[Alt-rock] Cut the Crap is one of those bands that can play at dark nights or more general events and make it rock! This is a more general event, but also includes dibs, a grimy, grungy outfit who saved me from a psychotic episode after the band playing before them finished up with Neverending Story.

Turnout was expectedly light, but the bands were doing their thing on stage, the bar was open, and those who braved the sudden cold [...]

The Shibuya body bits theme continues with the gruesome discovery of a young woman’s dismembered corpse in her elder brother’s room. I told you kids to play nice…
The body had been cut up with a sharp knife into numerous pieces and placed into three plastic bags. It is uncertain whether the bags were real garbage [...]

The annual new year message is a vital component of any Web entity. The message informs you that the site owner is actually aware of the passage of time and cares enough to inform you that it is, in fact, the start of a new year. Yeahah, lets get the amateur artwork rolling…
All the best [...]
