For every original metal band like Vaux there are thirty shit emo fuckers like Boys Like Girls. Unfortunately groups like them are the minority. Other groups, like The Grates and The Trucks aren’t as good, but I’m still happy I heard their music and I’m looking forward to hearing what they’ll do next.

Vaux (who broke up because no one fucking listened to them) and The Klaxons are both amazing bands that I might not have discovered unless I was assigned their CDs. I’ve been doing it for a few years now and I’ve discovered a few great bands that I would have otherwise never heard of otherwise. I get to listen to and write about new music, which is fun, and I get oodles of free CDs and shit (which is the real reason why anyone reviews CDs). I have a lot of little jobs which add up to almost having a real job (but not really).
