*points at last post*
Fandom. Writing fan fic. Reading. Listening to music, seeing live shows. In keeping with that, here, have a list.
Them Crooked Vultures - This is what I thought QoTSA was going to sound like. I flailed IRL and on Twitter when I saw them live, and the album totally lived up to the hype.
Cobra Starship, Hot Mess - I expected to be disappointed by this album, but I wasn't, even though I like the first half far more than the back half. It's slick on the surface, but still, every time I hear the lyrics, I think &GABE;
Weezer, Raditude - Rivers Cuomo. That is all.
The Used, Artwork - I just like to listen to this one. &dirty boys;
The New Heathers, The Fuel The Fire The Spark - :DD Never even took this CD out of my car. In fact, I think it hasn't left the CD player since I bought it last month after their show in Austin.
Green Day, 21st Century Breakdown - This could have been a letdown after the success of American Idiot, but it managed to be anthemic and entertaining at the same time.
Indigo Girls, Poseidon & The Bitter Bug - I never took this out of my car long enough to upload it into iTunes. I love the plugged in disc just as much as I love the acoustic one.
Dashboard Confessional, Alter The Ending - Um, I sort of like the acoustic disc better. But I'm a fan of their Unplugged more than the rest of their body of work, so that probably isn't a surprise.
Muse, The Resistance - Not a surprise to anyone, right? MARCH 18. TOYOTA CENTER. :D
Pearl Jam, Backspacer - I have not been wowed by Pearl Jam's last few albums. Ten and Vs were my favorites. But this one, yeah.
Mostly I'm amused that what I think was the best in terms of lyrics and content doesn't necessarily match what was played most frequently on my iPod over the last year. Heh. I guess I really play a fair amount of music from CDs in the car during my commute and at home when I'm writing or reading or vegging, and what I want in my ears to keep me perky and happy at work isn't necessarily what I'll listen to later.
