Without further ado...

I present to you lovely people:

The Modern Society 


These guys are near and dear to my heart, because they're a bit of a local band where I'm from. I've had the extreme pleasure of seeing them live, and intend to go again as soon as it's possible. Drawing off influences such as Tom Petty, Bob Dylan, The Rolling Stones, and The Beatles, The Modern Society has a knack for making music that is as much infectiously-catchy pop as it is raw rock and roll. I can't think up enough good words to describe them, but I will say that their latest album, The Beat Goes On, didn't leave my CD player (yes, I still use one of those) for a good four months at least. Their latest blog entries have noted that there are some big things coming, though they won't say what. I'm excited to hear what these boys have up their sleeve, but until then give them a listen on their Myspace. Enjoy!

Starting over.

Okay, so for a long while this blog kinda fell through. I'm going to skip the apologies and get straight to the business at hand:

1. I (Lanna) am now the sole author of this blog. I think Crystal forgot about it...

2. I'm not going to follow a "limit" this time on how many Myspace fans a band can have. And I also may pull some from Purevolume sometimes, who knows. Having a limit made it about 196395890182346 times harder to get motivated to search through the dredges of underground music to find the good stuff. Everything good would be several thousand over the limit, therefore making me very disappointed. Also, the majority of users on Myspace now seem to be spam, so that throws things off a lot. Pretty much if a band is really good and doesn't appear to be exactly well-known, they're going on here. I'll be the judge of how well-known they seem.

3. As you've noticed if you've visited us before today, the site has been redone. 2010 is a new year, it was time for something new instead of the boring old normal template. You guys like it?

4. Every once in a while, I may throw in something mainstream that I'm really liking at the moment, or other little stuff. I'm wanting to make this blog a lot more personal...but not in the "oh let me share every detail of my life with you" kind of way. Don't worry, no diary entries from me. Just cool stuff. Who knows, maybe I'll give something away sometime :)

and last, but definitely not least:

5. I'm not going to make any promises about how often I'm going to post. When I find something good, it'll go up. It will, however, be a LOT more often then it has been (not that that's hard to accomplish...) and I'm looking to make this a constant thing. But I need encouragement! Tell your friends. Tell your enemies. Tell people with good taste in music that would appreciate this blog. Tell people with sucky taste in music so they'll come and learn something! And when you read my posts, comment them. Share my posts on your facebook. The more people reading this, the more motivation I'll have to keep writing! I felt a bit like this blog was a lost cause, but I'm determined to work through that. I just need your help, because there's only so much promoting I can do myself!


That's everything, I think! I'll be throwing up a post I've wanted to do for a loooong time later today. I'm sorry this was such a long update, and that it took so long to come. Let's see if we can make this happen!

-Lanna
