Now here’s an interesting album cover:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I had only heard this song<\/a> by this band when I bought that album back in 1996.\u00a0 Yes, I bought it on the strength of the one song and the nice image of a girl dressed up to look like a robot.\u00a0 She sure looks like a robot to me.<\/p>\n

No more pics of her anywhere else inside the album, I can report.\u00a0 And the rest of the album is actually quite good.\u00a0 I downloaded this band’s next album from their MySpace page<\/a>, where it is offered free because their record company deleted it from their catalogue.<\/p>\n

Go ahead and download it if you like “pop punk”, which is all this music is.\u00a0 It’s nothing special or fancy.\u00a0 Their self-titled album was much better.\u00a0 I can see why their label dumped them after the next one.<\/p>\n

And seeing that MySpace page again, I see they’re offering the album “Pluto” free for download too.\u00a0 You know what to do.\u00a0 Go ahead and grab that one.<\/p>\n

I feel I must also say something about the music video link I posted above.\u00a0 I couldnt’ watch for more than 30 seconds.\u00a0 Videos are so retarded.\u00a0 I’ve never liked watching a video with the music… even when I used to “watch” MuchMusic with my ex, I would usually just listen.<\/p>\n

My ex didn’t like this album… or this song.\u00a0 She loved Collective Soul and Soul Assylum as I recall.\u00a0 Funny how the feelings of someone else can influence how you like something later on.\u00a0 I don’t have anything from those two bands on my iPod but I have some Pluto and I Mother Earth and some other stuff she didn’t like.<\/p>\n

And I really don’t have much more to say about the song… other than I got it when I bought a pair of jeans from Eaton’s downtown.\u00a0 Here in Canada, we once had stores called Eaton’s.\u00a0 They were once the biggest retailers in Canada, now they’re a memory.\u00a0 But anyway, I remember going to the til with my jeans, and there was this really cute blonde girl behind the desk.\u00a0 Being my idiot 22-year-old self, I mumbled and probably stuttered a bit and made a complete ass of myself because she was pretty.\u00a0 I remember that it was only after I got home that I realized there was this promotional CD in the bag too.<\/p>\n

I pulled it out, exclaimed WTF and threw it in the CD player… my Sony Discman plugged into my stereo.\u00a0 I remember the CD also had Ma$e on it.\u00a0 Lol.\u00a0 Ma$e.\u00a0 He’s a preacher now.\u00a0 Rich man braging about all his posessions for Jesus.\u00a0 What a fucking joke.<\/p>\n

Eaton’s reminds me of this<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
