This is just a list of all my CD's I have (including some that I haven't listened to in years, and are a little embarrassing to put on this list lol). Because this is a CD collection I will not include any mp3's, vinyl, or cassettes (I don't have any cassettes or vinyl so it's pretty easy to exclude those lol).

I looked at a few other people's CD collection lists and found a few different designs but I liked this design the most.

Chapter 1. Bitches Leave

My third primer post covers a band that, unlike the previous two Primer selections, has already broken up. In fact, Be Your Own Pet were only in existence for a total of four years, releasing two LPs and an EP between 2004 and 2008 before (true to form) abruptly imploding. Nonetheless, during their brief career, BYOP succeeded in achieving their fair share of notoriety and critical acclaim, despite being teenagers for the better part of their existence and hailing from Nashville, Tennessee, a city that, though it has developed a healthy local alternative scene in the past decade, will never be a metropolis one associates with things like “indie credibility.”

Of note: For those of you with short memories, one might consider the Aughts as a decade in which alternative rock artists were obsessed with credibility and authenticity. And as LCD ironically noted, the “scene” kids in the Aughts were so obsessed with credibility because they were inauthentic as shit. …

(posted on Facebook on 6/24/11)

Well it all started on June 22, when i was goin to the library with my grandma to get some books. there was this book that caught my eye.

So now that i have seen this book with its many names, im gonna give my personal review of each band that is listed so far that ive read.

Mott the Hoople is awesome.
Ookla the Mok is pretty good.
Kajagoogoo is OK.
Hoobastank, meh.
Jamiroquai is pretty interesting.
Fugazi is hardcore.
Chumbawumba is unique.
Oingo Boingo is probably good when ur relaxing.
Scritti Politti is..........meh, again.
The Rezillos,.....HATE THE SINGER'S VOICE!
Wang Chung is awesome!
Mungo Jerry is awesome at being a classic rock group.
The Mooney Suzuki is becoming one of my favorites! :D
Lacuna Coil is overrated.
Gonculator is actually pretty fun to listen to.
Lynyrd Skynyrd, of course, is ROCKIN!!!!!!!!!!
moe. is......pleasant to the ear.
Marillion, in my perspective, is more of a on-again, off-again situation.
My Life with the Thrill Kill Kult is splendid.
