Straightedge Toast
This guy maybe has my favorite bad tattoos of all time. Ever. Period.
Possibly because I have a real soft spot for straight edge tattoos and punk/hc tattoos, possibly because they are just hilarious.
Description from the horse's mouth below:
All my friends have toast tattoos, because when you're poor and dumpster for your food bread is always readily available - it's this thing that kinda unifies us at this point in our lives. The Earth Crisis theme came about when some silly hardline XVX kids were staying at this punk house and talking about how belittling a band with serious issues is a bad thing, and how EC was cool and really helped push ideas into hardcore, and then they started insulting the people who lived at that house by degrading them and saying they had bad views, even making someone get near the verge of crying because she ate sparingly fish.
I realized that the lyrics for the beginning of Firestorm worked really well with toast (the original lyrics for those who don't know are "Street by street/block by block/taking it all back", referring to cleansing a neighborhood of drug dealers.) I went and got the tattoo done in an hour, showed them, and started drinking and eating cheese for the rest of the night (even though I was vegan at the time.) They stopped talking to me, and left shortly after.
I'm going to be getting a tattoo really soon that is based off of the anarchist atheist saying "No Gods, No Masters", but its gonna say "Dogs, No Masters" and have a kennel on fire and someone holding a leash with his brains blown out, and upside down crosses made of milk bones. I didn't think up that saying, though

Hit The Lights
MAH OE!
Oi amiguinhos coloridos e supimpantes! Que saudades disso aqui, dude. *-* Adivinhem só, mais uma vez eu vou começar o post da semana com um big pedido de desculpas. É, já tá virando rotina. Vamos aos fatos, queridos. Um: eu ia postar no domingo passado sobre uma banda muuito boa chamada South Jordan (que eu posto de novo em breve), maas, eu sou mongol. Perdi o e-mail daqui, e quando eu achei ele e entrei no blog de novo pra postar, o post já tinha
ido pro brejo. Resultado: uma Diana extremamente irritada, que não postou bundas (nádegas). Dois: estou na tpm e, hoje, tudo pra mim ou é oito, ou é oitenta. Ou seja, o post vai ser uma coisa extremamente... gay? Vai ser legal, notem minha bipolaridade.Os caras que mereceram sem dúvida nenhuma estar aqui hoje nomearam a banda como Hit The Lights. Vocês não imaginam como eles são bons, sério. O HTL, banda de pop punk de Lima, Ohio, surgiu em 2003 e escolheu esse nome por causa da música Hit The Lights do Metallica. Os integrantes são Nick nos vocais, Omar na guitarra, David no baixo, Kevin também na guitarra e Nate na batera.
Desde o lançamento do álbum This is a stickup, don't make it a muder (2006), o grupo tem construído uma base sólida de fãs ao redor do mundo através de shows constantes. Já fizeram turnê com bandas como New Found Glory, Boys Like Girls, Hellogoodbye, The Rocket Summer, além de tocarem na Warped Tour, no Bamboozle e esgotou sua própria turnê. O álbum Skip School, Start Fights foi lançado em 2008.

Lipstick
Lipstick é uma das mais novas sensações do rock nacional. O mais diferencial é que a banda é composta por mulheres muito estilosas e com o rock na veia.No inicio a banda era apenas uma forma de diversão para as meninas que conciliavam a banda com os seus outros afazeres e estudos no ABC paulista.
Depois de um tempo, a banda começou a ficar conhecida no cenário paulista como uma das melhores bandas de rock e com isso o sucesso começou a bater na porta das meninas.
Em 2005 o primeiro grande obstáculo, a saída da vocalista da banda deixou o lipstick no chão. Mas logo depois elas perceberam que isso foi bom para a banda, para que ocorresse a entrada da nova vocalista Mel Ravasio, com uma pegada bem mais de rock‘n’roll que a antiga vocalista não tinha.
A banda hoje é formada por: Mel Ravasio: Vocal - Carol Navarro: Baixo, Voz - Dedê Soares: Guitarras, Voz - Mi Oliveira: Teclados - Tila Gandra: Bateria

Firefox Extensions for the Music Enthusiast
With thousands of extensions developed for Firefox, it can be a tedious task trying to find the extension that suites your needs. I have tried to take the guess work out of hunting for the best music related Firefox extensions by putting together this list. If you use Firefox, these extensions will give you more control over your music collection, as well as online content. As with any list of this sort, it is far from being all-inclusive, so if you know of an extension that should be added to this list please leave a comment.
Fire.fm - Fire.fm was the winner of the Extend Firefox 3 contest, and with good reason. It gives you full access to the Last.fm library from anywhere you may surf to. Discover new artists, play favorite tracks, explore people with similar music tastes and more.
FoxyTunes - With FoxyTunes installed you can control just about any media player from directly inside your browser. Also finds album covers, displays lyrics and more.
GoMuzik - You can search the GoMuzik library of over 1 million songs and play those you like, make playlists and more.
Lala Control - While this extension has same drawbacks (a tab must be opened, songs must have started playing or be in your queue), it will allow you to control the Lala.com flash player without having to constantly switch tabs all the time.
Music Hutch Toolbar - This toolbar works exclusively with music and videos on The Music Hutch, and with it you can shuffle and search all of the files for playback.
Music Player Minion - This extension operates as a client for the Music Player Daemon network, allowing you to control music from one computer on your home network from another.
My Opus Radio - Adds a player to the status bar to play India’s first online radio station for international music.
Online Music Player - This music player installs down in your status bar and allows you to play MP3 files either from the web or from local files. It is also capable of displaying lyrics and managing playlists.
Play Them All - Play Them All scans all of the links on a page for ones that end in .mp3 and creates a M3U playlist from them so that you can easily play them.
Radio Eksen - This add-on will allow you to see what is currently playing on Radio Eksen, a rock radio station in Istanbul, Turkey. You can click on the display to listen to the station in your media player, check the artist out on Wikipedia (Wikipedia reviews) or Last.fm, get lyrics from Google (Google reviews) and more.
Album-Cover-Art.org - Allows you to search Album-Cover-Art.org for album cover artwork you may be missing for your music collection.
FindThatBand - Allows you to highlight a band name on a site, right click to select search, and it will pull up information about that band on MySpace (MySpace reviews), LastFM, Pandora (Pandora reviews), or Wikipedia.
FiTunes Sidebar Extension - Shows you a sidebar built around the top 25 iTunes Store categories such as singles and albums.
Harmony - This add-on integrates with Pandora or FoxyTunes to give you real-time information about the music you are listening to, and will also scrobble the songs to your Last.fm account for you.
Song.ly - Song.ly allows you to share songs with all of your Twitter followers with just two clicks, and will take them to a page where the song is embedded in a player for them to hear. Sort of like Blip (BLIP reviews).fm, but it works more directly with Twitter.
TwittyTunes - From the same people who make FoxyTunes, TwittyTunes will allow you to post whatever music you have playing to your Twitter stream. What is nice is that this isn’t done automatically, but only when you click the button, so you won’t end up spamming your followers with song title after song title.
SkipScreen - This is an extension that I'm sure all those who frequent music blogs can appreciate. While it wasn't created specifically for music, I felt it was necessary to include it on the list considering it's relevance.
That's all for now. I will continue to update this list as I discover new music related extensions. Again, if you know of an extension that should be included on this list, please leave a comment.

New URL for 4 Brothers Beats
The boys are back in town. I've been out of touch with the ongoings of the music blog scene, and although I'm sure it's old news to some, I'm happy to report that the gentlemen who run the 4 Brothers Beats blog are back up and running, only this time they have relocated to Wordpress. The blog, which is one of the elite soul/funk music blogs, recently made their blog private in order to take a brief break from blogging. Many of you enquired about invitations to the private blog, so I'm sure you all will be as pleased as I am to see the brothers back in the saddle. The format of the blog is a little different this time around, as they have adopted a "album of the week" presentation, but you'll receive the same top-notch quality material that you've come to expect from 4BB.

Vanguart é uma banda de folk rock formada no ano de 2002 em Cuiabá, Mato Grosso, pelo vocalista e violonista Helio Flanders.Originalmente, Vanguart era um ato solo de Helio Flanders, logo após sair de um grupo de glam rock. Helio tocava violão, teclado e cantava, mandando tudo para o computador. Antes de ir para a Bolívia, Helio gravou dois discos: Ready To... e The Noon Moon, que não chegaram a ser oficialmente lançados, foram apenas distribuídos para amigos próximos.
Em 2005, a banda começou a participar de festivais independentes, o que fez com que seu som chegasse à outras pessoas. Em 2006 foi lançado o single "Semáforo", que fez muito sucesso na cena independente do Brasil. Em dezembro de 2006, o grupo entrou em estúdio para gravar seu primeiro álbum, Vanguart. O álbum foi lançado em julho de 2007 na revista Outracoisa.
Eles estavam programados para tocarem no palco Novo Rock BR do Tim Festival de 2007, no Rio de Janeiro, junto com os grupos Montage e Del Rey, mas sua apresentação neste festival foi cancelada devido à questões de segurança. A chuva inundou o palco e molhou os equipamentos elétricos do show.
No começo de 2008, tornou-se uma banda do Levi's Music após ter sido classificada pela marca mãe, a Levi's, como uma banda unbutton.
Em 26 de Abril de 2008, a Vanguart se apresentou na Virada Cultural, evento que ocorre em São Paulo, no Palco Festivais Independentes, junto com bandas como Mundo Livre S/A, Luisa Mandou Um Beijo, Los Porongas, entre diversos outros artistas, seu show foi considerado um dos melhores de toda a Virada, sendo destaque no jornal Estado de São Paulo.
E pode soar estranho o Vanguart estrear em uma gravadora grande com CD e DVD ao vivo, mas uma banda que se consagrou nos palcos dos festivais independentes Brasil afora não poderia escolher melhor plataforma para ser “apresentada” ao grande público. O show “Multishow Registro” traz “hits” (“Semáforo” e “Cachaça”), participações especiais (Mallu Magalhães e Luiz Carlini, entre outros) inéditas (como a ótima “You know me so well”) e uma versão roqueira de “O mar”, de Dorival Caymmi.
More amazing back pieces
What happened to this angel's feet? Don't they look just like stumps? Also why is one angel stomping the other one's head? I think I see some horns on the bottom angel there, so maybe it's Lucifer being shown what's up.
Let me show you a wonderful trio of ridiculous back tattoos:
Now I know that this photo was taken mid-scabby-stage so I won't be *too* harsh about the quality of the tattooing here, because it's really hard to tell. HOWEVER, it's impossible to tell what's going on! I do see some flaming dice, and a '3', but what are the weird globby things on each shoulder? They look like rotting lettuce.
Okay, now this one just confuses me. I am under the assumption that it's not finished. The triangle thing on the left is one of the worst tattoos I've seen, but seems like a pretty explainable bad tattoo to get. The Japanese guy on the right is not actually that bad, and obviously isn't done yet. What REALLY baffles me though, is what is on the bottom. It looks like a scratched on sunbathing girl at the beach! IT CAN'T BE SO! sdlkfjslfjs! Amazing.

Senses Fail
Buenas noches, amigos!
Como estão todos vocês? Ok, eu queria comeria começar o post de hoje com um ENORME pedido de desculpas. Por ter não ter postado ontem e tudo mais. O caso foi o seguinte: meu computador estava fazendo docinho porque o dono dele ia viajar de novo hoje de manhã e o navegador decidiu que não ia abrir site nenhum. Ou seja, eu não consegui postar porque meu computador é um puta sem vergonha. Por isso, eu peço mil desculpas. Enfim, cá estou eu pra alegrar o dia mais entediante, porre e insuportável da semana - a tão amada segun
da-feira.Essa semana meu bebê (o SGB) fez um mêês, pessoas. Então, eu decidi que eu deveria indicar pra vocês uma banda de peso. Não que as outras que eu tenha indicado não sejam de peso, elas obviamente são, mas a que eu quero indicar hoje tem mais história pra contar. Senhoras e senhores, eu vos apresento o Senses Fail.
Formada em 2002, a banda de post-hardcore de Bergen County, New Jersey, tem como integrantes Buddy Nielsen nos vocais, Garrett Zablocki na guitarra, Mike Glita no baixo, Dan Trapp na bateria e Heath Saraceno também na guitarra.
O primeiro EP, 'From the depths of your dreams', foi lançado em 2002, seguido pelo primeiro álbum da banda, 'Let it enfold you', lançado em 2004. Em 2006 o álbum 'Stil Searching' ficou em 15º lugar na parada da billboard e teve como um de seus singles a música 'Can't be saved' (a música se destacou tanto que acabou entrando pra lista de músicas do jogo Guitar Hero III).
O álbum mais recente da banda se chama 'Life is not a waiting room'. Quando questionado sobre o assunto, o vocalista diz "A maior parte deste cd é escrita sobre o recente término da relação de longa data com uma namorada, a primeira pessoa que eu me apaixonei, e com quem eu passei muito tempo e compartilhei minha transição de criança pra adulto" explica. “Os outros elementos consistem em arrependimentos e em como eles podem abrir um buraco em chamas na sua alma; como o passado é uma coisa que você não pode mudar... Também existem os momentos bons onde eu me acho aceitando aqueles fatos, e sabendo do problema você pode então ser proativo e mudar." Quanto ao título do cd, Nielsen diz "Eu sinto que tenho vivido como se estivesse esperando que algo acontecesse, mas eu sei que essa é a maneira errada de se viver - isso simplesmente não promove nenhum tipo de felicidade. O título mostra a direção que eu quero seguir, do que quero me afastar, e é um apelo para que todos os outros parem de viver como eu tenho vivido."
O clipe mais recente da banda se chama 'Family Tradition', e você pode conferir ele logo abaixo. (;
New & Improved Design - Feedback Needed
Welcome to the new and improved Digital Meltd0wn Music Blogroll. I would like to apologize for taking so long to unveil the new layout. I have been working close to 60 hours a week each and every week, which didn't leave me much time to work on the design.
There are still a number of small fixes that need to be applied to some older posts, as the new CSS stylesheet isn't compatible with some of them, particularly the featured blogs posts. I'll work on fixing these over the course of the next couple of days depending on how much free time I have. Once I've finished that, I'll make the necessary changes to this design so that I can apply it to my regular music blog also. The good news is that the meat and potatoes of this blog, the blogroll itself, is in fine working order. I think that it is much easier to navigate now, and I hope that you all will agree. There are still a number of small hacks that I intend to make in addition to the fixes, which will not only increase the functionality of the blog, but will also improve the aesthetic quality. I hope these changes are favorably received as well.
As always, feel free to leave me some positive feedback or constructive criticism. Please let me know if there is a feature that you would like to see added. I have started a list of known issues, which you can find below. If you spot a problem that isn't on the list, please leave a comment identifying the problem, and be sure to include some info about the browser you are using. I hope you all enjoy the new and improved Digital Meltd0wn Music Blogroll.

Fight Fair
Hell-o, guys!
Cara, só de pensar que esse já é o quarto post que eu faço aqui... Só de pensar que o próximo post já fecha o ciclo de UM MÊS do SGB... Wow.
Enfim, a recomendação de hoje é: Fight Fair.
A banda é composta por Alex Bigman nos vocais, Evan Henkel na guitarra, Josh Reef na batera, Kyle Wanninger na guitarra e Chris Begley no baixo. FF surgiu, adivinhem aonde? YES! San Diego, Califórnia, amigos (te lembra alguma outra banda que voltou recentemente? HAHA). O propósito era simples, e parece ser comum das bandas de Cali: trazer a diversão de volta ao pop. O primeiro EP, 'Settle the score', foi o suficiente pra conseguir a atenção da gravadora Triple Crown Records, sendo lançado novamente logo em seguida, dessa vez pela gravadora, e se tornando aclamado pela mídia e pelos fãs.
No início de 2009, a banda entrou em turnê nacional pela primeira vez e começará a gravar o primeiro cd no início da primavera.
All Time Low
All Time Low lançou dois álbuns estúdio como uma banda, tanto com a actual linha. A banda assinou seu primeiro registro em 2004, com a lider Emerald Moon Records, lançando, o EP The Three Words to Remember in Dealing with the End. No ano seguinte, eles lançaram o seu primeiro cd gravado em estudio o The Party Scene, também pela Emerald Moon Records.
A banda ainda estava na escola secundária quando assinaram com a Hopeless Records em 2006. Na hopeless eles gravaram o segundo EP Put Up or Shut Up.
Em 2007 eles gravaram seu segundo álbum em estudio o So Wrong, It's Right, que se tornou seu maior êxito comercial, atingindo um número maximo nas paradas nacionais.
All Time Low pretende lançar o seu terceiro álbum de estúdio de Julho de 2009, que será intitulado de Nothing Personal. A banda está terminado de gravar, que esta sendo produzidas por Matt Squire, Butch Walker, David Bendeth, Sam Hollander, e Dave Katz. Em 24 de março de 2009, uma nova canção chamada "Weightless" foi disponibilizada para compra on-line no AbsolutePunk.net.
All Time Low esta em excursao com o Fall Out Boy no momento e anunciou, que farão shows na Austrália e no Japão, em Junho de 2009, e existem rumores que dizem que eles estarão em excursão com Good Charlotte em outono.
