Welcome to the land of ice & snow.

How many of you remember the movie Ten Things I Hate About You? How many of you still worship it? Whenever I was around eight years old this movie was released and I watched it with my brother in the theater. I bought the soundtrack a few years later because I could never find it back whenever the movie was released. I then discovered my love for Letters to Cleo. I'd always adored the music that was played as the background tracks on the movie, and I'd finally found a face to the music. I swiftly found their album Wholesale Meat and Fish (which is one of the few albums that had "dirty" cover art that I owned at the time), and fell in love further. So I extend my love to you today, listen to the Letters to Cleo that I love.

I suppose I chose this song out of inspiration (well, what lack thereof) from American Idol last night. What do you mean, you might ask? Well, aside from the major lack of talent on the show in the past few years and the wrong contestants winning every year since the first, there was a decent performance that was overlooked last night. It was by Bo Bice and Led Zeppelin, it was the only one that didn't manage to make my ears well up with blood. Even my metal head friend, Robert, agrees (his sister and parents watch it every episode, which is the same that I can say for my own parents). I may even hate the song that they performed, but I can never deny a good performance no matter who it is by. So in honour of one of the guests on American Idol last night, here is a song by Led Zeppelin, one of the very few songs by them that I enjoy--not that I'm saying they aren't a good band, they just don't venture into my musical taste that often.

In my freshman year, briefly before the pop-punk frenzy burst into full force, I discovered an EP at my local record store after my friend Katie had been talking nonstop about this band. So I bought the CD and listened to it on repeat for months. Then, out of nowhere, the Yellowcard frenzy had been set onfire. There were teenyboppers everywhere screaming for that poor Ryan Key. I hadn't even known they had released a new CD in years. I had only had their Underdog EP and One for the Kids. I bought their new CD to be let down into dissapointment, they no longer had their unpolished rough underground pop-punk sound, but instead a mainstream collection of hooks and made for radio lyrics. However, I stayed loyal to them. I'm still a minor fan of the new, but a major fan of the old. So here is "vintage" Yellowcard from their Underdog EP for all to hear.

I apologize for the fact that I do believe all songs are in .mp4 sound format. I will make sure the rest are in .MP3 or .WMA format from now on. If you want to request songs, just leave a comment.
ALSO! A million thank yous for the support goes to Jack at Revolution in the Head for the featured blog post you made with us in it! :)
