i put Incubus's Morning View and Hoobastank's debut in my 3 cd rotator...and after several listens, i've pretty much come to the conclusion that Incubus have nearly worn out their welcome. I enjoy maybe...half of the record, and the other half just gives me a headache. TERRIBLE RECORDING QUALITY, which i cannot understand. and Brandon has resorted to yelling (not screaming, but singing very loudly) incomprehensibly on several occasions; there would be no way to understand certain vocal lines if the lyrics weren't included in the booklet...so this saddens me. as far as Hoobastank goes, i enjoy every song on the record, and after watching their video for "Crawling in the Dark," it's obvious to me that their stage show is much more entertaining than Incubus's. also, the recording quality is MUCH better than Morning View's-and it's not even THAT good.
S.C.I.E.N.C.E. will forever remain as one of the best quality recordings i've heard, and i just CANNOT understand how so many aspects of Incubus's music have gone down the tubes. *tear* "Nothing gold can stay..."

expect a listing of my favorite albums/songs/movies of the year sometime soon. props to Frank for making the idea available for theft.

how many of you will disown me after i grow my dreads?

math ends today. one last exam...which i have yet to study for. so...i'm predicting a very, very bad grade...but maybe something crazy will happen, and it'll wind up being insanely easy. one can only hope.

if anyone has any advice on how to best preserve/improve my voice, i'd be very grateful.
I swear...if i could only have one present for christmas, it would be an extended vocal range. in all honesty, there's nothing i want more than that right now-to sing virtually any note that i please. i HATE not being able to hit certain notes. HATE. so please...if anyone knows how i could best work on this...or knows of a special elixir or something that would help...or knows a specialist that i could hire...ANYTHING-let me know. Rock.

Meghan Hamblet is officially my bitch. her blog says so.

loreleia: i hope everything went well with the ACT...you've gotta' be able to come up here. there's no room for debate on this issue.

saw most of a pretty cool movie last night, called Love Kills. deranged action/comedy flick with Mario Van Peebles and Daniel Baldwin, along with other faces that i've seen but cannot name. Seeing Mario with his dreads inspired the whole resurgence of a desire for my own. very cool, very smooth.

alright...i'm forcing myself to sleep. we're on the homestretch, guys...
