Right here, are some of the bands/CDs that I have been listening to lately. I give MY OWN ratings, so take them with many pinches of salt. I also provide links for more information about each band/CD so that everybody can live 'happily ever after'. Okay, get on with it!
My ratings...
�� + ������������ I got this CD free and I hate it.
��� ++ ��������� I bought on impulse and it suck. I only like 1 song!
��� +++ ������ The album's cool,� though I skip a few of the songs.
��� ++++ ��� Whoah Nelly! This CD is a food staple for a few/many days in my life!
��� +++++ � I went apeshit over this CD! I listened to it for at least a month, everyday!
First up is the newest album by Catatonia; International
Velvet. I kept hearing their songs on the radio and I found out that Cerys Williams (the
singer), has a really distinctive voice. So I do the next best thing - buy the album 3
months after I initially wanted to buy it. The album really blew me away. The lyrics are
comical even senseless at times ('goldfish and paracetamol'?) yet, the songs will get 'in'
you really soon. I played this album days in a row and it still gets to me.By the way,
this is their 4th album. A 'pick-me-up' kinda CD.
Songs that would eventually blow up my CD player if I dun stop playing them again & again & again...
Track 1 - Mulder and Scully; Track 2 - Game on; Track 3 - I am the Mob (shiok!); Track 4 - Road rage; Track 6 - Goldfish and Paracetamol (SPCA approved); Track 10 - Don't need the Sunshine

Adam's Catatonia Homepage - the only comprehensive site on the band that I could find.
I bought this like a few months after it came
out - hey, economic crisis man!�I thought 'Push It' was so cool until I heard the
rest of the tracks. Shirley Manson's voice has a rawness/desperation to it this time.
Despite all the techno stuff, the songs still sounds darker than their previous album.
Kudos to them for making me bang my head in front of my PC for hours. Now all that I need
to make it complete is Garbage coming down here... I missed them last time... I know, I
know, me=eeediot!
Songs that would eventually blow up my CD player if I dun
stop playing them again & again & again...
Track 1 - Temptation Waits; Track 5 - Special; Track 6 - Hammering in my Head; Track 7 - Push It; Track 8 - The trick is to keep breathing; Track 10 - Sleep together
My ratings... ++++1/2

Absolute Garbage.net - up-to-date site with everything there is to know abt. the band.
The Official Garbage Website - duh! Downloadable sounds and a rather good site for an 'official' site.
What an album! It's filled with hip-hop, rap,
indie, alternative, indie rock AND good ol' noisy rock! I bought this album initially for
the Missy Elliot track in it (her 'Supa Dupa Fly' album is not sold here). What I got is
this eclectic (sp?) mix of tracks from Busta Rhymes to Matthew Sweet to Guns N' Roses!
This is no 'surprise' knowing the movie itself is about 'teenagers coming of age'. I can't
wait to watch the movie to see where all the songs fit in. I saw clips of the movie and so
far, the scenes crack me up (I'm not a fan of Jennifer Love Hewitt though). You see the
guy with the goggles? He's damn funny! In the movie, he's this guy with a 'black' voice
who wanna lose his virginity on 'THE Night' (I think). I love this compilation!
Songs that would eventually blow up my CD player if I dun stop playing them again & again & again...
Track 2 - Smash Mouth's 'Can't Get Enough Of You Baby'; Track 6 - Missy "Misdemeanor" Elliott's 'Hit 'Em Wit Da Hee'; Track 10 - Feeder's 'High'; Track 11- Black Lab's 'Tell Me What To Say'; Track 15 - Guns N' Roses's 'Paradise City'
My ratings... ++++

Andrew's Can't Hardly Wait Webpage - cool website with everything you need to know about the movie. No, I do NOT know the ending of the movie. �����������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������
Can't Hardly Wait - the official website of the movie. Java heavy. Need Macromedia's Shockwave to see it to its full effects.
