1. Stop whatever you’re doing. 2. Find the best pair of speakers or headphones currently available to you. 3. Kick back, relax and listen to this.
Recently, I’ve become the sorta guy who much prefers to listen to a full album rather than specific songs. I sat down with My Chemical Romance’s Danger Days: The True Lives of the Fabulous Killjoys and it’s rather excellent.
As Lovers Go — Dashboard Confessional. I heard this song on the radio the other day and knew I’d heard it somewhere before. Those of you who saw Shrek 2 will know what I mean.

I’ll admit I was apprehensive about it but in hindsight, it made a generic ‘night-at-the-musicals’ more interesting because the usual songs were nowhere to be found. I’m certain I speak for a [...]
The week before last, I heard someone singing “Moving Too Fast” from The Last Five Years. There’s a part in the song that goes:- Some people analyze every detail Some people stall when they can’t see the trail Some people freeze out of fear that they’ll fail But I keep rollin’ on Some people can’t [...]
