Just sit back and relax again

I am a self-proclaimed demo-fanatic. I seize every b-side, demo, bootleg, etc. I can wrap these talentless piano fingers around. So, with that being said, I've created a little playlist that creates a treasure hunt. I will list 9 tracks (weird number, I know) here and now that I've been spinning endlessly but are somewhat harder to find than your average album track. Your goal (if you choose to attempt it) is to find these 10 tracks. I will not give any hints but that I find ev

Because it's nine in the afternoon, and your eyes are the size of the moon!

Readers, I differ from most of the ME.com staff. A fair majority listen to Pitchfork-esque indie (not a slight, just a statement) while I tend for the more poppier side of the spectrum. I hype Jet Lag Gemini and Circa Survive (granted, Brian hyped Chiodos' disgusting sophomore s(hi)um(t)p (subliminal messaging) and Dennis likes Spoon and, I'm assuming, Radiohead. So beknownst to me, I know I can be assured of Dennis and Brian to say "This song is disgusting." Whatever. I'm a hipster

It's not a new thing, it's a closeted thing. No, no, no. I'm not gay. My dad would like to say that the music I listen to does in fact breed homosexuality--yet, I've never seen tangible proof of this so I think this means my dad hasn't a leg to stand on. My secret is that other then a deep-seeded passion for old Pokemon game emulators for the PC, I love electronica. There, I've said it. It's not remotely embarassing but for a person such as myself who emulates the persona of a post-hardcore/p

I've been gone a long time.

So, my life has been hectic. The job I've got has been straining my ass with my supervisor relying on me more and more. I don't think they realize I'm a teenage high school student with limited time. Regardless, they've been taking my time and I've thus neglected this site in the most unorthodox way ever. Fear not though, I'm planning a triumphant return. I had two reviews to post, however the new damned Admin area will not allow to post them. Even type them. Fuck technology. Fuck PHP. Fuck H

Well.

For the past two weeks, I lost access to internet, I've had a crazy work schedule, and I've spent most of my time either doing schoolwork or hanging out with the girlfriend, doing pretty much nothing or getting xrayed so much by her parents that'll I probably die of radiation poisoning in the near future. I went to my school's Improv Variety Show and wondered why these kids thought they were humorous and talented musicians and then watched my friend wipe the floor of them with

Basically, I'm exhausted even though I slept for about 10 hours. Honestly, I don't understand how that happened, how can I still be tired? God, this is a really bad. But, there are some plusses: 1) I don't work today. Joy to the world, the devil is quelled. 2) I get dressed up and serve foods and dance the night away as people wish they were elsewhere. 3) And I get slice of cake. I think helping ITS is a win win, folks. Free cake? Can you say Hallelujah? I can, hallelujah. Ea

Working and Chatting

So I missed my own review Friday, so on Tuesday, my day off from work I'll be reviewing the Dangerous Summer. I would today, but I've delayed homework enough. Work is a joyous place where I work solo stocking stuff from toothpaste to deteorogent. Then I traverse to the warehouse and organize it. Then I stock more shit. This cycle is more endless than the menstrual cycle and probably more frustrating--that's right, women, I jabbed at you and implied something is one-upping you. Pro

If you will, fellow staff and users, imagine I'm not a mean lean reviewing machine. It's not hard, is it? I haven't cranked out nearly as many reviews I'd like to over this past summer. Positively dreadful. So let me give you the run down on how my summer went and how the beginning of my year is going.

I started off the summer with getting fired from work. Apparently getting hit at work (not actually DOING the hitting, being the reciever) and being the bigger person

I am opinionated. I join the ranks of bloggers of the interwebs on August 21st. I will then imploy as much skill humanly possible to tell people how they themselves operate in modern day culture. I also think I know this. This is going to be interesting.

I don't go to many concerts. Mostly local ones with the bands forcing a demo into my hands. However, this year, I dedicated an entire day, quite literally to going to a concert and seeing a good majority of my favorite bands and being enticed by the ones I formerly wished would for the love of God just break up. Talking about you, Warped Tour, with your easily taken posters taped to trashcans to Victory Records booths with Bayside sitting signing every Bayside ornament I could push undern
