so sometimes I spend a year in my own little world. I still love you.

I recently added a lot of shit to my iTunes library.

I give you, thoughts on my recently added music, greatest hits edition:

#41: "Shake It" - Metro Station: All the kids love it, and for some reason, I do too. Mostly it has to do with not calling shotgun fast enough and making them rue the day they ever put baby in the backseat. I like to dance to it, its a good time, I promise.

#37: "Womanizer" - Britney Spears: We all know about that. Drinking game I invented: drink every time she says "womanizer". Have the hospital on standby. Fo sho. It breaks the commandment of "Thou Shalt Not make repetitive, generic music", but hell, it's Britney, bitch.

# 36:"Love Lockdown" - Fall Out Boy: Don't make me say it again. Covers are my kryptonite.

#30 : "Mariella" - Kate Nash: I love it. If Regina Spektor and Lily Allen had a baby and left it in the Chunnel, you'd get her. Love, Love, Love Love her. With a capital L. The song is fucking adorable.

# 11: "Headfirst Slide Into Cooperstown On A Bad Bet" - Fall Out Boy: yes, you read that right. That title is every bit as terrible to say as it is to read. I DON'T GET IT. Fall Out Boy goes new wave, and I was okay with it. I feel like the older they get both as people and as a product they want to push people away to see who the real fans are. It started with "Dead on Arrival" (no I am not including FOB's Evening Out With Your Girl, because I am lazy) then went to "7 Minutes in Heaven (Atavan Halen)" only to go to "The Carpal Tunnel of Love" ,(ignore the formatting) which brings us to this abomination. The song's not half bad, but the title totally takes it to a place I don't wanna go to. (Apparently, its a baseball reference. I think that just made it worse.) Did I mention that the CD is called Folie à Deux? Pop-punkers know French? Oh sweet jesus.

#10 : "What A Catch, Donnie" - Fall Out Boy: Single #3 from the new CD. THE FIRST SINGLE HIT RADIO A MONTH AND A HALF AGO. If they want to release forty-eleven singles from the CD, that's fine, they won't be the first or last to do so. This one's a thinker (listener? see the wikipedia article). I didn't hear them or first listen, so I am trying again. Who doesn't love a slow jam? Oh, Elvis Costello.

#9: Birthday Girl" - The Roots (f/Patrick Stump): Well, if this whole band thing doesn't pan out, Patty's always got a career as a backup singer. Apparently, the CD Rising Down was released in April with the song, but was later removed. Good call, I can't handle radio friendly Roots. "Girl its your birthday," he sings. A nation weeps.

there are more, like Maximo Park covering J. Timberlake, and Cobra Starship singing about how they kissed a boy. You'll recall a few years ago, they weren't our hollaback boy either.

also, I am thinking about resurrecting the video hangover feature. Since Stereogum's pretty much abandoned it, that means it's mine, right? There are a shit ton of new vids out.

I don't care what you think, as long as it's about me.
