Stuff and things, and the LJ writer's bock question.

Ahahahahaha. Have you met me? I traveled to another state to see two back-to-back My Chemical Romance concerts. I'm going to see Adam Lambert next week.

Mind you, I'm almost completely ignorant of mainstream music, just because I don't listen to the radio or watch whatever passes for "music video" channels any more. I learn about new music by friends going "Listen to this! Watch this video!" (Or in some cases "Watch this pretty ice skating boy do a routine to Lady GaGa!") But I think obscure bands becoming popular is a good thing, because that means the musicians can (maybe) start supporting themselves through their art.

Other stuff: Yes, I did get a Monster High Draculaura doll. She is sitting at home in her box, and I am waiting for the right time to introduce her to Lucretia Evangeline. Who may be slightly miffed about the new addition to the doll family, because HELLO, Lucretia is pining to become a vampire, and Draculaura already is one. I suspect Lucretia is going to be writing some angsty letters to G. (the Infamous BlueJay's vampire boy), while Hellboy shakes his head at her.

I really need some sort of icon for when I talk about Bombast!

Would you people believe that I had never actually heard anything by Nox Arcana?^* I told you, I live in this weird musical bubble.

Anyway, thanks to a random email, I went to their site, and discovered that each release has a sample medley you can listen to. It turns out that Nox Arcana make exactly the sort of spooky, oh-so-gothic, and did I mention GOTHIC, instrumental music I like. Some of it about vampires! Or creepy circuses! I had no idea! I am so gleeful about the instrumental bombast that I am stuck on exclamation points!

I've now put a bunch of their CDs on my wish list on Amazon, so I will occasionally remember to purchase them. Which do I want to get first: Transylvania, Carnival Of Lost Souls, or Shadow Of The Raven? (clicky-links to each release's page.)



^* I vaguely remember there was some sort of DRAMA! concerning Nox Arcana, but I didn't find reference to any during my half-hearted googling.
