Killing Season, like The Art Of Dying, sounds like the majority of the 90s barely happened at all, and comes packaged with a DVD of a 2003 concert in Strasbourg. You can't really go too far wrong here - if you somehow don't like the new music, the DVD will have much to offer, since the concert will feature a good amount of older material. They even thought of you on my birthday.

Argh! Another brutal page break, and this time I'm the victim!

This is quite a funky lineup of releases to spotlight . . . "One of these things is not like the others, one of these things just doesn't belong."

At least the page curcuimcisionists didn't snip you completely Tom, like they did Saleski last week.

Seriously though, the good news is I think were getting closer here. This week I tried to write less, hoping to hit it better. Next week, I may try writing more again (assuming there's anything worth writing about of course). The magic total is apparently 700 words, but I've just never written that way (counting as I write).

As for the lineup, hey I don't make the news...I just report it. ;.p

I believe -- as the rule is written -- that you can only refer to Janet as Miss Jackson "if you're nasty"...

Thems the rules.
