It Really Always is Sunny in Philadelphia...

Two weeks ago, the sixth season of my all-time favorite show aired, It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia. I have been anticipating this new season ever since season five ended and I felt quite giddy curling up in my bed watching the new episodes these past two weeks.

The first episode titled, "Mac fights against Gay Marriage" was absolutely hilarious. The whole base of the episode is about marriage, and every character seems to get involved. Frank and Charlie decide that they should get a domestic partnership, so Charlie can get free health care. Also, Dennis meets back up with a highschool sweetheart, and suddenly, the two of them are signing marriage papers! This causes Mac to be kicked out of their apartment. Mac is also facing a lot of problems in his life, he runs into an old "fling" whom also used to be a man... now turned into a hot little blonde thing. He's also introduced into her new husband, a big scary black man, to say the least. This freaks him out, causing him to think that is a gay marriage. He starts whipping out bibles and reading verses to them.

I did not stop laughing throughout the entire episode. They really got me on this one, and the second episode was just as good. I suggest you turn on Fx tonight at ten to see the third episode. And if you've never seen the show before, it's fine, each episode is pretty much a brand new plot line, so you won't be confused by not knowing the show to much.

Oh and by the way, if you're one of those kids without a TV in your room, don't fret, you can watch the new season any time for free, right here.

Congratulations...For what?

A few days ago, I decided it was finally time to download the most recent MGMT album, Congratulations. The album came out in April 2010, and I've heard a few songs in passing, but I hadn't really sat down and listened to the whole album until the other day. And to be completely honest with you, I was pretty disappointed.

The album starts out alright, I didn't hate the first song, It's Working, but I wasn't impressed. The next song was really the one who made me sort of have a sour taste in my mouth. Song for Dan Treacy sounded like it should be the theme song for Scooby Doo.

As I listened more, I started to notice that all the songs have a similar sound. I was waiting and hoping for something to come up that sounded different, but it was the same guitar, same synth and same basic beat on almost every track. Bands like this bum me out, I just feel like they're repeating the same stuff over and over again to impress their fans. They know what the fans like but they're too scared to take risks. Why don't you live a little, mgmt?

This made me sad, for I absolutely love MGMT. A previous album, Oracular Spectacular, holds some of my very favorite songs. I sat on my bed concerned about if this album could really turn me off to a band i've always thoroughly enjoyed. Suddenly, the last song started to play

Woah. Wait a second, did you just hear what I heard? Was that actually fantastic? Yes, Yes it was. I had to repeat the song, to hear the lyrics once more and enjoy the beauty this song has painted for me. After hearing this again, it felt as if the band members had been building up and than bam, shove this in my face. It was perfectly positioned as the last song on the album, it was really the only song that blew me away. So MGMT, I still got your back, but please work a little harder next time? Thanks.
