can you play me something new?

so, david cook told fans to go ahead and pirate the hell out of his pre-idol solo album. and if you haven't caught on by now, i'm kind of his bitch, so i figured i'd go ahead and do my part.

i'm admittedly biased, but i honestly love it. if you're at all interested in him, i highly suggest giving it a download. it's really catchy, very honest rock music.

so this interview with david is amazing for a lot of reasons. they call him "he of the soaring voice, mercurial hair and indie attitude." he mentions that he's been listening to imogen heap. he says things like "To me, there's a very abrupt disconnect if I go on stage in bicycle shorts and a tank top to sing "One" by U2" and "But hey, I was on a TV show with Barack Obama! At the end of the day, that's all I have to say."

and most importantly, it has this:

Q: You're called "word nerd" because you like word puzzles. Do you read much?

A: As much as I can. I read a lot of poetry. ("Fight Club" author) Chuck Palahniuk — I'm really into his work. Autobiographies. "The Road to Dallas," about the JFK assassination, I'm thumbing through that.

david cook, you did not even just namedrop my favorite author. SHUT UP! gah. this pleases me, tho, not only because omghelikeschuckpalahniuk! but also because there's a book i want to give him and i'm now firmly convinced that he'll enjoy it as much as i was thinking he might. :D

music is my boyfriend.

lyric meme because, uh, i can. i actually posted this like 25 minutes ago but i think something went weird, because i had not ONE comment and usually y'all are on this particular meme in one second. so i'm reposting - sorry if it actually was showing up and i'm just spamming. XD
