muse

so i've essentially in this post-breakup haze decided to pull out alot of albums i'd hidden away in order to try and be more focused on what i was trying to accomplish in terms of school and stuff. of course now that we're split im sortof moving through this hedonistic phase with lots of booze hookahs and now music. performing my music on stages, and getting on stages for the comedy. comedy is definately a higher form of art than music. but music is more primal and definately just plain sexier. its pretty awesome. none the less yeah its a crazy fuckin setup. but yeah back to the music. i've got the newest Muse album playing and i read through their lastfm page.their most popular songs right now are from their newest album. i feel like thats a good sign that the band is literally besting themselves every time they make something. muse is on the way up and its a dizzying ride for sure. theyve gotten so much better than their early days with Origin of Symmetry and others of that era. It's actually nice to see. Glad they've managed to put it all together in the right way. They've also been winning "best performer" nods in Europe and stuff. All very neat.

I've also pulled out some other stuff. I grabbed a copy of Rum Sodomy and the Lash but it's "remastered" according to the label and it sounds NOTHING like the original. I was shocked and disappointed. But that's how it goes sometimes. None the less, after not getting what I thought I was, I remained faithfully to listen through and found quite a few songs that were pretty good. It's got the same heart to it which is nice. There's soul to the Pogues that is very unique and satisfying. You don't find it anywhere else really. it's uniquely Pogues. And perhaps that's what I look for in bands, uniquely good and great things. If that level of good is everywhere then it isn't really worth listening to ALOT.
