Love Me, Love My Stuff, Part 1

In the spirit of Valentine's Day, let's play a game. I made a few lists of my favorite things, and I've asked some of my favorite people to tell me what they think about those favorite things.

This week--boySam* on bands.

*boySam claims to be both a pirate and a hot martial arts stud. He is not. He likes stamps, and he has a killer beard. No, really--it's dangerous. Like Tino from "My So-Called Life," he never shows up to hang out. He is also known to make me swoon on Wednesdays and sometimes on Fridays.

1. Rasputina: "Rapunzel. Long hair. Blonde." Also, 'Tina, you fat lard.'--Napoleon Dynamite.

2. Weezer: "Blue and Pinkerton were good. He needs to have sex so he (Rivers Cuomo) can make good music again."

3. Siouxsie & the Banshees: "It's good. Cooler name. Reminds me of Native Americans."

4. Alicia Keys: "I think she has nice hair, but I might be thinking of someone else."

5. Garbage: "Smells after a while. Pirates throw it around their new ships to feel more at home."

6. Aretha Franklin: "That one song is overrated and overplayed." [Drew hand giving the finger.]

7. The Cardigans: "A typical indie snob would say Siouxsie is the best band on here. But I'm going with this one because I'm better."
