Snyder ,'Chosen'
There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.
Dear Science is quite fucking good, by the by.
Oh, good. I'll be sure to pick it up. I think I have a handful of songs from Return to Cookie Mountain -- they were interesting songs, if I remember. It's been a while since I listened to them though.
I know Fleet Foxes are going to top my personal list since I've been psycho-obsessed with them for most of the year, and at least they're up there.
I like Dear Science a lot, and I'm sorry I missed them the last time they played Boston.
Mmmm, I've enjoyed a lot out of Fleet Foxes too. They came up in my NME a lot, so I checked 'em out.
The Walkmen? Huh. I saw then open for Spoon and I was underwhelmed to the point of almost falling asleep on my feet, but I guess every band is allowed to have an off night.
So, um. Does anyone else have an excuse to like Miley Cyrus? Or am I the only one?
I have nothing against her, and her songs are fun. I feel a little sorry for her, being in the Disney machine and all, but she seems to be handling it well.
TV On the Radio, huh? Hmmm.
MADE OF AWESOMENESS. Love them.
This year was a good year for me, music-wise. Lots of concerts, lots of good albums. Drive-By Truckers, Lupe Fiasco, The Hold Steady, Gym Class Heroes, Gaslight Anthem - I should check my home iTunes for a better cross-section.

I think her parents are able to help her cope better than, say, Lindsey Lohan's.

True, but her parents are also the ones that okayed the (tempest in a teapot) Vogue shoot and then got publicly hand-wringy and all "OH NOES OUR VIRGIN DAUGHTER".
There's worse fates than the Disney Machine like "not being a pop star at all".
I deffinately think her parents having a clue, being sane, and not considering her a meal ticket have maed the whole thing a lot more reasonable.
That's true, it's more like Ron Howard's parents being actors and giving him really great career support as a kid actor.
I'm always impressed by how both Ron and his brother Clint (who has worked for years but is far less famous) appear to be sane, together guys.
