I would like to start off this journal with a few notes of appreciation, seeing as how I don't often have anything nice to say about people/things. I think that, as an artist, I should try to support the art I enjoy, whether it be visual or musical. Maybe in some crazy way, karma will reward me for it in the end-- who knows.


Anyhoo, lately I have been listening to music on [link]

Pandora does this cool thing where you make a channel of a band you like, and it links you to other bands that are similar, whether it be through instruments or music genre.

I discovered these bands, each of which have some pretty cool videos on youtube...
=================
KILL HANNAH -- These guys are pretty awesome. They have an album out called "Until There's Nothing Left of Us" which contains the following songs:

"Lips Like Morphine" [link]

and "Love You to Death" [link] which is my all-time favorite song at the moment.
=========================
THE OUTLINE --- What I love about these guys is the diversity of their songs on one album.

"Death to Our Enemies" [link] is awesome because of its retro style video and sound.

"Why We're Better Now" [link] Is a rather sad song that'll make you remember all the years throughout your life.

And "Shotgun" is just.... cool. No music video for this song, but there IS a kickass stick fighter animation done to it! Check it out! [link]
========================================

SOCALLED --- Jewish music? Yeah, check out this video. Trippy!

"You are Never Alone" [link]

=====================================

SUPER FURRY ANIMALS --- Yeah, a name that ALL FA people should like, right? THBBBT!! But yeah, this video rocks. I love the tank designs and stuff.

"It's Not the End of the World" [link]

=====================================

THE SLEEPING --- A lot of these guys' songs kinda sound the same, but I really like their song

"Don't Hold Back" [link]

Yeah.... I know... WHY does that dude have the phone piece? WHY does he have it? And WHY doesn't he do anything with it? ..... AND WHY IS THERE A STUPID DANCING BLINDFOLDED BITCH SPASMING BESIDE THE LEAD SINGER?? Who the FUCK was that, the producer's girlfriend?? GET her the FUCK out of there!!!

Fuck that video's dumb... here.. watch the stick figure fight to make up for it...

=========================================

BRANDSTON -- These guys are awesome. I been looking for their CD, but can't seem to find it in stores.

Their video "Mexico" [link] is pretty cool. OMG FURSUITERS!!

"Earthquakes and SHarks" [link] is an awesome song, but there ain't any good videos for it

Finally, their song "Nobody Dances Anymore" [link] is fucking awesome! If this song doesn't get you moving in some way, I feel fucking sorry for you.

========================================

WE ARE SCIENTISTS -- These guys are pretty cool. In their one video

"Nobody Move, Nobody Get Hurt" [link] is PROOF THAT FURSUITERS ARE DANGEROUS!!!

===============================

TALLY HALL --- Okay, this video may mess you up... but check it out anyway

"Banana Man" [link]oGuoXuLmsk

Directions... [link] LOL!!
=====================

So yeah, if you like any of this stuff, PLEASE buy their music in a store or online. Then they'll make more stuff for our amusement, and I will have something to smile about.....

Fuck, this journal is too long... I'll save all the rest of the shit I gotta say later.

HAHA
