My brother-in-law Chris used to have posts like this, until he and TJ entered into a joint-venture to create their music blog The Sounds of Science. Recently, Nicole created a music blog as well and invited Jodi, Heidi, and I to participate in it. I will participate, but at the same time, I feel that their music type is a little different from mine in some aspects, though I certainly share much with them as well. So along with my participation on that site, I will portray some of the stuff that I enjoy that they may not so much. So here is my first "song of the week" (we'll see if one makes it on here every week) and my second as a special premiere Double Feature! Both are harder, scream-o mixed with pop-punk type of music, but give it a try...you might like it.
Hawthorne Heights - "Ohio is For Lovers"
I knew the lyrics to this song before I came home from my mission, but not before I left...My last companion (Braden Bangerter) filled me in on some of my current favorite bands before I even came home (Fall Out Boy and this band being the most prominent on my mind right now). Anyways, good song to listen to. Enjoy
Scary Kids Scaring Kids - "My Darkest Hour"
This is a band that I recently discovered thanks to a friend at work and they are amazing (one of my new favorites) and their album spends much of it's time playing on my iPod. I hope you enjoy! If anything the music video is higly entertaining, so if you don't like the music, turn it down and enjoy these crazy kids...

Got to say, it missed the mark for me. I listened to two bands who I'm sure would point to Blink-182 as musical inspiration (for me, that's not a good thing). It must be our age gap...
I liked the music of My Darkest hour but when the whiny, pre-pubescent, pop-punk vocals started, I was done. Sorry bro, Bad Religion worked though...
With all these music shares, it fascinates me how strongly personal each individual's connections are to music--- what one thinks is the greatest another abhors, and vice versa. Having said that, while it's not my favorite, I didn't hate it (other than the screaming). And funny that T mentioned the age gap because the stuff he and Chris have been posting makes them at least 10 years older than they actually are.
not a fan of screaming music, oh well.
that being said, when i opened up your blog aidan was sitting on my lap and he pointed to the screen and pointed and yelled ... "DA!!! COTT!!" and got pissed when i scrolled down and he couldn't see your cute faces. i'm so glad that my kids love their uncle and aunt! thanks for being soooo awesome.
