The Ultimate Tailgate List

Ok, not complete because I don't want everyone's browser to crash from the massive songs. This will give you a solid idea.

And yes, the USSR anthem is a must have. Don't question my tactics.

And for you nerds out there who bring a TV with you:

The conversation went something like this

In fye (holy crap so expensive), Stinky and I, talking about music.

Me - "Eliminate one of these three" Holding out Stevie Ray Vaughan's Greatest Hits, Garth Brook's Greatest Hits (his new 2 CD/DVD one), and Tool's Schism DVD

Stinky - "I dunno... they all kinda suck."

"Ok. I guess I'll put Stevie Ray Vaughan back" It was the most expensive one, I was trying to stay under my gift card limit "You at least respect him as a musican though, right?"

"Eh, can't say I like him."

"Yea, sure, but I mean, you respect him, right? He is like one of the greatest guitarists of all time..."

"Eh, not really."

"Seriously?"

"Yep."

At this point I stomp back, grab the SRV album, throw Garth in some random area. I think I may have made a small scene.


"Never say you know anything about music again."


Moral of the story, never tell your girlfriend that she should never speak of a topic again. If you do, don't expect her to hold your hand. Corrollary: I probably should have just put the Schism DVD back. Yea... that was dumb...

Until then though, suck on this:

Disclaimer: Stinky really does have a good music taste and stuff for the most part. Hopefully either a) She stopped reading this months ago or b) She will take this well :)

Brand Nizzle.

Talk about a "it's finals week and I don't want to write about music in films anymore" post... but anywho. A Behind the Music of sorts, if you don't mind...

Brand New (band name) rocks. No, they aren't new. No, they don't have a CD coming out anytime soon, though I did find some new singles/b-side tracks, one of which is youtube-d at the bottom. What they are though, is really good.

You want to talk about a band that reinvents itsself? How about one that gained popularity for its pop/punk single (Jude Law and a Semester Abroad) back in 2000, and has since come to a song called "Jesus Christ," about...well... who the hell knows what.



^^Listen to these two bad boys. Just the first 30 seconds even and you'll get the idea, even though both are solid in their own right.

Seriously, give them a chance. It kind of surprises me that they haven't had more wide spread popularity, maybe the "emo" tag wards them away from mainstream fame. Some of their songs are crap, sure, but not many. Especially as you progress forward, just check the allmusic reviews for each album, clearly one reviewer is sold.


Just to give you an idea of the evolution, I'm going to separate bits of each album into three separate seeqpods

Your Favorite Weapon:

SeeqPod - Playable Search



Deja Entendu (The whole album, expect one song, which is live...):


SeeqPod - Playable Search

The Devil and God are Raging Inside Me (winner: most Badass album title of all time, only selections here again):


SeeqPod - Playable Search


Lots of stuff here...and I'm sure you will all for the most part be like "wow, this sucks ass" the first time you listen. Just give it some time if you are curious. A lot the draw is lyrical.

And yes, Your Favorite Weapon is a very average album, I know.
