Streamjumper Dear Anti-Guild, WTF? I'm into punk, ska, rock, metal, and other music that goes well with my natural good-natured belligerence, so why the ******** do I find myself totally addicted to the closing song from the anime Karin, a poppy-love song called Mou Hitotsu no Birthday (seriously, look it up on Gendou for reference to the level of absurdity)... I suspect it is the baseline, but I'm not entirely sure... I may be broken or just entering another evolutionary phase. Signed, Streamigator Prime xD It's really ok to like other types of music, Sir Streamigator. As a member of an unofficial Eclectic Music Lover (IT'S TOTALLY OFFICIAL, THOUGH), I approve of liking all types of music! BEING PART OF THAT GROUP MAKES ME AN EXPERT scream But seriously, you'll be fine. This, too, will pass. =P

Whirling Dervish EdwardHau Whirling Dervish I was wondering, does anyone have any last opinions or suggestions before I enter this avatar?
Could look no better, go for it! heart 3nodding Thanks! I still need a description, but I have until Monday to come up with something. *heads off to enter*
Here's the description. Before I send it to her, I wanted to know what everyone here thought of it. 3nodding Quote: Jim Dangle, an honest police officer, a man dedicated to the badge and what it stands for. When the Christian extremists picketed outside of a particular bar, who was there to make sure nothing got out of hand? When Terry was selling "oranges" at the intersection, who was there to stop the supply? When the LSD-heads were taking over 'The Burning Man Festival', who was there in a**-less chaps ready to stop them? Officer Jim Dangle, that’s who. So next time you’re in Nevada and you’re cruising the streets, looking for whatever it is people look for in Nevada. Know that Lieutenant Jim Dangle is looking out for you.

Zero Omega Just got back from the pillows show. Four words: Oh. My. ********. Lord. Letting my brain process the night, heading to sleep, graduating tomorrow, then I'll share my experience.
Alrighty, this show was ******** bombass and a slice of cheese. My friends (Marco and Diana) left my house around 6:00, when we got to the Whisky, the line was ******** incredible. This line was about an hour, hour and a half long. The security guard came out and exclaimed, "Holy s**t!" While we were waiting in line we saw a girl that goes to Instant Music (arguably the largest pillows fansite out there), so we introduced ourselves to her. When we finally got in the place was packed, we went to get our merchandise which was about a 10-15 minute line! For just the pillows stuff! I spent around $60, got a Buster-kun keychain, the MY FOOT album, US Buster-Kun shirt, and two copies of the sticker set.
For those who haven't been to the Whisky-a-Go-Go in Hollywood, it's divided into an upper tier and lower tier. The lower tier is for merchandise and the band's performance, the upper tier is for hanging out, checking out the band from the top, eating, etc. I went to the upper tier to check out the place, I moved to the left side of the balcony and checked out the band playing, the door in back of me opened and someone stood next to me, I turned to see who it was then looked back down at the band... Then I turned again, saw a white Hybrid Rainbow shirt, flat mushroom-esque hairstyle, ran the description through my head and figured out I was standing next to Sawao (vocalist and rhythm guitar)! I quickly called out to him, "Yamanaka-san! Hi!" And shook his hand, I let him on his way afterwards. I quickly went downstairs and told my friends he was upstairs, we met up with him again. Diana and I got our copies of MY FOOT signed while Marco got his copy of Fool on the Planet (one of their older albums) signed and got a couple of pictures.
We let Sawao on his way then put our gear on the table next to us, while sifting through our stuff. I found out I forgot to pick up my Buster keychain from the merch table downstairs, as I was about to go downstairs Manabe (the lead guitarist) passed by us, Diana spotted him but didn't recognize it was him until he made his way away from us. After figuring we weren't gonna catch up with him, I made my way to the merch table again and got in line (yeah, there was still a line, about ten minutes). While waiting in line I saw Manabe pass by me again and called out to him, "Yoshiaki-san!" He turned to me and I extended my hand greeting him, we shook hands and I let him on his way out of the Whisky to get a smoke. After picking up my keychain again I went upstairs and met up with Marco and Diana again.
Manabe has passed them again while I was downstairs, he hugged my friend Marco (they had been speaking via e-mail, Marco's a really, really big fan [honestly, second biggest fan to his friend, Craig] and Manabe really likes him because he [Marco] considers him his Bob Marley [Manabe loves Marley and his solo reggae side-project is heavily Marley influenced]) after showing him Manabe's Nine Miles (the solo reggae side-project) album. It was pretty slow from then on, the opening bands either sucked or were good, I wasn't paying that much attention to 'em. Marco, Diana, and I went downstairs two bands before the pillows went on, the bottom floor was ******** insane, it was packed so much. I tried to make my way to the front while Marco and Diana got a good spot on the side, I went to join 'em over there after realizing getting in through the middle was damn near impossible.
The first of the two bands before the pillows went up was, Freeway People, they were alright. A screamo-religious band. When they ended their set we were able to sift through people and make our way closer to the front, the last band before the pillows was Broadcaster. These guys were pretty good and surprised the hell out of Marco, I, Jun (bassist for the pillows) and the pillows when they played the song Eleking. Eleking is a song from Fragments, which is Jun's side-band. We saw Sawao up in the upper-tier really rocking out to the song, it was great.
The time arrived and the pillows came down, as Sato (drummer; aka, Shin) came down the crowd was in a frenzy. Next up Jun came down, the crowd was still crazy, then Manabe, the crowd got louder, and finally Sawao, the crowd was batshit insane with excitement by this time. Sawao opened up by saying, "Do you know... Who we are? We are, the pillows!" Then opened up with the song Blues Drive Monster. It was a furry of jumping and pushing, oh man, it was great. Before the next song Sawao said, "It is... Really hot here, so hot... I could die. I could die." Then played Come Down, which had the same level of crowd intensity as Blues Drive Monster. Next song was, Rock and Roll Sinners off of the newest MY FOOT album. Next was I think I can, followed by, Air Resistor, One Life, Terminal Heaven's Rock, I Know You, Crazy Sunshine, MY FOOT, The Third Eye, Sleepy Head, throughout the show the pillows had this preptual happiness, Manabe was just gleeming with joy as were the rest of the pillows, they were really enjoying themselves.
Theeeen~ Sawao asked, "Do you know... Fooly Cooly?" Everyone in the crowd cheered over this, then they started to play Ride on Shooting Star. This song was the contraversy of the night, halfway through the song some a*****e comes up behind Sawao and grabs him and gets his towel. Sawao throws his guitar and chases after the guy, the guy jumps off of the stage and everyone moves out of his way so he falls flat on his face. I didn't see what happened (finally saw a video of it) so I was confused as to what was going on. When Sawao stopped playing the rest of the band continued to play but slowly came to a stop, I found out from Marco what happened, he told me the guy looked like he was scared shitless. So here we were, the band stopped playing and Sawao was infront of the stage, he shouted something in Japanese, everyone so far has interpretted it as, "What the hell are you doing?!" It was a really omnious silence, no one had no idea what was going on and Sawao was really ******** pissed (you could see it in his face). I thought they were just going to pack up and leave. Sawao went over to Manabe and whispered something to him, then went over to his guitar, inspected it, then tuned it up. He picked up the guitar (is was still really dead silent) and put it on, then went up to the mic and said, "We are... Still friends." This relieved everyone and we all cheered.
After that they played Last Dinosaur, which I believe wasn't on the set list, so a few people have predicted that Sawao played it to vent his anger. Following this was Little Busters then Hybrid Rainbow. We all cheered for them at the end then they left. We started an encore chant which we had to restart four times, then they finally came back down. The band geared up and Sawao went to the mic and asked, "You want to hear? Newest song? Not latest song, newest song." Everyone cheered for it, once I figured out he meant the newest song, I knew which one it was. They played Propose! This song is indeed their newest song, really big in the pillows American fanbase because (to my knowledge) there is no leak of it from when they played it a couple of times in Japan, so it's really an honour to hear it (especially after what happened that night). It's a great song, I really enjoyed it. They followed it up with Advice and a great big, "Thank you very much!" Despite what happened earlier, they seemed to enjoy the end also.
Marco, Diana, and I then left the Whisky and met up with another guy from Instant Music, talked with him for a bit then my dad came and got us. We didn't bother sticking around for autographs 'cause we heard they weren't going to do it because of the guy who got up on stage, which was as bummer, but I can't blame 'em.
Well... Apparently (it's all hearsay from here on out, but I trust the guy who told me) the guy who got on stage hung out with some of the other people there waiting for the band to come out. When the band started packing the guy went up to Sawao, handed back his towel and said, "Yeah, it was me." Sawao looked a bit dumbfounded then realized who it was and responded, "Oh you." The guy said he felt like s**t for what he did, then a rather big guy came up to the guy (it's assumed it was the band's manager, but some people said it was other fans or people working for the pillows [sound guys, video guys, etc]) and started cursing the guy out in Japanese and telling him that he really insulted both Sawao and the pillows, that it was like taking a s**t on Sawao's face. The guy said that he should get on his knees and apologize for what he did, to which the guy responded, "I don't get on my knees for anyone." Punched the wall, and ran off. Sawao threw the towel down on the ground and said it was time to go, no more autographs. Luckily they stuck around for a bit more and some people were able to get autographs and pictures.
But yeah, aside from some trouble, it was an awesome live. I really hope to see them again next year, it was such an awesome experience.
Ride on Shooting Star Video. This is a video of what happened earlier that night during Ride on Shooting Star.

L0k1 I just watched the Spider-Man 3 trailer, and I gotta say, at first I was uber dissappointed that they cast Topher Grace as Eddie Brock...but DAMN, he doesnt look the same at all! He almost look like a real Eddie Brock, if only he was a little bit bigger muscle-wise he'd be perfect.
A trailer of it is out?
MUST FIND! scream

EdwardHau Dr. Fomite EdwardHau
It's gotten to the point where the commercials are more enjoyable than the music. sweatdrop
I still listen to the radio every so often because the same station that overplays that song also has an hour or so each evening that they play straight '80s music. crying heart
None of my stations play 80's music regulary! crying Although we do have an awesome 70's station here. Zeppelin, Hendrix, Steve Miller, all day long. 4laugh
There's only one station here in Los Angeles that plays classic rock, 95.5 KLOS. gonk
