Sorry I haven’t been posting much lately. Still trying to figure out how to effectively get schoolwork done in-between my hell of a commute and work. Both my internet browsers at home are having major problems as well and I don’t always have time to check out the library at school. On the other hand I just noticed this is my 100 post! I didn’t think I’d last this long. I don’t really have anything else to share so new song in the BOX player, “World Has Collided” by The Lovesong. I’ll try to post some actual news tomorrow morning.
The other day we hit the 10K mark on this here web log as well as hit an all time high views per day. A whopping 120 views! Thanks to every one who visits this site on a regular basis.
An epic feat deserves an epic video. Here’s a clip of the outro to eksperimentoj’s “Broken Infinity.”
On September 19th, BACK-ON will release two singles, Flower and Butterfly. Flower is their 2nd end theme used for the anime Eyeshield 21 and has a r&b flavor with a pretty sweet violin in the background. Butterfly goes back to their more expected rap/rock sound with some dance elements to it. This single is the end theme for the TV drama Shinjuku Swan. Why couldn’t they save us money and release it on the same cd like they’ve done before? Who knows.
Mono’s new album, Gone, will be released on September 11th through Temporary Residence. This album contains rarities and non-album tracks from their e.p.s throughout their career. They will be on tour in America this fall.
