This 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.
Today was supposed to be the first day that I started this “no music” thing, to be honest I was keeping it up; I had my updates from part of the day already written, and I was waiting on a thumbs up from flowmo about and HTML issue; and well I broke it.
I found out something horrible (I really don’t want to go into details at the moment, maby when I’m not considering going down to starbucks and ordering a venti cup of espresso to distract me from my feelings.) Anyway, I’m a bit upset right now and I really just can’t so I’ll just be listening to Imogen for a few hours untill I pass out from exhaustion. The “No Music” project will have to wait, at least untill I’m out of a spiralling depression. I’ll keep you posted.
Still, here are my posts that were in progress and ready to be posted from earier today (when I was creuly ignorant of my sad realities;) consider them a sneak peak for the full project coming…coming…
6:30 am: I drove from my grandmother’s house up to where I live this morning, (I was staying over to take care of my cousin for the night) and I felt a bit odd driving quietly alone. Topping this off was my quiet breakfast, also alone; the quiet really reminds me that I’m by myself, it’s a bit eery. Well, I’m sure it will improve later in the afternoon after I get home.
10:46 am: I just got back from my math class (I’m taking summer courses to get a start on the fall as part of this scholarship.) I’m feeling really sleepy, the lack of music is making it hard for me to stay awake; I can’t sleep, I have a 2pm class, and if I sleep now I’ll be groggy and unable to focus…then again…that’s not much worse than I am right now…hmmm those covers…they look oh so tempting….
1:14 pm: I managed to resist the urge to sleep, my friend rex is helping me stay awake (on msn.) It’s odd I have been having this strong desire to reach for my headphones everytime I sit down at my computer, I think If I wasn’t on msn I would probably end up getting tired again… I have a 2 pm class, which will probably keep me entertained, what I’m really dreading is this evening, I’ll end up in front of my computer untill I go excercise, that will really be the test for me; now that I think about it, I’ve never excercised without my ipod… (I really hope that I can actually bring myself to do it without it, I knew I’d be putting my mental health on the line, but not my physical body….hmmm….)
I never really considered myself to be one particularly addicted to music; I mean yea occasionally I listen to pandora now and then, maby buy a song or two on itunes, but I never really considered myself into music. Like most everyone else, I have an ipod, but most of the time it stays home except for the few rare occasions when I take it with me on a trip to watch video or catchup on my podcasts, but I never listen to it compulsively like those people I see on my campus or at starbucks. No I am not a music addict; so I thought hey, seven days, how hard could it be? When I mentioned this little experiment to the people on EB I got comments like:
“I probably wouldn’t last a few hours without it. My zune is my constant companion.”
“is it possible to go through that for 7 days?”
“I could never do such a thing.”
“I would kill myself that way…The idea only makes me sad… Ash, you just made me sad”
So I was a bit stuck, and now I’m a bit nervous; it got me thinking, are people addicted to music? Am I addicted to music? No; that’s impossible. But I will admit I’m apprehensious, maby it will be easy, maby it will be hard, but I’ll do it anyway, for 7 days, or in other words; 168 hours, 10,080 minutes, or 604,800 seconds…without music. The rules:
No use of my ipod. Period. Not even for video. (so no temptations)
No using my ihome to wake me up to music. (as a way to prevent accidental hearing I’ll use my phone as an alarm in the mean time)
No using itunes on my computer.
No music in my car (whether I’m driving or not.)
Any music in games must be turned off if I can, if I can’t the sound must be muted. (not a problem as I’m playing FF7 right now)
As for TV and movies (and more importantly my anime) and musical parts must be skipped or muted over; (like the beginings and the endings) and no musicals (not a problem, I haven seen one in a while but still IT’S A RULE)
No using pandora, online radio, or any other music site.
(if you have more suggestions for rules, comment)
Wish me luck…I hope I won’t need it.

Oh yes, we all love Hot Topic, sandwiched between an Abercrombie and a Hollister, they are our shining light, our only glimmer of hope, in a mall filled with preppy and self-indulgent clothes, but the fact that they are the ubiquitous symbol of scene fashion, doesn’t mean that they haven’t had their misses…
Just last season someone over at our favorite retailer decided that the words “goth” “emo” and “indie” translated as “gold” “hip hop” and “gangster” and not even our impulse to love all things shiny could save these travesties of fashion:

After a year and a half hiatus, the popular punk band Alkaline Trio are in the recording studio making their new album Agony and Irony which is out on July 1st. The band said that that with this particular album they wanted to go ‘back to their roots’ with songs closer to their early work. Alkaline Trio also stated that the music will still be dark like 2005’s Crimson but in a different way. You can check out one of their new songs on their myspace Here
Alkaline Trio’s music was popularized by their fast tempos, additively catchy choruses, and dark themes. This included things like: Alcoholism, fire, and death. The band had been around since 1996 and if you haven’t checked them out I strongly suggest you do.
Another popular band recording are The All-American Rejects releasing their third album. They stated that they won’t try anything revolutionary and are just trying to ‘go with the flow’ with this album. AAR are trying for a more ‘real’ sound, and said they are going to make every song count. The album should be released sometime mid September if ‘all goes as planned.’
If you don’t know who the All-American Rejects are you should. The bands first album wasn’t a huge success but the song Swing Swing. The song garnered much popularity but many supposed the band was a one hit wonder. However with their second album came Dirty Little Secret. Move Along won two categories in the 2006 MTV music awards.
Finally the band Anberlin is also in the studio making an album. This will be a follow up to their 2007 Cities. Frontman Stephen Christan stated ‘Luckily, this album is gonna be the best work of our careers.’ A new contract with Universal will allow them to make the album exactly the way they want to. The album is currently unnamed but is set for August 1st.
Anberlin has released many singles including: A Day Late, Paperthin Hymn Godspeed, and The Unwinding Cable Car They’re a great band and I strongly recommend them.
Be sure to check in soon, I’ll be posting Alternative Magazines ‘100 Bands you need to know in ‘08′.
