Hump Day Picks With Valerie - The Rock Snob

Ok, so there is no excuse for the lack of HUMPING on this site lately. I have been overworked, traveling, moving out of apartments, crashing motor vehicles, and dealing with the stress of life. If you have a problem with it......'eff you. It's been about a month since the last time I humped with a fellow blogger and now - By George! Today is the day. I know you've all be waiting for some hot Rock on Rock action. Which is why I have today I invited Valerie from the awesome blog The Rock Snob to hump with me. Her site is a total one stop shop for music newsbits and the juiciest gossip. The Snob also highlights some of the best bands in the Canadian music scene....It's like we were separated at birth! ENJOY! THE ROCK SNOB'S HUMP DAY PICKS 1. The Kooks album 'Inside In/Inside Out'. Good old fashioned Britpop. Download "You Don't Love Me" for starters. 2 Gnarls Barkley - "Crazy." Simply because it's the best single released thus far in 2006 in my not-so-humble opinion. 3. All Things British. Obviously I love the music but also the tabloids (The Sun), the soap operas (Coronation Street) and, of course, the dirty pretty men (Pete Doherty)... Sigh. 4. Popbitch and Holy Moly. Essential weekly mailouts for gossip-whores like myself. 5. Tokyo Express, a local Japanese restaurant offering all-you-can-eat sushi. Who knew $20 could bring such happiness? THE ROCK INSIDER'S HUMP DAY PICKS 1.) Cold War Kids - "Saint John" [MP3] Why do I love this band so much? Why do I listen to them all day long...Why are people starting to know me as that "Girl Who Always Posts Cold War Kids." Well if you'd just fucking listen to the tracks you would understand. No more questions! [website] 2.) The Gym - I have been soooo super sick lately. I started going to the gym to work out whatever flu bug has been invading my system for the past week and was cured. Plus swimsuit weather is just around the corner and I wanna look sexy. 3.) Knitting - I have become OBSESSED with knitting. You want a scarf? I'll knit you a scarf!!! I can also make hats, handbags, ipod cases, headbands, the whole nine yards!!!! 4.) Chango - It has become a weekend ritual for me and my roommate to spend at least one full day out on gallery row in Echo Park sipping Chango coffee and vintage shopping. I have mad cravings for it. MAD CRAVINGS. 5.) Neko Case - "At Last" [MP3] Such an amazing voice. I can't get enough of Fox Confessor Brings The Flood. Simply cannot....[website] JAX - The Rock Insider
