Ok, I need to catch up my Harry Potter franchise consumption. I do like the books, for a variety of reasons. (1) Well written. (2) Fun. (3) Provide a cultural touchstone with essentially every child on earth and 75% of college students and some crotchety old people. (4) I like fantasy novels, always will; they are the trashy romance of my book lists. I’ve been feeling nostalgic lately, and reading those books takes me back to high school summers, when I am 98% sure I did not actually have any cares in the world. Seriously. No cares. Anyhow, I think I am caught up on the books (am I? I may not have read the latest slime green one … and I say that with respect to Mary GrandPre), but I do need to see at least two of the movies.
Additionally, Bleed American (I call it by the old title) by Jimmy Eat World is very nearly a perfect album. While I listened to all the old songs on it scattered about before, I finally listened to the songs in their album order and was blown away. Amazing - perfect summer cruising, Friday getting ready, or Monday pick me up album - can’t say that for many musical compliations.
I was going to say something else here. I think it might be that I will be researching chemistry and observing dentistry this summer. The blog will be pretty much saturated with dentistry for … possibly the rest of its existence. If all goes well. Fingers (toes!) are crossed; immature as that may be.

Bleed American is a good album, but their best is still 1999's Clarity. For any other fans of the band, I 'd say it's worth purchasing their new EP. The 1st track Disintegration is killer.

Holy crap Nils. I picked that up as you recommended. That remix to "Drugs Or Me" is not at all what I expected but it's one of the best mellow tracks out this year.

I'm not judging im just wondering when I'm gonna get the hook up.
