ELPOYL's National Extravagant Playlist of the Year of 2008*. (*who knows)

Lets say that this update, being as long has it has been since I've last posted, will be formatted as a plain and direct article of music information. Formatting is for people who care about formatting.

By now I'll bet you've notice the vocal/musical part of this blog, if not it'll be located at the top of each blog post below the title.
I'll briefly go over a few musicians and bands that have made me sane over the past few months. Which I'll refrain from rambling by using my blog as a script (unfortunately I was rushed to get this blog out there so I had to rid of the audio this time around), I'll try to say words as I write them, but I may add one or two where they don't belong.

Like I said, staying on topic... I'll be going through these series of events that I've experienced over the passed few months and give you a background song to go with the experience. Don't expect long winded stories, I hate story telling, but I love music.

Here is a few that I've had a blast experimenting with, unfortunately I don't have the face for TV or a voice for Radio so I'll be verbally abusing the microphone.

• My friend gets back from US Army basic training and we plan our trip to Lollapalooza which upon my arrival to Chicago I eventually get lost (too high to remember where I was) from the two other mates I traveled with and I was verbally abused by a nice polish man and his family, then pay a few more dollars than I should have to get to the correct L-train, but ended up on the wrong side of town laughing.

This is what I think about this album:
The guitar hates the synthesizer and the synthesizer is totally envying some from Ellen. All seriousness aside, this album really puts out quite a few love amps for a big guy like me. They seem to sing, but I'm pretty sure its just love amps falling out of their instruments of choice.

Wait okay, this saddens me, I just read...

"Pop, twee, with bits of post-rock from time to time, and a whole lot of silliness thrown in. Vive le pop. Innit.

Hold on now youngster, this is a good thing to look into the maw of the void, but let's not be excessive, there is still Los Campesinos!. And one day you will wake in the middle of the night and the water on your face will not be from the cold sweat that your dreams of impending doom have produced but from tears of joy squeezed out by a lingering melody, a droning violin, a haunting mantra or a panic attack brought on by a song so tight and serene and messy and polished and dense that it suffocates you like the fumes of the paint that made your favourite album covers. Actually, it's just pop music."

This just flabber's my noodle into a cradle of straws... I've never written as well as this article can demonstrate, but damn it, I have to step up and slap down some extravagant words! (and spll thm rite) Now, I just stumbled onto that article looking for a bio for the band members, and NME or who ever they are have never heard of me but I hereby challenge them to a music journalist write off! My pure and simplistic style to contest their whitty, flab tastic, adjective blurred article! Go Go! (oh, forget about what I wrote above, that's shit.)

Oh yeah, about this article.
My writing is a joke.
Proofreading is a bitch.
That's the punch line.
This is about as funny as it is going to get.
Or not, who knows.
Just listen to music and make me proud.
