They say music makes the world turn

Or at least I just said it... I find when I'm living alone and don't have friends just a fire escape away, I spend more time listening to music. Not just playing it and tapping my toes, but actually like listening, man. I mean, so much of what we hear we don't listen to. Right there I tried to post like a stoner.

Anyways, I'm on a rampage! I've been downloading non-stop lately. I'm taking a course on U2 this spring, so I'm trying to get their discography. Someone in Glacier Hall had some sweet tunes, so I jacked over a hundred. Trace Bundy I strongly recommend. He does nothing but guitar, and it sounds so good. I also downloaded some Postal Service and The Shins for when I feel like pretending to be indie. Another one I picked up was Bedouin Soundclash, which is reggae influenced to the max. A change from Bono or someone who hates their dad. I also hit up some Miles Davis.

Speaking of hating your dad (i don't), I got tickets to the Dashboard Confessional and City and Colour concert. I do like Dashboard, but I think the main reason was the rave reviews City and Colour got from the Phil and Levi show. I downloaded some and it's acoustic, with some acoustic blues. It sounds pretty good so far, and I'm pretty stoked on it. The only thing is, almost every song is named something to do with blades, blood, or cutting. I don't cut myself, nor do I want to, so I wonder if I'll be able to relate?

Buying tickets was sorta fun too. The emo was so apparent I felt like I should start crying or something. Lots of teen angst waiting to buy the tix. Most of these kids were waiting outside ticketmaster (which was open). I walked in like I owned the place, which I should, and wielding my coffee mug I waited in line. Then the line waited behind me. Not sure why they were outside, maybe their dad worked for ticketmaster and they didn't want to see him...

Anyways, damn the service charge on tickets ($8 ya bastards). I'll close with this, I wish my grass were emo so it would cut itself.
