Newbury Comics is having a 2-for-1 sale on all new and used CDs today and this weekend. They do this every now and then, and it's awesome. Say I buy three CDs at $7.99 apiece and three at $3.99, they don't give me two free $3.99 CDs. They group them, highest to lowest, so I'd get both a $7.99 and $3.99 CD for free. And you can mix and match used and new.

It's pretty sweet.

All told, excluding the vinyl EP, those CDs cost me $56.37. I got some from a super-cheap online site.

Yeah, I dig them. I'm so old I rarely even register cheesy lyrics. Haha.

I don't usually pay much attention to lyrics either but the singer's pronunciation of them forced me to on this album.

"We were chasing the drag-aaawn!!!"

I was going to snag that Goodbye Thrill album a few weeks ago. Their other album is available there, too, if you don't have it.

Today:

Varga - Enter The Metal

Well, the video is good.

I found a 12" single of Arc Angel - Tragedy/Stars at Goodwill for a dollar!

A forum loaded with thrash fans, and no one likes this song? Doesn't make sense to me.

I'm not into thrash much at all but that sounds more like "prog thrash" which brings in another genre element I'm not very fond of. But I am into Gamera so like I said, I enjoyed the video.

Surely you aren't referring to Varga.

There is definitely some prog influence on the new Varga album.
