haha Brandon, I love the music we play during production! Right when I first walked up to the stage and heard Something Corporate for the first time, my friend Chris said: Doug these guys are going to be huge one day. It's true. The best songs I think are I woke up in a car, Punk Rock Princess, If you c jordan, drunk girl, want to save you, but right now my favorite one is Fall. ...I'm really liking the Drive Thru Records label. Some might think these bands are all sell outs and play poppish punk, but I think they have talent, are nice people, and just rock out. Other bands on that label that are becoming popular are Finch, The Starting Line, The Movie Life, and of course one of my fave bands of all time...New Found Glory.

Here is my pick in all it's true and uncensored glory: Andrew "Shaggy 3:16" Kinback: Various Artists - "Pledge of Allegiance: Live on Tour" "Features Slipknot, System of a Down, Mudvayne, American Head Charge, and No One.
