Clever Titles Are So Last Summer is doing a theme week...

And you should check it out. What it is:

"The idea was born after talking with Garrison a few weeks back about how it would be cool if bloggers would make posts on their friends' blogs about bands that they absolutely loved. I thought that it was a wonderful idea and began to set up this particular theme. It's cool for me to share my favorites because it's what I do when it comes to the music content for the blog. I share my favorites with all of you!

So that is what the twelve lovely guest bloggers are doing. They're sharing their favorites. Some will be unexpected, some will showcase how a particular band influenced their life and others will show a band that are just plain awesome. At least with me, the only MP3-based post you'll get is my band of the week (which will be posted on Tuesday, along with Garrison's contribution) and maybe a few news posts."
So head over to Clever Titles Are So Last Summer and check out the theme week. In fact, today, I'm one of the guest writers. A preview:
"I talk about bands I love all the time on my site. In fact, if you read EAR FARM at all you'll probably catch at least one mention each week of the fact that my favorite band ever is The Smiths. Stop me if you think you've heard THIS one before but just about every song they ever made is a song that saved my life. Well, there's just no way I could briefly talk about that band here so I've decided to go for something a bit different. Something I'd not normally consider talking about on my site - two of my favorite songs from the 80's (and the song that paved the way for songs like these to be made) that I love without really knowing much else by the artists who made them. This is odd for me, but the songs are just so perfect I'm not sure anything else they've done would really measure up."

speaking of favorite bands, have you ever heard of mewithoutyou? they're a pretty tasty band (from illinois i think) that might be described as hard indie rock or some kind of melodic hardcore (but that last one might be a stretch).

i'm not very big on trying to fit a band into a genre box, though. so usually i just recommend a band and let people pass judgment themselves on the sound.

anyway, i'm pretty sure they've got some songs at purevolume.com that you can listen to and decide.
