Now I don't know about all of you, but I'm into freebies. Anyways, I'm on the Silversun Pickups mailing list, & I got an email from them today informing me about some lovely freebies:

Free Tour Bundle Download

SSPU is currently touring with Placebo for their Euro/UK tour. To celebrate the tour, Placebo have compiled a FREE download bundle (complete with a printable PDF booklet) featuring exclusive tracks from all of the bands on the tour."

jyrki tried to get to my height (i'm a shorty) but i wouldn't let him... instead i stood on a chair...

( and i'm barely taller then him )

the 69 eyes for alchemy

over the past couple of days, I've found a number of interviews, articles, and videos of the eyes. I've collected them here since I haven't seen anyone else posting them anywhere. all behind the cut.

( enjoy )

So, lovely twitter enlightened me on some interesting legislation that is currently in the US House of Representatives: this particular bill-if passed- would require radio to pay artists each time their song is played.

I am honestly unsure about where I stand on this. On one hand, cd sales are down, illegal downloading is up, and musicians trying to break into the industry are suffering... well, actually all but the musicians at the very top are suffering-sorry, I really don't feel too bad for Metallica.

photographer Avelina De Moray snapped some shots of the Helsinki Vampires. the entire collection is at her myspace in a photo album with the band's name as the title. here's a teaser with a larger copy behind the cut

found another Jyrki interview---in English. undated, but on 'Back In Blood'




( read it )

but I thought it was post worthy, even though it very much is an older video (sometime this year).

Anyhow, Bam is asked about HIM, and he gave a rather interesting response. Enjoy.

found out about this through twitter & thought i'd pass it on.

Revolver has an 'exclusive' Mayhem Metal compilation that you can download for free. Total of 21 tracks, one of which is "Dead Girls Are Easy" by our boys

here's the link

they ask for email and birth date

I will apologize before I even begin in case anyone reading this likes Sarah Palin. In fact, you probably shouldn't even read this, but I was not the one who originally posted the following content; Vanity Fair did. No joke.

Behind the cut, you'll find a transcript of Ms. Palin's speech from Independence Day weekend when she announced her resignation as Alaska's governor. It has been edited by the Vanity Fair staff. In red are edits by Vanity Fair's executive literary editor Wayne Lawson. A representative from V.F.'s research department wrote in green. Lastly, blue is from a representative from V.F.'s copy department.

This was first posted online 20 July 2009. It's worth a look even if you don't read the entire thing :)

So, I'm being a complete dumb ass right now, and instead of focusing on my take home government exam (due in less then 7 hours) like a good girl who does actually want to get into nursing school would do, I'm here posting. 'Why am I being such an idiot and pulling an allnighter rather then finish up and take an hour's nap before my 9am class?" you ask. Well, *clears throat* this would be because I happened to accidentally stumble upon (aka Pandora decided to play) a riveting song that managed to seep into my stream of consciousness as I sat writing (one of) my (many) essay(s, causing me to pause my current work so as to focus my attention on discovering the genius behind the song.

'So, just what song was I listening to?' you inquire, 'And just who was it by?' Ah, dear one, the song was "Out of Control," by Kenna. I strongly encourage you to check this guy out. I'm already planning on buy his album later on today--assuming I'm not passed out in bed from exhaustion. I also reccommend checking out the songs "Sun Red Sky Blue" and "Baptized in Blacklight." All three songs I mentioned are on the album Make Sure They See My Face, released in October of 2007.

all kinds of updates for the 69 eyes. but i'm only going to do a few right now.... gag

found this awesome article online today. funny, why yes, i do believe it is ;)

The government has warned that figure could rise to over 100,000 new cases a day by the end of August.

The weather was shit. No, truly, it was. 100 degrees + humidity + little wind + dust + scarce shade = me leaving at 3pm after watching Anti-Flag at the main stage.

So, basically, the bands I watched were all very good, but the weather was killing everyone. The groups I enjoyed the most were Born to Lose ( a punk band from Austin, TX), Superman Is Dead (kick ass band from Bali, Indonesia<<check these guys out, they rock!), and Anti-Flag. Born to Lose and Superman is Dead were both playing on the Kevin Says Stage early on in the day.

I had wanted to see Bad Religion quite desperately, and my buddy wanted to see 3Oh!3, but alas, it didn't happen.

'Brand New Eyes,' the new album by Paramore is being released worldwide on the 28th


I am so ecstatic about both of these new albums.

( more info on both albums here )

it seems the press hounds are out in force. i came across two things & a funny addition in the course of 15 minutes. hell, any press is good press. so here's the latest for the 69 Eyes

So, I was on buzznet & saw that people had found pictures of Ville Valo at this year's Metal Hammer Golden Gods Awards. & that got me to thinking that there were perhaps some of our 69 Eyes gents. Well, little ole me did the dirty work (AKA searching & saving & uploading) & found some treasures. Here's one to tempt you, the rest are off in neverland ;)
