Good music you're missing out on

Hello. I'm listening to the Strokes and I'm pissed off at the fact that you're missing out on good music, just because the only shit you consume is hip-hop and mainstream rock. (Oh yeah, Pete Wentz, I'm looking at your overrated ass.) I mean, is there any other music that you listen to besides from Fall Out Boy and whoever? Well, I'm gonna admit that I don't really knock off all of hip-hop; I like songs with lyrics that aren't about bling, sex, cash and niggas. And I like Kanye West for the fact that his clothes fit.

I get a lot of good music from the radio, but I choose my stations--and they usually have no hip-hop (again, lyrics). Jam 88.3, Nu 107, sometimes that techno station 107.9 and sometimes that classical station 98.7 whenever I want to pretend I'm a conductor while I'm caught in traffic. I get a lot of good music there. I discovered the Magic Numbers, Peter Bjorn and John, (partly) the Strokes, Weezer, Razorlight, Phoenix, and a lot of other good shiz.

If you're not in my circle of friends (way to be elitist, Vic!) , then I'm guessing you don't listen to the kind of music I do and I can more or less pigeonhole you into the listener category which I loathe.

Bands!

(And these are just some.)

1. The Strokes
2. Apples in Stereo
3. Peter Bjorn and John
4. The New Pornographers
5. Kaiser Chiefs
6. Aerosmith
7. The Who
8. Jimi Hendrix (And the JH Experience too)
9. Daft Punk (And that's not even rock.)
10. Death Cab for Cutie

If you could, give me a peso for every band you don't know, and I'll give you five if you do know a band or two.

Lemme end this post (that sucks because I'm too pissed to think straight) with a couple of charts which express my opinions.

Well, the caption for that pic from DieselSweeties.com (great webcomic) is that it's elitist. Meh.

Take a look at that last chart. Yes, Miley Cyrus and Ashley Simpson. You're shitting on those good people. (I got it from Cracked.Com, by the way. It's by Winston Rowntree.)

Anyway, maybe you'll hear more from me about it. Maybe. Thanks for reading.
