Daughtry - Good or Great?

I just purchased the Daughtry album. I knew him back in the days when he was "Chris Daughtry" - that is the days when he was on American Idol. While I realize that this love of his album is fleeting, there is a lot to be said about a good immediate gratification pop album. Isn't that what the Beatles and Elvis were? Or American Bandstand? Why do we gotta hate on Daughtry?

The album is good. Really good. And I don't care if you stop caring about my opinion, because deep down inside you are just to scared to admit that you actually like his album too.

Don't even get me started on jtlake right now...

Tokyo Police Club

Best new band of this week, at least.

Check out Tokyo Police Club - The Nature of the Experiment.

An upbeat indie rock band that I would like to hang out in a photobooth with.

One life

Today I was driving home from church and I heard the Mary J Blige/U2 version of U2's "One".

I think I hated this performance at the Grammy's - but in the quirky way music works, today it drove me to tears.

The lyrics are so powerful. They never look as powerful on the page as they sound in the song.

See:
"Did I ask too much?
More than a lot.
You gave me nothing,
Now it's all I got
We're one
But we're not the same
Well we
Hurt each other
Then we do it again
You say
Love is a temple
Love a higher law
Love is a temple
Love the higher law
You ask me to enter
But then you make me crawl
And I can't be holding on
To what you got
When all you've got is hurt"

Not as powerful as in the song. But powerful nonetheless.

I hate being so on top of things

Now the Amy Winehouse song is FREE on itunes this week.

And I bought it two weeks ago for .99 cents. Why isn't that my job to pick the cool track? Or can someone please alert me?

This happens almost weekly that I already own the itunes free single of the week.

GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

how can i blog when youtube is down?

So I had such inspiration after watching the Thermal's video for "A Pillar of Salt" that I wanted to post it to my blog. But freaking youtube is down right now..

And none of you will google it. So this is a reminder to post it later.

It is anniversary meets the rentals, meets outrageous fun.

I want to get into a paint fight. Immediately.

My first comic!

So, I decided to start doing a music based comic strip - hopefully once I get a mac I can create a better one, but here is the first installation of "Electronic Perfection" - Enjoy the travels of Zach and Coupland the robot....

fun lyric of the day

Oh girl, it's true
I can never be away from you
It's like you gloss your lips with glue
Oh we kiss and I am stuck to you

- hellogoodbye, "stuck to you"
