My Top 5 Songs

I start a new job this week.  I have rejoined the human race.  The reasons I feel my previous place of employment was (no, IS) an abortion and the most fucked up organization are too numerous, and too in-depth.   I am done.  I have a better job, with hopefully a better culture, with better people, waiting for me.  I am actually looking foward to GOING TO WORK....this is the first time in over 15 years that I can say that.  I am late this month with the charts. But what an interesting month it is! Mastodon - out. I never did go back and "revisit" the album that charted just two songs.  I barely remember any of that album.  I will listen to it again several times - I don't think I really absorbed it.  This little known band, Shin Guard has the #1 spot, and another song at #4.  I always forget how I stumble on a band on youtube, and somehow get attached to a couple of their songs.  Maybe it's because they are an unsigned b...
