Just a brief review of OOR's latest album, "Zankyo Reference". In short, it's a very powerful and moving piece of musical art, and one of my favourite albums this year.

Well here it is, but be warned as it's kind of long!

Well, as I promised, I've finally finished my totally authoritative writeup of Versailles in London. It was AMAZING. The setlist is below, and I've put the EXTREMELY LONG report under a cut to prevent spoilers for anyone yet to see them on this tour!

Enjoy, and feel free to comment. ^^

Yes, I know it's out of date, but this is my first ever post, and originally I said once that if I ever got a blog-related thing, I'd post this on it. So here's my writeup of abingdon boys school's visit to the Camden Underworld last November, my first J-Rock gig and one of the best nights I've had.
