Request

So, in the span of five weekends beginning with Christmas, I drove to the following places:

Grand Forks (20 hour round trip)
Minneapolis (14 hour round trip)
Colorado Springs (15 hour round trip)
Ames (7 hour round trip)

That, friends, is a lot of driving, even for someone like me who usually loves life on the road. In addition, shortly after I came back, my laptop contracted a serious virus, and my downloading abilities were temporarily crushed.

Not THAT virus. Still pretty serious, though.


As a result of all the driving, and lack of downloading, I am pretty burned out on everything in my iPod, and I could use an infusion of new songs. My mission for all of you is to give me some desperately needed recommendations. It can be a single band, a single song, or a bunch of random songs from different bands if you're feeling squirrelly (that would be most appreciated.) Whatever you are personally loving at the moment.

And this request goes out to everybody. I don't care if you're Schneweis, who already provides me with multiple CDs a year; if you're DVJS, who for the most part shares the complete opposite taste in music as me; if you're one of the randos who read this everyday but never comment- I never ask much from you guys; or if you're the person from Charlotte who is only reading this because you googled "why won't Tyler Hansbrough be my facebook friend." (Somebody actually googled that and was led here, by the way. I didn't know whether to laugh or cry.) Hell, I would take song recommendations from Evelyn right now.
If you want to be anonymous, be anonymous, just leave your song suggestion and go on your merry way. I want recommendations from everybody. My computer has been cleaned up, and I'm ready to go on a downloading spree, the likes of which haven't been seen since the Great Porno Rush of '99.

OK, I asked nicely, now a word from Uncle Sam:

I want YOU to give me some music suggestions! And no fucking pussy-ass Backstreet Boys bullshit, bro! Something I can jam out to off-roading in my Wrangler, hittin' a fatass joint and crushing PBR Tall Boys! Uncle Sam likes to ROCK!
