Morning. This pick put me in a predicament, (I spelled predicament right the first time, im so proud) it was a random song that I don’t have the cd for. Kinda a stand alone. So I think im just gonna find songs that fit the same description and rate them, while not having a cd to rate.

A+= legen- wait for it- dary, among the best songs I have ever heard

A= awesome

B= pretty good,

Average is somewhere in here.

C= below average

D= forgettable

F= don’t bother

1. help im alive, metric- this song is new for me, just got it Sunday, so I don’t think ive heard it before. I like the drum intro, the transition to the chorus is groovy, kinda psychedelic (my spelling is apparently really good today). I like it better once it gets to the catchy guitar and better singing, around 1:21 in, but it kinda gets back to the mneh that it was before. Not too nuts about the chorus itself. Its kinda like a rollercoaster, its got its up and downs. But no loops, so I guess its like a yo yo, it went back to the good part, but it followed with a longer transition which I liked, and a strong finish. The end kinda salvaged it, B-
2. bound to the floor, local h- this song was stuck in my head yesterday. I love the beat and the straight forward guitar at the beginning, and it uses the word copasetic. Not only does it use that word, but it also rhymes it. I enjoy the chorus, it breaks out into a heavier guitar and drums. The second time through is ok, the harmony doesn’t work as well as it does with other songs. And it fades out, overall, I enjoy this song. B+
3. big bang theory theme, bnl- it’s a typical theme song. Though I like how it starts at the beginning of time. I like the jump to a hyper and fast song. I think it’s a really good theme song, and they made a rhyme of Australopithecus, just for that it gets a B+.
4. fortunate son, ccr- I like the beat in the beginning, and the guitar sounds cool. I love how some car company was using it to be patriotic when its just a protest to the draft. I really like the voice that goes with this song. It fits in really well. Overall it’s a pretty good song, happy I have it. B
5. fuck you im drunk, flogging molly- I find this song hilarious. It sounds like its being sung by drunks. I think it makes it funnier, especially lines like “pour my beer down the sink, ive got more in the trunk” and “and im going to be drunk til the next time im drunk.” overall, its good for a laugh, if not for any real music value. It is catchy though. B
6. spider in my room, bnl- the beginning is cool with a nice beat and tribal like chanting. Its another one of those really goofy songs. Its not my favorite bnl song, but it is still fun, and it brings up the old wives tale about how killing spiders make it rain. I also like the strum that goes with it. Overall, good good. B
7. let it rain, living things- one of the free songs from zune, I enjoy the guitar strum, not too nuts about the melody, picks up at the chorus, overall, im not too impressed, average. C+
8. hollaback boy, cobra starship- I wrote off this song at first for just being what it is. It is not my favorite song ever, but I have to give it props for making fun of holla back girl. Especially when it makes fun of the whole spelling thing “s-u-p-e-r-c-a-l-a-f-r-a-g-a… what.” Still always makes me laugh, but overall, not a big fan. C
9. Johnny b goode, chuck berry- absolute classic. I love what it has done for music and its an awesome song overall, it has great guitar, and even piano. Even in the midst of the racism way back then people could see that this was an amazing song. Especially when it comes to the solo. It always picks me up when I hear it. A
10. shine, collective soul- another song I love. Especially the guitar in it, between the cool strum that goes on in the verses, and the transition is awesome. Especially the well placed yeahs. And the bridge, absolutely amazing. Especially the guitar solo. God, it comes out of nowhere and leaves just as fast as it came. Im kinda disappointed it didn’t last longer. Overall, as I said, I love this song, A
11. non-dairy creamer, third eye blind- I love the beat at the beginning, just the bass drum going with a cool pick going on in the background. I also like that they bring up some violin. I also like that its catchy. And of course the heavier bridge. overall, I enjoy the song. I got to see it in concert. And it was epic. A-
12. im not over, Carolina liar- fun strum, like the guitar that is added in towards the beginning, again, like the pick up towards the chorus. Not too nuts about the voice. the melody’s there. But it has potential to get stuck in my head. Overall its ok, B-
13. birdhouse in your soul, they might be giants- after you get past the mumbling and the mess of the beginning, it goes back to the goofy fun that is they might be giants. I enjoy the keyboard going on in the background. The trumpet is kinda irritating. I might have rated it better if I knew the lyrics, and could pick out good lines, but I cant, this is the first time im listening to it. I heard something about killing off Jason. And Argonauts. B+.

so that was fun, ill keep this list handy for when I get stuck with another random song. Fun fun. enjoy

Good morning again, another cd review, todays review will be broken bride by ludo. Ludo, one of the bands I got into very randomly. Walking through fye I discovered I had a $50 gift certificate for strawberrys, but they are now fye, so that worked in my favor, either way, grady convinced me to try them, now theyre part of my normal repertoire. Anywho, broken bride is their rock opera. Genius’ wife is killed and he makes a time machine to go back and saves her, and he goes too far, and hes with dinosaurs, though no dinosaurs are actually mentioned, pteradactyals are not technically dinosaurs, I forget the reasoning, then he goes to the future to just in time to prevent the zombie apocalypse. Fun fun.

A+= legen- wait for it- dary, among the best songs I have ever heard

A= awesome

B= pretty good,

Average is somewhere in here.

C= below average

D= forgettable

F= miley cyrus

1. pt. 1, broken bride. Really enjoy the beginning. I also enjoy the first line “15 years I race against the constant c, the speed of light” sets it up nicely. I really like the beat and drums in this one. gotta give it props for using the word pterodactyls. And the bridge is a contrast, though im not too nuts about it. Though I like how it ends. Song break. And the way they break into the chorus and the way its carried out is awesome. Nice use of moog. And it ends. A-
2. save our city. I like how it works into the cd as a whole. It kinda sets the stage for later in the cd with it being an opera and such. Not quite catchy, but good none the less. And credit for having zombies in it. The beat with the guitar and drum working together is ok. It also has a suicide. Fun fun. Not quite a happy song. I really like the zombie vocal part. You get the picture that it’s a giant hoard. And the snare drum works with it. And the build up to the inspirational speech (come on, losing a war to zombies, there has to be at least one) is just phenomenal, with “save our city” the zombie hoard working together, tied together with the instruments, and the inspiring part works right in. and it includes the phrase “anything can be a weapon if your holding it right.” Enjoyable. One of those songs I can rock out to. Though the end is kinda lacking, the voices kinda drag and take forever. Followed by the bell or gong or whatever. Overall, great song. A-
3. pt 2. tonight’s the night. I like the guitar that goes through the song. And a good transition from verse to chorus. And I also like the moog in the verse. Enjoyable solo. I also like the ending. It builds the character well. Overall, its pretty good. Shorter than the other songs, but sometimes less is more. Either way B+.
4.  pt 3, lamb and the dragon. Love the beginning to this song. Kick ass guitar. And the voices. Then it breaks heavy metal, just to kick to a more country kind of guitar. It’s a really good mix. And it breaks again to heavy just in time for the chorus. And of course the whistle solo. You just cant have a cd without one of those. And after verse 2 it goes to a kick ass guitar solo. And slows to a stop… and turns back up again to make it seem like some kind of epic battle, or some epic creature has come upon us. And then the way it ends gives a satisfying end, the solo that is. The songs still going. It’s a slower part, but it throws back to the melody of the first song, with I like, it works well with that part. So up to this part, it’s an A. then it goes into the slow boring part. I can see how it is necessary for the opera, but its so long and drawn out. If it were a song by its self, it would be a C, but its still does not completely nullify the awesomeness that is the beginning of this song. And you can skip the end if you want, so im still giving it an A-.
5. pt 4. morning in may. Piano to begin. Slower, but works. It works well for the situation. Kinda touchy… sappy. But more touching than most sappy songs. It starts to pick up a little. Bridge is good. Ok, I really like the bridge. it gives the story a good conclusion. And it works well into a modified chorus. And it gives a satisfying conclusion to the story. Well I think it is anyway. And the rest of the song is kinda pointless. Not much to say about it. For some reason theres 2 minutes left, must just be the way the cd burned. B+

overall, I really like this cd, given that 3 out of 5 songs got an A- I think that’s pretty good. It really packs a punch for a cd with only 5 songs. So I shall give it an A-.

Good morning again, I have nothing better to do, therefore its time to review a cd. Go to the magic zune thinger and I get… maybe you should drive by the barenaked ladies.  It is my least favorite cd of my favorite band. I found this cd very hit and miss, if I remember correctly it has a which is one of my favorite songs, and it also has a lot of misses, which is weird for bnl. So, lets start at the beginning.

A+= legen- wait for it- dary, among the best songs I have ever heard

A= awesome

B= pretty good,

Average is somewhere in here.

C= below average

D= forgettable

F= jonas brothers

1. jane. This is one of the barenaked ladies better known songs. But for that, its not one of my favorites, its got a good melody, pretty pick in the background. The final product is pretty good, but that’s kinda low for bnl. However, I do appreciate the humor of them changing the verse up “still dazzled by her smile as I shopped there” “still dazzled by her smile as I shoplift there” B
2. intermittently. Nice beat. I enjoy the shift from lively upbeat to relaxed between verse and chorus. Im not too nuts about the melody. But again I enjoy the way they find rhymes. And it is incredibly sappy. And I enjoy the nice little strum at the end while the singer sings fast. B-
3. these apples. I really like the pick that goes at the beginning of this song. I enjoy the melody and it works well into the chorus. The bridge is kinda boring. It is slower and more empty. Not a fan. But its followed with a banjo solo. And come on, it’s a banjo. And they play out rather well. A-
4. you will be waiting. Slower. Very melodic. I can like some of their slower songs like war on drugs or when I fall, but this is putting me to sleep. It seems in the lyrics are rambling, and again incredibly sappy. Gets a bit more lively in the bridge, but it is still putting me to sleep. C+
5. A. I really like this song. The percussion, the strum, the lyrics. Its all awesome. Some lyrics “A is for algebra I learned it is school, a is what fonzie said cause he was very cool… A is for arousal youre giving me the erection, im trying to show affection for longer than a half an hour” and of course it has the random song stop at the end of the last verse, but I enjoy those. A
6. everything old is new again. It has a nice beat, I like that it builds towards the chorus. And woodwinds and trumpets add a nice touch. I like the melody. I think im finding a theme. A lot of really sappy songs. All of them have been so far, its just some do it better than others. This does an ok job. B
7. there is a song missing here, alternative girlfriend, I must have not gotten it because its on another cd I had already ripped, a review for another day.
8. am I the only one. this song is a bit scratched, I think I might have to go to youtube and see if I can find it there. If not than I shall give it the grade from what I can remember about it… success. Its in the bathroom sessions on youtube. Interesting strum. Very slow. Again, incredibly sappy. Amazing transition from verse to chorus. I think this is another bnl meh. B-
9. little tiny song. Nice little ditty. I find it hilarious. Theres not much to say, its just piano and vocals. And a minute long. But its entertaining to listen to the lyrics “hey im a cow, im curious, hey watch me now im furious, hey im a cow im full of hate, hey watch me now im on your plate” A-
10. life in a nutshell. One of the sappiest songs that I absolutely love. Upbeat. It has much piano that works well. I love the melody and the chorus is awesome. Amazing lyrics. And its something I can relate to, specifically “its not that easy cause my time is often decided for me.” overall, one of my favorite barenaked ladies songs. A (borderline +)
11. the wrong man was convicted. Slower, mostly guitar pick and vocals at the beginning, but it has nice use of cymbal. Probably the best done out of the slower songs on this cd. I like the use of snare drum in the middle. Its cool. Overall, I like upbeat songs better, but this was well done. B+
12. Great provider. I love the guitar pick that goes with this song. Nice vocal harmony used at the end of the first verse and in the second verse. I also like the line “where does the time go when its not around here” I like what they do with the keyboard in this song. A-

Overall, very sappy, very hit and miss. Happy it got better toward the end. On the borderlind of B and B+, but it’s a B+ because if I included alternative girlfriend it would have been no question. B+

Good morning and welcome. I have decided to start reviewing random cds, I shall let my zune player on my computer go on random to choose a cd. A few ground rules. I will never use the word emo to describe music. I do not get the concept or the sound, it was never explained to me. Not well anyway. All anyone told me was it is whiney emotional music, which can be used to describe a lot. Music in and of itself tends to be emotional. Therefore the term emo is kind of irrelevant. I will review based on how I feel about the music as im listening to it, theres no other way to do it. So I could hate a cd now and love it later, it’s the way it works. Enjoy.

A+= legen- wait for it- dary, among the best songs I have ever heard

A= awesome

B= pretty good,

Average is somewhere in here.

C= below average

D= forgettable

F= rap

The first cd is going to be the spiderman 2 soundtrack. I remember this cd, and I don’t know why I have it. I don’t remember thinking I especially needed it, so ill just write it off as jen picking it up randomly.  Either way, i have 13 tracks. Enjoy.

1. vindicated- dashboard confessional, I know, I should be ashamed, I have a dashboard song. Im not generally nuts about any of their music, but there are a few good ones. This one is kind of ordinary. Good beat, I enjoy the chorus. Overall it ranks above most dashboard, which is average. I shall give it a B- .

2. ordinary- train, I like train better. This song is ok. The chorus is kind of long and drawn out, but the bridge sounds cool. I like how its heavy and then breaks into a light piano part. Its not as good as I remember it being. Oh well. B-.

      3. did you- hoobastank, Oh god. Not getting a good feeling about this. Hated the reason, cant remember this song. Well onward we shall go. Starts with bass. Not too bad. not as bad as I was expecting, but I havnt gotten to the chorus yet. Ok, this song is pretty good. Ill take it. Something I can rock to. I like the sound of the weird guitar solo. No matter how short. I shall give credit where it is due. Not all hoobastank stinks. B.

4. hold on- jet. Looking forward to this. I enjoy jet, but then again, I was dreading hoobastank, so it could still fall either way. Nice guitar in the beginning. Not so heavy. A nice in between of “cold hard bitch” and “look what you’ve done.” Nice beat throughout. Not quite the rock out song, but not all songs need to be to be good. B+

5. gifts and curses- yellowcard, not nuts about yellowcard, but not saying they suck either. Ill give them credit for actually using a violin. On to the song. Liking the guitar pick that is going in the background. Enjoying the chorus. I like the transition to chorus, it’s a cool heavy guitar strum, and builds from there. And a slow piano break in the middle. With violin of course. It builds to a heavier break, I like that part better. Overall, not bad. B

6. woman- maroon 5. not nuts about them, here we go.  Funky beat. Im not liking the voice, and there is no guitar. And the woooooahaoohohoaaaaaaaooos I am not a fan of. I suppose not being a fan of that goes with not being a maroon 5 fan. Luckily for them, a good beat gets a fair amount with me. Ok, not taking another minute of the moaning, C-.

7 this photograph is proof- taking back Sunday. I cant remember any of their songs off the top of my head. Yay for being unbias. Liking the drum and guitar at the beginning, but then the lyrics start. Eh its not that bad, but not that good either. The voice that is. I think It sound better in the chorus, but overall it is eh. Outside the voice though, I enjoyed the song, B

8 give it up- midtown. Never heard of them. Like the beginning. The guitar and bass work well together. Catchy chorus. Im enjoying it. Then it goes to the bridge. Piano and vocals. I like it. And then the guitar takes over. Or that’s what im paying attention to, just imagining the pretty colors coming at me. Haha, overall, I really liked it. A-

9 lucky you- lostprophets. Kinda looking forward to this. Hooray. Sounds like lostprophets. In the guitar, vocals, drums. Defiantly on par with every other lostprophets song. Not including the songs on fake sound of progress, which blew. Good guitar heavy bridge. Keeping the beat. And of course the random screaming. Eh. Like the rest of the song. A-

10 who am i- smile empty soul. Heard of them, don’t know them. Like the vocals at the beginning. Heavier chorus. I really like the guitar pick going with it. Not much else to say. Not too bad. pretty good even. B

11. the night that the lights went out in nyc- the ataris. Again the good guitar pick at the beginning. Works well in the cd as a whole, but not to sure about the song itself. Everything about this song is rather average. Nothing standing out as good or bad. ill just give it a C+.

12. we are- ana. No knowledge. A female vocalist. A rare site in my zune. Liking how its being pulled off. Really like the heavier chorus, as contrasted by the lighter verses. I approve of the voice. Not exactly happy with the bridge. But it quickly goes back to what the whole song has been. B+

13. someone to die for- Jimmy Gnecco feat. Brian May. Don’t know them, but I remember the song not being bad. lighter beginning. Slow with a piano. Vocals are good. For being one of the slower songs, im enjoying. There is not much in way of guitar, but what guitar there is is rather effective. Wait, heres some more. Defiantly picked up a bit. And a solo. Good good. B+

Overall, the cd has a few pitfalls, a few high points, but a lot of the same. Well, I suppose an overall B will work for me, its not like this counts for anything. Any questions comments or concerns can be put at the bottom, again, judging these based what im feeling about it now. If you read this, thanks, if not, than I don’t blame ya. Don’t hurt yourself or others. Comment if you want to be tagged on these, I have a lot of time and will probably do more. Enjoy.

[	Rock on	|	"the beginning of the end" guster	]

yes, one more of the 66 seals of the apocolypse has been broken. (sorry for anyone who didnt get the reference, watch supernatural) 
ill get to that later. ill just sum up the week first, because everyone cares so much, im sure. 
it looked to be a god awful week to start. woke monday. one of those mornings where i just didnt want to get up more than usual. i worked. got to hope commons to see one of my groupmates for a com project typing furiously. so then we get talking about how we had to present that day. so i stayed and skipped my first class. after working on this speech for my 2 hours at work and 4 after, i finally had to put it into practice. it didnt go too badly. then i hung at hope commons again, and decided to skip ethics. it was a review day. i didnt miss anything. i then went to a film genres class to watch blade runner. i need to finish that movie. it was good. tuesday. woke up an hour earlier than normal so i could finish an archaeology paper. chilled, hist of jazz, another review. arg. last uri 101 class. yay. hung with josh. yay. went back to the dorm. and wednesday came. ssdd. ethics exam, eh. wednesday went. thursday ssdd, jazz exam, then, because tv  rules my life, supernatural, then went to my sisters to watch walle. disproved my theory that a g movie can never amount to anything, but it may have been made better by the insertion of the discussion that ensued. that was rather entertaining. friday. volcanoes, com, ethics. all boring. went to gradys for a party. heres the sign of the apocolypse. i was social at a party. well, you may not be that surprised, but im surprised as hell. being social was a new experience and i rather liked it. im not so sure if i can replicate it though, because i am dan. but i find it was a good way to make more friends. so, i got to dance and watch the end of sweeny todd and walle. yup, i watched walle twice in 2 days. and by 3 or 4 we were all talking about hobos wearing perfume. that was another rather entertaining conversation. i decided i was far too tired to drive back to the dorm, so i crashed on the floor. i didnt get to sleep till like 5, and woke up around either 9 or 10. and then beads were being strung. i ended up with 2 bracelets that say nom and virus. im happy with it. i made one that said glass, but i gave that away. so i made my way back to my dorm around 12. and caught up on the sleep i missed. and now im just chillin in my dorm, sorry if the sign of the apocolypse was a disappointment, but it surprised me. enjoy.

"now, i think thats robot sex" one of the various comments on walle.

[	Where am I?	|	dorm	]
[	it doesnt take a shrink to see im	|	energetic	]

ok, maybe not, but im in a good mood anyway. so i woke up this morning, and showered and shaved and brushed my teeth.
ate breakfast, actually talked to someone at the dining hall. my god.
went back to my dorm. saw that nothing is on for the time being.
decided to go to the quad to read, but fell into a walking conversation, and ended back at weldin. so it was just a walk halfway there and back. but i dont care, it was a good conversation.
the monster truck stoped out side weldin. they were giving away monster. the energy drink. and i love it when advertising ploys fail, because i tried a free monster and i found it very sweet and not all that good, but i do have a ton of energy as of now. but if i want that effect, then ill buy one that tastes good.
boston won last night.
tampa lost last night
the sox are only 2.5 back now.
we still have a chance to take the east
theres a bus to the providence place mall later today, i might take it.
i dont think i remember ever having this much energy to burn. typing isnt really burning all that much of it. but i am typing rather rapidly. not that you can tell the speed of my typing. but take my word for it.
oh, i took a survey on bloging. that was fun.
i think im gonna find other stuff to do online... oh wait, maybe the gh tournament is still going on at the union, ill check that out. enjoy.

before going to the union, someone imed me, i think by mistake, but it was funny enough to make my whole day. so, i changed the qotd to the opening line of that im. enjoy
