hi ted leo will you be my best friend...

BAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!!!! me and amanda have officially missed out on what would have been the coolest concert ever. tonight ted leo was playing at a club in brooklyn doing this thing called indie rock karaoke. his band played a full set then another set right after of covers of some really cool songs BUT YOU CAN SING ONSTAGE WITH TED LEO. chiiiiild if i could ever be on a stage with ted leo even if it was doing bad karaoke i think i would pee myself. and another thing- it was hosted by andrew wk. wtf the man knows how to party and i wasnt there.

amanda, even if we had planned this earlier we still couldnt have gone i checked it was 21+. if it was 18 we maybe could have swung it but 21 nah. and it was a weeknight. and in the city. and i had to babysit. no playlist today in the honor of yesterdays being so awesome that i couldnt follow it with a better one.

btw my name is bam :)

~bye, bye love

chuck norris saw ted leo and shit his pants...

ive been thinking about how i always say omg this is one of my favorite songs! and i wanted to do a playlist with a big big list of all of them but i got kinda scared that after that id just have to keep updating it with things i forgot. same with favorite bands and albums. 

ted leo is amazing i want his record for christmas i love him...

WHAT?

my theory is that the beatles are the best band in the world because they are half dead and still fucking worshipped and that they are so good that you could not possibly go a day in the life (hehe) without hearing the word "beatles"/hearing one of their songs/seeing someone wearing a beatles tshirt. good theory yeah.

...stephen malkmus has some serious band hopping issues as does chris cornell and dave grohl but im not complaining... theres a million ways to be cruel... i looked up record players today... my dad apparently likes the new pink song... ?... im not getting to a playlist today am i...

you have to hear this band...

i need to say something that is really bothering me. i was one of the good people who bought the actual new coldplay album like the hard copy and not the download. its good for the most part btw. and i kind of love the song Lost! but i found that itunes was selling an acoustic version called Lost? so i triple checked my album and its not on there. so i had to buy it from itunes. itunes you suck.

and now i shall blog about indie. i came across a band called the pigeon detectives when i was in scotland a few years ago. they british. and they have 2 albums now. i got the new one when i was there again this summer but it was kind of disappointing. i hate when that happens like a bands first album is really good then the second one sucks. heres a mini playlist of my favorites...

your favorite record of all time...

this is a list of all the bests in music of the modern world. im talking bout my generation... fire, aim, READY.

best album of my generation- weezer's blue album- there is not a bad song on this album. its perfect.

best song of my generation- marcy playground's sex and candy- how better to sum up an entire generation.

best live album of my generation- nirvana's unplugged in new york- this is iconic and genius and gorgeous.

best cover song of my generation- TIE between...

nirvana's cover of bowie's the man who sold the world- as you can tell this is my favorite song of all time. and...

cat power's cover of the stone's satisfaction- fucking incredible.

best soundtrack of my generation- juno. it has belle and sebastian and sonic youth. enough said.

best collaboration of my generation that was not really my generation- bowie and queen's under pressure- so good.

best rap song of my generation- run dmc's its tricky- quite catchy even for a white girl like me.

best instrumental track of my generation- TIE between...

the hiveseses the hives are the law, you are crime- its funkay. and...

the go! team's phantom broadcast- only on the actual cd, SO BUY THE CD.

best weepy epic of my generation- death cab for cutie's transatlanticism- someday i hope to find someone to listen to this with... like the whole thing.

best non-weepy epic of my generation- the silversun pickup's lazy eye- also very perfect. 

if i can think of more awards to give out (ha) then i will post. for now...

~bye, bye love
