Crush'd

This weeks song is Crush'd by one of my favorite indie bands Say Anything. (song complete with lyrics can be found here)

Now Say Anything are, in my opinion, horribly underrated. Yes, they are more indie/techno than most groups get. Granted, most teens and young adults are lazy and don't look for new music and are content to simply float along in a haze of musical complacency. But seriously? People, lets get up off our lazy rear ends and LISTEN TO SOMETHING NEW! I can count on one hand how many people that I know LOVE Say Anything. And frankly, it's depressing. They are so full of talent they could really make a lot of noise in the music scene. The "artists" currently dominating the music scene like LMFAO rely only on Auto-Tune and synthesizers for any type of noise (I said noise, not music).

Getting back into talking about Crush'd... It's really a great song. It makes a few clever references to some of my favorite things (The Princess Bride, Oedipus Rex, Bjork) and is an all around joy to listen to. It is totally directed at a girl (lead singer Max Bemis' wife Sherri DuPree Bemis), in fact, Max even manages to sneak in a line about loving her (3 minutes 33 seconds) and not wanting her to kiss other people. The sweetest thing, yes?

That's my rant for the day, don't judge it to harshly... I'm not normally this angry!
