60 Stationwagons of Kungfu Fury

No, really. That's the name of a band. A real band. As in, I can probably find their music somewhere
and upload it here or something for you all to listen to. A few hours ago, my husband awoke with a
killer toothache, and upon my inspection of his tooth, we both decided it would be wise to visit a 
detist ASAP and have it removed. Which is going to be as early as the dentist gets into his office,
so here I am, awake, with nothing to do.

My new layout will be available momentarily, as well. My friend had a lot of work to do for college,
so she wasn't able to work on the coding, which is perfectly fine. College is important, kiddies. 
Remember that.

Anyway, since I have to keep myself awake long enough to drive him there (he's in a LOT of pain,
so him driving would be a very bad idea), I thought I'd go listen to some random bands that I've
never really heard of, thus giving my blog an actual point beyond bitching about random things
that very few, if any, people care about.

A few nights ago, I found a random photo of a band named Mew. Fucking MEW. Like, the kitty
sound. And these are all men. And they're hot. And I think they're actually straight. That's amazing,
considering this guy can hit some pretty high octaves. So, like anyone who found a photo of a band with a weird band that they've never heard of before, I downloaded a few of their songs. They don't sound too bad, surprisingly. It's happy-lovey-dovey music, and it's not really rock.

Mew has a serious boy-band thing going on, but they are tolerable. It's cute. If you decide to actually listen to them, I recommend the songs, Snow Brigade and Special.

I also thought I'd listen to Jack Off Jill, since people who like a few of the same bands I like also like these guys. Or, should I say gals. The lead singer is definately female, and while her voice is nice, I don't think she's using it to the full effect. The music is reletively plain, and she isn't using her voice enough to complement it fully, so the music sounds really dull and slow. She half sings and half talks, and if she sang fully, it would probably be awesome. To fully judge them, however, I'd have to listen to some more of their music. The lead singer really reminds me of Courtny Love, though, and I'll be fucked if I know why. I was listening to Fear Of Dying.

Since I liked Evanescence's original album, I thought I would give her new album a whirl. Dear fucking God, what did she do? I either heard or read somewhere that her song, Call Me When You're Sober, is about the time that she dated
the lead singer from Seether, and they... uh... broke up? I mean... yeah, you write songs about stuff like that, typical... but. Ok, it sucked. Seether is much better at singing about drunken depression. Stick to singing about darkness and suicide. I can't even explain why it sucked. It just did; it seemed... just... I don't know. There was less power in the music than there was before.

Everyone has been raving and raving about Apocalyptica, so I thought I might finally give them a listen or two. I didn't before because I know they're notable for doing Metallica covers with... cellos? I'm not too fond of Metallica, so I was hesitant. I picked a Metallica song I knew and loved, so that they'd have half a chance at impressing me, since I'm a picky bitch. They actually performed For Whom The Bell Tolls fairly well. It's interesting to hear a song that's supposed to be done with electric guitars and bass and all that jazz solely on cellos, and I did think it sounded well. As talented as they are, it can get pretty annoying to listen to Metallica, basically, with different instruments, especially if you don't like them much in the first place.

And I'd better stop writing while I'm still ahead.
