Nickelback might be the worst band of all time. They honestly give me a stomachache.
(Sorry, tommyxvx.)
Mod Flanders Conspiracy: “My Seventh Grade Bus Driver Yells At Dead Trees”. Fuck, I loved this super obscure avant-garde metal band when I was a teenager. I suddenly remembered them last night because this band Sikth sounded kind of like them. This song rules.
The Bloodhound Gang: “I Hope You Die”. I really, really love this band and have since high school. This song is awesome.

Owen: “I Woke Up Today”. One of the most beautiful songs ever written. So easily to relate to as a kid in their mid-twenties.
Lyrics:
I woke up today and felt for my age for the first time in both my mind and body
And my thoughts are less of fitting in and more of being a better man
But my overbite is getting worse and my whole fucking face hurts
I woke up today with the whimper and not the pain of a school boy or a father
It seems those fifteen pounds I’ve lost since you left
Were the part of me that you loved most and knew best
And I woke up today feeling my age
And the song of everything I’ve ever done
Either I just got kicked in the teeth or time has changed me
Defeater: “The Red, White and Blues”. The only song about the military that will ever be good.
I’ve got the blues
And the blues got me
Tigers Jaw: “Neighbors”. This song is pretty fucking heart-breaking.
Lyrics:
Went for my stuff, feels like I never left
Homestead, girlfriend who’s broken, upset, feels dead
What happened to me?
Public perception is not convincing
And I wanna die
Who am I?
King’s road, I don’t know, strong style back home
Letting myself go
Broken friendships, away from home
And I’m fucking around
Burn myself to the ground
Good Clean Fun: “The Vegan Revolution Draft Dodger Anthem”. This is the song whose lyrics always echoed in my brain as I selfishly continued to put off going vegan and kept ordering cheese pizzas.
Lyrics:
I think fur is a crime, I protest all the time
You should see all my bumper stickers
That “Firestorm” song sure gets me singing along
My righteousness never flickers
I think PETA is swell and vivisectionists go to hell
I live to fight the man
And if there is ever a cause with no dietary laws
I’ll be the first to take a stand
The animals, I see their pain with ease
But don’t expect me to give up pizza with cheese
The animals, I see their pain with ease
But don’t expect me to eat a pizza without cheese
I know I could be the best vegan the world’s seen
It’s such a shame my doctor says I can’t because I need the protein
What’s right or what’s wrong is not a tough decision
But animal torture is a part of my new religion
Hey, you know that I am down with what it’s about
Did I happen to mention I need the strength to work out?
Because I am building up muscle, I’m a growing boy
Such a cruel twist of fate, I’m allergic to soy
Excuses, excuses are not for me
I’ve wised up, but these leather shoes were free
These shoes were free
Joyce Manor: “Beach Community”.
I realize it’s true
Everything reminds me of you
