My five current favourites in no particular order:
1. Is It Nothing To You? — All State Champion
"This whole album is incredible. My favourite song changes daily."
2. Float On — Modest Mouse
"The feel-good hit of the summer."
3. Merchandise — Fugazi
"My brother gave this CD to me when I was young. He said I listened to crap. It hasn’t come out of my CD player since."
4. All Of This — Blink-182 with Robert Smith
"I love The Cure and I love Blink-182. I don’t care what you say, this song rules!"
5. Too Young to Fall in Love — Mötley Crüe
"I’m reading (Crüe autobiography) The Dirt right now and it’s inspiring a whole new love for the songs of one of my favourite bands.
Last words?
"I don’t know how many friends I’m gonna make with that Blink-182 song, but I can’t get it out of my stereo. And keep the music coming – buy CDs!"
