Regarding those Christmas tribute albums, they actually dropped yesterday and the Vitamin Records site has a couple of 30-second clips you can d/l. Green Day is
here and Metallica is
here. They're all recognisable as the original melodies (if just barely in some cases). Though I am cracking the fuck up at Master of Puppets. It's BOUNCY!!! Ahahahaha. I need to hear the whole thing and see if that continues because seriously, I think it'd be guaranteed to make me laugh every time I hear it and that can be a valuable thing in a song sometimes. :D
And no, I don't feel at all strange posting holiday stuff. Two months until Christmas, people. Two months. O_O And for those of us wot mail almost everything, there's about ONE month. Eep! (I will actually wait for November 1st to do my "Wanna card?" post, though. Heh.)
Lastly,
Matchbox Twenty is a class act and some Charlotte DJs are not. :P Though, wtf is with all the food poisoning this year???
