The Juliana Theory / The Ataris

Every week Best Buy puts a few of their CDs on sale for $6.99. I've noticed this but never really bought anything because usually it's people I've never heard. And then a month or so goes by and all of the sudden that band I'd never heard of before is all over the place. I missed out on music by Sum 41, Avril Lavigne, and several others over the last year or so. Anyway, the other day I went to Best Buy and picked up a new release by The Ataris and The Juliana Theory for $6.99 each. I'd never heard of either one, but I was desperate for some new tunes and thought I'd try my luck. Apart from a decent remake of The Boys of Summer, The Ataris, So Long Astoria, was a bust. But The Juliana Theory CD, Love... now this I like. AMG categorizes The Juliana Theory, along with bands like Weezer and Jimmy Eat World, as Emo. I dunno, I gave Weezer's Green Album a listen after listening to Love and I guess there are similarities. Love is certainly a MUCH better bargain given the Green Albums' 29 minute running length! Tracks 2, 3, 7, 9, 11, and 14 are particularly good (almost all of the prime numbered tracks.... weird). Anyway, if you're out looking for some new music you can do much worse than The Juliana Theory's, Love.

Hi, Casey

You need to check this out. Internet featuring the US' top man at the
Justice department bellowing "Let The Eagle Soar" - a song he
penned himself - after a speech he delivered at a Charlotte,
North Carolina seminary.

If you haven't had a look yourself, it's worth it:

I'm really going to have to get a different ISP soon. I tried to watch this at home and my crappy Earthlink connection wasn't up to the task, so I figured I'd try it at work. I can't watch it at work either, but that may be this new sucky firewall we have to put up with. Grrr.
