This also gives me the opportunity, as well as others, to get an idea of what we're all listening to. I can see some stuff I need to listen to based on what's been posted. I love hearing about new music. Gives my life some purpose. Y'know, other than being totally awesome ALL the time. :D

I love modest mouse but I haven't had the chance to listen to their new one yet. I've heard too many mix reviews from friends so I've put it on the back burner
