I love The Nixons, and I love Black Lab. no other bands have influenced my life as much as either of them. Listening to their cds can pretty much be a soundtrack to my life over the past 7 or so years. I have seen The Nixons/Zac Maloy (the lead singer of the band) 11 times in concert, and every single time it was like being born all over again. It's almost like getting my oil changed, every so often I get run down and need a good unwinding and theres nothing quite like hearing Sister Live to do that.

Run from Snow Patrol is pretty new to me, I just got the cd about a week ago, but it just had this way of reaching into my chest and becoming part of me. The song makes me incredibly sad but in a good way and I haven't been able to break away from its hold.

My friend and I are still working on 2 more lists. One is going to be a kind of, middle songs, ones that aren't very heavy, and they don't exactly grip us emotionally, but are just plain great in their own way. And also a list of the top 20 or so most adrenaline inducing rock songs in our own eyes. Don't expect much Yanni here....cept on my list....which will be all Yanni......

I'm really bored, I'll prolly post again before I go to sleep.
