Music Series: A Band That I Don't Really Want Associated With My Image But They Have Good Songs So You Should Check Them Out

Despite the ridiculously ridiculous name, I really like AFI (A Fire Inside). Whenever I listen to their songs, I can't help but think that there has to be a limit on the amount of catchy songs that one band can write. I loved, did not buy but still loved, their album Sing the Sorrow. When they released Decemberunderground, I was afraid that they might have gotten suckier like so many other bands but I was pleasantly surprised. Just don't look at them too much, but listen to them. I don't want to write too much about these guys so...ja. If you want to know members, google them.

Music Series: Peter Pan Complex

This is one of the very few bands I like which has a pretty female drummer. Not only is she pretty but she is also very good. Their songs are very pretty and the main singer's voice is ridiculously high. Peter Pan Complex consists of Kim Kyung In (Pretty Drummer), Jun Ji Han (Ridiculously High Vocals), Lee Chi Won and Lee Wan Goo (Insignificant Guitarist and Bassist, respectively). I grew very fond of Korean Indie Bands a couple years back so expect more of them.

The Beauty of Human Resources

A lot of the prettiest in Biola work in Human Resources which I find myself going to a lot more often because I have to get a job. They are so pretty. Unfortunately I'm struck with a disease known only as the Asian Persuasion which doesn't allow me to associate with any pretty girls of Caucasian decent. I'm kind of sad but I will pursue my dreams which I set ever since coming to Biola. Here's a list of goals I wish to achieve in Biola:

1. Meet and get to know a really really tall and pretty white girl.
2. Meet and get to know really really pretty white girls.
3. Meet and get to know really really nice pretty white girls.
4. Get fit. Obesity is not a small problem.
5. Meet and befriend ridiculously buff white guys.

Whatever. All I can do is appreciate the aesthetic value of it all. I really hope I achieve my goals. All these tasks seem so daunting. What to do...

Music Series: Guitar Wolf

The coolest band ever. They are the originators of Jet Rock. They play the loudest music ever. This is as image oriented a band can get. Jet Rock comes from Joan Jett who is a big influence to them. They even made a zombie movie out of the coolness of Guitar Wolf. Amazing. The members are Guitar Wolf, Bass Wolf, and Drum Wolf. Amazing. However, unfortunately, Bass Wolf died of heart failure or something. In the picture is Bass Wolf since I think Bass Wolf is cooler than the new guy. They play really loud music.

One interesting fact would be how they picked the new bassist. It deeply resembles how the Sex Pistols picked Sid Vicious to play bass for them. U.G., new bassist, didn't even know how to play the bass but admired Guitar Wolf so much that Guitar Wolf allowed him to join. Guitar Wolf states that he was looking for a "bad boy with no education." He also states about U.G. "He is 19 years old. Guitar Wolf is the only rock’n’roll he has ever listened to. He had never played the bass, either."

Crazy people.

Music Series: Regina Spektor

One sunny afternoon, during my beloved Mathematics course, a dear associate of mine referred me to Regina Spektor. Little did I know that this little Russo-Jewish singer would change my life. I listened to her and I bought a CD which is revolutionary for me since I don't spend money.

She has that voice that I find so charismatic and attractive. She plays around with words and sounds in her songs and she is kinda ninda pretty. Not really. Anywho, she plays the piano but what really got me was a song she played where she played piano with one hand, and banged on a chair with a stick on the other. Poor Little Rich Boy by Regina Spektor.

New Music Series: Stance Punks

Hrm. I decided to post up a band and some info on them as well as why I like them for the next few posts. So first up is: Stance Punks.

The music Stance Punks make contain catchy melodies and a lot of energy. It is constantly shouting, not screaming which is a big difference. The main singer, Tsuru, looks really funny at times and the guitarist, Kinya, has a Gibson SG. The bassist, Tetsushi, has a semi-bowl cut. The drummer, Kenichi, has cool hair style. It's all in Japanese so I don't understand the lyrics but I still like it. I listen to music for the music, not the messages. Musicians should make music, not messages. So I don't mind shallow music. If a good song just happens to have a good message then more power to it. However, if a song has the most unharmonious lyrics and a great message without a good beat, shame on it. I think Ironic by Alanis Morissette would be an example of that. Of course there's a point where even I don't like a song based on its lyrics. Sugar by System of a Down has the most absurd one-liner. I would definitely like it if it weren't for that.

Anywho, back onto Stance Punks, I just like the image they give out and the music they play.

3rd Richardization: Polysics

3-4 frkn hours. The signs on their chests and their hair. So much detail.
