…but an emerald or ruby at least. This cd is beyond overlooked. Back in 2006 the band Inhale Exhale let loose what is in my opinion one of the best hardcore cd’s of the time. This disc came out when hxc was really starting its way down the music hill, but the songs on [keep on readin', baby...]
Why was I not at this show? iwrestledabearonce live from Paris, France. I could have taken the Chunnel there. Man these dudes and chick are metal. And oh my dark lord is singer chick Krysta hot with her long dark hair and chest tattoos and glasses. And metal screaming.

Every time Jimmy LaValle decides to release another one of his post-rock ambience overloaded albums, I rejoice a little bit. Back in the day, way back in the day actually, Brandon, in his never-ending cd buying quest, stumbled across [keep on readin', baby...]
Sometime last year the metal freakazoids that make up the band Slipknot released a disc entitled All Hope Is Gone which was much better than their previous Subliminal Verses Vol III. Don’t get me wrong, Slpknot is not the band that they once were, but this cd had an undeniably bombastic song called Pyschosocial that [keep on readin', baby...]
The Lost Symbol by Dan Brown September 15, 2009 528 pages/Doubleday Books Way back in 2003 Dan Brown’s thriller The Da Vinci Code captivated readers and held them on the edge of their seats until the very end.

“When polar bears hunt, they crouch down by a hole in the ice and wait for a seal to pop up. They keep one paw over their nose so that they blend in. Cuz’ they’ve got those black noses. They’d blend in perfectly if not for the nose..So the question is. How do they know [keep on readin', baby...]
