My Shuffle Playlist
Tomorrow is my 20th birthday and I’m going to get to celebrate by going to Roger’s Picnic. I plan to just do something fun for a post. I was going to do something more personal…though I’m not quite sure how good of an image that would represent so I’ll just stick to the music. Basically the game is to shuffle your playlist and explain any of the bad ones.
I’ll prove some mp3s along the way and you can share your own shuffles.
Invasion by Eisley
The Longest House of My Life by Everybody Else
Lousy Reputation by We Are Scientists
Lost At Sea by Eisley

Hello, My Treacherous Friends by Ok Go
Wow I dodged some big bullets. Songs that I will keep a secret but I have quite a bit of guilty pleasure. This list is actually a list I could listen to on occasion.
Aliens in America Playlist!
Aliens in America has become one of my favorite television shows which I don’t actually watch on television. I managed to run into the pilot on the A-channel, a seldom watched channel but nontheless won be over in 5 minutes. It doesn’t hurt that they also have an indie-rock playlist playing the likes of Bishop Allen, Rilo Kiley and Los Campesinos on their shows. Ultimately, it’s such a hilarious show without the laugh tracks and it ultimately is heartfelt and is the perfect family show.
This show was actually really funny and most of all meaningful as a teen grows up in high school. The sad thing is that it wasn’t promoted and many viewers from outside of the US were forced to download the show via torrents. They also switched their lineup days and lost half their viewership. The Canadian channel fucked me over by not playing it and I looked forward to downloading this show weekly.
I guess the problem is that a sitcom with rather real situations when a Muslim exchange student is living in the US but it’s a shame that the stuff on TV is that popular do you people buy into that crap? This television show had SOUL and was just hilarious.. it didn’t glamorize the rich and fashion and the idiotic. It was believable and sometimes I just don’t understand why things are popular.. Like Undeclared, this show is only going to last one season. It’s officially canceled with one more episode to go. I think that I just hate people and “pop culture” in general or else shows like these would stay alive and that bitch Tila Tequila would be off the air. Like Undeclared this show is ahead of its time I guess. Judd Apatow sure has been successful since Fox are a bunch of retards. Stupid CW.
If you’re in the US you can watch episodes here. Otherwise just download the first and ONLY season on The Pirate Bay.
Watch the pilot here it still makes me laugh and I’ve seen this episode 50 times:

Queens of the Stone Age: Era Vulgaris Review
I figure the only way to get people to vote is to keep spewing out the music stuff and whether you hate it so much or like it a lot…I can get you to vote. The poll is now in my right sidebar and I have yet to receive a single vote…making me feel like a loser. Thanks!
Queens of the Stone Age was one of my favorite rock bands before I went all indie-loving and their past two albums “Songs for the Deaf” and “Lullabies to Paralyze” were amazing.
This album had the style of Queens of the Stone Age but with less synthesizers and harder rock. However, I found this hard to listen to at first like the critics are saying. It does get better with each listen but I still couldn’t get myself to like as much as Songs for the Deaf and Lullabies to Paralyze.
It could be that my tastes are no longer aligned with QOTSA but I am not liking this album though there are some solid songs here. Some of them that stand out for me are “Sick, Sick, Sick”, “Run Pig Run” and “3’s & 7’s”. This album may not be for me but it’s much more easier to like and warm up to unlike the Battles album that I had to say I hated.
This album is probably heading to the trash folder on my computer but overall it is a decent album and if you are a QOTSA fan you’ll probably like it or interested in something slightly different. Overall rating: 3.5 out of 5.
Listen to “Run Pig Run” – my favorite song on the album:
