Today’s Tunes for Tuesday band is…. Dead By Sunrise. Yaaaay **insert applause**
Oh look, I just happen to have a picture handy
Ooo fancy!
I PROMISE you, even though it LOOKS like my boys in Julien-K , it’s really not! Well, okay, Julien-K IS in the band… but it’s not JK! It’s Dead By Sunrise!
For those Linkin Park fans out there, you all know Chester has been working on his solo project, once known as Chester Bennington, then known as Snow White Tan, and now officially Dead By Sunrise. Well, the fruits of his labor are finally paying off, as October 13th, 2009 we will be graced with the first release from Dead By Sunrise, Out Of Ashes (Available for pre-order on iTunes now!)
While I’ve only been privilaged enough to hear snippets of most songs, some live recordings, and one or 2 full length studio versions, I can honestly say I’m already loving this album.
One thing Linkin Park fans (and Julien-K fans) were worried about is that Dead By Sunrise was just going to be more LP tunes with a different band playing them. That is definitely NOT the case! Of course, right off the bat, you KNOW Chester Bennington’s voice, and his melodic, hardcore pipes give this album it’s backbone, these are unique, deep, personal, and vivid, five-star tracks.
One of the most amazing voices of our generation, Chester’s attention-grabbing vocals pull you in to the core of the song and refuse to let you go. Rounding out the new material for Bennington, you have the guys of Julien-K and a special “secret weapon”, Fu Valcic. Once again, core fans waited on baited breath to hear if DBS was Julien-K all over again, and I for one was happily surprised. It’s been said that this album organically came to be while Chester was helping Julien-K with Death To Analog, and I can definitely hear that in the music. If Chester’s voice hasn’t nailed you to the wall, the music will.
Today, on twitter, Chester gave out a FREE song from the album “My Suffering”. It can be downloaded Here
If you pre-order the album on iTunes, you will also immediatly recieve “Fire”, another song off the album.
Out of Ashes is in store October 13th, so make sure you snatch up your copy!!

See! That was harmless! Alright, alright… I’ll shut up.

Does anyone else hate Sundays? I mean, nothing against the Sabbath or Day of Rest, or anything religious. I just hate the fact that everything opens late, closes early, and it’s such a lazy, crappy, god-I-don’t-want-monday-to-come kind of day.
To make Sunday’s a more positive day, I’ve decided to make them Bookworm Sundays! I’m an avid book junkie and I try to suck one down once a week. Sunday’s is when I’ll let you know what I’ve been reading and how I like it!
As an added bonus, you’ll get the answer to yesterdays blog. Yaaay!
However!! This week has been hell, so I really had no time to read. So next Sunday you will get a book review, but THIS Sunday, you get the answers to yesterdays riddle instead!
YESTERDAYS RIDDLE: There is a common English word that is nine letters long. Each time you remove a letter from it, it still remains an English word – from nine letters right down to a single letter.
What is the original word, and what are the words that it becomes after removing one letter at a time?
» ANSWER
The base word is Startling – starting – staring – string – sting – sing – sin – in – I
(NOTE: For some reason, the WordPress Auto-Publish option is not working for me. So even though this was supposed to publish on Saturday, it didn’t. Grr. Also, Sunday’s post was canceled because I didn’t have time to do what I wanted to. So you’ll get everything on time this week. Sorry!)
It’s Saturday, finally! The weekend! Time to run around in your underoo’s and drink adult beverages!! Wait… maybe that’s just me. Either way, it IS, in fact, Saturday. I have proof! And Saturday means you guys get another Daily Blurb.
Saturdays Blurbs will contain a puzzle or riddle I want you guys to try and solve. I’ll post the answers to the riddle or puzzle on Sundays!
Onward we go…

Friday is here, everyone. Just keep repeating that to yourself, and everything will be AAAAA-Okay! Why, you ask? Oh, simply because you get another daily blurb, and Friday’s will be a doosy! A wonderful reminder that there are stupid people in this world, and you are, at very least, better than someone out there!
Florida man blames cat for his kiddy porn
Revel in the fact that you’re at least a step above these folks!
I’ll shut up now.
In case you live under a rock, or really don’t read this blog that often, or maybe you’re even a newcomer… I’ve decided to do a mini-blog everyday to keep this place full of half-assed posts instead of virtual cobwebs. No worries, I’ll post a real blog every now and again!
On Wednesdays, I’ll be bringing to you for your blog-reading enjoyment, quotes, words of wisdom, maybe even some jokes. Just things that I find amusing or inspiring or touching to keep you guys coming back for more!
So… onward we go!
To the extent that we love others, we will be loved. To the extent that we work for others’ happiness, we will enjoy protection and support. This is the law of cause and effect. – Daisaku Ikeda
When stones are cast at good people, when the rights of honest, hard-working people are trampled, we should be angry! When anyone anywhere around the world discriminates against another, we should burn with indignation! Raise your voices! Nothing suits the authorities better than the apathy of the people, than their feeling of powerlessness and their acceptance of violations of human rights. – Daisaku Ikeda
Don’t be sweet, lest you be eaten up; don’t be bitter, lest you be spewed out. – Jewish Proverb
Frisbeetarianism is the belief that when you die, your soul goes up on the roof and gets stuck. – George Carlin
It is better to be unhappy alone than unhappy with someone else. -Marilyn Monroe
Most folks are about as happy as they make up their minds to be.
-Abraham Lincoln

Alright already, I’ll shut up!
Keeping up with the Daily Blurb, Tuesday will now be known as… Tunes for Tuesday! (Original, right! RIGHT?!)
If you’re clueless so far… allow me to elaborate. Every Tuesday, I’ll post about a new band I’m digging, a new song that I annoy everyone around me within a 10 foot radius by singing or playing repeatedly, or maybe even a band I’ve been crushin’ on for awhile. Either way, they get free promo, you get edumicated, and I’m off the hook for blogging. Win-Win-Win, people, Win-Win-Win.
Today, I bring you….
These Wisconsinite boys have been on the scene for quite some time, and to be honest, hold a cozy little spot in my heart.
These guys deliver nothing but pure pulsating sounds that overload your senses and leave you feeling thoroughly rocked-the-fuck-out. Sensual, sexual, raw, electronic, invasive, inviting. There are way too many words to describe the tunes these guys are constantly pumping out. Not only that, but behind the masks, below the mystery, there are really just a bunch of really awesome and talented dudes.
And with their new album, Project: Assimilation out now, it’s the PERFECT time to check these guys out!
Get more info on Cynergy 67 Here on Myspace
Check out their twitter Here and be sure to follow them!
Be sure to check out their new album, and all sorts of other ear-gasmic goodies Here on FiXT
Anyone else a Cynergy 67 fan? Leave me a comment showin’ the love!
Alright, I’m gonna shut up now!
