3 Bands I always wanted to listen to but never did.

1. Dinosaur Jr. (Trent Peacock, my youth pastor, introduced me. How? I don't know)

2. Fugazi (i heard some when i roomed with C Custer last year. Also, there was this guy in my junior english class. Derek Strong. We had to do a project where you picked a song that said some thing about social injustice and stuff. So naturally people picked like Bob Dylan or Jack Johnson [okay that was me] or that big yellow taxi song. Anyways, homeboy plays a fugazi tune and no one said a word after it finished. it was the best thing ever. I secretly felt bad because at the beginning of the year I remember telling everyone i thought he was going to kill us [and for selling out/taking the easy route with a JJ song]. Strong was a quiet type, but i underestimated him in my attempt to make my peers laugh, and also probably on many other occasions. So Derek Strong- Im sorry. I like you. Your're an okay guy. I hope I can prove to you someday I am too.)

3. Ryan Adams (i just got really angry because i couldn't remember my third pick. But i just remembered- its Ryan Adams. My confession is that the only song of his i really know is his Wonderwall cover. Which I'm pretty sure is way better. And i dare say that even Noel Gallagher himself agrees. Tell me if I'm wrong, but Gallagher copied parts of a song from a guy who copied him but made it sound cooler.)

EDIT: I decided to lose the stingray sidebar. As cool as it was, it just didn't fit the theme. And i didn't feel like taking the time to make the colors match. It would have been trying too hard. And that, my friends, is not classy.

dyk: All my friends and I listened to in high school was Ryan Adams. Every car ride, every whatever. Now, I couldn't even sing you one song.

ps-A lion sidebar would match nicely.
