Fun Facts of the Day

[aide]

☆ Inoue Joe's new single is going to be a tie-in to a beauty contest on NTV.  Not that he's got any sort of pre-ordained "image" like JE does (wholesome hot boys who don't have girlfriends, what?) but this makes me think he is a huge pimp.  Look at all the boobies!

☆ 五円 (five yen) sounds like ご縁 (karma) so that's why people throw 5-yen coins into the donations boxes at shrines: for good karma!

☆ I have been going through and working on my Clean Up iTunes project.  I didn't realize I had so much alternative rock.  Do you know what nu metal is?  It's a heavy metal subgenre that'sbasically a mash-up of grunge, alt-rock, funk metal, hip hop and industrial music.  It was pioneered by bands such as P.O.D., Korn, Limp Bizkit and Linkin Park.  I feel so hardcore right now.

Oh, you changed your layout. *looks around* :D

nu metal = P.O.D., Korn, Limp Bizkit and Linkin Park
So that's what it's called. I've been racking my brains for Linkin Park's genre. They're not exactly rock so I was confused with that.

And that bit about 5 yen and karma is pretty spiffy. :D

Yea, I went for a LJ standard issue one because I haven't seen aynthing I like these days!

I always always calling them alternative rock, but it was more like alternative metal. But it's not it's own name now!

I had no idea you liked metal music! (Do you?) It's such at the opposite end of the spectrum from Arashi, lol.

I like some metal, I guess. I like older Metallica, a couple random songs here and there that I heard from my brother and I did like LB and still do like LP. :D Don't really follow the scene much though.
