FEBRUARY 2011
February already! The Super Bowl is in 2 days (this blog is about a week late), and let's hope the Steelers trounce Green Bay.
I've been feeling better lately because of music. Music just affects my soul like nothing else. I like to saturate my head with just a single song, 'hearing' it in my memory all day long - that alone is better than having no music at all, from a radio, from streaming, or wherever else.
OK, let's talk about the charts! Chevelle is #1 again, for only the second week, but has been in the Top 5 for EIGHT weeks. It's a catchy song, no doubt.
"I Was a Teenage Anarchist" reminds me of "Freak of the Week", by Marvelous 3 for some reason. This song is fun indulgence. Its saving grace is the refrain.
Here comes Godsmack again! This is the third song from the most recent album - sort of. "I Blame You" is not on the actual CD I bought, but its on the accompanying DVD, as is "Whiskey Hangover", a song that did not chart but got decent airplay last year. This is stupid and a pain. Enough was said by reviewers on amazon.com, and I agree with them in questioning why they would do this. "I Blame You" is my favorite song of the whole lot of new ones, too.
I really should research my charts - I'm pretty sure Godsmack is the most charting band, with most #1s and most number of times more than one song of theirs charted at the same time.
Wow - this time last year, the Silversun Pickups were still going strong with the album "Swoon". What a great CD that is.
It's always fascinating for me to look at the charts from 2001 and 1998 - to me, the 1990s up to about 2003 were a golden era for hard alternative...or alternative in general. There were so many great songs.
