Okay, so the oter day I bought some mega-sweet white moonboots and today I saw High Fidelity for the first time. But that's besides my point. Let's move on to the Top 10 Albums of 2007.

Here they are:
1. In Defense of the Genre by Say Anything
This CD blew my mind. It is a beautiful piece of art and one of the best things I've heard in a long time.

2.Infinity on High by Fall Out Boy
I don't care if I get made fun of for liking this one. It's a damn great album and it really showed how much better Fall Out Boy has gotten.

3.Bone Palace Ballet by Chiodos
No one can blow my mind like Craig Owens.

4.¡Viva La Cobra! by Cobra Starship
This CD totally owns. I like Cobra better than Midtown.

5.Santi by The Academy Is...
I expected this CD to suck, but I was wrong.

6.Riot! by Paramore
Hayley has an amazing voice and the songs are pretty damn good.

7.The Kicks of Passion by Powerspace
This record is the best debut of all time. These guys are bringing the 80s back.

8.Direction by The Starting Line
I'm a sucker for anything that Kenny Vasoli does.

9.Do You Feel by The Rocket Summer
Bryce Avary is gonna be the next Prince. I just hope he doesn't go all weird and change his name to an unpronounceable symbol or something.

10.So Wrong, It's Right by All Time Low
This is just some awesome pop-punk.

Dear Music Scene,

First off, this is not to the bands. They have nothing to do with what I am going to be talking about (at least, most of them don't). This letter is to the greedy corporate fucks (some labelheads and music store owners) that are only in this buisiness for the money. Now that we have that covered, let's move on.

The music scene is pretty much in ruins right now. Everyone (except you corporate fucks) are doing horribly. Bands aren't selling discs, record prices are going up(more on that later) and it's getting harder to find the records I want in the store.  Why is this happening? It's because the corporate fucks are being greedy and want to leech everything off of the scene before throwing it away like last week's trash. 

Most of you label people are a bunch of fuck heads. All you want is to make more money. How do you do that? You sign a bunch of shitty, flavor of the week bands and you shove them down our throats. We do not want to hear another Fall Out Boy rip off or another My Chemical Romance copycat. Please sign some bands that are original and have some talent. Can you get off of your fat asses and dig a little to find some bands actually worth listening to? Is that asking too much?

See, I don't really mind hearing bands that sound like some of my favorites. The problem is that you (record labels and record stores) charge an insane amount of money for their CDs. I'm not made of money. While I support the dying art of the CD, I can't spend $20 on one when I have treats to buy for my dog and Christmas presents to get for my family. 

And don't you go and say that Internet downloading is killing the CD industry. While it might be damaging it, the CD market is still alive and well. Mainly to people like me who would rather have a collection of CDs sitting on their shelf than a bunch of compressed zeroes and ones stuck inside a computer.

So I bet,  Mr.Record Label Man, you're wondering how to fix things. Here's my suggestions to you:

-Sign some bands with talent! If you have original decent bands, people will buy more CDs! We are sick and tired of hearing the same crap regurgitated over and over again.

-Lower CD prices! Maybe if you'd lower CD prices and/or go back to mailordering (and no, I'm not talking about Internet ordering. I'm talking about real mailordering), you'd have a lot more people to buy your bands' records. I myself will buy a lot from a record company if they still do mailorders.

-Get a brain! Maybe the music scene wouldn't be in this state if you dumbheads had a brain to begin with.

I know that this is probably just a waste of  my time, but I feel that it's worth saying. My heart aches when I see how bad the music scene has become. But, unfortunately, I feel that we are already too late. But if the scene is going out, I'll help it go out in style.
