RIAA does not want you to know about like
"According to the worst-case scenario of the researchers' findings, it

Copyright your music, song, website etc for FREE here.
Check out MusicBrainz while Audioscrobbler changes its database... it has a very cool music identification program that identifies ID tags on MP3's in your music library and then submits them to a central database that allows others to use when trying to identify muisc. I'm sure it does a lot more than that but thats all I've figured out as of now.

Jackson Flounder "The dreams of indie-rock stars, the aspirations of quality-driven record labels, honest album reviewers that just cannot keep away from their favorite cliche, boys and girls that just want to let themselves loose for a bit, and, most importantly, this website is full of music that deserves to be heard."

Have you ever felt the two separate bodies melding together to form a singular pulsing mass?
Oh yes. Not just the emotional closeness of being with another person, but an actual physical sensation.Oh yes. Is it something you experience every time, or just under certain circumstances? Each and every time. Does it always feel good, or does it feel bad? Are you serious? It's so good it will make you burst into tears!
It's nice to be in love.
Who will pay for Bush's bullshit....

Brides of Destruction have a great new look on their website.... ....Very cool design. Awesome artwork. Cool layout. We saw the video for "Shut the Fuck Up" on Headbangers Ball (which I thought Nikki and Traci were hosting) and it was very cool. Nikki Sixx still kicks ass. London Le Grand is a great lead man as well. Traci shredds. Awesome stuff.

Metallica is going to let fans download live concert shows via soundboard recording.... for a price. Four days after each show they play on this tour the concert will be available via livemetallica.com. Which only goes show the whole reason they went apeshit over downloads in the first place is they were not making any money off it. From what I hear, they are only playing 2 songs from recent albums and have gone back to playing what they play best, the old stuff. [more inside]
