My Week in Music: 4/16/07 - 4/22/07
Well I have been very busy this week with finishing up my final week of school and I just finished up my biggest paper of the semester and am very relieved but I also noticed that on Sunday I forgot to do "My Week in Music." Well for that week I finally received my IPod and spent a lot of time reconfiguring my MP3 library so it would correctly be ordered on my IPod but still there are some labeling issues that I guess I will correct along the way. I also wanted to mention that while many of you have probably forgotten I am doing the countdown of the greatest prog rock bands still and you can expect the number five band to be posted tomorrow.
Most Listened to Album: Rage Against the Machine "Evil Empire
Most Listened to Song: Yes "Time and a Word"

Congrats on getting your paper done! Huge relief for sure.
I'll tune in tomorrow for the next band.
Jeff - I'm sure you did great with your paper. I used to play RATM to death! I turned my buddy on to them, we'd get so drunk playing cards and listening to their CD's.
"Now I'm rolling down Rodeo with a shutgun!"
Peace,
- Neo
Layla - You bet, it was really bringing me down but I liked how it turned out. Sorry for not posting the next band on time, but I will most definitely have it tonight because I know I have no plans besides watching the New York Rangers.
Neo - Thanks, I remember you had the lyrics to "Ashes in the Fall" on JBI I little while back.
Musically, "Evil Empire" and "Battle of Los Angeles" are pretty stellar, but I've had a hard time taking RATM seriously. Something about them comnes off as more commercial than they'd like to be viewed. I'm largely sympathetic to their politics, I just don't believe that they believe it.
Bob - I understand where you're coming from. I honestly believe Tom Morello, I feel he is definitely true to the music and lyrics. Zach De La Rocha I'm not exactly positive on but the rest of the band I definitely don't think really care too much regarding the politics. The thing which is sketchy to me is that they will go and sell shirts for $20 which say things like "Down With Capitalism;" what an oxymoron.
