Sick of hearing the same old Christmas songs over and over?
5 Dec 2008, 04:43 by RockOutMahn
Well, how bout something new?
My band just put up a little original, acoustic Christmas jingle called "Girlfriend For Xmas". The recording isn't the best, but hey, I guess it's better than hearing Jingle Bells for the 3992th time? =-P
Feel free to check it out, and don't be afraid to add us + comment us =)

Negativity.. numbah 2
4 Dec 2008, 23:18 by alcopop
So I felt the need to update this. yeah!
Be negative about your Top 20.
1. Say Anything
OMFG perverts. And phone sex with a minor? You're fucking 24, Bemis.. grow up.
2. Death Cab for Cutie
Fucking 7 minute long intros?
3. Ben Folds
OK so I get the whole nerd!piano!rock but can't you branch out?
(jk ilubb and i can't wait to see you in concert again)
4.Julia Nunes
START UPDATING WITH NEW SONGS EVERY GODDAMNED DAY
5.The Beatles
Stop being so fucking dead. I expect a new single by next week.
6. Weezer
Why is only one member famous?
7. Motion City Soundtrack
Cut your hair, hippies! And I expect a full album of songs like Antonia by the end of 2009. Get on it, you slackers
8. Muse
You LET SMEYER USE YOUR SONGS? Now all the fucking Twihards on campus blast this.. ruining good music.
9.Jason Mraz
What the fuck? Go back to your roots. You've become so lame.
10. The Hush Sound
I stopped listening to y'all when I found out someone I am not a fan of totally fucking loves you.. sorry, it's just a bad association.
11.Sherwood
Maybe mix it up on the vocals? and write songs about different things..?
12. Sondre Lerche
OK So maybe I haven't been listening to my bff sondre in a while.. but it's easy to get sick of acoustic music, no matter how beautiful the voice.
13. The Academy Is...
Urgh. I feel like I can't see you live because your fans are annoying 12 year olds.
14.The Mighty Boosh
R1 DVDS? US Touring? MAKE IT HAPPEN
15.Foo Fighters
Um. Stop being sold out everywhere.. and why did my brother get to see you when I didn't?
16. Vampire Weekend
You don't have to be super trendy hipster trash all of the time. And Blake's Got A New Face sucks balls.
17.The Bird and the Bee
Annoying vocals.. I can only listen for 1/2 a song, if that. And bad associations with overplay at Victoria's Secret.
18. Incubus
Can we get a new album/tour anytime soon?
19.Brad Neely
HOW HAVE I LISTENED TO YOU 123 TIMES IN THE LAST WEEK? I LOVE THIS.
20. Cartel
So.. I only liked your first album.. that's a bit shitty. Even though I loved every song on the first album (Chroma), that doesn't excuse you for the second album (Cartel)'s mediocrity -
