Hey Ladies, I Write For the Blog Now + First Mexico, Now Russia?
by Bug at 11pm, July 23rd, 2008 in GeneralThis isn’t going to be much of an entry, since it’s somewhat spontaneous. But here’s a little story of how I got started doing this:
-The topic of social networking sites and blogging came up in (http://www.gabbly.com/forum.emobucket.com) Gabbly and it inspired me to make a Live Journal, which is already going to not be used.
-I posted the Live Journal on the forum.
-Flowman told me to start posting here.
I’ll mostly be posting music info and reviews and such in the future. But for now, there is this:
(http://www2.kerrang.com/2008/07/emo_and_goth_to_be_made_illega.html) Kerrang! Article.
tl;dr version: Russia is making emo and goth music illegal because they got all butthurt after the Hannah Bond ordeal. That’s the chick who killed herself because of MCR. Remember that? Yeah.
So I first heard about this news on the forum (http://forum.emobucket.com/russia-banning-emos-t22619.html) but didn’t believe it for a second, as you can tell by my first response to the thread. But after my daily trip to Sputnik Music I found out that it was legit. Can you imagine? Something legitimate posted on our forums?
Until next time, this is Bug. Potential saving grace of Emo the Blog. But I doubt it.
EDIT: Oh damn I suck at html.
