Added "Flavors of the Month" and "Click Now" to the column on the left - Atreyu, The Killers, and Oceansize are a few new bands that have captured my interest - and my wallet - this month, so click on the logos and sample some tunes. Atreyu will kick your ass, then heal the wounds with sweet sweet vocals; The Killers will bring you straight back to the 80s with New Order/Depeche Mode stylings; Oceansize will trip you out with their 3-guitar assault and Tool/Radiohead-esque prog-rock sensibility. "Click Now" features opportunities that you all MUST take advantage of. This time around, you should go download the digital EP from one of the most promising bands I've heard in quite some time, Moments In Grace. "Stratus" and "Curtain Call" are absolute gems. Watch our for the debut LP in stores August 17th.

Brian, Mandy, Juan and I will be rocking our asses off to Sevendust and Skindred tonight at the House of Blues. Only a few more hours until I grovel at the feet of two of nu-metal's most talented vocalists - both of whom happen to be black. Maybe that's where I'm lacking... - anyway, I have no doubt that Benji will be crazy on-stage, but since Lajon's haircut, I'm a little skeptical...(half-kidding...)

So, Francis, you've decided to come back to us? Well, you know that every one of us will welcome you back with arms (and asscheeks) wide-open, and we're all proud of your courage and accomplishments. However, a certain quote in your blog stood out for me - something along the lines of "it is in this time of doubt that I decide to act." I don't doubt that you've thought everything through thousands of times and are continuing to do so, and I know that I have no "room to talk" when it comes to a topic like this one... - I just think back to the thoughts and feelings that originally moved you to New York, and I wonder how long it might take for them to return after you move back here. I support you one-hundred percent on whatever decision you make, homesnake - just make the right one, or I'll kill you. In the event that you arrive on July 27th, you can count on me to be waiting at the airport, holding a sign that will read "Welcome home, Kydd." (remember that shit!?) Love you, Frank...

"I, Robot" comes out tomorrow night, as I'm sure you're all aware - I'm assembling a team to enjoy and evaluate it, so let me know if you're interested in joining us. We'll be going to see it around 8 or 9 tomorrow night, preceeded by dinner at an as-of-yet-undecided location. Call Will or myself if you'd like to come...the more, the merrier...but we need to buy tickets before it sells out, so hurry that ass up.

Did you check out Atreyu yet!? CLICK THAT LINK, ASSHOLE! Their new record, "The Curse," is only 9.99 at FYE, so take advantage. Now.

"And I'll never need to see the sun again - there's enough light in your eyes to light up all the world. So take me, take me away...kill me slowly - I'll never be the same."
