Well, this should be interesting... Antony and the Johnsons - one of the oddest voices I've ever heard, but there's so much emotion. Blind Willie Johnson - a blues legend. Take a stab at "Dark Was the Night, Cold Was the Ground"; you won't be sorry. Cat Stevens - so many people in today's generation don't know who this man is. One listen and I've been hooked. The Decemberists - my favorite band of all-time. Oh-so-literary. Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros - so hard to describe, but one listen to "Home" and I was on the bandwagon. Flobots - music with a message. The Go! Team - just pure fun. Hot Chip - one of the better electropop acts out there. Ivan Ives - I enjoy few rap acts. This is one of them. John Frusciante - guitarist for RHCP. Check out his solo stuff. The Knife - one of the best dance outfits I've heard. Ludo - these guys are hilarious. Look up their Ghostbusters cover on Youtube. Muse - how they're still not big in the US is beyond me. New Order - "Blue Monday." Owl City - real up-and-comer. Very Postal Service-y. Puscifer - Tool frontman side project. Quietdrive - decent power-punk. Russian Circles - a very good instrumental rock band. Shriekback - 80s rock, "Nemesis" is a great tune and video. Terry Linen - good up-and-coming reggae artist. UB40 - "Red Red Wine," anyone? The View - indie rock from Scotland. Wilco - one of the better live acts out there now. XTC - decent new wave band. Yeasayer - basically their entire All Hour Cymbals album. The Zutons - "Pressure Point"--one of the better 'commercial songs' I've heard past few years.

"Father and Son" - Cat Stevens

In speaking of most rides on a single day, a friend of mine and I sat on Adventure Express at KI for about two-three hours straight and got about 40-50 rides in... yeah, I know, not that extreme, but we made it worthwhile I guess, haha. Most uncrowded day at KI I can remember...

"Down Under" - Colin Hay

Unless I'm mistaken, I believe it was Vortex at Kings Island when I was about eight or nine.

"Same Jeans" - The View

"Blackout" - Muse

"Ten Women" - Conor Oberst and the Mystic Valley Band

Psyclone - SFMM Flashback- SFMM King Cobra- KI Scooby's Ghoster Coaster- KI High Roller- Stratosphere Tower

Did I say HAAAAAM?

"Jackie Will Save Me" - Shiny Toy Guns

The only trip I have lined up is my first trip to Holiday World in (probably) July... will know the details by this weekend, which I'm excited for. Will probably make an obligatory trip to Kings Island sometime in the summer for Diamondback, and Cedar Point is a possibility as well.

"God Bless the Ottoman Empire" - A Hawk and a Hacksaw

Went and saw Wilco Friday night. Blew me away!

"Sweet Delilah" - Hurt

Looks incredible, can't wait to head out there sometime this summer. Friend of mine went yesterday and said he was in a four-hour line for it... I still need to get his opinion on it, but from the looks of it, I'm sure it was worth it.

They have flowriding on the more recent Royal Caribbean ships... tried one out on the Liberty of the Seas a few times last year. I don't do any tricks, though-- to me, staying on the board for more than about fifteen seconds is a trick in itself for me.

"Hallelujah" - Leonard Cohen

"The Good Life" - Weezer
