17. Brian Wilson – Roll Plymouth Rock
18. The Used (http://www.theused.net) - Back of Your Mouth

Have any bands you think I'd like? I'd love to hear them. Remember: I'm the biggest sucker for pop punk.

Oh, and I still love Fall Out Boy more than life for having the best merch ever.
AND: I would like to make it known I'm so freaking excited for The Grudge.

And hereee's Jesse!


Jai Agnish (http://www.jaiagnish.com/) (Automata) How You Dream

Mew (http://www.mewsite.com/) (Frengers) Am I Rye? No

Ratatat (http://www.ratatatmusic.com/) (Ratatat) Lapland

Eels (http://www.eelstheband.com/) (Daisies of the Galaxy) It’s a Motherfucker

The Killers (http://www.thekillers.co.uk/) (Hot Fuss) All These Things That I've Done

After a couple hours of telling Jesse what to do, and him contemplating exactly what he was going to write, he came up with the simple statement of: They remind me of the places I want to be when I can't be there… like a mix tape.

I second that. And based on that mix, Jac should check out the new Pinback CD.

[swrilltearuaprt]

I love that Rocky V. song!
not to take away from the rest of the mix, because it rocks.

[EvenBetterYet]

16. This Past Year – It Gets Dark

[foreverfallen]

"Chimera Obscurant" is an awesome song (as is that whole CD).

I see Mew gets some more love...Ratatat is decent as well from what I remember of them anyways.

Nic Gatsby told me about them a while ago but I haven't really gotten into them recently. They are really kickass though.
