Hola familia!
🍂HAPPY FALL!🍂
I'm not even going to apologize this time for being late on this post. I'm just ashamed now. Lol.
ONE MORE WEEK LEFT IN THE MARCHING SEASON! Almost there!
Today I am sitting in a stadium watching marching bands all day. It's rainy. I'm co...

I edited this for YouTube, but trust me: This Patreon video is unedited! This is all the complete video I took from the concert!
Enjoy!

I was far away and I am a short little lady. I couldn't get the BEST pictures, but I did get cool backdrop pictures! Enjoy!

Thanks to Mikoto, I was able to work on this cover with the actual band in the back tracking.
Evetually there will be a version with Alexej Cello on YouTube for a more "classical" feel.
I hope you enjoy this version!

A bride that was suduced by the devil himself? Sounds sexy for Halloween, no?
It took me so long to think about what I wanted to talk about in regards to the style I was hearing, but after a while it clicked!
This is super cool because it sounds like 80's hair metal with a new age twi...

I am going to keep this short since I am legit finishing this at 4AM in the morning.
I wasn't expecting this from A7X.
This sounded like Dany Elfman and Brahms had a baby.
To me, this is a work of art.
I need more Avenged Sevenfold in my life!

I finally remembered what song I reacted to a LONG time ago. It was "Voltage."
That being said, this isn't the older TRiDENT I remember.
Given the context of the video, this seems like a big change for them in style and I really enjoy what they have going on.
I'm a sucker for...

Happy early HALLOWEEN!
This is one of my favorite holidays besides Christmas. I love the spookiness, the costumes/cosplay, and I love me some candy!
I know this is coming late AGAIN, and I apologize again...I'm sure you're tired of it by now! At least I only have 2...

I laughed editing this.
My face when I first heard what Kanami was doing a the beginning of this was pure gold. She never ceases to amaze me. I wish I had Kanami's compositional talents. Composing is not simple. It takes a certain kind of brain and Kanami has that and MORE!

Two words:
Japanese. Kei.
...or you could also call it "visual kei."
It's supposed to be shocking, but for someone like me who used to dress as a goth and then later, punk, this was something really cool to me.
What was more shocking to me was the sound th...

If you liked Lawrence then you're gonna like this one too.
I will say that this is more low key than Lawrence, but there is room for the chill here and this one is more of what I think is considered a groovy kind of rock.
The vocalist has a tone to her voice that reminded me of Amy W...

Again...this is coming later than I wanted it to. During my fall break, I had band rehearsals for our UIL competition today. We had a lot of cleaning to do for in our forms and music so there was a lot to do. Please forgive me!
Anyway, let's get to the good parts, right?...

If you love true talent and musicianship, this is the video for you!
All the musicians in this performance are INSANELY talented and the use of certain unique instruments sends thid perfromance over the top.

Open reel players??

In my announcement I spelled "Picchu" inccorectly. This is why I teach music and rely on autocorrect. Too bad Photoship does not have autocorrect. Forgive my typos!

I am really liking the different side of BAND-MAID.
I know it may sound odd saying that this is a different type of MAID. I know it's them, but the style of music that I have covered last Sunday and now this Sunday feel so different. It seems more light hearted and poppy, but the good kind...

Maybe I'm just a sucker for ballady type songs.
Maybe I just think the Maids have such a knack for performing a producing ballads.
I think it's both.
This one's got a hold on me. I have been humming it since I recorded it and I can't get it out of my head!

Hold on. I have to go grab my dice for DnD.
I plan on adding this one to the Dungeons and Dragons playlist asap. The song took me to another place, but then again, I have a real wild imagination!
I hope you love the mixture of traditional instruments mixed with some electronic back tr...

I know it's just the name of the song, but all jokes aside, THIS IS GREAT! The sound is amazing! The start in triplets and the empahsis on beats 1, 2 , 3, and 4 made this more and more interesting. Also, the crunchiness of the bass line along with t...
Hola amigos!👋🏽 I am sorry that this is coming out so late. I recently went to the doctor to get refills on my asthma medication and they gave me new med that have been messing with my system a bit. I'm in a small transition phase. I'm sure I will feel better soon! ANYWAY! Let's goooooooo......

I understand now what Nightwish fans mean by being "Floored."
I think this is the cutest phrase I've ever heard!

I didn't think I would hear surfer rock from a Korean rock band. It's much cooler than how I am making it sound, but it's a good time!

This sound took me down an emotional journey. I wasn't sure if the song was going to be slow or fast or really heavy or light. It took so many turns that musical ideas I thought I could predict weren't possible here.

Any opportunity to listen to and react to Tokyo Jihen is a great day to be alive. Add ADO into that cocktail and I have an amazing musical drink!
This was a fun reaction. I had no idea that ADO did a cover of "Crime and Punishment." Since ADO's voice has many abilities to morph and change, ...

I was not born in the 80's, but man, I wish I was. The clothes. The makeup. The hair. The MUSIC!
80's hair metal is a genre that I wish I was alive for and the fact that it existed in Japan and I am learning about it now is extremely exciti...
