You almost had me there, Alice.

I'm going to stop apologizing for my lack of posts, because it's really my fault. And I also start to feel like Julie from that Julia Child movie. And I really don't want to sound like that because it sounds stupid, frankly.

So, I recieved an email from someone asking about the new Alice in Wonderland soundtrack, Almost Alice.

And I'm going to be completely honest.

The only song I've actually bought off the soundtrack was All Time Low's "Painting Flowers". Of course I bought it. I mean, it's All Time Low. Duh.

Except I'm going to explain myself.

The reason I bought only the All Time Low song is because, despite being a huge fan, I really looked at the list and (since I had already listened to a few of the songs on line), decided that I really didn't want the others.

And now that I explained that I feel like it was a stupid thing to feel like I have to explain.

And no, "Painting Flowers" is not my favorite All Time Low song at all. Not even in the least. I just feel the urge to have everyone, or close to everyone, of their songs. Is that so terrible?

However, I do think that they did a job well done. Whether they wrote it or not (since SOMETIMES, and I'm saying sometimes because when artist are put on soundtracks for a particular movie, like Alice in Wonderland where there is a distinct theme in the songs for the album, the writing process isn't entirely theirs), they did a good job with it. I can still tell it's All Time Low, but it does not sounds like the rest of their songs. If anything, it has sort of a darker undertone to the song. It's still a good song of their's though.

And I'm also going to admit for an excuse, that since iTunes jacked it prices up (ahem...), I'm really careful about what songs I'm buying. I mean, $1.29 will add up a little quicker than $0.99.

However, maybe with some convincing, I will look more into the album. I know I listened to the song "Alice" by Avril Lavigne and it really takes a lot from me to listen to her screaming. And in that song, it's not like her other stuff where it's like, in tune screaming. This is like pitching screaming. It's hard on my ears. Sorry.

Okay, now I really have to apologize because this is turning out to be a really terrible entry.

On Owl City, I really do like the song that is on the soundtrack. I do have it because it is a part of Owl City's I Must Be Dreaming album which is really, really good. I like it a lot better than his new stuff. I might do an entry on I Must Be Dreaming at a different date, but we'll see.

The Metro Station song "Where's My Angel" really just makes me want to shoot myself in the head. You guys know how I feel about all Metro Station, and there has yet to be a song that has proved me wrong about them. I am still giving them a chance, but they're really doing a poor job. Especially now that Anthony and Blake are no longer apart of the band? Am I correct on that? If someone could follow that up, that'd be great.

I actually did just buy the song "The Poison" by AAR. It's still AAR, as the All Time Low song is still All Time Low, except it's better, in a way. Or it's still different. I think that's what I'm trying to say. It's good. I like it. It kind of has that "Sun Kid" feel to it, if you know what I mean. If you don't, it's okay. All American Rejects have always done a good job at relaxing me. I don't know why I find this song relaxing. Probably the beginning. But AAR does that sort of soft and then hard and fast transition. As I said, I'm not a musician so my musical vocabulary sucks.

The Plain White T's song "Welcome to Mystery" reminds me of the Beatles by a lot. It has that vibe that a lot of songs from their Magical Mystery Tour album have, I think.

I might come back to this soundtrack. We'll see. It's kind of takes 30 seconds of a song to convince me anyways. So, again, we'll see.

I have my tickets for the AP Tour 2010. Do you? You better. :] Abby and I are going. the DC date is April 25th I think. It's the day after MD State regatta, so I better have something to party about. Anyways, I'll definitely have pictures (probably shitty ones) and a blog for that.

I can't wait to see Alice in Wonderland.

I think that's my conclusion.

Looking at the Soundtrack cover gets me excited. It's so, for lack of a much better word, awesome.
