yeah. nothing against people who get band tattoos. it's just not for me. I mean, there was a time when I was obsessed with Third Eye Blind and Bush. haha. imagine if I was old enough to get a tattoo back then and I'd be stuck with that thing today. My taste in music changes so much.

I teach high school and some of those kids - under 18 - have tattoos that are downright ridiculous. If I was able to get a tattoo at 16, I would have gotten something related to Good Charlotte. And 11 years later, I'd be pissed at myself.

I recommend watching Hannibal Buress's new comedy special and the new season of Workaholics, both are hilarious.
As far as books, I just picked up Sober Living For The Revolution: Hardcore Punk, Straight Edge, and Radical Politics. It's a collection of essays and interviews from people in the punk scene. It examines the relationship between straight-edge, punk rock, and politics. I just got done with the Ian MacKaye chapter. It was a good read.

I'm about two thirds of the way through that book. Fantastic stuff.

Seriously, if you're not listening to either of these... you're doing the music thing wrong.

I just don't get how anyone can get excited over scripted "submissions."

I'm finally really getting into mewithoutYou's newest. So damn good. Love the animal-themed storyline.

I know neither of those bands but this is sounding awesome.

Not the first time I've heard these guys compared to JEW, and its a comparison I do not get at all.

If I saw someone with a 3EB tattoo that they got years ago, I would give them the biggest high five ever. I would get a 3EB tattoo and never regret it.

Listen to:

Hawthorne Heights - Hope
Say Anything - In Defense of the Genre

Loved these albums soooo much when I was a freshman in high school. Great pop rock music.
