No more Finals

Let us all rejoice, for holiday season is upon us and the beast that is school will be kept at bay for another four weeks. Four Weeks! This whole college thing seems, so far, to be a lot better than high school. 16 hours of school versus 35 hours of school. Longer breaks, less busy work, more free time. What more could you want? And then when you do get to come home on break, you don't have to worry about long term break projects that some teachers may have given in high school. Hell, if you're still in High School, I recommend, with out any hesitation, that you forget about the whole thing and just go to college.

So I have a fairly exclusive song this time (it's been a while since I've posted anything, but finals bogged me down). This song is off of the new Wicker Park movie, which looks to be a sappy love story a la current pop TV shows such as the O.C. That shouldn't take away from the soundtrack, though, which is filled with a few indie standouts. Most notably is a new song by the Postal Service, covering Phil Collins' Against All Odds. The song is typical Postal Service fare, which isn't to say it's bad at all. I find the Postal Service begins to grow after repeated listens, and this song has too. While not as great as many of the songs off Give Up, it still contains a beat that asks for a few repeated listens. The songs weakness lies in the fact that the lyrics were composed by Collins. A great songwriter in his own right (all though, Peter Gabriel has him beat times 10), the lyrics aren't the usual introspective, metaphorically filled poems that we usually expect from the Postal Service.

I'll let you decide, though.

Here'sThe Postal Service - Against All Odds.
