ACM Awards
Posted by A R Baboon in Computer Science, Music on May 19, 2008
I noticed CNN is running an footage of this year’s ACM Awards. It looks like they managed to book some high profile country music singers for the ceremony.
Velvet Revolver

Sucks. No Stars For You!
I had so many hope for this one. But all of my hopes were pooped on. I seriously plan on returning the cd.
Soap Box:
Not only was the music so terrible that I had to stop it, but they are a bunch of sell outs. I attempted to listen to the piece of crap on my computer at work and a license agreement pops up. It asks me to agree to all this bull sh*t and it automatically installed some freakin’ spy ware on my machine. So obviously, I choose not to accept the license agreement. I was confused, because I bought the damn cd, so therefore I own it …right? Apparently not. Because I did not agree to license it made the cd skip. Then as if I wasn’t pissed off enough, when I stopped it it crashed my computer.
I’d like to reference the South Park episode 709.
My latest additions
White Stripes
Elephant *****
Very Cool pic.
Lots-o-fun to drive to. Guitar & drums both kick. You can definitely hear the quality of the singing & instrumentals has progressed from the White Blood Cells album.
Yeah Yeah Yeahs
Fever To Tell *****
Very cool pic.
Fun, loud, sexual with friggin\’ awesome drums. It\’s like 80′s music, except a bit more explicit 
which I like.
White Stripes
White Blood Cells ***
I’m torn.
I love “Fell In Love With A Girl” & “Death Letter,” but the CD is otherwise ok. I like the live versions recorded at Maida Vale in 2001 better. The songs on the CD rock on the live version.
Franz Ferdinand
Franz Ferdinand ****
Cool Pic.
I definitely have some fav’s on this album as well. Another 80′s flash back album with a retro 007 flare. My only prob is that it gets repetitive. We likes the 80′s flash backs.
The Darkness
Permission to Land ****
Cool Pic.
Awesome instrumentals. A great “pick-me-up” album. Generally fun, but be prepared for some funny looks if you’re blasting it with the car windows down. 80′s glam rock.
Jet
Get Born *****
Very cool pic.
Like the vocals, instrumentals …. just a cool album in general. A good variety of songs. Gotta love the Aussies.
