two things:

1) I am really happy with my diet/exercise thing and the results I'm getting from it. 10+ lbs in 30 days? YESPLZ. it's hard going to the gym every day, but not as hard as I thought it'd be, and the eating part is like second nature to me now. YAY FOR HEALTH AND STUFF.

2) uh, how the fuck am I supposed to go 9 more months without Naomi

Re: Speaking of new songs

One of the reasons I don't have stations that work well right is that I hardly ever listen to the same one two days in a row. That said, I like Pandora's system, because you can make songs go away if they don't fit.

So you do listen to Isis. I kept meaning to ask, but I hardly talk to you anymore. I think Panopticon is the only album that could be stuck in my car's CD player without driving me totally insane. Though that had better never happen.

As for "like Dethklok," my resident metalhead is out of the state this week, so I dunno. Aside from the goofy lyrics, it's straightforward death metal, which is pretty impossible to find these days. Maybe Testament? Just do what I did when I started getting into black metal, look up the genre on wikipedia and find the list of artists that fall under it. Some of it will work for you, some won't, you don't know unless you try. Granted, I was mostly just making sure the bands I listened to weren't neo-nazis or too heavily influenced by Tolkein, but it got me listening to things I wouldn't have found otherwise.

Panopticon is brilliant. beautiful fucking music. just found it like a month ago, actually; someone in some review compared them to Explosions in the Sky, which is also brilliant and beautiful (but not as metal-influenced), and that was enough convincing for me. also, I bought 100 songs from eMusic for $30, which has made me quite musically adventurous lately. :D

It's good driving music, I think. It's aggressive enough to keep you alert and active, but mellow enough to not make you want to run into people.

If I'd ever remembered to bring it up, you'd have possibly heard them a couple years ago. Of course, if I had made it to see Tool on their last tour (kicks self,) I would have heard them well before that.
