02.16.10Quirky Ukulele MusicFor some reason I have really been into quirky ukulele music lately. First it was YouTuber Molly Lewis. She has some awesome videos on YouTube, and has even played with Jonathan Coulton. She has an album on iTunes, and it is definitely worth the $6.93. Then today Motion City Soundtrack’s blog introduced me to the greatness that is Garfunkel and Oats. You can listen to all their songs and watch a bunch of videos on their website. It was another easy iTunes purchase for me.

01.19.10My Dinosaur LifeMy current favorite band Motion City Soundtrack released their fourth album today. I have listened to it three times already, and it's awesome. Go get it.

01.11.10My Favorite BandsI have been on this planet for the better part of three decades now. Each decade, the 80s, 90s, and 00s, my musical tastes have changed a bit. I have one favorite band from each decade that sticks out far above the other bands I liked. In the 80s it was Bon Jovi. I don’t know any of their new stuff, but Slippery When Wet is still one of my all time favorite albums. That tape was pretty much glued into my tape player through my middle school years. This March I will finally get to ...

05.15.09Green DayI don’t know what it is, but I still like to buy CDs. I couldn’t tell you the last time that I actually put one in a CD player and played it though. Now days, they just get ripped and put in the closet. Today the piece of plastic I bought was the new Green Day CD. My Green Day tickets also came in the mail today. I have seen them once before, and it was the best concert ever. I had tickets last time they were suppose to place Fargo, but they canceled. ...

05.01.09First of MayWell, it's the first of May already. It's the day when I listen to one of my favorite Jonathan Coulton songs. It's also No Pants Day. So if you're wearing pants take them off.

03.17.09Where is the Good MusicMaybe I am just getting old or something, but music lately has really sucked. I haven’t really found anything good lately. The Forever the Sickest Kids album was pretty good. I like the new Sing it Loud, Jack’s Mannequin, and Punchline albums, but I haven’t found anything super amazing is quite some time. The one amazing album that I have discover the past year has been Amanda Palmer’s Who Killed Amanda Palmer. For some strange reason I didn't check it out right when it came out. I wasn’t a huge Dresden Dolls fan, so I ...

02.20.09What Happened to Good MusicToday would have been Kurt Cobain’s 42nd birthday. It’s crazy that he has been dead for 15 years already. During my junior year of high school this album with a naked baby on it came out. A lot of people didn’t understand it, but I totally got it. It was something different. I totally related to it and it changed my life. That tape was pretty much glued into my tape deck. Not a bad song on it. There isn’t even a mediocre song on it. All were and still are great in ...

02.09.09Grammys SuckI am a big music fan, but most of the stuff I listen to isn't all that popular. I am kind of clueless when it comes to "mainstream" music. I never listen to music on the radio because most of it is crap. I found out on Twitter that the Grammys were on last night. I couldn't care less to see them. First of all I hate all awards show, and second, I probably don't know much about anybody involved in the awards anyway. On another musical note, I have had this damn song stuck in ...

02.03.09Amanda PalmerSo have known who Amanda Paler is for quite some time. I never thought to check out her solo album because I was never much of a fan the Dresden Dolls. Today I heard my first Amanda Palmer song and fell in love with it. I think I will be getting her solo album and looking in the Dresden Dolls a little more. Here is the video for the song I heard. Pretty awesome, but something tells me that if MTV played videos these days, they wouldn't play this one. **Update** It's been an Amanda Palmer day for me today. I ...

01.23.09The Water is so Yellow, I’m a Healthy StudentI have been bad at listening to music lately. I have a stack of CDs that I haven’t listened to yet. I have MP3s that I have bought that I haven’t listened to yet. It’s been a while since I have fell in love with a new band. I must be getting old. A few days ago I came across an awesome cover of the Nirvana song “Drain You” by Straylight Run. I have been a fan of them since the band was formed when John Nolan left Taking Back Sunday. You can ...

10.10.08New Motion City Soundtrack VideoA new Motion City Soundtrack video came out today. It is for the acoustic version of "Fell In Love Without You". It's pretty cool seeing Minnesota license plates on the cars. I am guessing the video was shot by a lake somewhere in Minnesota. "Fell In Love Without You" video I can never get enough of this band. I have seen them six times, and can't wait to see them again. Last time we saw them we got to meet the lead singer Justin, and I took a picture of him with my wife, remember? I ...

10.09.08Weird Al’s Newest SongSo if you haven't heard, Weird Al is going to be releasing his songs online now as he completes them instead of saving them up for an album. Here is his newest song. Supposedly it's a parody, but I have never heard the original. Is the original a popular song? I have no idea. I am a big music fan, but I have no idea with what is going on with mainstream music. In fact I don't think I have ever heard the original from Weird Al's last hit "White & Nerdy", which I think is ...

10.03.08Crazy CD PricesSo I finally got out and picked up the new Jack's Mannequin CD today. I swear the record companies are pushing everybody to piracy, or at least online downloads. $18 for a CD is crazy. If it wouldn't have been Jack's Mannequin I would have gotten it online instead. Some bands I just have to have the CD, others I download from Amazon, and if it's a band that I don't know much about, but want to hear them, I will torrent it. Then if I like it I buy it, and if not, I ...

09.26.08Punchline “The Hit”My newest CD is from one of my favorite bands Punchline. They just released their first video off of the album. I thought I would share the love here. Enjoy!

09.07.08We BelieveI love The Hush Sound. I have all their CDs and I have seen them in concert twice. I saw this video a couple days ago and can't get this song out of my head.
