1. The Vines – Highly Evolved: “Autumn Shade”
2. The Killers – Sam’s Town: “When You Were Young”
3. AFI – Sing the Sorrow: “Girl’s Not Grey”
4. blink-182 – Dude Ranch: “Emo”
5. Our Lady Peace – Gravity: “A Story About A Girl”
6. The Smashing Pumpkins – Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness: “Bodies”
7. Alabama – For the Record: “Fallin’ Again”
8. Sugarland – Twice the Speed of Life: “Something More”
9. Live – Throwing Copper: “Stage”
10. Coldplay – LeftRightLeftRightLeft: “42”

It seems like this is the only type of post I ever have time to do anymore.  But because of time commitments it will have to do for now.  I like the Killers and “When You Were Young” is my second favorite Guitar Hero song to play after Rise Against’s “Prayer of the Refugee”.  I wish “Girl’s Not Grey” was on the Guitar Hero games that I own.  I’m going to have to look into what AFI songs are available besides “Miss Murder”.

Throwing Copper is a terrific album, and the The Vines were not the second coming of the Beatles but were also not the second coming of The Sundown Playboys either.  Two country songs made the cut this week too.  The first concert I ever went to was Alabama at the Red River Valley Fair in Fargo, ND.  It was awesome even before the laser light show after their set.

What’s on your list for today?

Hope every one has a happy and safe holiday weekend.  Here’s my 10 random songs for April 10th 2009:

1. Cold War Kids – Loyalty to Loyalty: “I’ve Seen Enough”
2. Our Lady Peace – Happiness Is Not a Fish That You Can Catch: “One Man Army”
3. Aerosmith – O, Yeah! Ultimate Aerosmith Hits Disc 2: “Falling in Love (Is Hard on the Knees)”
4. Hellogoodbye – Zombies! Aliens! Vampires! Dinosaurs!: “Oh, It Is Love”
5. Lit – Atomic: “Drop D”
6. Our Lady Peace – Clumsy: “Shaking”
7. No Use for a Name – Hard Rock Bottom: “Friends of the Enemy”
8. Dierks Bentley – Long Trip Alone: “The Heaven I’m Headed To”
9. Coldplay – X&Y: “Track 14”
10. Bowling For Soup – Drunk Enough to Dance: “Life After Lisa”
11. Bonus Song because it just fits in: Simple Plan – No Pads, No Helmets…Just Balls: “Meet You There”

I’ve seen Hellogoodbye live once, where they opened for Motion City Soundrack at Drake.  MCS was great, but Hellogoodbye had one of the weirdest sets I’ve ever seen.  I almost stopped listening to them after that.  Cold Wars Kids’ last two albums are some of my favorites right now.  I just can’t stop listening to them. Man this list is turning out well so far: Lit and No Use for a Name popped up.  “Friends of the Enemy” might be one of the greatest running songs ever written; the mood and tempo are perfect.  Dierks decides to shake things up with some twang, and its probably the closest to religious subject matter that this list will get too.

This list gets the yickit seal of approval.  The only song I don’t really listen too on this list is the Aerosmith, and even that song isn’t too shabby.

I also recently acquired three new albums:

1. The Libertines – Time For Heroes
2. Less Than Jake – Pezcore [10 Year Special Edition]
3. Modest Mouse – The Lonesome Crowded West

I’m digging all three so far.  What’s on your list today?
