      <description>It&#39;s not Friday, but I have been struggling through work, trying to come up with a solution that fits the requirements listed in the user story. I&#39;m struggling because I cannot come up with a solution that doesn&#39;t involve blowing up other parts of the code. Obviously that&#39;s not good, but I&#39;m also running out of options. Anyway, I want to clear my mind. So let&#39;s listen to some music shall we?&#xA;&#xA;If you think emo music is dead, well think again. First up is the song “The Fire, The Dark” by the rock band As It Is. It is a pretty good track that sounds like it very much fits into the emo pop category.</description>

<p>If you think emo music is dead, well think again. First up is the song <em>“The Fire, The Dark”</em> by the rock band As It Is. It is a pretty good track that sounds like it very much fits into the emo pop category.</p>

<hr/>

<p>Second song for today is <em>“Definitely Maybe”</em> by the rock band FM Static. This song takes me back to my college days. I remember me and a very good friend of mine rocking out to songs from FM Static. Those were good times. This song in particular, is just plain good old pop rock/punk rock music.</p>

<p><em>Sidenote: I never knew until today, that the band FM Static is just a side project from the members of the Christian Rock band Thousand Foot Krutch.</em></p>
