Everybody Loves Raymond...

...Is the worst show on TV. That has no relavence to this post, I just thought I would state that. OK, since I seem to be running out of things that get me fired up in sports, I'm thinking I'm going to start incorporating a lot more music into this blog, so be prepared to be dazzled by groups that not a lot of people know about. If you like it, great. If you don't like it, tough shit.

I figured whenever I find out about a band, I can write a little bit about them, give you a little taste of what they sound like and hope that you listen to them while you're driving to work in the morning. OK, here we go...

Artists you currently need to listen to:

1) Pilot Speed - First thing you need to know is that they are Canadian. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I know exactly what you're saying; I hate the guys up north just as much as the next person. Shoving their high percentage beer in our face like it's the coolest thing since sliced bread...or inventing the game of hockey...or speaking their stupid frenchie language, we get it Canada, you're awesome. (Appologies to Canadiens reading this blog. Just Kidding.) The one thing I really enjoy about the land of the Canuck is Pilot Speed.

I randomly ran into this band on itunes and was immediately VERY impressed with their sound. They remind me a ton of U2, with a little bit of a deeper sound...whatever that means. Just give them a listen and let me know what you think.



2) Gomez - This band has supposedly had a few tracks on shows on TV land, but I haven't heard of them until their song showed up on my friend Nat's myspace page. They hail from the UK, and their cd "How We Operate" is very pleasing.
