Music.

So when in bloggdom doubt... post about music.

I'm not much for giving long scathing reviews but I will venture to make a list of what I've been listening to lately.

Third Eye Blind's album Ursa Major - I'm not a die hard fan of 3EB but I've been known to jam to one of their songs when I'm needing a bit of a late 90's flash back. And I probably wouldn't have given the album a chance at all if Remington hadn't told me that it was pretty good. And what do you know? The kid knows what he's talking about. Sharp knife and Bonfire are two noteworhty tracks. However, the opening track Don't Believe A Word is a bit of a Say Anything rip off. But hey, I'm sure a lot of people will like it.

A Fine Frenzy's album One Cell In The Sea - This is a band that had a free download on itunes a while back and it didn't really get my attention. The single 'You Picked Me' didn't seem to have a lot of strengths in either music or lyrics but they have some good stuff.

Paramore's Brand New Eyes - Not much of a diviation from their last album Riot! but it's a very solid album. I find that I like the ones that are a little bit newer for them (or maybe an older style) like 'You're The Exception' and 'Misguided Ghost'. This isn't my default style of music when I go for the ipod but it certainly has it's place on any MP3 player.

Kent's album Isola - Of course most of you know that Kent is a staple band for me at pretty much any time but my drug of choice is Hagnasta Hill but lately Isola has really been hitting the spot. Now there is a sweedish and an english version of this album so if you're going to check it out obviously you should get the english version, unless of course you have mad bilingual skills and can speak sweedish :-). 'The Things She Said and Elvis are great tracks.

Good Old War - Ok to be honest my cousin Collin had mentioned them and I wasn't really sure if it was worth the $$ to buy their stuff on itunes so I used limewire to check out some of their stuff. And I have to say I approve. But I don't really know how to describe them... so if you're looking for new music go check them out!

Ingrid Michaelson's album Be Ok - Very light fun album. Somewhere in the genre of Feist and Regina Spektor. She has a couple of good covers and the title track is pretty great.

Muse's new album The Resistance - Honestly I was hoping for more. I'm a huge Muse fan but I just can't give a very good review on this one. Undisclosed Desires is pretty great and a few others are ok, but the rest of the tracks really aren't even worth having, they annoy me. The Exogenesis symphonies are impressive but I would rarely be in the mood to listen to them.

Anyway, that's what I've been into lately. Any music I should listen to?
