The Best of U2: 1983-2004
U2 is a pretty awesome band and they have been around for years. “Sunday Bloody Sunday,” from War, is always one of my favorite songs by them. “Pride (In the Name of Love),” from The Unforgettable Fire, is also quite well-done. “With or Without You,” from The Joshua Tree, is a beautiful song. “I Still … Continue reading
The Best of Justin Timberlake: 2002-2013
It is not surprise with me watching TRL that I heard of ‘N Sync, during the early 1990s Boyband hayday. “Cry Me a River,” from Justified, is a particularly great song. “Rock Your Body,” from Justified, is also pretty awesome. “My Love,” from FutureSex/LoveSounds, is also pretty wicked. “What Goes Around… Comes Around,” from FutureSex/LoveSounds, is well worth listening … Continue reading

Drive
Sometimes I feel the fear of the uncertainty stinging clear And I can’t help but ask myself how much I’ll let the fear take the wheel and steer It’s driven me before, and it seems to have a vague Haunting mass appeal Lately I’m beginning to find that I should be the one behind the … Continue reading
Freak On a Leash

Seek me, call me I’ll be waiting Seek me, call me I’ll be waiting This distance, this dissolution I cling to memories while falling Sleep brings release, and the hope of a new day Waking the misery of being without you Surrender, I give in Another moment is another eternity For comfort (Call me) For … Continue reading
On Queercore
I really enjoy hardcore music, I have inspired by some of the music within the genre, such as B4MV, A7X, and Breaking Benjamin. This music was quite popular with my co-workers at Sears, and McKesson, though I had particular exposure at McKesson because they would play it in Shipping/Receiving, with no way for me to get … Continue reading

Paper Bag

The Best of Third-Eye Blind: 1997-2000
Growing up, I heard Third Eye Blind all the time. “Semi-Charmed Life,” from Third Eye Blind, is always a good one. “How It’s Going To Be,” from Third Eye Blind, is about “that condition surrounds the idea of lost love, of realizing that there may come a despairing day when the two meet and no longer know each other. … Continue reading
