. Sure, you like that Ramones, but listen to THIS.

Well, in his defense, he might be a little bit defensive.  The Eagles and Ramones were contemporaries and the Ramones were part of that movement that was all about being a wake up call to a bloated rock and roll scene.  I guess The Eagles were probably one of the biggest targets of that rhetoric.

That was not really an accurate portrayal of my dad. I just used the Ramones as an example, I don't know if he ever said that exact thing. But he teases me about listening to things he has never heard of.

My dad and Inev's dad probably like a lot of the same stuff. Except the Eagles, I guess.

The upcoming Girls album is streaming here: http://hypem.com/artist/GIRLS

I like it quite a bit. I love the last track. There's this awesome organ bit near the end.

Oingo Boingo Dark at the End of the Tunnel. How did I not already have this album? And why couldn't Danny Elfman stay 35 years old forever? I guess it's because he sold his soul to the devil for the ability to write magically catchy tunes instead of for eternal youth.

So much Dead Kennedy's.  It's been a while since I tried to listen to them.  I didn't get it before but man, those surf/spaghetti elements.  Man.

I guess everything I post on here is kind of the same, but lately I am digging Mikal Cronin's new album. I really like the opening track and a few others.

Ty Segall took Thee Oh Sees and added a lot more hooks and less weird jamming. Mikal Cronin is like Ty with... kind of generic indie-ish singing and melodies. I like it, but later on in the album it gets boring.

Lately all of my friends are starting bands. Trying to find people to play with me. Posted a Craiglist Ad (CREEDENCE KRAUTROCK REVIVAL) that got a lot of good responses, but having the confidence to actually meet up with these people and play is rough. Also, finding someplace where we can play.

I meant for the gimmicky title to get people's attention and kind of say "hey we like a variety of music and want to just kind of screw around and see what happens." Instead, I am getting responses from people who want to start a band where we play Creedence covers in the style of Can.

One of my roommates was a business student, and he really wants to start a business. He is talking a lot about how we need to start a record label, and is treating this like a real project that we should work on. I think it is difficult to start a record label unless there are bands that we know/good bands in the city in general. There are plenty of bands I enjoy seeing, but honestly, not any that I would press on a record and put my seal of approval on.
Maybe we need to be like Gandhi says, and be the band we want to see in the world.

I have no idea what this means, and I am not going to go listen to them, because the reality can only be a disappointment.
