Sunday Morning

Gotta love my Nietzsche and Kant...and of course, my Arctic Monkeys

 The public library is pretty awesome - I went a few days ago and found a few CDs that I had been coveting for a while. I was shocked that I found an Arctic Monkeys CD and a Foxboro Hot Tubs CD - more so for the Foxboro Hot Tubs CD than the Arctic Monkeys CD. I also checked out The Velvet Underground & Nico (hence the title of this post. I do realize though, that it is no longer Sunday Morning but rather Sunday Afternoon. Whatever.). Overall, I'm pretty satisfied with them so I figured I would post on them.

Favourite Worst Nightmare - Arctic Monkeys
So this was the Arctic Monkeys CD I found and it's such a great CD. I think I like every single song on it, no joke. A few particular songs I enjoyed a lot- Brianstorm, Teddy Picker, D is for Dangerous, Balaclava, Fluorescent Adolescent, Only Ones Who Know, Old Yellow Bricks and 505. I know. That's almost  all of the CD but I just can't get enough of the angst-y and catchy Arctic Monkeys. Oh gosh how I miss the old Arctic Monkeys (Suck It And See just wasn't my cup of tea <---- you see what I did there?)

Stop, Drop, and Roll - Foxboro Hot Tubs
I had been looking for this CD for the longest time and could not find it ANYWHERE, so imagine my surprise when I find it at the public library and get it for free. It was well worth the searching - I of course, love Green Day, but Foxboro Hot Tubs is a little bit different and is equally as good if not better than the most recent Green Day CD's. I don't really like the singles off it too much actually...weird, right? I love the song "Dark Side of the Night" though. It's like pure awesomeness compressed into 2 minutes and 58 seconds.

The Velvet Underground & Nico
This CD is classic...I liked a few songs off of it (some of them were a little too raw for my taste). "I'm Your I Mirror" is probably one of the most haunting songs ever written - I'm so infatuated with Nico's voice it's unnatural. Her vocals I like much more than Lou Reed's (sorry people, but it's true). She has one of those rare female voices that hold just as much weight as a guy's. So haunting and enchanting, I can't stop raving about her. "Heroin" is also a pretty good song...I must admit though, there are a few songs on this CD that I think I don't understand enough to truly appreciate.
