Too Quick to Jump

Loyal Readers,

Schoolwork often does nothing for me. It is simply a means to an end...I'll do these essays and take these tests so I can be a psychologist when I grow up. This morning though, I finished up an all too brief project on Visual Kei for a sociology course. Oh my goodness, it was just the boost I needed! I forgot how much I loved the genre...and how much I wanted to go to goth clubs, talk to people about music and about my passion and my love: EGL. And for that, I apologize. I was too quick to jump to a hiatus, too quick to think about what I haven't been able to do as opposed to what I could do.

As you may know, my dearest darlings, the gothic lolita subculture was born, in part, from Visual Kei itself so naturally they go hand in gloved hand. It follows, then, that VK should be included in this blog. And so it will be. I plan to review bands, both old and new, and their albums. I will also take suggestions if you feel that my reviews are worthwhile. I will also gladly review bands that are not necessarily VK, but may have elegant, punk or gothic influences (such as Mr B's new album, which by the way is available for pre-order here).

Though I will not call this brief respite over as of yet (as I need to acquire an external hard drive to put all this new music on...) I will say that you should check back periodically for updates.

And anyway, if La Carmina can keep up a blog on VK and EGL and have millions of followers (perhaps not millions, but you get the idea) why can't I?

Love always my Loyal Readers, and lace and chains,
