Today was a really great day of music. I made it through a ton of songs and hit on a bunch of songs that I really, really love. I'm now on 1,257 of 6,714.
I was surprised to find a really great cover of Phish singing "A Day In The Life" live. It was really well done, and you can hear the crowd singing along. It definitely put a smile on my face.
A discovery- I have two The Mars Volta CD's. Everything about The Mars Volta points to the fact that I should really enjoy them. They mix a lot of things in that I like about other bands- long songs with jams, horns, and interesting orchestration. However, every time I hit one of their songs I find myself just waiting for it to end. Right now I am litening to the 12 minute long "Day of the Baphomets." And. It. Just. Will. Not. End.
I talk quite a bit about R.E.M. I will talk about them even more as things go on. Today got to "Daysleeper," which is yet another amazing song by them.
Also, hit The White Stripes "Dead Leaves and Dirty Ground." The White Stripes are just an all around great rock duo and when this song came on it made me happy and bob my head. Nothing wrong with that.
"Dear Anonymous" by Juliana Hatfield came up today as well. I just find that interesting, because every time I hear her I think a little bit about My So-Called Life. I definitely like that show a little too much, and probably watch TV just a little too much.
Made it to "Debaser" by The Pixies which added to my good day of music- I really find myself digging the D's.
"A Decade Under The Influence" might be my favorite Taking Back Sunday tune. Lyrics like "Close your eyes, just settle," "My worst brings out the best in you," and "I've got a bad feeling about this" all (sadly) appeal to me.
