Whisper War

I FINALLY got money for itunes! I bought The Cab's album, Whisper War, and Ludo's album, You're Awful, I Love You. I am quite happy with both of my purchases ^.^ Whisper War is totally unique and upbeat and, okay, I kind of think it's a little unfair that a just starting out band gets such good production (it's like they were MADE rich, and didn't earn it, but whatever). Anyways, it's my favorite album in a while, especially the songs It's One of THOSE Nights and That '70s Song because they are unique and make me bop along and get all happy :) I really like Ludo's album because they are super different and the lyrics definitely tell a story and are pretty random but at the same time they sound good. I knew Love Me Dead from a while ago, but since buying the CD I like Lake Pontchartrain and Go-Getter Greg because they are totally not what songs are normally about. Lake Pontchartrain is like a horror story and it starts out:
I'll tell it like it happened, it was Darius and Noland and me
Just a few po' boys trying to get up outta Missouri
Took 55 to Louisiana, stopped by the highway to eat
They both had crawfish, strictly chicken for me
Back out under thunderheads, the radio was Southern soul
They interrupted Clarence Carter with a strange-ass local show,
They were sayin',

Come down to Lake Pontchartrain
Rest your soul and feed your brain
That's where you will get to see
Everything the water can be.

It's so funny to try and sing along with haha. Go-Getter Greg is told first person about hitting on the new neighbor girl moving in, and the lyrics are so disjointed that you would never think they could be a song, but he sings them anyways:
Hi
You must be new I guess
At least you're new to me
Saw you unpacking your car
So I said to myself
Maybe I should help her out
Since we're neighbors now
And all the other people here are elderly
And probably a little standoffish
And I've got nothing to do (and whatnot)
By the way I live in 207
My name is Greg
Wherever are my manners
Let me get that heavy box

It's funny because if you try and sing that right now, you would fail epically.

So I'm over Jordan. Haha, I was a little dramatic to get over him that fast, huh? It's just that I'm trying to put all this effort into talking to him and whatever but he honestly doesn't really even talk to me. Oh well. I actually DON'T LIKE anybody right now. It's a rather novel feeling.
