Man, I can remember about half of what music (and etc.) I’ve sent you over the years, but as for the other half… all I can do is offer a hesitant disclaimer- “I apologize in retrospect for my past self, whose resemblance to my present self is, uh, purely coincidental…”

*doesn’t know how to be good*

:P

I think I might start posting up the Synthesis reviews I do on my LJ, thanks to your inspiration here.

I think you may have sent me some of their stuff, but this just reminded me that it was really good. I hate how I forget about stuff I like. And OMFG, Cellador is TOTALLY Iron Maiden! I LOVE IT.

I thought of you. The people I was watching them with were like "Yeah, Bad Religion is a good band and all, but they're still trying to hide the fact that they're all old men." I was like "Dude! They're sticking around to teach all us posers what we missed in the eighties cuz we were still in diapers!" But I'm the same way, and it sucks; I'll start getting really into one genre and neglect the others. So I pulled out all the mixed stuff you ever gave me. Hehehe. I want to get into punk more but I want to try and stay as well-rounded as possible. I hope that works out. And I'll totally check out those bands, thankee! I really tend toward the more political stuff too, and sometimes metal just scares me. It all depends. Heh. I also checked out that Republican flash thingie you sent me. Yikes. =P Y'all be good!

Awesome! It's weird, whenever I get more into metal (like recently) I end up missing out on so much good punk, and vice-versa. Have you heard Strike Anywhere? You'd probably definitely like them, if you like this band. Their first two, "Change Is A Sound" and "Exit English", are both incredible as far as melodic and political punk goes. They just released a new one, "Dead FM", which I've skimmed but haven't yet listened to in-depth. Some indie-rock snob at the Synthesis gave it a really scathing and condescending review in the last issue, which kind of pissed me off because good music is good music regardless of genre labels or any of that other crap. Also, if you want to hear some mind-blowingly fast and catchy epic power-metal (think Iron Maiden on crystal meth performed by a quintet of mostly teenagers from Omaha Nebraska), check out the debut from this band Cellador called "Enter Deception". Or, go here: http://www.myspace.com/cellador My jaw is still on the floor from it. Ok I'll shut up now. ;) Yet again you turn me on to an amazing band! Awesome!
