Nothing you can say can stop me going home

[exsequar]

I just reached 30,000 plays on my last.fm. O.O

Whee! *throws confetti*

(And that's just since August 2006, which is when I get this laptop. It blows my mind when I realize how much of my life I spend listening to music. That's approximately 70 days straight of music! Over two months out of 18! Geez.)

My thirty thousandth song was Innocent and Sweet by The Cab. I meant to make it my favorite MCR song, but my attention wandered and I didn't catch it in time, whoops. Instead Heaven Help Us was my 30,001st song! :)

In the music vein, I've downloaded so so much new music over the past weeks or so, and it's kind of overwhelming! In order to really get into something and make an opinion on it, I have to listen to it REPEATEDLY, because I never *just* sit and listen to music, I'm always always doing something else, so it takes a lot of repeats for anything to really sink in. I'm afraid I won't be able to give everything it's due consideration.

For curiosity's sake, the new music I've downloaded/received includes:

Incubus - A Crow Left of the Murder (LOVE this, so far)
The Frames - The Cost
Say Anything - In Defense of the Genre and Is A Boy/Was A Boy (Courtesy of my brother, who totally has a crush on Max Bemis. Enjoyable, though probably not going to become a favorite.)
Jimmy Eat World - Chase This Light (Again, enjoyable, but not very different from their other stuff. I do like their sound though.)
The Once soundtrack
Tom McRae - Tom McRae (Ugh, I love him SOMUCH. I'm so glad I got to see him live.)
Thursday - Full Collapse
The Cab - Glitz and Glamour

See? I'm so overwhelmed! *flails a little* I just keep coming back to MCR. *shameface* The only band that has managed to insinuate itself significantly in my listening patterns is The Used, and even then I only listen to them on shuffle in a playlist with all of MCR's stuff. MAYBE I'M OBSESSED? WHO KNOWS.

(I enjoy this mood icon. *stares*)

I felt the same way about JEW. Like, the album's fine, but are they ever going to do something new? I got a little bored. But oh man, Say Anything! I am kind crazy in love with them, excuse my excitement. And yay, Incubus!

And FYI on the stuff I sent you last night, I'm not sure if you downloaded the songs, but I uploaded one called Jet Black New Year, and Gerard sings on it. You probably already knew that, but hey, just in case!

Incubus, woooo! I'm kind of nuts about Pistola. I will cut short the squee, but awww, Incubus is close to my fangirl heart. I can hook you up with their other albums if you want.

Full Collapse is a fantastic album. I don't listen to Thursday anymore at all (mostly because the only song I liked after several years and some major life changes including the introduction of antidepressants to my life and transition to high school and some changes in some relationships I had) was "Standing on the Edge of Summer," and for some reason my computer wouldn't read it. (It did that with a small fraction of the songs I wanted to transfer. I'm not sure what happened.) But yeah, it's a great album-- gorgeous imagery in the lyrics and a ton of raw power both in the musicianship and Geoff's voice.

30,000 SONGS? HOLY CRAP. I don't really know how much music *I* listen to, cause I use Winamp and I can't really tell, but I doubt I'm ever CLOSE to that! :D Lol.

You know what I hate about this computer? I CAN NO LONGER DOWNLOAD MUSIC. Cause there's something wrong with my router, I can't define ports. Thus, I can't use sharing programs.

So unless, like, I REALLY want a cerain song and I'm willing to go look it up on google or something, I can't actually download anything. And I haven't been able for a few months, it's quite depressing. I'm making a list of Song I Need to Download. :D I really hope once I get my new computer working this problem might be solved. :D

If you like Thursday, I will gladly hook you up with their entire discography and a bunch of demos, acoustic songs, and other random Thursday goodness.

I love Thursday like I love air.
