Really went through a mental struggle posting this one up.  It’s hovering all over the “Strictly Emo” category, but I’m not sure it’s fully there.  Either way, I’ve been listening to Owl City’s Ocean Eyes for a little while now, and I’m coming around.  Let me know with a thumbs down if I’ve gone 100% emo and there’s no looking back.  Thumbs up if the track, “Cave In”, is actually legit.  I’m gonna need your help on this one.  Either way, there’s no way in hell you can tell me that the beat at the beginning and at the 3:34 … Continue reading →
