I was at a bar in 2002 and You’re So Damn Hot came on. I’m one of those people where if I like a song by a band I’ll get a whole album to see if I’m missing out on a good band or if they just got lucky with one good song. There’s a handful of good songs on this album (is 4 a … Continue reading OK Go – OK Go
I wasn’t a big fan of Maladroit and Make Believe but when I heard another self titled album was coming out I was pretty excited. I think it’s safe to say that up to this point the self-titled albums had a pretty good track record and since it was 7 years since their last self-title album it felt like an event. Weezers 3rd self-titled album … Continue reading Weezer – Weezer (Red Album)
I know there are a lot of people that think Weezer hasn’t been good since Pinkerton, like Leslie Jones in this SNL skit. I’m wondering if those people have ever heard the self titled green album. It’s not a perfect album (Crab), but good songs on here are really really good.

In 2003 Conan O’Brien had a lot of really good musical guests. He had The White Stripes on every week for a month. He also had The Dandy Warhols, which is where I first found out about then and instantly fell in love with them. They played We Used to be Friends and You Were the Last High, which are the best songs on Welcome … Continue reading Dandy Warhols – Welcome to the Monkey House
In 2005 the video for Feel Good Inc. was released. It was 4 years since Gorillaz debut album so I was pretty pumped to see this. Demon Days is pretty consistent with their first album, by that I mean it’s a complete mixed bag. It’s rare that you come across a band that is so inconsistent. Just like their debut album the songs range from … Continue reading Gorillaz – Demon Days
In 2001 I almost exclusively watched cartoons. I also smoked a lot. So when my buddy introduced me to a “virtual band” made of cartoon characters I was all in. The band is actually Damon Albarn of Blur, but the idea was that the cartoon characters were the band. There are music videos for Tomorrow Comes Today, Rock The House, Clint Eastwood, and 19–2000 and it … Continue reading Gorillaz – Gorillaz
In between the last two AWOLNATION albums I was watching some of their videos and in one of the comment sections I saw someone mention Under the Influence of Giants. It turns out Aaron Bruno, the main force behind AWOLNATION was also the main guy behind Under the Influence of Giants, who released their only album in 2006. I’m not even sure why he changed … Continue reading Under the Influence of Giants – Under the Influence of Giants
