People, if Chinese Democracy was already reported to have cost $13M in 2001, maybe giving such a number now would be misleading since most of the tracks were recorded a few more times since then.

If the world is gorgeous. Not that much of a rocker, but mind-blowing in its kind.

Replacing Brian May’s nice and clean job with some butchered (probably fretless) thing.

So they renamed their tags as folders. But they still act as tags. Don’t people get confused by the “change folders” behavior?

Usually, I write a post with a list of CD I recently acquired with a short review of mine. Well, that’s “usually”, but I haven’t done so in a while, so I kind of lost track of the CD I reviewed (or what my review would be), so I won’t list everything, but just the most important ones:

• Red Harvest, Bloodsimple: Great, Impressive, Aggressive. It just rocks. This is just grand: The first song with lyrics from Jim Morrison, or Dead Man Walking which makes me want to kill someone (or at least to get a try at the mosh pit if I ever cross them on stage), and the drummer is great (since they seem to be a Spinal Tap story hiding, I wonder if it sounds the same live). So many headbanging songs! My only regret would be that sometimes the singer sounds like James Hetfield and I ain’t no ‘tallica fan!
• Chicken Noodles II, Buckethead & Travis Dickerson. I know, I sound like a Bucket fan, but really, this one is different. Is that a bird? A plane? Superman? Hendrix? No, that’s Buckethead! It sounds so bluesy and soulful that at first I could hardly believe my ears.
• whatever, Paul Gilbert: He’s damn good. But it’s far better (or less cheesy) when he doesn’t sing, really.
• Red Album, Baroness: Recent but vintage sounding, sometimes feeling like the doors gone metal. Weird but not that bad.
