LAME →
Over the years, Elise and I’s hometown venue The Chance Theatre in Poughkeepsie, NY has had some stellar acts roll through. Also some not so stellar acts. It’s always been pick and choose, but looking at the lineup the have for the summer, it’s looking BLEAK to say the least. The only decent shows are Queensryche and Chimaira- neither of which I’m huge fans of, but would go...

Not metal-related, but I guess if it helps the economy in Latvia, maybe we should try it here! -Julia

And, I'm in Heaven →
Actually, Vince Neilstein, I did NOT know that you were a “huge fan of a manly set of chin-whiskers.” Well well well, I spose we should be friends. Rep it for the beardos Vince, the ladies (or at least this one) do indeed LOVE IT. -Julia

::TRUMPETS BLARE::
I did it!!!  I DID ITTTT!!!!!!!!!!! I finally finished fixing up the site.  Ain’t she peeerrrrrdy?  I am by no means an HTML/CSS expert so this took a lot of time for me to figure out.  After hours and hours of bullshit, my initial end result looked wonderful on everything but Internet Explorer.  But then, I fixed that too.  So basically, I’m fucking bad ass.  WE STILL NEED A LOGO FOR...

¡Ay Dios Mio!
Today was a great day in Viña del Mar for me and metal. I explored a little bit and came across a market where there were all kinds of vendors selling stuff. Mostly jewelry and souveneirs and suh, but there were two or three that were selling misc. band merch- and of course not just any bands, but METAL BANDS. A fine mix at that- Metallica, Iron Maiden, Cannibal Corpse, Opeth, Behemoth, even...

Hasta Luego Mis Amigos
Elise will be holding down the RiB fort for the next two weeks, as I will be on tour with the SU Hendricks Chapel Choir (I’m a nerd, I know) in Argentina, Chile, and Uruguay. 6 concerts in two weeks, and I’ll be back in New York on May 25th. I’m not abandoning you all, just won’t be able to get to a computer (most likely. I’ll post if I can!) Reigning en Rubia en...

It’s nothing new that I’m a fan of female-fronted metal but I’ve always been hesitant when it comes to The Agonist. Why? They’re Canadian. They’re VEGAN Canadian I can deal with, but Elise and I have never really understood/been fans of the whole vegan thing. We think it’s kinda silly. Anyway, I saw their video for “…And Their Eulogies Sang Me...

05.06.09  Gojira w. The Chariot & Car Bomb @ Gramercy Theatre - New York, NY Bonjour, Messieurs & Mademoiselles!  I’m French now.  Didn’t you hear? The Gojira show the other night was tres magnifique.  I went to a show of theirs once before about 3 years ago, but….I don’t quite remember it.  Julia and I were kinda nutty that evening.  Neither of us really watched...

Nightwish, Allentown PA 5/3/09 →
Sorry this took me so long to post about, I was trying to upload my own video but my computer is being a bitch. Instead, that’s the link to someone else’s vid on YouTube. I’ll try to work on it… ANYWHO: Took the trek all the way from Syracuse to Allentown with a couple of friends this past Sunday to see the mighty Nightwish at the Crocodile Rock Cafe. The venue is kind of...

Stuff from all over.
I have been working on a new look for the site.  It’s not aesthetically pleasing to me at the moment…..nor to any of you probably.  Should be up and running soon. TAGS!  I added a tags section to the main page.  It’s like we’re a real blog now and everything. I saw a really funny band at Mercury Lounge on Friday night called Satanicide.  I will perhaps post some video...

Dear Mark Morton,
Elise has brought the reality of the situation to my attention. I can no longer bear the burden of having to deal with this emotional roller coaster you’ve put me on. My heart is not a plaything you can pick up and throw around every time LoG puts out an amazing album.  It’s not me, it’s you. I’ve put my heart out on the line, only to get nothing in return. First you...

Lamb of God's Mark Morton schedules a signing in... →
To my dearest Julia, As much as I approve of the relationship you have with Mr. Morton, I can’t help but feel like he is playing hard-to-get with you.  He seems to schedule all of his events around days when you can’t possibly be there.  I’d talk to him for you, but I can’t make it to the signing or the show at Roseland that night, since, I have work, and will probably be...
