Music

Sometimes, when the lead singer of one of your favorite bands starts stalking you on last.fm and Facebook, you are slightly flattered. Other times it’s extremely sketchy, especially by the time you learn that someone you thought was wicked cool starts sending you messages like “OMG YOU ARE HAWT” and including their phone number, especially when you haven’t responded to any of these messages. When something like this does happen, it’s best to put in Haunts by Bark Bark Bark, my favorite album of 2007. Any connection between an incident like this and Bark Bark Bark is dismissed because any band whose name originates from Duck Hunt is deemed cool by me.
