Love the new Manson video.

Liking the new For Today song.

Haha why?

Also, a heads up; new Drop Dead, Gorgeous album sounds sick

Born Of Osiris has two new songs, not just one. Cannot remember the name of the other song at the moment.

The For Today record should be sick. I' also liking what I've heard from Born of Osiris thus far.

Porcupine tree, nicely done.
Also isn't there talk of a Crack the Skye film or something.
