I've been a FF fan for a little while, bought In Your Hono(u)r and thought it was a mistake after a few listens. It's ok now, still don't listen to it much. Similar story for WLRARR, wasn't the biggest fan but Blue Skies drew me in and it gets some rotation on my playlist. Not as much as Avalanche mind you, but more than most other non-MG(B) albums. I get the feeling Vancouver might be the closest thing we get to a straight up rock album for a CD or two. I wouldn't be adverse to the idea Matt mentioned a while back of releasing a few EP's a year of stuff that he just comes up with, I'd be all over it. But hey, what do I know?

CoN is damn good on its own, so I went for Avalanche. I don't care how many times I hear it live or recorded (or both!), it's kickass. I'd like to see what everyone else thinks.

Freakin' sweet, I've been waiting for the album to come out. Wish they'd do more touring in Canada... c'mon Halifax!

Tonight Is the Night I Fell Asleep at the Wheel - Barenaked Ladies

Thanks for the reminder, Public Enemies is going on the 'To See' list. Watched Funny People the other night - not as good as I thought it would be, kinda forgettable really. And in the Never-Again category: Gamer. Gah, why Michael C. Hall? Why?? Although the dance number was oddly funny for a minute there...

Today so far: The Von Bondies - Love, Hate and Then There's You Radiohead - In Rainbows: From The Basement Jeff Buckley - Live at Sin

I consider Anti-Pop a guilty pleasure, and MCG I have mixed feelings about. I haven't given Underdogs a spin in a while, might do that later tonight. I kind of killed it listening to it at the gym while running a while ago. Also in the guilty pleasure category, Load Me Up acoustic but it's from one show that I heard on youtube, forget which one. It was freaking sweet the first time I heard it. But as for worst song? Don't know that I could name one that is a constant dislike. Depends on the mood I'm in - sometimes I could skip half of the songs on Hospital Music if I'm not feeling it (not that I have actually done that), but if it came to it I would probably skip Devils in Your Details and Moon Over Marin at times. Maybe even 99% if I was so inclined. But like I said, that hasn't happened because I just listen to the album I feel suits the mood. Guess what I'm trying to say is that there's not really one bad song that stands out for me. ;)

Last Parade Sort of a Protest Song While We Were Hunting Rabbits Going All the Way Little Terror Empty Road Load Me Up Great Whales of the Sea A Silent Army in the Trees As a short side note, FINALLY I can post here. Been waiting about a year for my account to be cleared, so I've been stuck on the sidelines reading everything. Thanks for starting this up rebellious_L!
