I've been doing a bit better with my eating habits the last week or so. I've drastically cut back on the amount of soda I drink, trying to substitute water or tea in it's place. I still occasionally eat junk but I'm doing a hell of a lot better with my portion control. Where I used to sit and eat an entire bag of mini reeses I've been allowing myself to eat two and then put the bag away for the rest of the day. I believe a serving size on a pizza is usually 2 slices? For me it was at minimum half of the pizza, sometimes the entire pizza. So I'm definitely trying to cut back to 3 slices at most and putting the rest in containers for more meals. Been trying to take healthier lunches with me to work but it's not easy to have healthy/better-for-me meals, 30 minutes isn't much time to eat when you're notoriously slow at eating. u__u But I am trying my best! Got a nice spring mix salad w/ cucumber and tomatoes made for my work meal today, with sides of green olives and a pink lady apple. Will probably take a bit of sharp cheddar and sliced deli-style turkey with me as well for some protein.

I haven't started exercising yet since I'm only through week one of school and haven't felt I've really settled into a routine yet to make time for daily walks. Soon tho!

I DON'T SEE TK ANYWHERE ON THIS LIST
 

 
 
lol, I jest. You guys make me feel bad only including one sample, though, haha ;P
 
I still haven't gotten to 和楽器バンド yet, but everything I've heard from this has been great. Soon. >__>
Ayu has gone full EDM, huh?
I wouldn't have known those samples were exist†trace if I wasn't told. The vocalist sounds better than I remember...or maybe this style fits her better?
DADAROMA is definitely promising. I just wish VK musicians were a bit less stringent in the way they release and promote their music. Forget all of that live-limited nonsense. Make a bandcamp, release some tracks for free...or even a few yen, ppl would in Japan and abroad would gladly throw money at these guys!
I downloaded the In This Moment album but haven't listened yet (common theme with me) - "sick like me" just gives me another reason to check it out. ;3
Many thanks for sharing, Fiction! Your list was a joy to read and I love how easy to read and relatable your writing style is. ;3

My first thought was "I hope this isn't another thing with Aggy in it..." and then I saw it was Leda and Sujk and I just. (◉ ‿ ◉ ✿)


I need to check out the vocalist's band(s) before I can get really hype tho.

I know I shouldn't get hype yet but the train's already leaving the station so....

A part of me tells me not to get too hyped, but another is just:
 

Architects.
 

Agreed. I kinda like the vocalist but I wasn't too fond of ROGUE, so hopefully he does well with Ray and MAST. 

He should team up with that ex-VizeL vocalist and the ex-Himitsu Kessha Codomo A drummer who also stole money, and form a band together! #instantsuccess

Thanks for the rundown. I know we've talked about it in chat, but this is a nice drawing board to start from. I downloaded i'mperfect and am looking forward to listening to it sometime soon.
And my comment about the "wrong album" was actually a mistake. Because I misread (I was on mobile) that indigo had placed it as their least favorite right before I posted, but I think they were saying it's their favorite now. XD SO DON'T MIND ME, I CAN'T READ.

lol, I don't know if there's a "wrong" album, as I've met different fans who are partial to different releases. It really just depends on your taste. The first 2 albums are the rawest production-wise (#4 and Inspiration is DEAD) - so if you really can't stand the vocals, you might want to come back to those 2 later on. But they also, arguably, boast some of ling's most interesting songwriting.
The 3rd album "just A moment" is their first major album and finally showcases ling with some slick production, in addition to adding some new dynamics to their sound. This is a good place for new fans to start I think. The next album, "still a Sigure virgin?" pushes the bar even further as they continue to expand their sound (some obvious hints at TK's solo work take place here). The vocal mixing is probably the most subdued here than on any other album.
"i’mperfect", the 5th and most recent album, is ling's most straightforward work to date. All of the dynamics and experimentation of the past 2 releases were reigned in, and while that's been an issue for most fans, I actually don't mind "diet-ling" haha. In fact, this is my personal favorite because it emphasizes the qualities I like about ling the most.
Judging from the singles, their next album may very well be a less than stellar repeat of "i’mperfect", but I'm crossing my fingers that it exceeds my expectations.
Also what are everyone's top ling tracks?

Here's another idea to add to the pot....who would be down for a soundtracks theme (movies, games, anime, etc)? Basically any piece of music that's been used for a soundtrack

^ Niiiiiice (always interested in anything Dillinger-related xD), thanks~

Haven't seen this posted yet but it's No Machine (members from: The Dillinger Escape Plan, North Korea, Happy Body Slow Brain) give all their music away for free so far.

Idek what to call them. Progressive hardcore (Mathcore? I suck at genres) I guess. Someone upped the whole album to yt. Enjoy.
 

omg, you guys. ;; <3
 
(Avoiding more double posts xD EDIT:) So today, I tried to join different plug rooms and, oh sweet cupcakes, was it scary. xD Please, someone, partner up with me before the new adventuring ahaha.

Aww... I missed it? I just got home.
I guess a second open invite if anyone is online now? I could use some jams while I work on some writing. 

Excuse me for double posting please.
I saw your one night VK theme ender above and it gave me the idea of an international/foreign one, so anything not Japanese. We can even have a Korean one, seeing as I've noticed a few of us do enjoy that here and it can introduce many new listeners to some they might actually enjoy in different genres. Another thought, songs featuring only one particular language really, that'd be interesting. I know this is a total me saying this but even some can be of a certain music genre/style. I was actually thinking about an indie focus. Or just random ones I thought up like 'band members turning solo works' and 'musicians with the craziest visuals.'
Just some random thoughts/ideas I promised ender and Pho3nyx above me. Also thanking you two massively for the input and discussion. Many thanks lovelies!
 
I'd also like to ask, is another free for a bit of pluggin' today? It's become a daily need, I apologise!

I use Facebook, tumblr., instagram, and last.fm the most. I also voted for twitter and livejournal. I used to use both for personal accounts, but now I just use them to promote my video blog or get news updates. But I still kinda count that as using them. And I got forced into google+ because youtube are jerks, and my Japanese teacher made us use google chat. x_x 

What social networking sites do you use?
