Then I realized (after my brain ... MORE
Wife and I have found both Phil Collins (...Hits) AND the Alkaline Trio (Remains) to be excellently motivating cleaning music today ...

i'm in one of those moods where i just want to listen to poor little emo punk kids sing about getting their hearts ripped out. acoustic? even better. it brings me some sort of solace knowing that my heart is still intact... call me selfish, i guess.... MORE
