Dirty Vegas / Dirty Vegas - They're not one-hit-wonders! That's the first thing that popped into my mind when I was listening to this CD. So impressive! These guys actually know what they are doing; if you liked Days Go By, then you actually owe it to yourself to shell out the bucks for this. Go buy!
System of a Down / Toxicity - Bob wasn't impressed. Saarene was pleasently surprised. I'm humbled. I was worried that this would become another whiney angst-rock group, but I can say that this CD actually has substance, and that SOAD has talent. While I'll admit that this won't make it on my all-time favorites list, I don't regret spending $13 for a solid CD.
Dave Matthews Band / Busted Stuff - Now here is the DMB that we all know and love! I've been missing the old style, the old sound, and Busted Stuff pleases the need. It's like Crash exteneded, a bit more mature, and not quite as pop-y as Everyday. If Dave & Co. make more CDs like this, I'll keep buying.
Oakenfold / Bunkka - So the mixmaster puts his money where his mouth is and makes his own CD, ready for mixing. Eh... maybe not such a good idea. I'll be brutally honest: besides a few really standout tracks, this CD is forgetable. And that's a shame. To his credit, he keeps a nice consistant theme throughout the CD, so the flow is really good, but there's nothing groundbreaking here. Hopefully he'll consider this the dry run and make a real go for something more edgy next CD.In retrospect, I might have been a bit harsh here... this is a good CD. It's just that I had higher expectations.
The White Stripes / White Blood Cells - My new guilty pleasure. Yeah, this CD isn't the best ever made. You can't understand all the lyrics, and when you do, they're usually simplistic. Nah, to hell with all that: this one's fun. Pop it in, tune out, and do a little dance in your chair.
And now for something completely different; lets take a look at the states on my vacation! (who said this only has to be for music?)
California - The Coast so freakin rocks. Beautiful. SFO is a shitty airport, SanFran is too cool for school, and that's sad.
Oregon - It's pronounced "Or-e-gin", not "Or-e-gon"... then spell it that way! Nice state, nothing to write home about. Washington's step-sister. Who knew that there were two Vancouvers?
Washington - If only Seattle we're so damn beautifully tragic... or was that tragically beautiful? Either way, Bob's radar was off the charts, and the girls we're bad, either. Do I forsee a BFN Seattle?
British Columbia - A crossroads. Vancouver's a great city, if only you go to the right beach. Why did our hostel reek? And the Canadians didn't like NAFTA, either.
Alberta - Beautiful Rockies, everyone wears a Cowboy hat, and that's sad.
Saskatchewan - Um, yeah................................................. <-That just about covers it...
Manitoba - Proof that yes, Canadians really do say "a-boot" and "eh".
Ontario - I don't know what they put in the water, but those Canadians sure do know how to raise one hellova bug... The Gripper's wanted for the murder of some 4,500 bugs and the single handed extinction of 3 species. Ouch!
Minnesota - Note to self: don't ever video tape a roller coaster ride again; they really don't like that kind of thing.
Wisconsin - Eh. Cheeseheads. 'Nuff said. Sorry Mr. Ociffer...
Illinois - Home already?!
