RECOMMENDED LISTENINGS
THREE blog posts in a row?! Is Richie going mad? Or bored? Or both?
Yeah, I'mma pull a Jeph Jacques and list all of me current favorite albums and why they kick so much ass. All of these must be listened to. For your own good. I beg of you. I'll even rate their awesomeness, so you can tell which ones the best.
Let the page load, there's lots of pretty pictures.

ALTERNATIVE/INDIE ROCK
~ Funeral, The Arcade Fire
I'll go out on a limb here, and say that half the lyrics on this album make absolutely no sense. To me at least. Maybe I'm not looking into them enough. Anways, forget the lyrics. Wait, actually don't. Theyre quite good. In an eerie sort of way. Anyways, either way, listen to the actual music. The variety of instruments, (accordian, anyone?) the sweet beats, the drummer who is absolutely insane (no really, find a video of him playing on the internet. the whole band is crazy.) Put 'em together, and you get a freakish awesome psychadelic experience... I think? You'd like it... maybe? Fuck it, just listen to the thing.
Awesomeness Factor : Highly Reccommended
~ A Rush Of Blood To The Head, Coldplay
British rock! Everyone's been loving it ever since the Beatles, and Coldplay be no exception. Pretty much every song on here be awesome. They're all powerfully emotional (yet not emo!... if that made sense) and any song with a piano part in it is a sheer pleasure to listen to. Plus, they all sing with British accents. What more could you want?
Awesomeness Factor : Reccommended
~ Franz Ferdinand, Franz Ferdinand
YES. One of the best indie bands out there, this album does not disappoint. Absolutely kicking drums (like in Take Me Out... or Matinee) along with addictive lyrics (Take Me Out... again, and Auf Auche) and some disturbing songs thrown along in with the mix (Michael... it's scary, yet you can't help but listen to it) all make a truly grand album.
Awesomeness Factor : Highly Reccommended
~ The Go! Team, Thunder, Lightning, Strike
Nonlyrical goodness. Well, yeah, there's lyrics, but they're indistinguishable. Sounds like ranting. Or chanting. But yeah, the whole album sounds like the soundtrack to some random 70's show. Scooby Doo, or something. Which may not like the cat's meow to everyone, but for me, it's like ecstacy to the ears. The emotion ecstacy. Not the drug.
Awesomeness Factor : Listen First, Then Buy
~ Modest Mouse, Good News For People Who Love Bad News
Good God. This album... is really scary. No, really. Some songs (such as the ever famous Float On... or One Chance) sound like good 'ol addictive indie rock. But others (The Devil's Workday and Dancehall come to mind) sounds like the type of music that would play when some random witch doctor would rip off your head with his specially treated knife, shrink it, and offer it to his cajun god of creepy music. Yet, even these songs are as infectious as the others.

ROCK
~ Dave Matthews Band, The Central Park Concer
Okay, lots of people don't like Dave Matthews Band. That's peachy. Some people don't like live music on a CD either. That's fine and dandy too. I'm not either of these. They take some of their best songs, (Ants Marching, Don't Drink The Water) add 10 teaspoons of kickass, 2 pints of screaming crowd, and stir vigorously. Bake in overn at 400 degrees for 20 minutes. Let cool. Serves party of 6.
Awesomeness Factor : Highly Recommended
~ Jet, Get Born
Do I even need to explain this one? It's Jet. It's got some of the most kickass AC/DC-like songs on it (Are You Gonna Be My Girl? and Cold Hard Bitch) yet, on the other side, they have some slow, Beatles-like tunes on there too. (Radio Song, Timothy) AND you can get the two-disc set, which has some live songs as well as singles. Truly great album, one of me favorites on here.
Awesomeness Factor: Highly Recommended
~ Taking Back Sunday, Where You Want To Be
Besides the interesting album art (bare-assed baby throwing up the horns!) this CD kinda breaks away from the band's punk rock sound and goes for a more alternative style. Sure, there is punk on the CD (The Union) but theres some other less heavy stuff (A Decade Under The Influence, New American Classic) that lets you enjoy TBS without having to headbang. Or whatever punkies do nowadays.
Awesomeness Factor : Recommended
~ U2, How To Dismantle An Atomic Bomb
A lot of people hate U2. And when I mean hate, I mean that they'd kill them if they had the chance. I, however, am not one of those peoople. A lot of good 'ol fashioned rockish songs (Vertigo, Love and Peace Or Else) along with some great slow songs (City of Blinding Lights, A Man and A Woman) make it varied... good for everyone to listen to. The only downside is that the members of the band look scary. Eek.
Awesomeness Factor : Recommended

HIP-HOP
~ Black Eyed Peas, Elephunk
Rediculously varied. Sweet soothing songs... kinda (like Sexy) to rockish riffs (Anxiety) to good old ghettofabulous raps (Labor Day) make this a good CD to listen to no matter what your mood be. And you can listen to Let's Get Retarded any time, because it kicks arse no matter what. Period.
Awesomeness Factor : Highly Recommended
~ Jay-Z & Linkin Park, Collision Course
Okay. If you don't like Jay-Z, stay away. If you don't like Linkin Park, stay away. If you don't like both of them, stay far, far, FAR away. If you like either one, get it. If you like both of them, (such as I) THIS MUST BE BOUGHT. Mixing pretty much all of their best songs (Papercut, Izzo, One Step Closer, Big Pimpin', blah blah blah) and switching up the lyrics and such... pure bliss.
Awesomeness Factor : Listen First, Then Buy

JAZZ
~ Sonny Rollins, Saxophone Colossus
A fair warning to anyone who doesn't like jazz: stay far, far, far away. This CD won't change your mind. To anyone else, sweet swingin' tunes await. He may not be as well known as Coltrane or Gillespe, but personally, I like the sound of Rollins better than all of them. It's somehow different, but I can't put my finger on how. Just listen to it.
Awesomeness Factor : Highly Recommended
~ Miles Davis, The Birth of Cool
As with Saxophone Colossus, if you don't like jazz, The Birth of Cool won't make you change. It was remastered pretty recently (1998, as opposed to like 1958 or 1968) and it's got a hell of a lotta songs on it. If you dig Davis, pick this one up. Prolly the best set of his best stuff out there.
Awesomeness Factor : Recommended

SOUNDTRACKS
~ Cowboy Bebop Box-CD Set
Every. Song. Ever. Produced. For. Cowboy Bebop. Okay, I'll stop typing like that. But yeah, you read correctly. EVERY FLAMIN' SONG produced for Cowboy Bebop (and the movie!) was put in this box set. A treat for anyone who loves the anime and its soundtrack (such as me.) They also have some live stuff, and the solos in them defy anything ever heard by these two ears (the Tank! solo in particular is pretty damn amazing...) Even if you've never even heard of Cowboy Bebop, your life wouldn't be complete without this set.
Awesomeness Factor : Highly Recommended
~ Halo 2 Soundtrack
Interesting. A soundtrack with barely any songs from the actual game. But the songs that they DID pick from the game are the best (Peril and Impend) and the rest of the CD is filled up with musical bliss from bands such as Hoobastank, Breaking Benjamin, and Incubus (which is the highlight of the CD: Incubus made a nonlyrical series of songs, the Odyssey series, on this album, and while they have almost nothing to do with Halo 2, theyre fucking awesome)
Awesomeness Factor : Highly Recommended
~ Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas 2CD Set
WHAT? GTA?! A game about beating hookers with baseball bats and shooting up police? How can that game have an awesome soundtrack? Lesse, by basically taking every hit from the late 80's/early 90's and putting them on 2 CDs. If you grew up in the 90's, listening to these songs, it'll be a pure nostalgic treat. Most of them you'll listen to and be like, "... OH. CRAP. I REMEMBER THAT SONG. IT'S AWESOME." and listen to it over and over and over again. It's like a time trip back to when I was 4.
Awesomeness Factor : Listen First, Then Buy
~ Kill Bill: Volume 1 Sountrack
Okay, I must admit that I didn't like the second Kill Bill soundtrack. It lacked the vibes from the first one. Making songs that sound perfect in a Tarantino movie, this CD has jazz gods (Al Hirt, Issac Hayes) and other groups (The RZA) and makes it into a soundtrack truly worthy of a B+ movie. An awesome B+ movie. That was actually trying to be a B+ movie. And it has that whistle song thing, that GETS STUCK IN YOUR HEAD.
Awesomeness Factor : Recommended
~ Spiderman 2 Sountrack
Possibly the best CD up on this list. Let me just run down the artists on here for you that are awesome:
JET
YELLOWCARD
HOOBASTANK
THE ATARIS
SMILE EMPTY SOUL
TAKING BACK SUNDAY
DASHBOARD CONFESSIONAL
MAROON 5
AND MUSIC BY DANNY ELFMAN
Yeah. Nuff said.

JESUS H.
SNOW.
Why is it that every time North Carolinians see snow, they go absolutely batshit crazy? The wig out. They flip. They freak. They don't understand that you NEED TO DRIVE SLOW ON ICE. Otherwise your car does funny things, and you end up in the median or off the road. And when there is an accident, you don't have to slow down to the speed of 2 miles an hour just to watch the stupid people beat and abuse their car in frustration.
But enough ranting about retarted NC drivers... my day was utterly insane. Got out at 1:30 cause of snow. Much cheering and applause throughought the school.
2:00 - chilling at WELL, call dad, he leaves work
2:30 - still chilling at WELL
4:00 - STILL chilling at WELL
4:30 - WELL closes; WELL geeks flee to the cafeteria; I call dad again, he's moved like 2 inches in the past two hours, because Glenwood is a freakin' sheet of ice
5:30 - walked to Harry's and back with Dante; then chilled outside
6:00 - freezing ass off; go in cafeteria; chill with Shay and Ana and Emmy and Jason
7:00 - pissed off dad walks in cafeteria; start driving home; survey evidence of idiocy (cars skidding and sliding up the wazoo)
7:30 - get home
WOO.
If we have school tomorrow, heads will roll.
~mEh~
EDIT: Count Your Sheep added to teh comics list.
AND SOME MORE STUFF...
Two posts in one! Dastardly!
- Okay, since I'm not in stressful ranting mode, time for some more intelligent conversation... though its true that people DO go batshit crazy over snow in NC, that can have some positive effects... like at school for instance. Today, snow starts, everyone starts whooping and cheering, and the cafeteria is deserted after 2 minutes of snowfall, everyone outside chattering and yelling about the snow. The whole day is flipped upside down. The whole school buzzes with excitement. Rules are thrown out the window. "CD player? Sure, we're getting let out anyway." The whole mood of the day is changed in an instant, with the falling of a single snowflake. In a cheery, mystical sort of way...
AND IT IS AFTER I HARNESS THE POWER OF SNOW THAT I SHALL RULE TEH WOARLD.
Ahem.

What people don't tell you is that when they are born they really aren't babies. What you get at the beginning is a screaming, flailing shit machine. After a few months they start to turn into something more closely resembling a human being.

SONG OF NOW
Where do we go from here?
The words are coming out all wierd
Where are you now when I need you?
Alone on an aeroplane
Falling asleep against the window pane
My blood will thicken.
I need to wash myself again to hide all the dirt and pain
I’d be scared that there’s nothing underneath
And who are my real friends?
Have they all got the bends?
Am I really sinking this low?
My baby’s got the bends
We don’t have any real friends
I’m just lying in a bar with my drip feed on
Talking to my girlfriend waiting for something to happen
And I wish it was the sixties
I wish I could be happy
I wish
I wish
I wish that something would happen..
Where do we go from here?
The words are coming out all wierd
Where are you now when I need you?
They brought in the cia
The tanks and the whole marines to blow me away
To blow me sky high.
My baby’s got the bends
We don’t have any real friends
I’m just lying in a bar with my drip feed on
Talking to my girlfriend waiting for something to happen
And I wish it was the sixties
I wish I could be happy
I wish
I wish
I wish that something would happen
I want to live and breathe
I want to be part of the human race
~ Radiohead, The Bends

Wot to ramble about now?
- Axis and Allies gathering on Saturday was... interesting. It took 4 hours to take over the world... with The Producers soundtrack running all the way through, and enough soda to wire someone up for a couple of hours.
- Radiohead is cool... kinda like Coldplay.
- I need guitar lessons... i suck. Extraordinarily. HELPS.
- I'm running out of things to say.
- I'm hungry.
- STOP BUGGING ME ABOUT PROM.
~mEh~
It better snow...

SONG OF NOW
Timothy, I took your place
Timothy, cause it's such a waste
Timothy, we found your spaceship
Timothy, it's the farthest you've ever flown
Never used your head
To find out what this whole thing meant
It's not what it seems
But it is
Timothy where have you been?
Timothy where have you been?
Timothy, where did you go?
Timothy, the boy can throw
Timothy, we found your spaceship
Timothy, did it hurt when you hit the ground
Never used your legs
To walk around in this whole big mess
It's not what it seems
But it is
Timothy where have you been
She cried in the kitchen
To let you go
Timothy where have you been
Missed your photo
Missed your birthday too
Missed your photo
It's not what is seems
But it is
Timothy where have you been
She cried in the kitchen
To let you go
Timothy where have you been
Missed your photo
Missed your birthday too
~ Jet, Timothy

She cried in the kitchen
To let you go
Timothy where have you been
Missed your photo
Missed your birthday too

SONG OF NOW
I got a story it's almost finished
all i need is someone to tell it too
maybe, that's you.
our time is borrowed and spent to freely
every minute i have needs to be made up
but how?
i'm looking for a nice way to say
"i'm out."
i want out.
i fall asleep with my friends around me
only place i know, i feel safe
i'm gonna call this home
the open road is still miles away
Hey nothing serious
we still have our fun
oh we had it once
Windows open and close
that's just how it goes
don't it feel like sunshine afterall
the world we love forever, gone
we're only just as happy
as everyone else seems to think we are
i'm in love with the ordinary
i need a simple space
and rest my head
everything gets clear
well i'm a little ashamed for asking
but just a little helps
it gets me straight again
helps me get over it (over it)
it might seem like a dream
but it's real to me
don't it feel like sunshine afterall
the world we love forever, gone
we're only just as happy
as everyone else seems to think we are
you should see the canals are freezing
you should see me high
you should just be here
be with me here
it doesn't seem theres hope for me
i let you down
but i won't give in now
not for any amount
don't it feel like sunshine afterall
the world we love forever, gone
we're only just as happy
as everyone else seems to think we are
~ Jimmy Eat World, The World You Love
I got a story it's almost finished
all i need is someone to tell it too
maybe, that's you.
our time is borrowed and spent to freely
every minute i have needs to be made up
but how?
i'm looking for a nice way to say
"i'm out."
i want out.
i fall asleep with my friends around me
only place i know, i feel safe
i'm gonna call this home
the open road is still miles away
Hey nothing serious
we still have our fun
oh we had it once
Windows open and close
that's just how it goes
don't it feel like sunshine afterall
the world we love forever, gone
we're only just as happy
as everyone else seems to think we are
i'm in love with the ordinary
i need a simple space
and rest my head
everything gets clear
well i'm a little ashamed for asking
but just a little helps
it gets me straight again
helps me get over it (over it)
it might seem like a dream
but it's real to me
don't it feel like sunshine afterall
the world we love forever, gone
we're only just as happy
as everyone else seems to think we are
you should see the canals are freezing
you should see me high
you should just be here
be with me here
it doesn't seem theres hope for me
i let you down
but i won't give in now
not for any amount
don't it feel like sunshine afterall
the world we love forever, gone
we're only just as happy
as everyone else seems to think we are

YAR.
Yeah. Blog update! Woo.
- Yadda yadda, school's back, it's been back, but eh. Updates on it... not too many. I have two Study Skills on A days, which has made it so boring it hurts quite literally. At least I have no excuse for not having me homework ready... oh, wait. That's not a good thing. Meh. Everything else about school be peachy though.
- ... * just now realizes that theres shortcuts for typing in bold? and italics! Wiggy.
I feel so ignorant.
- What else... oh yeah, past happenings. New Year's party was awesome, longass game of Manhunt. Movie was hilarious on Saturday, and mall visit twas fun. And that soccer game was awesome(tiring) despite Marc's temper tantrum (rawr) and Erin getting beaned in the face by the soccer ball.
- *trying really hard to do good in short story contest*
I haven't written anything serious since I was in 8th grade... wahh. 9th grade was poetry (GODAWFUL POETRY, mind you) and last year and this year was focused more on drawing. So now I'm back into writing. Sortakinda.
- Prom coming... who to go with?
*shakes with laughter*
~mEH~
EDIT: Applegeeks and Lowbright added to the ever growing list of websites that rock.

SONG OF NOW
Come out come out
No use in hiding
Come now come now
Can you not see?
There's no place here
What were you expecting
Not room for both
Just room for me
So you will lay your arms down
Yes I will call this home
Away away
You have been banished
Your land is gone
And given to me
And here I will spread my wings
Yes I will call this home
What's this you say
You feel a right to remain
Then stay and I will bury you
What's that you say
Your father's spirit still lives in this place
I will silence you
Here's the hitch
Your horse is leaving
Don't miss your boat
It's leaving now
And as you go I will spread my wings
Yes I will call this home
I have no time to justify to you
Fool you're blind, move aside for me
All I can say to you my new neighbor
Is you must move on or I will bury you
Now as I rest my feet by this fire
Those hands once warmed here
I have retired them
I can breathe my own air
I can sleep more soundly
Upon these poor souls
I'll build heaven and call it home
'Cause you're all dead now
I live with my justice
I live with my greedy need
I live with no mercy
I live with my frenzied feeding
I live with my hatred
I live with my jealousy
I live with the notion
That I don't need anyone but me
Don't drink the water
There's blood in the water
~ Don't Drink The Water, Dave Matthews Band
Come out come out
No use in hiding
Come now come now
Can you not see?
There's no place here

Away away
You have been banished
Your land is gone
And given to me
And here I will spread my wings
