I'm going to lose my mind ... iTunes did this thing where it would just randomly decide to end tracks imported into the library and move to the next track. Somehow, people figured out how to fix this, by playing the song for a fraction of a second, then closing deleting the track and re-importing it. Some dude created a script to do this for you and it seemed to work like a charm.

Now I've updated my macbook to Catalina and iTunes doesn't exist anymore, thus replaced by the Music app. So now the script doesn't work and now everything I put in my library does the same thing. I'm losing my shit ... nothing I add to my library will play properly.

I woke up to ELLEGARDEN playing a campfire acoustic live on YouTube. I did not expect to cry at 7:30 in the morning listening to "make a wish" acoustic. That song's somber tone really comes out when played acoustically.

Here's a link to a higher def image of meidara in case you want to have a not-so-pixelated avatar.

The Xenomorphic shirt and towel got added back to JILUKA's webstore, alongside their last rubber bracelet. Just in case you were interested.

I'm loving the avatar change!

Happy Birthday suji-saaaaaaaan!

I have been blasting どく into my ear holes all day today at work. I'm hoping this band stays around, because I seriously dig them.

Doku is going to have a "serious announcement" tomorrow. I'm hoping it's a new single because I really need more music from them and NOTHING ELSE! Please don't breakup.

I wonder if there's an interest here for more ... abstract idol groups. One I like in particular is having a "rebranding" so it's a perfect jumping-on point for new fans.

Is it just me or does anybody else hear "smoke weed" at around 2:14 in DIMLIM's song "Before it's too late"? You can hear the lighter flick (a weird common trend in VK right now for some reason ...) and then it sounds like some native English speaker say "smoke weed."

Being told you need to move during this pandemic is probably one of the biggest dick moves you could do to someone ...

I just got laid off. And I'm moving into a new apartment on my own in six days. I don't know how I'm going to stay alive.

All of the censoring in the DADAROMA Live DVD is laughable. Damn are they good live, but why censor every little thing in YOUR OWN RELEASE?

I just got tickets for Crystal Lake's first US tour. I'm contemplating going to at least one other show, but I'm also moving around that time and not sure what my financial situation will be. But fuck it. I'm stoked for now!

It's days like today that I wonder why I even try ... I just got home from work and sat and stared at the wall for an hour begging myself to not cry ...

Why isn't Dexcore's new single up on iTunes yet?!?

BABYMETAL was a ton of fun last night. The fans are generally super chill and the opener was surprisingly entertaining. All in all, a great day.

I'm afraid Kanta is going to leave DEVILOOF after a tweet like this ...

LIMDIM.

T-minus seven days until I'm Tokyo-bound. I've got two lives (one VK, one idol) planned and maybe a third (non-VK). It's a shame most of the bands I want to see won't be around the weeks I'm there. Anxiety is on high alert.

I found a live video of nurié that they shot in the middle of A FUCKING MALL! That takes a lot of balls.

I just realized that SARIGIA's RUIN's intro is pretty much the same as The GazettE's DOGMA. Why did it take me this long to place it?

I just completed the Pokedex in Pokemon Shield!! 109 hours and 26 minutes and my first Pokedex completion since Yellow.

Rest in peace Hana Kimura ... I'm at a loss for words ...

Why do I always find myself living with people who don't know how to close doors without slamming them?
