Tuesday Music
Tuesday, January 22, 2008
I recently added three new songs to my "new music" playlist. Two were videos I saw on some music video show or the other. The other is from the new Foo Fighter's album I haven't given a good listen to yet. Enjoy!
Paramore - Crush Crush Crush
I like the music for this song probably because it has that upbeat 80's kind of feel to it, but after listening to it a few times I realize that I don't really like the lyrics. One line, Cause I'd rather waste my life pretending than have to forget you for one whole minute, makes me want to throw up a little. Seriously.
Red Jumpsuit Apparatus - Your Guardian Angel
I'm still undecided about this song. I think it's sweet, but the video doesn't really do anything for me.
Foo Fighters - The Pretender
And the Foo Fighters, who should have probably made my top 20 albums list, but didn't because I didn't think to add them. For a while I was mad about the last album (In Your Honor) which contained a rootkit thanks to Sony, but I'm going to assume it was the publisher and not the band at fault. There's no warning or rootkit on this CD though, so I'm going to assume that Sony learned their lesson.

First one is an 80s flashback. The 2nd is cotton candy fluff. Foo is foo, and everytime I see a glitzy video from them I chuckle thinking about how it was possible Dave was in Nirvana, and how long he would have stayed there had Kurt not blown his brains out.
Any thoughts on why new mainstream bands have long names, either overly specific or prepositional phrases (ie - My Chemical Romance, As I Lay Dying, Red Jumpsuit Apparatus)? It's like bands took possible album names and made them band names.

It's a fad? Someone started it when they couldn't think of anything else and it caught on?

I'm LOVING that Red Jumpsuit Apparatus song. Thanks for sharing it with us, I am always happy to have new music. Their song Facedown has been on my workout playlist for quite some time now but I like hearing a softer side of them :)

LOL! Spoken like a TRUE atheist, Oh Gee.
