Oldies but Goodies

So I just downloaded a few old songs that I had previously classified as "pothead music"... Stairway to Heaven, Free Bird, and a bunch of Bob Marley songs. Yes i know, you're saying how could these classics be left out of my ridiculously huge mp3 collection. Maybe I'm just slow to change my interests (see the EMO revolution of 2001). Though, I'd like to think I'm actually a music elitist... one step ahead of the rest.

So here are a few new songs that I just got that you may or may not have heard:

-Ryan Adams - La Cienga Just Smiled
Ryan Adams is pretty much the man. Though, he believes in quantity over quality.. not unlike some of my college friends at a latenight. He somehow puts out like 2-3 albums per year... but his style is hit or miss with me. There are some songs like this one, the Wonderwall cover (possibly better than the original), I See Monsters, Thank you Louise, Come Pick Me Up, My Winding Wheel, My Sweet Carolina and a few others that have really hit. Love is Hell 2 disk album is pretty sweet actually. But sometimes he gets too country or too depressing or too rock for me....

-All American Rejects - Move Along
Well if youve never heard this song, youre looking at me like wtf are you talking about with this teenage mtv punk band. Listen to it. This song has a ridic drum line and is overall amazing. If I actually went out at night anymore, I would listen to this to pump me up.

-Matt White Band - Too Many Lovers
So Ive been checking out a bunch of random indie bands lately on MySpace Music. This is one of them. Dude is from Texas so that eliminates all chances of seeing him live. Im also not buying anything because I still refuse to pay for music unless its Pearsall. I found this song off LimeWire and its sick.

-Damian Marley - Road To Zion
Ok this is my only hip hop type song. This one features Nas which always jumps it up a few notches in my book. Damian Marley's other song "Jamrock" is also getting some airplay, and it also gets credit for being in my FIFA06 game. Bob Marley's other sons kind of sucked, so heres to Damian actually grabbing some mass appeal like pops.

First Post, basketball

Ok this is my first blog post. I havent read many blogs so I dont really know how this goes... the only ones Ive read are Makaron's which will be much more articulate than mine, and Chuck's which will be much less. I'm not really sure why I'm doing this, probably because I've just had 2 straight days off of work for the first time in a while and I'm bored out of my mind. We'll see if it lasts.

My subjects will be sports, tv, music, my life, medical school, and other amazing things. Probably not much medical school stuff right now because 1. it looks like i'll be waiting a few more months before hearing anything worthwhile and 2. the process is annoying as hell.

Right now I'm watching #4 Nova vs. #1 UConn. About halfway thru the 2nd half Nova went on a hot streak and dominated till the end. Its not fair that Jenna Sperry doesnt even like basketball and her team is amazing while I have to deal with 4 years of NIT bound Hoyas. On a side note, when you are #4 and u beat #1 you dont rush the court. Then, it takes them like 5 minutes for any sort of students to filter onto the court. Now Jay Wright is kissing some teenage girls. I hope they are his children...
