Get into the lyrics. I mean way into them. "SOMETHING INSIDE OF ME IS.....PISSED!".
Change "pissed" to "AWESOME" and GET INTO IT. ---- is going off over at

| I
Hate Myself and Want to Die |
Hyperion reports: Does the opening "pling
pling plinggg" of Bette Midler's �The Rose' fill you with existential dread?
Do you cringe at the mere whiff of what Phil Collins is spewing �In the
Air Tonight?' Have you ever bolted from a restaurant because Celine Dion's
cover of �All By Myself' was threatening to drive you over the edge? Well,
turn around, bright eyes � because Tom Reynolds is here with I HATE MYSELF
AND WANT TO DIE, a laugh-out-loud-til-you're sobbing compendium of the
world's most hideously depressing pop songs � and a guide to what makes
them so heartwrenchingly, earsplittingly sad and bad. With chapters like
�I Was a Teenage Car Crash,' �I'm Trying to be Profound and Touching but
Really Suck At It,' �Perfect Storms,' and �I Mope, Therefore I Am,' Reynolds
details the history of melodic misery, from the days of Bobby Darin to
the era of Evanescence. Complete with a ranked �Countdown of Doom' and
wonderfully dreary drawings, I HATE MYSELF AND WANT TO DIE is the one book
that fans and foes of woeful tunes won't want to live without. [see full

| Staff
Meeting: Dan Upton |
antiMusic reports: A lot of people work hard
to make antiMusic what it is. So with our 8th anniversary we felt it was
time to spotlight each writer so you can get to know them a little better.
Over the next few weeks we will be posting a small portion of each staff
person's new profile page. So let's begin and get to know Dan Upton a little
better.
Dan is from Charlottesville, Virginia and
has been with antiMusic for almost a year. The first CD he purchased was
Dave Matthews Band's 'Under the Table and Dreaming' and his first concert
was Dave Matthews Band with Bruce Hornsby and Robert Bradley's Blackwater
Surprise . He lists Dave Matthews Band, Bela Fleck & The Flecktones,
Dream Theater, Soilwork, Days of the New, Celldweller, Scott Henderson,
Wes Montgomery, Ra and Sevendust as his Top 10 Favorite artist. His musical
pet peeves are "Generic beats (if you're not going play instruments, at
least be creative with the technology), lyrics that don't mean anything,
and the people who love/"get" them (see: emo)". His favorite part of antiMusic
is "Keavin's editorial comments on news." Click the full story to learn
more about Dan and discover which star's name that elicits this response:
"please, can somebody knock out his lights?", why Dashboard Confessional
has contributed to the downfall of modern music and a lot more!
