I drive a used car. Used, abused, she's a tired old thing. The stereo, for instance, is very touchy... or it used to be. These days it doesn't even play a practically brand new CD. This can get very frustrating and lead to resign oneself to the radio, and a constant stream of Nirvana. (Hey people, I enjoy Nirvana as much as the next 90s kid, but seriously the radio stations around here could easily ruin it for me.)
Well, I think another sad result of this has been my disinterest in music in general. We got the newish Killers CD which I love, but I can't play it. I tried my luck with a burnt copy of the Kings of Leon, which is the only band I have gotten really excited about getting into lately, and it worked for about a day, then no such luck. Then I grabbed a CD of a band Eric and I were able to see in concert last year, Grand Ole Party, and miracle of miracles, it works... mostly. Still, I realized how much I have missed really digging on a good CD. This group is one that I highly recommend, especially if you like groups like the Yeah Yeah Yeahs. Really strong lead female voice, who also is the drummer for the band. I would go as far to say they are pretty kick ass. I am only surprised they have not gotten more well known by now. So, check them out, you won't be disappointed.
Oh, and as far as the stereo... got it covered. Eric and I have realized the severity of the situation and are getting a new CD player installed promptly. There are just certain things you can only put up with for so long.

Portland radio largely sucks. They've even ruined underground indie. We finally turned over to Pandora at work, which is helping.
We get to listen to the wonderful world of MUSAC. It is the ghetto version of any other satellite radio.
