Its offically the best time of year, its summer!

Finals: Woohoo! School is almost over, and now I am at the final gasp of academia. Finals, ho' boy. They really should not be too difficult, but jesus christ, I think I am gonna fail my band final again. One good things is that if I get B's or A's my mom will buy me tickets to Lollapalooza :D. another good thing is that I will get a discount on car insurance
which leads me to the next awesome thing

Driving!: Yes, what everyone anticipates feverishly, the obtainment of a license :P. I just got mine yesterday, and now I feel like I have such freedom to do what I will. Not that I can, but it is just an awesome feeling getting one more step of independece away from yor parents. The only downside is my license-less friends expect me to chauffeur them around. Then again, driving with your friends is one of the more enjoyable things in the world.

Oh wait, I though of another downside, gas prices :(

Music: I never, ever stop finding new music.

Heres some of my recent favorites

Of Montreal-Hissing Fauna, Are You The Destroyer?: This was easily the most difficult disc to get into in a while, but god, was it worth it. The band best known for that Outback jingle has came up with probably their darkest album, filled with mediatations on drugs, suicide, and sex. If this sounds off-putting, it shouldn't. All of these songs are the most insanely catchy dance tracks you'll ever hear, with the possible exeception of one. This album is a bit of a concept album, it deals with the lead singers transformation from a depressed lonely artist, to that of his freewheeling glam rock alter-ego. All of the songs have a weird electronic counter-part to it, its almost impossible to describe, you just have to hear it.

The Smiths-Meat is Murder: Alright, so I am late to the party, I get it. I have not been able to quite listen to the whole thing yet, but what I've heard has been awesome. Now I can really see where the whole indie/emo scene came out of.
