Hmmm.....

Ya know, I never really thought about it, but I don't think anyone visits this blog...

Well, I don't really care, because this blog is more for me, I guess...

Anyways, another blogger at Zunetracks.net mailed me his flash drive with a bunch of music:

Black Box: WaxTrax! Records - The First 13 Years
Exactly what it sounds like, a compilation of artists signed to WaxTrax! Records for the first 13 years... Diverse stuff, for the most part electronic, a bit of industrial here and there, pretty cool...

That was the main thing, then he sent me some other stuff as well:

Sevendust: Home, Greatest Hits
I love Sevendust, they're one of my favorite bands. The Greatest Hits album was cool, I especially like the songs from their first album. Home was pretty good. I've got Seasons already, which he actually sent me, but it's all good. I've also got Alpha (wicked cover art!)


Orgy: Vapor Transmission, Punk StatiK Paranoia
He didn't send me the full-lengths, only a select songs from each, but hey, it's all good in the neighborhood. I downloaded their cover of "Blue Monday" several years ago, which I really dig. These songs he sent me are pretty heavy on the electronics, especially Vapor, and then Punk sounds a bit nu-metalish to me, which isn't necessarily a bad thing, but I disgress.


Cop Shoot Cop: Release, Ask Questions Later
Cop Shoot Cop is a forgotten rock band, a cult band if you will. I can't really describe their sound, let Wikipedia help you. He sent me a few songs from Ask, and all but two from Release. They're worth checking out.

Chris Connelly: Shipwreck, Phenobarb Bambalam
Chris Connelly is an electronic/rock artist. My fellow blogger sent me a song from Shipwreck and a song from Phenobarb. Not to mention a couple of songs on the WaxTrax! compilation. He's not bad, pretty catchy, good stuff...

Two: Voyeurs
Rob Halford's electronic side project. ....What? Yeah, the same guy from Judas Priest. No, I'm not shitting you. Surprisingly, it's pretty good. Maybe because the electronics are supplied by Mr. Trent Reznor himself... Reznor's pretty popular with famous musicians, did you know Johnny Cash covered his song "Hurt"? Yeah, I thought it was the other way around, too.

The Clash: The Clash
Well, unfortunately I trashed this album. Yeah, it wasn't for me. I guess I was expecting a punkier Clash. I mean, I heard The Clash were a pioneering punk band, but maybe I shouldn't have compared them to Black Flag or Minor Threat. Yeah, their self-titled album is more reggae, I think...
He sent me a few random songs, though, like "London Calling" and "This is Radio Clash." I bet this stuff is on the harddrive, anyways.

Well, that's it from me today, I suppose you'll have to wait until next week to hear anything harddrive-related. Ciao.
