151.
artist:Eisley
album:combinations
Mandy burned me this disk when it leaked, and while she seemed pretty excited to hear new stuff from Eisley, i still wasn't sure how i felt about Sherri and therefore wasn't sure if i wanted to hear the new album. really, i think, what i was afraid of more than anything was an album of songs full of hate and disdain towards Jesse Lacey, and i knew i wasn't prepared for that. the CD hung out on the shelf. i may have picked it up once or twice but mostly i didn't bother with it.
I researched it and talked to Mandy about it, and once it was determined that i wouldn't be offended, i gave it a listen, but upon listening decided that i didn't like it much, and that was that. it did, however, end up in my itunes, and therefore in my ipod, where it was stuck for a billiondy years because my computer crashed right after that and i wasn't able to change the contents of my ipod for a few years after that.
this proved to be a great thing for this album, and it kept popping up and i eventually got tired of skipping it and started listening. and, much to my dismay, i started to really like the songs on this album. and as it turned out, the front runner for my favorite song on the album turned out to be the one i feared the most-the song that she wrote about Jesse Lacey that made the cut.
well, i guess i cant say for sure who it is about, but as far as I'm concerned its about him. so there.
today all i wanted to do was listen to eisley. it started because Nicole posted a Kanye video on facebook, and i countered that with the Sherri Bemis cover of that same song, heartless.

sorry. i got distracted and started watching animaniacs clips on YouTube and now I'm too tired to finish this, and don't know what i was trying to say, anyway. damn 90's cartoons :)
I never got that into Eisley, even not knowing the background, but I have to admit that girl has a pretty voice...
