Hi Everybody! :D

Wow! It was great to hear about everyone's tastes in music!! That was awesome! Thanks a lot guys! I was going to respond as a comment but I felt that it would take too much space. So I am dedicating an entire blog to write back to each and every one of you:

Ipod: I will check out the suggested bands. What kind of music are they?

S_Jake: I'll agree, mainstream is definitely  no good. I am not into metal but a lot of my friends are huge fans. They like Slayer too! Although I can't say much about the other bands. :(

Warfust: I love internet radio! I tend to frequent digitally imported (di.fm) quite often. They have a good variety of electronica there, I really like their vocal trance section. The bands you noted - are they all metal or techno or a mix of both? I would love to check out the techno, so if you could let me know...

Odin: I am a big big fan of Coldplay!! I am not sure if I mentioned them in my past blog (after reading people's comments, I realized how many bands I left out). They are great! I like some of Angels & Airwaves' stuff, I didn't know that one of the Blink guys formed that group until after a few months I had listened to them.

da_monsta: That's funny that you mention that everyone in your school likes 'skater music'. When I was in high school, everyone there listened to rap and I was one of the obscure people who listened to alt. rock and electronica. :P Then again, I knew about 2 people who listened to electronica! And as far as rap goes, I definitely like the older stuff much better than what's being played now. Although there's a few 50 Cent song I don't mind... :P

lancelot: Hahahaha, you remind me of my friends, they are all metal heads! I've tried to get into their music but I just can't! I guess it's just not for me. :)

fingertrap: What other rock bands do you like besides Linkin Park?

superfighter: Wow, we have a lot of music tastes in common! I absolutely love The Cure, Depeche Mode, U2, Tears for Fears, The Killers, Bloc Party, Franz Ferdinand, Editors, and Stellastarr*!!! That's awesome! I am going to check out the other bands you mentioned. One of my friends from work saw The Killers in concert last week, I was jealous! :P I missed seeing Franz twice :( They need to come out with a new album so they can tour again!

yoshi: I really like the Chili Peppers too (I left out a lot of bands in my list now that I look back at it). Enya's pretty good too but I definitely have to be in the right mood to listen to her. And speaking of mood, I know exactly what you mean when you say you have to pick the right music to fit your mood!

Khenshu: I'll agree with you, I don't like country either! We have a lot of bands in common - Gorillaz, Jimi Hendrix, The Strokes (I saw them live last year), The Beatles, The Who, and The Killers. You mentioned The Beatles...I am a huge huge fan of theirs, how about you? I love talking to people about The Beatles. I got two of my friends into them and we always talk about it now, hahahaha.

langrisser: The Rolling Stones, The Beatles, Queen, Chili Peppers, Hendrix, Jet (I saw them live too), Franz, Kelly Clarkson, The Strokes, Killers, Gwen, Stefani are all great! I am glad you like Uetmasu & Kondo, they are fantastic!

To Strokes fans: Have you guys seen the new video for You Only Live Once? It's a different one from the first one they made (I like this one a lot better). Check it out here. The intro is great, Ize of the World is one of their greatest songs, I think. :)

Alright everyone, well I don't think it's necessary for me to say but this past blog was a success! It's great to know what you guys are into. :) I hope everyone has a good week!
