I would highly suggest that you check out Matt Pond PA.
No matter the mood or day I'm having I can always get lost in his lyrics and melodies. Many of the songs he has written over the years still have an impact on me as if I'm hearing them for the first time and they move my heart just as much with every listen.

Goodbye iPod Hello ZuneHD
So when it got cold this winter and my iPod would literally freeze after 5 minutes in my car while I scrapped ice off the windows and stopped playing I got fed up with it and got a ZuneHD 32GB player.
Honestly I do miss the easy integration into my car’s stereo but I bought the old Zune Car Pack from Amazon for $10 buck (with shipping) and it works. As perfect as the iPod integration when it functioned? No, but good enough to listen to on my long drives to and from work.
The bonus is that I can use the Zune at work easier as it’s battery life is better. My old iPod would never last more than 1.5 hours with out charging it. The Zune has lasted me 4 days of 8+ hours of work per day on one charge so far. Additionally the Zune is also a FM HD radio tuner (no AM sadly) which unless you had the iPod touch and open Wi-Fi at work to stream music you can’t do.
I’m not saying anyone should ditch there iPods for the ZuneHD but if you are in the market for a new MP3 player, it may be worth it to check it out.
P.S. You should at least get the Zune software and create a Zune account if you really like to listen to music. The Smart DJ feature is worth the $14.95/month fee on it's own. You get 10 free MP3 down loads per month and based on your preferences by their like/dislike tracking of each song it you can listen to music you don't even own that match what you do own. Go here for a brief overview of Smart DJ and how it basically works.

Hey Mercedes - Unorchestraed Lyrics
The Song "Unorchestrated" By the band "Hey Mercedes" is one of my new all time favorites to listen to. Here are the lyrics:
6 AM and at it again
it's over
a lonely outside is rolling by
it's over
a car in the snow loses control
it's over
the head of the home is hurling the phone
it's over
bruise up blue
come right through
welcome to another end
we know that you know the finishing blow
it's over
a lineup of lights is firing the ike
it's over
the point in time when everything dies
it's over
nothing is wrong
we're getting along
it's over
so bruise up blue
come right through
welcome to another end
an open door
a note on the floor
it's over
the loneliest night is taking flight
it's over
waving in grief
watching it leave
it's over
up off the ground
the city is out
it's over
nothing is wrong
we're getting along
it's over
6 AM and at it again
it's over
a lonely outside is rolling by
it's over
a car in the snow loses control
it's over
the head of the home is hurling the phone
it's over
bruise up blue
come right through
welcome to another end
we know that you know the finishing blow
it's over
a lineup of lights is firing the ike
it's over
the point in time when everything dies
it's over
nothing is wrong
we're getting along
it's over
so bruise up blue
come right through
welcome to another end
an open door
a note on the floor
it's over
the loneliest night is taking flight
it's over
waving in grief
watching it leave
it's over
up off the ground
the city is out
it's over
nothing is wrong
we're getting along
it's over

"Cinima Air" by The Gloria Record
city swallows trees
and i am responsible
'cause i am indifferent to these things
i got blood on my windshield
and what must be hundreds of movies in my head
'cause i like the glow of the screen
excuses not to speak and darkness surrounding me
and the way the sun feels
when you step out in it after the credits
and float back to your car on cinema air
and please tell the whole world i am here
here to be their hero
with a perfect body and straight teeth
and strings swelling every time i blink
with a perfect body and straight teeth
and strings swelling every time i blink
on the big screen with my big dreams
'cause you know i am the drama king
[This is an awesome song... i love it... a lot]

Lungfish
One of my all time favorite bands that are still around... A few of their tracks popped up right in a row while my iTunes was running random selection.
Here is a description stolen from Wikipedia:
Lungfish (band)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search
Lungfish
Origin Baltimore, Maryland
Country United States
Years active 1988 – Present
Labels Dischord, Simple Machines
Members Daniel Higgs, Asa Osborne, Mitchell Feldstein, Sean Meadows
Now operating in its 17th year, Lungfish is a punk band based in Baltimore, Maryland. All of their music has been released by the Washington, D.C. punk label Dischord except for their first LP, Necklace of Heads which was released by Simple Machines (it was later added to the CD release of Talking Songs for Walking by Dischord). While seemingly mundane on the surface, Lungfish remains one of the most intense, strange, and dedicated bands in the music world, constantly repeating similar ideas over and over.
Their line-up as of 2005 consists of Daniel Higgs (vocals), Asa Osborne (guitar), Sean Meadows (bass), and Mitchell Feldstein (drums). Previous bass players are John Chriest and Nathan Bell.
Their albums feature compelling guitar-based repetitions with Daniel Higgs' prophetic and cryptic lyrics. Among their most prominent early works are the albums Talking Songs for Walking and Rainbows from Atoms, which feature the band's original bassist. More recent works include The Unanimous Hour, Love is Love and Feral Hymns.

Music catch up
I love music...well I love the music I like. There is music out there I can't stand, but that is neither here nor there.
Ok...on to the point, I've known for some time now that I'm seriously lacking in keeping up to date with the music I like. So being that it's close to x-mas and I can't think of anything else I want for x-mas I decided to put some cds I wanted up on my wish list at amazon.com (yes, I use amazon for music, it's just easy for people to buy from).
Surprisingly almost all of the bands I could think of at the time were available there. What makes it a surprise is that I do not listen to big mainstream bands, a lot of the stuff I listen to is form Chicago, DC, or local based bands.
In my search I come across a cd by a band I wanted to check out a long time ago but always forgot to get their cd. The band's name was 'antarctica'. I must say I like them. They remind me of some 80's bands but they are still good.
They released an EP and Full length CDs, but sadly only the full length is available now (they came out in 1998/1999...told you I was behind!!).
