Man, I’m weird.
I had a gift card to Best Buy, so I went to purchase some overpriced music.
To my surprise, they had Neutral Milk Hotel’s “In The Aeroplane over The Sea”, so I bought that.
Then I had to choose between Mars Volta’s De-Loused in the Comatorium, Moby’s Play and Jimmy Eat World’s Futures. Now I’ve heard some of De-Loused, All of Futures, and only the radio single from Play, but I’ve been admonished to listen to it.
I threw Moby out pretty easily…..I mean I have to listen to it on Rhapsody first. But Mars Volta vs. JEW was tough. I flipped a coin, cause I honestly didn’t care which album I bought.
Jimmy Eat World won. Woo.
So I chose between art-rock and pop with a coin. Man I’m weird.
And I’ll be posting again, by the way….I was consumed by a school monster for a couple of weeks.

Someone was looking out for you.. Jimmy should’ve been an obvious purchase
Just my .02.
Stephen, you’ve got this site rock’n glad to see you keeping up with it amigo!
De-Loused is a very solid piece of work and in my personal top 20 favourites (along with Aero Over the Sea) – http://www.triplux.com/fivestar100/.
It’s possibly not for everyone though – fragmented and highly experimental in places – but an exhilarating ride!
hey man,
you need to hear “Play” it’s a very good album but it doesn’t stand up against JEW
Nice choice on the Jimmy Eat World!
