Sometimes music sounds SO good

Ever have one of those days where you just get thrilled and excited by everything you hear? I set last.fm to play "Jesus Lizard radio" and have been enjoying the hell out of everything. Pissed Jeans are a really good band? Who knew? They sound kind of like a cross between the Jesus Lizard (of course?) and the New Flesh.

Karp effing rock. Is everything by the Unsane this good? I'm even seriously digging this song by Girls Against Boys and it's from their major label sell-out album "Freakonica." This Drive Like Jehu song is kicking my ass. And now "Cheeba" by the Boredoms is literally giving me chills. Damn, that song is amazing! That whole album, "Pop Tatari," is unbelievably good.

It could be partly because I didn't sleep at all the night before last then went straight to a new job assignment and worked until 8:30pm on almost no food - and now I've had a night's rest, am home for the day, have a cup of coffee and bagel, and sun's coming through the windows. I feel like exercising!

Maybe it's also because I haven't listened to ROCK music much these days and have forgotten how it can actually be awesome. Mostly been jamming noise, no-wave, and death metal for a long time.

In any case, it's a very good music day. Really enjoying this mellow Oneida song too. Strangely I haven't heard any Jesus Lizard yet.

Here's me on last.fm:
