Fighting In a Sack

Because that's what it feels like sometimes...

I had one heck of a weekend-- not really. I didn't do anything really.

Thankfully, don't have class today, which is cool. I'm not sure what I'm going to do today other than work. I'm at work right now. We're still listening to the 70's station on our satellite radio. I hate "Stayin' Alive." I've heard it so much that I think I've got it memorized by now.

Speaking of crappy music, Blender just released their list of the 50 Worst Songs Ever. I'm all for informing the public of what songs not to listen to, but this is the worst list ever of crappy songs. I agree with them on some of their choices (i.e. "My Heart Will Go On"), but The Beatles' "Ob-La-Di-Ob-La-Da"? Simon & Garfunkel's "Sounds of Silence"? These songs are classics! How did these songs make the list? It doesn't make sense to me. I'm sure we can all think of at least 10 really crappy songs that did not make the list ("Mmmbop," "The Macarena," "The Sign"...), but should have. I would like to think that I have better musical tastes than these guys. I would never trust anyone at Blender to make me a mixtape. I'll post my own list of the 50 Worst Songs Ever later this week.

About some good music: I just "purchased" (I got it from iTunes using my free song credits, courtesy of Pepsi) Jump's (formerly known as Jump Little Children) new album Between the Dim & the Dark Saturday. I haven't been able to make it through the whole album yet, but what songs I have heard are amazing. The band's lead singer, Jay Clifford, has an awesomely unique voice (for an amazing display of Jay's talent, check out "Cathedral" from their "debut," Magazine). Jump is fast becoming one of my favorite bands. I'll post a full review of the album later.

Word.
