Inspired by this journal, I'm posting this journal. Follow with me now as I swipe the pedestals out from underneath my top 20 artists!

1. The Fall of Troy
They refuse to hurry up and revisit the Ghostship demo's, and Thom got annoyed about those online who complain. But… dammit… want… oh and also COME AND PLAY IN NEW ZEALAND.

2. Say Anything
I can't listen to older Say Anything without thinking of my ex, since they were one of very few musical artists we mutually liked. The bitch.

3. Alexisonfire
As much as I like his guitar-playing and his…

I was thinking about this while driving home from the supermarket today. As you do. One of the songs on this list was playing, and as I mentally shuffled it into a rough top list of favourite songs, the idea for this journal was born.

Well I think so.
It's an exquisite time waster.

1. The Fall of Troy

I CAN'T TURN THE BLOODY THING OFF.

There's little doubt that the song rules. It's upbeat and rockin' and super catchy, as Boys Night Out songs are wont to be. It's a thoroughly excellent housework song, the sort of track you throw your head around violently and shake your ass to while vacuuming (and I can personally confirm this).…
