So this is totally experimental. I felt like starting a blog because I've been thinking about starting one for a long time. I might use this mostly as a rant space but it's a blog so if I feel like being creative then I will be.

Ever since X Japan announced their New York show, I'm seeing more and more of the "IN YOUR FACE WEST COAST" "ZOMG A SHOW THAT'S NOT IN L.A.!" "HAHAHA PAYBACK TO CALI"
...and all that.

Since when did California get everything? Did we get L'arc~en~Ciel? No. Did we get Phantasmagoria? No. Did we get RENTRER EN SOI? No. Did we get 12012? No. Did we get Aural Vampire? No. Did we get SID? No. Did we get HIGH and MIGHTY COLOR? No. Did we get PENICILLIN:nano? No. And if Clash Against Commercialism hadn't gotten canceled, California would have missed RENTER EN SOI (YET AGAIN), 12012 (AGAIN), the studs, and boogieman.

Granted we got a lot of other bands, but if anyone should be complaining about somewhere getting everything, it's Europe, namely France and Germany.

They got:

• the GazettE (who we never got)
• Kagerou (who broke up before we got them)
• Dir en grey (before anywhere else)
• Moi dix Mois (who we never got)
• Eve of Destiny (who disappeared before we got them)
• a PSC tour (which we haven't got)
  
• a possible Kagrra, tour coming this summer
• Versailles (before anywhere else)
• Plastic Tree (who we never got)
• KISAKI project (who broke up before we got to them)
• Ra:IN (who we never got)
• MUCC (before anywhere else)
• BALZAC (who we never got)
• Onmyouza (who we never got)
• deadman (who broke up before we got them)
• Calmando Qual (who we never got)
• Hagakure (before anywhere else)
• ayabie (who we never got)
• 12012 (before anywhere else)
• Merry (before anywhere else)
• the studs (before where else)
• bis (who broke up before we got them)
• RENTRER EN SOI (before anywhere else)
• rice (who we never got)
• Dio (who we never got)
• L'arc~en~Ciel (who's going to Paris this May!)

Need I say more?
