Change of Plans

I had planned to go to bed early this evening, but just as I was going to get into the shower so that I could properly clean my piercings, my sister started a shower in her bathroom. I decided that I didn't want to fight over the hot water, and now, without much of a segway, here I am 90 minutes later: drunk and with a fresh beer and full glass of whiskey in front of me listening to the Carpenters.

That's not who you were expecting is it?

I listen to about 15 seconds of most of the songs, the ones I haven't heard before, and then I'm on to the next one. I like the songs I know. The rest sound more bad than the ones that I like sound good. Surely, there were better words that I could have used to express that thought, but I just couldn't lay 'em down. Heck, there's nearly 70 songs on that box album. I can't take it.

I need to listen to the new Bowling for Soup album anyway. I've really only listened to the first album, and I'm sure the emphasis at the show will be the new stuff. I need to go out and find some MC Lars stuff. Sounds like it may have potential. I have two or three songs each from American Hi Fi and Riddlin' Kids. I thought Ben Weasel was involved with Riddlin' Kids, but now that I look for supporting information on that, I think I'm wrong. You know the sound though: Screeching Weasel, Riverdales, Queers.

Some of this Bowling for Soup stuff is not rocking me hard enough. I enjoy the silly, teenage-punk lyrics, but the droning attempts to be lyrical and good on their instruments is more than I'm looking for.

Listening to a little more of A Hangover You Don't Deserve, , I think that if they stick to the stuff that they surely know that they should stick to in a live venue, they'll be fine. They've got some good, straght-forward, rockin' stuff.

This song would be the Malcolm in the Middle anthem if it weren't for the swearing.
