NO SPARTA?!!!!

That makes 300. I guess. I haven't mentioned how many posts I've made in the past (at least I can't recall doing so) so I don't see why this should be any different. Oh well. Let's try this.

Nope. I just fail at math.

A large list of albums that have affected my mental state for the worst accompanied by pretty album covers and comments and is in no specific order:


Arriving Alive - DESA

I live in Oakland. This is pretty Oakland. Pretty much still my favorite band and one of my favoritest records of all time. You can hear loud guitars and learn about Grand Avenue all in the same sitting.


Anything Else But The Truth - The Honorary Title

It's got one of favorite album covers ever. If you like folksy depressing love songs, this is the record for you.


Grace - Jeff Buckley

Jeff Buckley is the man. He's also got a pretty great cover of "Hallelujah" by Leonard Cohen.


Letting Off The Happiness - Bright Eyes

Do I really need to go on more about Conor Oberst? If you've been reading my blog, you know I fucking love this man. The music's not too bad either.


Charmingly Awkward - Street to Nowhere

So they aren't a band anymore. So maybe you can't stand Dave Smallen. But I can and that's all that matters. I have to say this album has kept me sane when I felt like I was really losing it.


Drugs To The Dear Youth - Tera Melos

Like to have your face ripped off? Like that math rock and roll? Question?! This record is solely responsible for me getting into instrumental bands.


Never Mind The Bollocks, Here's The Sex Pistols - Sex Pistols

If you google Sid Vicious or rabbit lock, I have one of those and I wear it all the time. That tells you how much I love this band and record.


Juturna - Circa Survive

OH EM GEE AMAZINGEST ALBUM EVER!? Anthony Green has one of the most amazing voices evar and writes some of the amazingest things evar!!!


Drunk Like Bible Times - Dear And The Headlights

I've listened to this album non-stop for the past few months and I've forced quite a few videos by this band onto you so you have to love them.


Illuminate - Lydia

I'm seeing them in like a week. Wanna come? Yea you do. Fly your ass into Oakland (unless you're already in Oakland) and we can all go to San Francisco! :D These comments have nothing to do with music anymore do they?


Doppelgänger - The Fall of Troy

DO YOU LIKE REALLY FAST GUITARS AND SCREAMING AND THINKING "HTF CRAZY VOCALS?!". Then go listen to this one.


Heartbreaker - Ryan Adams

My new favorite person in the entire world. Kinda. He's cool.


The Lost Lolli - OLIVIA

She looks all nice and cute and pretty, but that's really not what this album is about. It's actually kinda heavy and scary.Super experimental and not J-Poppy. I was obsessed with Olivia Lufkin (google that instead of OLIVIA) and I still kinda am. She's very good at this whole music thing.


Siamese Dream - Smashing Pumpkins

I've got a love-hate relationship with this band. I'm very vocal about it. That shouldn't stop you from trying to find this album and paying your monies for it.


Waxwane - Love You Moon

I went to a DESA concert and bought this from Matt Embree (the ring leader of this side project) who's like one of the nicest people ever. People like him make real music.


The Mother, The Mechanic, And The Path - The Early November

This album is like 40+ songs. Sure, 1/3 of it is like this weird conversation between a guy and his psychiatrist, but it's still a lot of music. A lot of good music. What I think is good music.


One Cell In The Sea - A Fine Frenzy

I own this album. Twice. I've waited in the cold wearing a fucking t-shirt and without a ticket to a show I wasn't sure was not sold out to go see her. I was THAT obsessed with this band. Not so much anymore, but it's definitely left a mark on me.


Hotel Paper - Michelle Branch

Hahaha. This is actually the first CD I ever bought. Back when I was still down with stuff like this. It's my guilty pleasure now.


Where You Want To Be - Taking Back Sunday

I still like them. A lot. "A Decade Under The Influence" has a special place somewhere inside my chest cavity. Maybe I should've said heart. Now I no longer seem cool to you. =/


Santi - The Academy Is...

Yea, I listen to this too. I own it actually.


Get Hot - Facing New York

Any album with a song called "Cops on Bikes" is worth listening to.

...

Okay. Fuck it. This is too much work. All this clicking and typing! :O

Wasn't that a great idea? Now you have to scroll hella and read about my bad music taste.
