Omg forever? I'm on gen4 and the dergs take like 30 days before they're RTB. And it goes 10 cycles. So we'll see if I'm actually strong enough to wait 6 months before my next challenge lol.

LOL I'm gonna wait until I finish my legacy challenge before I do another one. But IDK reasons to have more dragons is always good, right? Ehehehe

Last time the windows came in chains (october, november, december)... so maybe they'll do it again. You can trust we'll spam our status updates for future windows so you're bound to get a chance eventually.

As a musician in the American market for many many years. I can tell you that's not true at all. xD It's just they don't make huge announcement with giant last gigs, they usually fizzle out quietly and just announce the next project.

It's been decided tomorrow/sunday's theme will be: COMEDY EDIT: Comedy = funny songs, music videos, comedy clips, etc. Theme will start @ the usual 8pm UTC/GMT https://plug.dj/monochrome-heaven

I love the name Skittles for a dragon. Like how is that not just fun every time you say it? XD And yayyy I have a new Gen4 heir in my Legacy Challenge. But only 1 hatchling and no new genes so my points aren't as awesome as they could have been... I know, I'm obsessed with challenges on this site. I was thinking of trying a "prettacy challenge" (a la The Sims) after this one and seeing if I can "breed out the ugly" in 10 cycles lol.

I believe in the session last sunday comedy came up again, but I didn't hear if it was cemented. GUYS WHAT ARE WE DOING? XD

Either no bands I want to see are touring or they all come to my country at the same time just to spite me.

They were a dark, heavy band, each album had a mix of heavy songs and ballads. But it sounds like you'll probably appreciate later work like VANITAS, if you appreciate any of it at all. Iirc, that one probably had the most clean vocals, though I think most of us agree, that's not Jin's strong suit.

My favorite releases were their early stuff (Abase, Quadrangle, Dole, & Hole), so the album I'd recc to most people is probably Negativism. But Rocketeer's probably right that many fans would point you to Grave of the Sacrifice too. I've always felt that Jin was the weakest link in the band, technically. But he had great emotion and connection to the music. He could sell it, imo. And they maintained a unique sound for the time, their image was definitely darker that most of the bands I could find in the scene at that time too. Not sure if that had more to do with me being a foreign fan or just that's how it really was for vk just then. But it made them really stand out and memorable to a lot of people.

Aww yiiisssss FR on MH. All my addictions together hahaha. Hopefully the new additions from yesterday will come wandering in here and obsess over pixel pets with us... >>; Now for some sweet derg pictures because I can.

Artist: FIXER Single: PARADOX 1. White and Black (Prologue) 2. Paradox 3. Libido [Type A] 3. Verity [Type B] Rating: | Familiar faces, fresh sound I wasn't sure what to expect from Fixer as PARADOX was my first foray into their short discography. But a band that houses ex ReivieЯ and Signal members has a lot of potential in my book. I'm happy to say PARADOX didn't fall too short of my expectations, either. The single opens with a somewhat generic and predictable electronic instrumental. Even for an SE, it's rather long. It's not really that the track is bad, per se. There just isn't much to evoke the rest of the tracks that follow it. The SE feels placed there because it's expected to be there, which is never the best idea. Things like this are better left to hype up the audience in a live setting. I've never found them to work the same way on a recording. But the rest of the single makes up for it. By the time the title track begins, you forget that there was an SE in the first place. "Paradox", the title track, has great energy that kicks in with a machine gun drum beat and a scream. Jey's voice is powerful and even when he turns to his falsetto it carves out its own place among the dueling chugs of downtuned guitars. The song has great dynamics and bounces back and forth between heavy and quieter melodic segments in the verses. The more traditional visual kei chorus maintains its melodious aspects but in a much fuller arrangement between all of the instruments. As for the second track, "Libido" has a super catchy chorus, and more contrast of melody over thrash-y drums. Even at its heaviest parts, harmonies are layered over screams and the song never loses any intensity for it. In a short single Fixer is showing a lot of complexity and fresh approaches to a genre that desperately needs it. The alternate song on the Type B version of the single, "Verity" sounds just like it was treated. B-side (or in this case, C-side?) filler. Not horrible "delete-this-and-pretend-it-doesn't-exist filler", but something that didn't quite fit with the other two songs and takes a few more spins before it grows on you. The verses are arguably more generic and the song even sounds like it didn't get the same production treatment as the Type A songs did. But if given a little bit of TLC in a re-recording with the right tracklist beside it, "Verity" could make for decent album material. This is only Fixer's 3rd single, after all. They get a little bit of forgiveness from me for having to skimp on what can be expensive studio time. All in all, PARADOX is a strong showing that makes me want to continue watching this band as they grow. I will hold out hope that they pursue new and interesting ways to keep visual kei fresh and relevant. I'd love to see them branch even further from some of the vk mainstays it seems they are trying to cater to, as it may end up holding them back. However, Fixer are on the right track to a strong following and promising career as they are, and I'll be cheering for them. Check out "Paradox" Support the band!

Been wanting to do this for a minute but was lazy to drag out and check years on my albums. lol. Finally did it. Japanese: Oldest: Physical: Kitaro's Tenkai album (vinyl) from '78. Digital: The Document V.A from '02 Newest: Physical: ザアザア - コワイクライ March 2015. Digital: OZROSAURUS - 曼陀羅 March 2015. Other: Oldest: Digital: Led Zepplin self titled from like '69.

Hope that BASTARZ song is good. I need a reason to care about more members than Zico, P.O, and Taeil, tbh. Sounds promising, though.

Yoshiki, go home you're drunk. Why wouldn't you want artists in charge of the steaming of their own music. They're the only ones I'd trust to actually have the artists' best interests at heart. ISPs (and Yoshiki apparently) only sound like this is about money. WTAF man. Get out.

Could have been. I'm wanna say it was someone from last.fm but that doesn't help at all. lol

Pretty sure I heard about it from other vk fans back when it was still TW. But it's been so long now, I couldn't tell you who.

Plug didn't want me to spoil the surprise for comedy theme..... *sigh*
