It's at Slim's, and I just found out. There are still tickets avaliable, and they're not expensive either. Anyone else going? JRock fans, c'mon, don't you want to see The Pillows?

Um…WTF is this?

Does anyone else remember (and have a link to) the interview a few months back where someone asked Kaoru if they were planning anything to commemorate their 10 year anniversary and he said no because that kind of stuff was just a cynical marketing move etc? I remember reading the interview but now I can’t find it. And then today I ( Read more... )

I was pickpocketed on Friday. That wasn't fun. It was wierd - there were three guys working together, and it wasn't until later, when I realised my wallet was missing, that my friend and I mentally retraced our steps and figured out what happened. It was on the bus in San Francisco (#71 Haight) and there were three guys, an old man sitting down who ( Read more... )

So, has anyone heard anything more about this? I can't read Japanese so it doesn't do me any good to scour news sites. What I'm specifically wondering about is the release of the upcoming single and future tour plans. 
Anyone know anything?

So, about that. It’s a big deal. Mostly it’s a big deal for Dir en grey, since DT reported the money that he stole as being intended to be used to promote them (videos, costumes etc). From a PR point of view, this is not good, even if it turns out that the band had no idea what was going on. They will be questioned by the police. They may have to ( Read more... )

So I seem to have adopted a baby bird. I found it hopping along in the middle of the street looking lost, and I was worried that it would get hit by a car so I tried to move it to the sidewalk...then I realised that it's a baby that must have fallen out of it's nest and it was hopping because it can't fly yet. It even still has down. I tried to ( Read more... )

So I’ve been following the Special White Lady debacle for the last few days, mostly quietly, and as amusing as it is to laugh at habitual ignorance of some of the less self-aware members of my own race there are times when one gets the feeling that they simply are not grasping what is being said to them. There they sit like the proverbial deer in ( Read more... )

So I went and signed up for MySpace...several years after everyone else. Hey, I was busy, OK?
Anyone else on here who's also on there stop by and pay me a visit. I still don't really know how to use all the features...
Same screename, BTW.

1. Squealing. Let’s all remember that they’re not the Backstreet Boys, kids. Loud guitar riffs I can deal with, but the high-pitched girly shrieking was starting to threaten my eardrums a bit. Have none of you ever seen an attractive man before? Did you all spend the last few years locked in a nunnery with no access to television or the internet? ( Read more... )

Class. Can we talk about that for a minute? I know that America likes to think of itself as a classless society but…um, no. Just because your aristocracy don’t have titles or distinctive accents (and even that last part is debatable) doesn’t mean that they don’t exist.
In reality the USA has pretty much the same basic class breakdown as every ( Read more... )
