Back to school

It's about that time again. Having taken the summer off to work in the adult 9-5 world, I will need to resume my studies pretty soon if I want to achieve my ultimate gold star diploma thingie. And unfortunately Math is the main factor in this equation.

But really, when it comes down to it, I just wanna rock!

Top 5 school songs:

1. De La Soul- Me, Myself, and I (see music video)
2. Van Halen- Hot for Teacher
3. Alice Cooper- Schools Out
4. Camera Obscura- Suspended from Class
5. Ramones- Rock n' Roll High School

Here's a record review from the archive, 2.26.08 to be exact.
This record really meant a lot to me at the beginning of the year and still does. It got me through a terrible break-up and encouraged me to pick up the guitar, so here I am today, single and playin' a mean twang guitar.

The Raveonettes: Lust Lust Lust (Vice records)


So I've been talking up this record a bunch since i bought it last week. Why, because it's fucking awesome! Everything is in place and in full form. It has everything i love about music baked into one precious deep fried death pie. Sheets of face-peeling guitar noise, perfect pop harmonies, big echoey drums, and twang that would make Duane Eddy weep. Remember that song from the first record Chain Gang of Love called That Great Love Sound, well it was about this record, and here it is. Oh yeah, and Jesus & Mary Chain, why don't you guys stop being pussies and get the band back together, this could have been your record. My only complaint, if i must, would have to be the absence of tambourine and ooh ahhh vocal harmonies, but knowing the Raveonettes' work it was proabably a conceptual thing. Although there's still that strange high pitched dinging sound just above the drums that we first heard on Whip it On. So, my advice to you, crank this shit to 11, let go of the wheel, and fall in love all over again. And for those of you who think this record sucks, go kill a puppy or something, you souless piece of fuck.
