I just got to listen to the entirety of "The Poet and The Pendulum", from Dark Passion Play.
Oh. My. Gosh.
If I was any less lazy I'd be ordering those CDs now. The low brass part at around 6:30 blew me away.
I also think that Tarja has the better operatic solo voice, but Anette blends so much better on the choral stuff, and her voice is strong enough that she's fun to listen to anyway. I wish they both were in the band right now.

It's good that the kids got caught before any damage was done.
And to comment on the comments: Yeah, I don't understand why you would ever post compromising pictures of yourself online, let alone on such a popular site.
I don't like MySpace simply because the layout annoys me. I did make one awhile ago, but I never use it.
Oh gosh, I want to see RahXephon SO bad! I'll probably try to buy it at Sakura-Con. Ugh, not enough money for all these awesome animes! >.<
And now, off to listen to podcast!
There was a story on the CBS news last year about how businesses were looking on the MySpaces of potential employees, as sort of a background check. If they saw examples of poor behavior, they wouldn't give them the job.
Some people might cry foul over something like that, but they shouldn't be dumb enough to put up compromising pictures in the first place.
I'm not a fan of MySpace, never have been. I don't have one and have resisted all attempts to convince me to make one. I don't like that idea of totally random people wanting to be my friends. Around here it's different, because we all came here due to our love for anime. This is a community. The only good thing about MySpace is when bands make pages and preview new music on them.
I have a friend in Washington, and she made a MySpace, and after awhile it seemed like almost every day she would get marriage offers and propositions from questionable men. That's another reason I don't like it.
I'm glad to hear the police took attention to what that boy wrote in his myspace. At least one of this massacre was prevented, I hope this attitude the police had serves as an example to the others making school massacres like those ends up being a horrible and tragic memory from the past.
Ah, you got yourself full of anime goodness I see. Lucky you!
I wish we had channels that would pass so many different animes like yours. Here they only show a couple and usually its always the same ones. Urgh.

Ever heard of Code Geass? It's gonna start airing soon... right after Blood+ is done and over with.
I have to laugh sadistically at those idiot copycats. There are so many people like that who feel like their mySpace is a private place, where nothing can hurt them. A whole bunch of kids from my old high school have recently been kicked off athletic teams and things like that because of pictures they put on mySpace from parties containing alcohol and such. They felt like their privacy was invaded. A few years ago, the television broadcasting group even did an expose by taking pictures off of public mySpace pages and putting them on the school news show. Everyone was horrified and the teacher who runs the class almost lost her job. Frankly, mySpace shouldn't even exist if that's the kind of stuff that's going on.
Er... maybe I'm just cranky because I need food. -.-'
I started on Rahxephon FINALLLLY! I love the opening so much. Noir was good, but I liked the closing song and the techno killing music better. I loved the second SpeedGrapher opening. I remember watching it when it subbed a couple of years back. I want to see the dub though mainly because of the different opening. The Witchblade opening is pretty good too.

Haha people are way too comfortable online. Though I'm glad that the kid was stupid enough to post on MySpace about a shooting. But yeah, it is disturbing that there are still people out there who want to cause pain...
Yey you finally got the CD! I hope you enjoy it.
I'm actually glad that there aren't any good animes on TV here. It would take time away from my studies. Heh.

Totally off topic. :p Found you on account of your Dr. Who avatar. I like the layout.

Yeah, I love that song. Their most epic ever ^^
Tarja and Anette are both good, I agree. I stay away from the debates about 'which is better'. They both fit the music in their own ways.

Good to hear about that news. Yay for preventative measures.
I'll come back and look at the ops later. I'm curious about Noir.

I just managed to tear myself away from YouTube, and I come over to see this post!? :P
Out of those OPs, RahXephon is the one I remember the best. X TV might be my favorite song-wise, though.
