My new favorite music to listen to is "Voldemort Can't Stop the Rock" by the fan band, Harry and the Potters. Have you heard their stuff? As a self-proclaimed 80's buff, I can tell you that it's raw, un-polished garage band-type stuff. There's a quality about the Potters music that sounds alot like the Violent Femmes first album, or perhaps the Dead Milkmen (---does anybody remember them?!?)The best part is that if you are a fan of the HP books, you will love this music. Listen to the Harrys proclaim, "Ron Weasley is MY BEST FRIEND !"; Enjoy the silliness of the playful track entitle, "S.P.E.W." , and my favorite has got to be, "The Human Hosepipe". I call it the Cho Chang song, because it's about that disastrous date Harry has with Cho Chang at Madame Puddifoot's Tea Shop. I mean, check out these lyrics (they're hilarious!) :
Well, maybe I shouldn't have mentioned Hermione.

And maybe you shouldn't have brought up Cedric Diggory.
Because I'd rather not talk about your dead ex-boyfriends over coffee...
And why'd you have to bring up Roger Davies---when he's sitting right there with his tea? Cause if you wanted to go out with Roger Davies, how come you're here with me?
Cho Chang, what have I done? I don't care where you and Cedric were snogging. Cho Chang, what have I done? I just want to replay this Valentine's Day...
AHHHH...teen angst!!! I also love, love, love "Luna Lovegood is OK". I think it's funny how she exceeds Harry in her weird notoriety. Here's some more lyrics:
Luna Loony Lovegood, Luna Loony Lovegood, you're okay in my book.
You're a little bit weird but I think that it's cool
There's noone else like you here at our school
I'm glad you were a part of Dumbledore's Army.
You fought against those Death Eaters so bravely beside me!
Here's a link to hear the Human Hosepipe:

Hey all--
I fixed the link. It now takes you to indietastic ( a blog) and you can hear several songs, including one from Draco and the Malfoys. Boy, that Draco really needs an outlet for his loathing and contempt....
DN
Ahhh...the Dead Milkmen. I LOVED the Dead Milkmen. I'm not the biggest HP fan, but I'll be sure to check out the band.
