Entry 95-- "Slow Burn"

Song: "Slow Burn"
Artist: Atreyu

Comments: I woke up this morning with this song stuck in my head. It's got a really catchy piano intro that I'm rather fond of, and despite being closer to screamo than I usually listen to, I really like this song. Hopefully you enjoy it to.

Entry 93-- "Our Truth"

Song: "Our Truth"
Artist: Lacuna Coil
http://youtu.be/SB9LXpO6yWo
Comments: Thank you, Guitar Hero, for showing me this song all those years ago. Lacuna Coil is (according to wikipedia) a gothic/alternative metal band, though I'm not quite sure if I agree with that. Alternative metal, maybe, but not so much gothic metal. As 'rock' gets harder and 'metal' gets softer (with the obvious exceptions of power, speed, death, and similar sub-genres of metal), the difference between them is increasingly blurred. At this point, I'd have to call this song hard rock, or at best, alternative metal. That would be an interesting post, actually-- a sort of editorial on the changes of the genres... But I digress. The song is amazing, and you should check it out. Enjoy your weekend!

(My plans for the coming holiday week are a little up in the air-- hopefully I'll be able to post, but I may well end up on a week-long hiatus.)

Entry 92-- "Impend"

Song: "Impend"
Artist: Martin O'Donnell

Comments: Proving my status as a complete and total nerd, this song is taken from the Halo 2 soundtrack. It's an instrumental piece with a good beat, and I honestly am considering trying to spin this into a club mix. Enjoy the song!

Entry 91-- "We Are Winning"

Song: "We Are Winning"
Artist: Flobots
http://youtu.be/3TXzkR1mv28
Comments: First, sorry for the lateness of this post. Also, this will probably be the last Flobots song for awhile-- I've been hitting them too much. In my defense, a friend of mine recently gave me two albums of theirs, and while I don't generally like things that are this politically charged, it's good music, and keeps getting stuck in my head. That, and the lyrics are well written and meaningful, something I don't see enough of. I will always support songs that get you thinking, and politics notwithstanding, this song definitely does.
