Boycottage - Green Day
who: Green Day
why: because I would have rather watched Jennifer Lopez fail at reading. The only reason I'm posting this is because it was actually entertaining to watch UNTIL Green Day got on the stage. Rock album of the year? Shut the fuck up.
Oh and in case you didn't already hate this song... it's a complete ripoff. They titled their album 'American Idiot' after the dumbasses they got to waste their money on it.
WE'LL DO IT LIVE! - Kevin Devine
who: Kevin Devine
why: because I loved when I first heard this song... and then I got excited to read a post saying he performed it live... but then I actually watched it... is this just a little bit too mellow for anyone but me?

Watch Out - Hellogoodbye
who: Hellogoodbye
why: posted a cool little compilation video from their antics during the Use Your Sole Tour. New album this year????

tf presents: We All Scream for Ice Cream! Vol. I
This is the third "mixtape" I've released if you missed out on my Autumn and Winter compilations... and you should note that those previous mixes were made under the assumption that you guys are a bunch of softies. But I promise you that you're missing on what you don't understand if you've typically strayed away from these hardcore/screamo/metalcore genres. I absolutely love the combination of aggressiveness and complication of these styles and that's what this new series 'We All Scream for Ice Cream!' is going to be about - the variation, talent level, and progression of my favorite (but not so "pop"ular) genres.
If you don't think you'll like this... download it anyways and give it a chance. If there's not one track on this mix that blows you away, then I give up.
