I've gotta be honest...I fail to see the fascination with Coheed and Cambria. Never have seen it, and I don't think I ever will. Listening to them (him?) is a chore for me.

I know I'm going to open myself up to a lot of abuse here, but that's fine...anyone heard the new Blake Lewis CD? He's the beat-boxer from American Idol this past season. The guy is extraordinarily talented...the CD isn't as good as watching him live (just like any other beat-boxer), but it's still really enjoyable because it's not overdone. He actually has musical talent besides the beats...it's like a Justin Timberlake/Jason Mraz/Rahzel kind of a thing. Worth a listen if you like any of those three. Try "Know My Name (Feat Lupe Fiasco)" or "How Many Words" first.

On another American Idol note, I was at work the other day and Chris freaking Daughtry came up to me and asked for an iPod. Sure, he's not Springsteen, but we don't get many celebs at all coming through Syracuse, NY. He was a really nice guy and stopped to talk to people for a good 20 or 30 minutes. Pretty awesome.
