I’m turning over a new leaf today. I think I got most of the hate out of my system
I guess I’ve been kind of a monster lately. I’m going to do some shout outs. Pop music has pretty much hijacked our scene but one day it will move on to the next trend and we can have our scene back. Here are some bands that I think will be kicking ass when judgment day comes. These are all bands that have either sent me messages asking me to check them out, I’ve stumbled across...

Easter/Be Cool/Vans
We had an awesome Easter yesterday. It’s totally a bummer being away from home on a holiday but Ian from New Found Glory and his wife were nice enough to have us over and we got a nice home cooked family meal anyway.

I don’t really have a very commen name. Raneri that is. Anthony is pretty commen. Sometimes people with the same last name will message me on myspace or facebook but they always live in Italy. Ever since I was a kid I wondered if it’s weird for people who have more commen names to meet people with the same names or see characters in movies with the same name as them. Like, if your last...
