Terrible Music

I haven't updated in awhile because I've been listening to terrible music.
New reviews coming soon.

This is why we can't have nice things...

It was quite recently brought to my attention that I love obscure bands in the same sense as my nine year old sister in law loves the Jonas Brothers and Mylie Cyrus. A great example of this is my So Many Dynamos ringtone. Who are So Many Dynamos? Only four of the most adorable, lovable, and musically breathtaking young men I have personally seen live, and that's really saying something.
I love going to shows and seeing bands I have never seen before. It's similar to my birthday, Christmas, Mother's Day, and an anniversary all rolled into one for me. I show up at Blank Venue in Somewheresville, USA honestly not knowing what's going to happen, who's going to be an asshole, or what sort of people I will meet that day. It's my favorite activity and it is always a surprise, good or bad. I have, unfortunately, seen considerably more dreadful and truly appalling bands than I have decent or even alright bands.
In the case of So Many Dynamos, their show at the Darkroom in Baton Rouge was such a nugget of splendid in a sea of ghastly that I still can't forget it. Even to the extent that I have Search Party as my ringtone on my cellular device. They're that good.

Holy Background Music, Batman!,

I am so excited right now! I have finally and quite officially found the perfect fucking music. Literally fucking music. There is absolutely nothing better to fuck to than Russian Circles. It's heavy, progressive, with a steady, moderate pace, and is completely without all of those pesky lyrics that seem to always ruin the mood. Go ahead. Set your own mood! No one needs to know, it's your bedroom.
Six Russian Circles songs were tested and all of them passed with flying colors.
Oh my God. I just gave myself a boner just thinking about it.

First Order of Business

Neil Diamond is amazing. This is such a fact that it's not even worth stating. It's like Crocs being trashy or Gautier smelling like dog food. Now, some of you may have been considering buying his new record, Home Before Dark. Do it. It's awesome. Trust me on this one. Sadly, you may be thinking, "I love Neil Diamond's voice and remarkable showmanship, but Home Before Dark is too slow to listen to while doing any of my normal daily activities." That isn't true at all. Let me help you out.
Here are some great situations for listening to Home Before Dark:
+Falling asleep
+Driving home either early in the morning or late at night from somewhere far away after a long night of terrible sex with someone you aren't even sure if you like
+Background music while taking a shit or shaving your legs
+Walking slowly
+Reading the newspaper or other publication that doesn't need any actually concentration
+Getting ready for a date, or dinner with your parents if you're anything like me

See. There are plenty of situations that call for slow, acoustic Neil Diamond.
Love it. I know you can!

Allow me to introduce myself.

Hello hello.
I'm Kate. I'm a fairly boring person, I'm mediocre in bed, and I am extremely opinionated.
I had a decent sized local music blog for several years, but I've passed it on to someone with more time on their hands.
Holla.
