Music that brad likes

[bradsugars]

Man. Two entries in one day! I must be bored. Bored as a fucker! I read Dan Williams' journal and it gave me an idea - that is, to list good and bad bands (at least, as far as what I think). Here we go! I will try and keep it all recent, and indie! It struck me that my tastes are 'indie', despite the fact I dress conservatively, don't go to clubs, am hideously socially awkward, and prefer to drink tea/coffee and watch Arrested Development rather than go out with 'people'.
