So much time, and so much music!

Since I have been on here there has been so much good new music that I feel I should comment on, however I’ve gone through some life changes recently and haven’t had nearly enough time to listen to it all! Some of the new CDs that have been released recently are: Fall Releases 2010 Something [...]

Concerts I’ve Been To!

Ok, so I’ve been to a fair amount (90 to be exact) of concerts over the last several years, so I thought I’d post them and tell you what I’ve thought. There some bands I’ve seen multiple times, so that will be listed in parenthesis. In future posts I’ll have to explain some funny stories [...]

Bands Nobody Has Ever Heard of Before (3): Lovesick Radio

I had never heard of Lovesick Radio before until one of my friends (who has awesome taste in music and is also an awesome guitar player) sent this song to me. While I thought they were a bit whiney at first, this song really grew on me. The lyrics were powerful, and the song just [...]

Best Remakes

Occasionally you find a band that does a really amazing job with a remake. It might not necessarily sound like the original, sometimes even better! London Bridge by Bowling for Soup (originally by Fergie) While I hate both Fergie and the original song, I fell in love when I first heard this version. Not only [...]

Please educate the punkless!

Yes, I’m still having trouble with people who know not of what they speak. I think the problem all stems from calling it punk rock, so people automatically smash the two genres together in their head, and then cannot manage to find a difference. I had to explain to a friend this morning that Flyleaf [...]

Free Legal Punk Music (What could be better?)

We all know that usually downloading music from the internet is illegal and wrong, right? (please just nod and say yes) However it can be legal if the music is downloaded from a group that has the right to distribute it such as the band itself, the recording company, or maybe a sponsor. Yesterday I [...]

You’ve gotta love Ska…

After my last post about Catch 22 I decided that I need to post a little more about Ska in general. The video I posted below is  Ska remix by Reel Big Fish of Aha’s song Take On Me ‘Ska is an odd looking word: short punchy, almost funny. So is the music at times, [...]

Bands That Nobody Has Ever Heard Of (2): Catch 22

Catch 22 is a ska punk band from East Brunswick, New Jersey around 1996. I had never heard of them until I somehow I got a free song from them and put it on my MP3. The song was called “Wine Stained Lips” and turned out to be one of the coolest and most addicting [...]

Musical Pet Peeves

I am a musically obsessed person, so when someone uses music in the wrong context, or talks about something they know nothing about, it really, really, really bothers me. As you saw in the last post I wrote about the whole Green Day/pop-punk mistake which is a perfect example of this! My sister and one [...]

Green Day!

Green Day is really a band you can’t help but like! They’re cute, they have attitude and amazing vocals with intriguing lyrics. While they are one of my favorite bands ever, they are also the source of one of my biggest pet peeves. GREEN DAY IS NOT PUNK! They are pop-punk, and there is a [...]
