Music

I had the worst headache last night and it has continued through today. Sigh. And I need to do homework, but I realized that it's in the car that Kyle took to work. I give up.

So I decided to watch Labyrinth. After about 20 minutes of that, I got distracted by talking to Ben about Bronson. Then he mentioned that I should listen to OPB at that moment. I asked why and he said it was the worst thing he's ever heard on radio. So I tuned in. It was in the middle of an interview, but I decided to listen to see if this is truly was the worst thing on radio ever. I learned that the band was called Run On Sentence (Water, These Hills/Out in the Woods, The Afterlife Pt. 1). At first I was inclined to agree with Ben. His voice was grating, but the music was amazing, so I persisted and listened to the rest of the set. I'm glad I did. His voice is growing on me and I really like the style of music. Then I decided to go to the In House website so I could find the rest of the music they played on the set. Once there, I found a whole bunch of artists Kyle has introduced me to and some I've found on my own that I had to check out (with my favs):
