Birthday Music Blog
So, it’s my 21st Birthday today, and I have some money to burn at the iTunes store. I’ve already purchased the “Phobia” album by Breaking Benjamin, and this morning I finally managed to acquire “Calypso” by Spiderbait, which has been an on-and-off quest for the past five years. But I’m looking to find some new stuff I might enjoy, and so I submit to the collective expertise of the blogosphere.
I have a lot of trouble distinguishing between musical sub-genres, but as far as I can tell my tastes run somewhere between Hard Rock, Nu Metal, and alternative rock and metal. A representative sample of bands I really like are Breaking Benjamin, Trust Company, Hoobastank, and Lostprophets. I sampled some metalcore today (specifically, Atreyu) and found it too hard for my tastes; on the other side, “poppish” type songs like Hoobastank’s “The Reason” make me gag.
So, what do y’all got for me?
PS: If you’re wondering why I’m not doing more…celebratory activities today, it’s because I have an awful head cold that won’t die. Alcohol, sub-zero temperatures, and sickness don’t mix very well. But I did have a Grasshopper at midnight last night.

There is a start for you, a bit of a mix of various styles, but all one form of rock or another.
If you want more ideas, email me. I live for music, have over 25,000 songs on my iTunes list, and go to 2 or 3 concerts a month.
The next 60 days include:
Taste of Chaos on March 4 (The Used, 30 seconds to Mars, others)
Red Hot Chili Peppers on March 6
TOOL March 26
My Chemical Romance, Muse and Rise Against April 14
and April 16th to the Jagermeister concert (Stone Sour, Shadow Falls, Lacuna Coil, others)
Rock on!
p.s. – my son turns 21 next Monday. Congratulations!
Much obliged!
Feliz cumpleaños David! I can only give good wishes, not good advice, though if you want to know about good Japanese Anime I’m your gal!
