Hmm... 1:08 am? Oh well might as well do a post. Before i begin this post, I should say that Mindless Self Indulgence has a reputation for being less than child friendly...

Compared to the others, its profane language and questionable... Read Full Story
So - you're a teenager, your mom is going to California for a week, and you're going down to New Jersey to stay with your best friend - what do you do next?? Go to a concert! Better yet - go to two concerts!! Actually, that's not exactly the truth.

Okay, folks, here's a little quiz for you: What do you get when you combine Chantal Claret, lead singer, frontwoman, and composer for the New York-based band Morningwood, and Jimmy Euringer, lead singer, frontman, and composer for the New York-based band Mindless Self Indulgence? - which just happens to be Amanda's favorite band for those who either forgot or are new to this blog! Think about it for a couple of moments and I'll wait ... No, the answer isn't a lot of pink, purple, and hair... Read Full Story
