The best use of Play-Doh
This video is awesome, definetly one of the most creative I have seen in quite some time.
Reunion
I am sorry I have been absent from the blogosphere, I am afraid classes are picking up and I feel that incessant need to do well. Anyway I just wanted to stop in to Pop-Punk the blog up with some awesome news, The Starting Line is reforming! If you do not know who they are here go help yourself out
I hope some of you are as excited as I am, I tend to think TSL are some of the best Pop-Punk out there.
Have a wonderful weekend.

Best Albums of The Decade
Here we are, bestowed with another "Best of.." list. This time Paste takes on the duty of compiling the "50 Best Albums of the Decade (2000-2009)". If you head over to their site, you can sample each of the albums listed.
I always enjoy reading these lists even though I often disagree with them. You'd think by now I should know what I'm getting myself into when I read a "Best of.." list on an indie music site.

01 Sufjan Stevens - Illinois (Asthmatic Kitty, 2005)
From what's included, I'm actually fairly content with the list and I'm glad to see Illinois take the top spot. I'm surprised that there's a lack of love for Fleet Foxes, the inclusion of a few soundtracks and that I and Love and You is in the top ten. I'm always a fan of the same token hip-hop albums that grace every single one of these "Best of.." lists. Apparently the indie world has only heard of Kanye, Jay-Z and OutKast, cool! Do you find any blaring omissions or any albums that are wasting space on the list? What would your top ten or even five consist of? Share your thoughts in the replies.
Joe Pug tonight at the Sanctuary
Two of my favorite things, live music and the Sanctuary. Give your ears a taste, and if you like what you hear join me tonight. Tickets are between $10-$15.

Not too sure if I dig the art entirely, but maybe the songs will reflect back to it. I am intrigued with the song titles and I think they are set to make for some interesting songs. I'm really curious to see what sort of direction this album takes. With their last album, Even If It Kills Me, we got to hear a fairly mellow side of the band which included only a few spastic, high energy songs like on their first two albums. The first single off of My Dinosaur Life, "Disappear", is somewhat heavy and less synth driven than their previous work. MCS' singles are usually indicative of the rest of their albums, but for now I'll put aside any notions of what I think the album is going to sound like and wait until the album comes out in January.
