Busy, busy, busy.... I've been working a lot lately. I have to work on Labor Day, which is fine, because I guess, I can use the money.
The only place really that you can find me is at weheartmusic.com, which is kind of like my baby. We've recently spawned a W?M Podcast! You can listen to Episode 002 here in the embed. You should subscribe to hear the latest news and music :)!
Ryan and I discussed two stories: Supergrass: Sleep Walking Accident and Buzzcocks...Imagine A Mildly Amusing Panel Show.
Below is an example of the bands that I've written for W?M (go to LAB to hear the audio):

See as we don't have any bands from Finland, I've decided to pick a Finnish band called LAB today. They are a "gothic rock" band on Sony/BMG, but I think they're more Alternative Rock from the 1999 to 2005 era. They sound similar to Daisy Chainsaw[W?M], so if you like them, you'll love LAB.
Looking at their album covers, you can start to see a trend: the direction of the band seems to be in Christianity imagery of Angels and Devils. Their third album featured a topless Ana in a Christ like on-the-cross position, an imagery that would never be accepted in America (good thing none of their albums was ever released here).
Of course, none of their songs actually deals with religion.
Sadly, the only international fame they've received is being on the soundtrack to Vivendi Universal's FlatOut Video Game.The song is "Beat the Boys", which I've included here for you to listen to.
The other song I've picked out is "Killing Me", which is from their debut album, Porn Beautiful.
As far as I know, the band is no longer around. According to their last post entry (sometime in 2005), the band was dropped by BMG/Sony[1].
