Rock! I love all kinds of Rock. The Beatles are my favorite band of all time. I listen to everything from VelvetRevolver to Saves the Day (their old stuff, stay who you are ect.), I also like punk, pop-punk, metal- all types, Alternatice, REAL christian Rock such as: switchfoot, Casting Crowns, The Afters, The Rocket Summer, and Relient K., Creed... anyways, the list goes on. and on. forever!

San Antonio Express News. haha., I get alot of news from school, seldom watch CNN, Yahoo! News usually has very interesting stuff in it, and I enjoy that, Fox election coverage, but a lot of things they "cover" are stupid such as percentages that equal 118% just kinda makes them loose credibility. And, the Radio has good news, Shawn Hanitty is real, but a lil overrated. I really like him. haha. and that's really about it other than popular media.

I listen to film soundtracks, symphonic/classical, and much of the music that would be classified as 'weird' in the average highschool environment. To avoid that look of pure shock I often recieve from my peers in response to my music preference, I've adopted a pre-planned method of response for this question - 'I like alternative bands, such as Taking Back Sunday, Franz Ferdinand, Snow Patrol, My Chemical Romance, and The Cure.'

alternative, some classics
