These past few days I've discovered SO much due to internet surfing -- oh the joy! So, obviously, I wouldn't want to do anything other than tell you people about it. It's now 4:40 am... I don't care, really. I'm not tired.

So, I JUST finished the links for the bands to their websites, it was actually pretty fun, because I'd google them, then put the address I found. Make sure it wasn't dead (kittie.net is dead... it's now kittierocks.com, kittie.com is a cat site, and when I went on, there was a DOG on the first page!)

Anyway, I went to the sites one by one, and since I've NEVER been to most of them, I went around a bit. Evanescence has a "new" layout for their upcoming album "The Open Door" coming out Oct. 3. Awesomeness. I already knew that last part, though.

I already visited the KVLT (pronounced "cult"), because I heard about it from From First to Last (haha) when they were on Steven's Untitled Rock Show (on Fuse), and said it was the most mis-pronounced fan club ever.

First time on Lacuna Coil, didn't stay there long, cuz I wanted to get the links over with. Basically, just made sure it was alive.

First time on Scarling. and Jack Off Jill (yes, I do know what it means). I discovered that you can get to the Scarling. site from JOJ. Not much of a surprise. After JOJ broke up, the singer (Jessicka) went and formed Scarling., they are similar in a way, but Scarling is more... indie... JOJ is more... I don't know... but Jessicka's vocals are more high-pitched, I guess in JOJ, so whatever. Didn't know that JOJ had so many ex-members.

First time at Chevelle. The brothers. Just looked at front page.

10 Years... what can I say? Wow -- they grew up. Last time I went there was when I got their CD, and there was only one page... no joke, that had the buddy icons and all that. Now they actually have a full-out bio and pictures. You don't know how long I spent trying to find pics of them many months ago: couldn't find a single decent one (like... zippo photo shoot shots (Sorry, I'm watching My So-Called Life... 1994)). Now they're all grown up!! *starts bawling*

UnderOath... good band. For some reason, it felt like their last CD came out like a year ago... but it was actually 2 years (they just came out with a new CD), and it made me realize once again how... fast time can go by. Well, no. It's just that we have so many more memories as time goes by. Percentages change. Someone can think that they're childhood went by SO SLOW, and then they're 50, and they think it started and ended in a blink of the eye. A day feels so long, and in a year, we've completely forgot about it. I think about this thing quite a bit... so I'm sorry that the images are really everywhere.... It's just my stupid philosophy getting in my way... oh well.

Umm... I already talked about Kittie... I went on that website a LONG time ago... last year... over a year... when Skyler lent me his Kittie CD. Haven't been on since, but I DO believe it's still there. Know that they have a new CD coming out in '07... probably won't be able to get it, but I don't really care that much.

The Used has an awesome site... or at least the first page. I love where you press in numbers, it's SO COOL. The first time I did it (so long ago, I can't even remember) it actually took me FOREVER to figure out that you had to use your keypad. Shut up. You might've also clicked the buttons if I didn't just say it. still probably will, but oh well.

Atreyu. Couldn't get the player going, and after that I went on to the next website. I SO want to get that CD... forgot to put it on my wishlist thingy over there >>>>

Linkin Park. Been there quite a long time ago. It's under construction, so is the Slipknot site.

Avenged Sevenfold..... AWESOME GRAPHICS.... and that's how far I got.

Story of the Year. New album. Already knew about it. Site looks cool though.

Good Charlotte. For me, the band keeps getting worse and worse even though there's no new stuff coming out. They FINALLY got a new layout. Finally. But still no blogs, and that kinda brought me down. Billy should like... move to a new band or something. In all the pictures where they're together, Billy looks so alone and sad... brought me down even more.

The nine inch nails site. Wow. Looks nice, awesome concept and such. Purdy-ness.

Ok, now this is the part that I wanted to talk about, mainly. Nightwish. I've been to the site before, when I first heard of them. But, since then they got a new layout, it's really purdy. I was scanning through the news... and... it said they were looking for a new vocalist... (me: O_o... what?) So I was wondering what happened to Tarja. It's a Finnish band. So I went to the member section, clicked on Tarja, took me to her "Offical website"... kinda freaky... cuz... it's a miracle if I find a friend in the US that has even HEARD of Nightwish. Least of all, Tarja. So then... I QUICKLY find out that... she's famous. She's freaking famous over in Europe. I mean, over there, in magazines, ordinary people have polled her to be the best artist, best vocalist, most wonderful person... She among the best singers in Finland. Then, people in Finland call her the Queen of the Night, and voted that she's the most impressively dressed woman.... I introduced Kevin to Nightwish. One day during the last few weeks of school, I was walking to the bus and I heard (Amanda?) say to this other girl that the artist she was listening to was Nightwish. That caught my eyes. Something you don't hear everyday around here. Yet... think about it... it probably IS an everyday thing in Finland. Oh, and Tarja's voice is what I'd classify more opera-ish than anything else. But go and check out Nightwish. It's an interesting band. Oh!! And even if you can only listen to one song, let it be "Nemo," it's a beautiful song.


Well... let's continue HOPING that I can go to that concert!! And if I do, let's hope I don't get trampled by rabid fans. It's bound to happen. Wait... SINCE I could only find Mindless Self Indulgence for the tickets... that it's one of those special concerts? So there's less people or something? Or are they just OPENING for MSI.... cause I'm just... curious about all this, is all... really confusing.... And the fact that it's all ages and MSI just cracks me up. Even some of their song titles aren't "all age appropriate". I just made up that last thing... but they DO all start with a's.... is that cool or WHAT?! Yeah... I know... it's not that cool...


And now it's 5:48. Matt just walked by a few minutes ago. It's really light out... and I'm GOING TO BED!! YAY!!! YOU'RE FINALLY RID OF ME!!!! ...until next time.... PEACE!!! *holds up peace signs*


I'm still not sleepy, you know. YAY!! IT'S THE GRIM ADVENTURES OF BILLY AND MANDY!!! YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!

OKAY! FINE!! I'm going...
