I've been discovering a lot of wonderful new music the past few weeks. One of the wonderful things about Pandora and Last.fm is that they don't exclusively play artists that are very well known, so when I typed in MJ to get some Billie Jean going, some really cool bands started popping up. One thing lead to another, and now I'm listening to a bunch of bands I didn't know, and a few I did. Adding these new bands to my summer playlist that already had some great material on it, I'm pretty much set until September.
Wow. Old Kings of Leon came on my Pandora right now. I know this because I have three of their albums. I'm not going to say that I discovered them long before the Radio did, but I knew them well before anyone could sing along to their music in the bars...which it never got played in. (The Ting Tings, however, I've been listening to for the past year, and I'm getting tired of the fact that Sex on Fire and That's Not my Name are on severe repeat in the bars)
I currently can't get enough of "The Whitest Boy Alive", a collaborative work between several members of several bands, but I like them. The Kings of Convenience lead singer is their vocalist, so they're very familiar to me.
Rescue Me
This show never ceases to amaze me. The amount of "don't go there" subject matter that they are able to cover is absolutely ridiculous. From world views on 9/11 to Alcoholism to dead parents and dead children. With the exception of the alcoholism, I find myself relating to Tommy Gavin a lot more than I wish I was, but a lot of the time, I feel the same way he does about things...except when he doesn't get something or backs himself into a corner. That's just funny.
I'm going to a Cubs-Cardinals Friday afternoon. Exciting stuff.
I leave for a four-week trip to Massachusetts on Saturday. Even more Exciting. I'm already packed.
So why am I just going through all the motions? Why don't I feel excited? It's a question for another day to answer...I need some sleep.
