3:00PM - Dollhouse - Epitaph One

I found the scene between Topher and Adelle heart-breaking. It very nearly brought me to tears.
I am so glad this show has been renewed. They have an excellent foundation to build on and the actors
are all hitting out of the park.

Current mood: mellow

1:23AM - Let the Music Speak

I've been falling behind the times with my music listening. Trying to branch out, listen to new things, broaden my horizons as it were.

I'm listening to some X Japan currently, Visual Kei is the style. Interesting Metal and Power Ballads with a Glam Rock style.
I'm enjoying it. (Saw them in the Doc - Global Metal.)

What are you listening to that I should try out? What's good? What new indie bands are out there? New styles of music?

Current mood: pensive
Current music: X Japan - Forever Love
