Disapointments: Voxtrot

At work today, I had the sudden urge to listen to "Sway" by Voxtrot, one of their lesser known songs. Probably because it's a bittersweet ballad and Voxtrot is more known for their upbeat joints. I was in the middle of listening to a podcast, but I try to feed my musical impulses instantly now because: a) I find that listening to podcasts non-stop is quite boring and having brief music breaks keep me awake, and b) I miss music so much I need to find it again. Normally I would just let the idea of listening to music pass while I drown myself in more useless gaming news and information. However now I turn on some music and sometimes I don't go back to the podcast I was listening to which has caused me to get so behind in my podcast schedule that I have to consider cutting back on the amount of shows I subscribe to.

Anyway let me get back on point. First, I love Voxtrot. They make me leap joyfully with my nose in the air like how Snoopy dances when he's excited. Some compared them to the second coming of The Smiths except not so sorrowful, though Voxtrot can pull that emotional gear off as well. The first two EP's got Pierre hooked which in turn, got me hooked. I think his vice is/was "The Start of Something." I am a "Soft and Warm" kinda guy, but all ten of those first songs were hits in my book and I wanted to listen to nothing else for months. I can't wait for the album...where's the album?

Sometimes a band can do no wrong. I waited. They released another EP. More good shit. Give me the album. I want to hear sweet love songs and dance. I know it's going to be best album of the 00's. It has to be. They(Voxtrot) made me wait a whole year. 2006 was a terrible, slow burn.

(This post is disappointing HOHOHOHO)

Anyway, I'm tired. That's a whole lot of pointless setup. Voxtrot releases their debut LP in January of 2007. I liked three songs on the album. To me, that was so heartbreaking because obviously the best album of the 00's should have at least ten head exploding-ly good tracks. The songs were flat, boring, and even too pussy for me. I have no problem admitting that I enjoy some pussy rock, but just some lyrics made me squirm not because of the content, but just the cadence of the words coming out of the lead singer's mouth. I still listen to that album in hopes that I will someday be like, "Oh, this is fine. I don't know why I was so hard on it."

My whole aim in this post was to inspire you to write something. Tell me about how you were once disappointed. Like, really disappointed. Not like this stupid story of shallow disappointment. I'll think of something else that disappointed me and I'll make it more interesting.

You know what's disappointing? Vicodin.

I enjoy the chat rooms that we've been doing lately. It's good to talk to you guys. I have a fantasy where the lords of this blog do a podcast. It would be like the chat rooms. Except we would talk. With our voices. It would be funny. No one would listen. NO! Someone would listen. Then we can start advertising on our blog, and make Google monies. Win one of those blog awards. That's my fantasy.
