Stop whining and crying, emo kids, and take a dose of the wonderfully happy Pet Shop Boys. England is light years ahead of us in enjoying them (as is EyelinerSmudge, who writes today's dose), so you better shed those tears and get ready to dance your pants off. Get into it!

If you want to hear music that was ahead of it's time, EyelinerSmudge recommends that you spend some time getting to know Jobriath. The man's sexually charged lyrics, sung over dreamy pop that fell somewhere in between David Bowie and Neil Diamond, have inspired a generation of musicians. Get inspired!

My heart can hardly contain the joy ready to burst forth from inside. Today's dose is of the brilliant Manic Street Preachers. Our own EyelinerSmudge has written perhaps the best DMD write-up for this band. Find out how Fall Out Boy ripped 'em off and why they'll always be one of the most important bands of our generation.

Today's dose comes from EyelinerSmudge and she'd like you to give Jet another chance. Perhaps you remembered their rock revivalist "Are You Gonna Be My Girl?" from a few years ago; the band is still popping out rock n' roll for the 21st century. Give 'em a try!

In response to today's QOTD about having more free time or more money, Madison said:

I would rather have more free time. Then I could use that time to produce counterfeit money.

Hahahaha, you cheater!

In response to the QOTD, "Are you watching the Olympics?," Madison writes:

My reason for watching the Olympics has nothing to do with patriotism, politics, or any thing else involving a world wide competition. I watch for one thing and one thing alone: Male swimmers.

Preach it, sister! Amen.

In response to the photo "Iced Tea Macro" by xBlanksFace:

When I glanced over at the thumbnail I thought it was a transformer. I really don't know why either.

We have squinted and shifted our monitor to attempt to recreate such a view. We're failing. (PS: Sorry this went away for a week. It is back to stay!)

A little over a year ago, Buzznet was introduced to EyelinerSmudge, an opinionated activist whose "music over matter" attitude has stuck with the members of Buzznet that she has infected. Whether it's her writing or photography, she always impresses us.
