OMG Darren and Sarah!! HOW FUN! I enjoy the scenery although there’s nothing scenic whatsoever about the dome. Todd really rips it the fuck up on this song, too. Yay surprise shredding! AND MY NAME IS IN THE TITLE! It is called “Sweet Summertime” and obviously not about me. Also if you missed it, the [...]

I finally got “Megalomaniac” by Incubus. I’m not an Incubus fan but I love that song (the video is kinda neat too). I know about 2/3 of it well enough to sing. If I practice really hard, maybe I can grow up to be Incubus. Speaking of Incubus. I guess they have a new album [...]

PHIL COLLINS GENESIS. it’s just for a tour, but still… when they hit stateside I AM SO THERE SADNESS: THIS ABOMINATION OF NATURE I reviewed it today and damn near clawed my ears off [...]

But if it takes making a concept album to stand out from the crowd and create a name for onesself in the arty community, who could object? It’s Always Darkest… tells the bleak story of the impact that our world and its current path [...]

Website: Isis Art has hit metal hard in the last decade. Yet without an abundance of bands picking up the style, a culture of snobbery has yet to form. Those who have been creating the music over the last few years have grown, created identities, and gradually polished their creations. Renowned band Isis was recognized [...]

One more thing, as it gave me gigglefits: the “Elevator Operator” video. WATCH MY HUSBAND GET MOLESTED!
