ahh, i love a lot of these bands, but i'm too lazy to bold them... you can look at my myspace if you want to see. this also reminded me, i haven't listened to the spill canvas forever! i bought their cd.. gosh, almost over a year ago, and i even made a buddy icon for their official site (which used to be in the media section.. but last time i checked it's just a recording journal). then a couple months ago i gave their cd to one of my friends, and a bunch of people looked at it and now they claim they're such huge fans. asswipes.

and nicki, this is actually really funny, because i'm having a rave at my house for graduation (not a real rave, it's all one big inside joke) and last night i made the playlist for it at midnight, and i was looking at it right now, and it turns out i put some q and not u on it! haha, i was like "wait... this is not raving music!". oh well, i guess it's dancable.

and everyone needs to go download "an owl with knees" by the books. freakin' perfection. the last part with the strings is so intense.
