Here's the latest additions to my ever-growing collection: NINETEEN88: "The Great American Rock and Roll Spectacle" ACES HIGH: "Forgive and Forget" SNAKERYDER: "D.O.A." JEFF SCOTT SOTO: "Lost in Translation" BUTCH WALKERS: "Letters"

In the apartment, it's MOTLEY CRUE: "Motley Crue" (yeah, I like it...sue me ). In the truck, it's PUSH: "On the Run."

Just picked up SWEET TEAZE: "Do it Till it Hurtz." Looks like I can finally replace that dang CDR I've been wearing out for the past 2 yrs....

Still can't stop playing PARLOR TRIXX: "Step Into my Parlor" while I'm rambling about my apartment, but I did take the PRIMAL FEAR out of my truck and replace it with PUMP: "Against Everyone's Advice," which really rocks. Keep the faith. Mark

Currently spinning is PARLOR TRIXX: "Step Into my Parlor." Just before that it was PRIMAL FEAR: "Devil's Ground." Sometimes you want some hair, sometimes you want some heavy...

Just picked up the new BOWLING FOR SOUP: "A Hangover you Don't Deserve." Not to everybody's taste, I know, but pretty good power-pop produced by the great Butch Walker.

Currently spinning SALIVA: "Back Into Your System." Something tells me Freddy would not approve...

Only picked up one new CD since my last posting, and that was PAPA ROACH: "Getting Away With Murder," which sees the band forsaking their rap-metal roots in favor of full-throttle, attitude-driven hard rock/metal that can be compared to Saliva's "Survival of the Sickest" album.

Currently cranking WICKED SENSATION: "Reflected" while I prowl around the site for a few minutes...

My most recent acquisitions... ROUGHHOUSE: s/t SALIVA: "Survival of the Sickest" SNAKE EYE: "Wild Senses" TWIZTED TOYZ: "Powergamez" TWIZTED TOYZ: "Of Moon and Scars" TWIZTED TOYZ: "Fragments of a Distant Thunder" SADDLETRAMP: "Get me off or get off me" Keep the faith. Mark

I'll join the chorus of dissatisfication regarding eBay powerseller davesmetal. Back a few years ago when he first started up, he was pretty reliable and I received most of the CDs I won within a week. Then one week became two, became three, became whenever the hell he felt like sending it. Approx. 1.5 yrs. ago, I won a disc from him and after three weeks, still hadn't received it. Emails went unanswered and I finally resorted to a phone call. He was nice enough and promised to send me a replacement, but that never happened. After waiting another 3 weeks, I called him again, and he said he couldn't locate another copy of the CD and would refund my money. I received that refund two weeks later. So, after waiting two months to get results, I decided never to deal with the guy again and I haven't. There's far better sellers out there--often with better stuff, I might add--to make it worth putting up with slow service and unresponsive customer service. I don't know what turned him from reliable to unreliable, nor do I really care. Dave can keep his metal...I'll get mine somewhere else, thank you very much.

Currently spinning MAXIMUM: "Just for Kicks." Before that was Lit's new album, which is a must-own for melodic nu-breed fans.

Mark

"Victims...aren't we all?" -- from THE CROW.

Today it was ADRIANGALE: "Reprogram" while cleaning the apartment, then BLOODGOOD: "All Stand Together" for running errands around town.

Here's what I've picked up since my last posting: HOOBASTANK: s/t THOUSAND FOOT KRUTCH: "Phenomenon" FALLING UP: "Crashings" BAD MOON RISING: "Opium for the Masses" THE KILL: "Wake the Dead" ROXX: "Outlaws, Fools, & Thieves" TNT: "My Religion" TRIXIE: s/t SLAM ST.

This week's purchases: 7TH HEAVEN: "Silver" BLINDSIDE: "About a Burning Fire" KUTLESS: "Sea of Faces" All good stuff in their particular genres. Keep the faith. Mark

Too bad I'm supposed to be saving for my wedding, so my girlfriend wants to kill me... Keep the faith. Mark

Right now it's CASANOVA: "Heroes." Earlier I enjoyed a little ROCK CANDY: "Sucker for a Pretty Face," and this morning I cranked to DIRTY DEEDS: "Danger of Infection." Good stuff, one and all. Keep the faith. Mark
