Eargasm

Once again I find myself not posting nearly as much as I should be, but today I finally said enough is enough lets post something fun. So what do I want to talk about, first I want to thank Pitt for making me pay $35 to submit my need based financial

add material. To say that I am in desperate need of med school cash I have to pay them. Doesn't that seem just a bit counter productive. And all this so I can stay on their waitlist.

What I wanna talk about more than med school today is music. Sorta the inspiration for the name of the blog so at some point I should write about what I'm listening too, right.

Why does Passion Pit appeal to me so much. I'm not even sure if I really know. The singers voice is interesting, the beats are fun, and I can picture nothing wrong in the world when I'm listening to their songs.

Up until about 9 months ago my music tastes were broad, but within reason. If you looked at my iTunes, Dave Matthews Band had more plays than all other bands combined. Why? dMb got me through many hard times. Before These Crowded Streets will still be the album I go to when life gets to hard.

What happened in those last 9 months you ask. I don't know, but I think every bit of my life now has a song I can associate with it.

1. Dance Party Garrett

2. Chill Garrett

3. ROCK YOUR FACE OFF GARRETT

4. Future Wife

What am I trying to say here. I think everyone should listen to at least 10 songs a day. I don't care if its the same 10 songs, but music is a must. It can take you to new worlds, emotional highs and lows and give words to things you just can't explain. Don't be afraid to be that kid singing along on your way to class. Don't be afraid to be the one tapping their toes to a good beat. NEVER apologize for listening to your music too loud because your just that into it.

I'm going to try to post videos of great songs as I go. I will from now on incorporate them into my posts. Again, why? To understand me, you have to know my mindset and I can gurantee my mindset is linked to the music that shaped the event.

Passion Pit

I kept reading about this band Passion Pit. I think to myself what a stupid name. Who wants to have passion in a pit. I wanna have passion on a cruise ship or at the bare minimum my bed, but a pit? Sounds about as un fun as passion can be. The band however kept getting rave reviews. I finally broke down and "got" the CD. "Got" will be my term for the semi illegal practice of torrenting. After listening to the album I understand where Passion Pit comes from. Something in my pit said I should have a passion for the album "Manners." It's catchy and rocking. I'm still in the honey moon phase with the album, and the honey moon phase is always dangerous. I'm pretty sure that I will stay enamored with the album though which allows me to write about it. I highly suggest giving the album a spin.

A FEW KEY TRACKS

To Kingdom Come

Make Light

On a side note, I would like to thank the people of Massachusetts for their intelligence. You have the chance to honor Ted

Kennedy, but instead you decide to shoot America in the foot. If Ted could roll over in his grave, he did, (he also probably

threw up, swore, kicked dirt at the ump, and got a technical foul all in the span of 45 seconds.) I also felt like throwing up,

but I used my time more wisely, I thought of ways to turn Jack Bauer against the new senator. I came up with a few ideas.

The most likely is that the Senator wants to get in Kim Bauer's pants and Jack must stop him and then expose him to the

world. (The key to this scenario is that EVERYONE wants in Kim's pants so framing him won't be the hardest task ever.)
