I adore that song! Also from JCS, "Could We Start Again, Please?"

Very good. Much assage kicked there. 8-)

In Search of 1988 (my favourite)
Domino Effect (the single)
Battlescars (a beautiful epic song)
Natalie Portman (just look at the lyrics to this one)

Or pick up the CD "Rock and Roll Part III". It took my a while to track down and costed me about $28, but it's worth it.

I found it! The song was Battlescars. That is such an awesome song. I like their other stuff too. Thanks for suggesting them ^^

Everyone else should check them out. Listen to Battlescars first, its so great.

Me too! Everybody gave me daggar looks of impending death.

It's always been my dream to play Judas in a stage production of that... Except I'm a girl, and I can't sing. But that would rock!

Judas is my hero. :nod:

My ALK3 recommendations for the day. Look into 97, Clavicle, Sundials, and Nose Over Tail. Those will give you a good look into their older records, and they're really badass songs. I just realized my love for 97, so I have to hype it.
I faced death. I went in with my arms swinging. But I heard my own breath and had to face that I'm still living. I'm still flesh. I hold on to awful feelings. I'm not dead... My chest still draws breath. I hold it. I'm buoyant. There's no end.

LOL ^ has a point. Maladroit isn't as good as Pinkerton or the Blue Album. Those two were amazing, since then, ehhhh.
