New update that sort of, uh, came to me. Basically, I bought a weird edgy CD used for a dollar figuring I could assess it, it turned out to contain a super cute 2000s HTML interface complete with authentic edgy banner ads, and I decided to reupload it (technically to Nekoweb, but the landing page is here) for y'all's enjoyment and historical preservation. https://draggianuniverse.neocities.org/musicscene/lollipopmp3

Re: other "exclusive" FIR stuff that needs to be reported on -- supposedly, 2 unreleased songs "shipped" with the unhappy meal boxes, which have now arrived. I assume one of them is identical to the monthly Patreon song, but I can't find the other. If you have it, or know how to find it, please let me know!

I know that the FIR stuff is not what you generally follow me for, but would you be interested in a "state of FIR" news column succintly and without gushing summarizing recent relevant band happenings as I hear about them? Do you think that would be useful to somebody? I get a lot of information and it's kind of just been going on the thoughts.page, and I'm not sure if that's really the best place for it.

I promise that I will do the OC updates I've been promising for months in October. That's gonna be my Art-tober theme. But look, hyperfixations don't go away and to maintain my sanity, I've pivoted the fixation to destroying everything Mr. Radke holds dear so...(well, just him. What he holds dear is Max and Taco Bell, and I like those.)

Recs for bands that are like FIR but not slime are their own page. Also, I wrote a brief history of my music taste in texts with my mom and thought it was interesting enough to post. I promise I'll do more OC stuff in October. Planning to make myself an Inktober-type thing to get some freaking pages up.

I'm considering spinning off the list of "if you like Falling In Reverse's style, here are some bands that do that but better" list from the FIR Disclaimer page into its own list, since it's getting somewhat long. It's also distinct from the Music Scene Spreadsheet, because that's my personal opinions whereas the alternatives list is in theory objective, in that it just lists "here are bands that do FIR-like stuff".

Anyway, I Prevail good. They're kind of genre-standard on Heart V. Mind and Lifelines, but really come into their own with Trauma and True Power, and hit the nail on the head in terms of "the vibes Popular Monster (2019) and Watch The World Burn wished they had".

New RRverse fanfic. If you like 2024!Ronnie being absolutely played for a chump, Dying Is Your Latest Fashion, Shuppet possessing old FIR T-shirts, or some mild amount of bodily fluid humor, inquire therein. https://draggianuniverse.neocities.org/fanfic/diylf20

I promised you that I'd upload the pictures from I Can Explain's photo section when I wrote my summary back in February. I never actually did that. So I have now. Want some pictures of Ronnie to make fun of? You can use them wherever. https://draggianuniverse.neocities.org/musicscene/icanexplain/inserts
even if only some of them are genres I'm into / bands I'm comfortable assessing in 2024, over 100 tracks for a dollar is an incredible deal. were I sapient and into edgy music in 2004 and one of these came with every issue of the magazine, I'd definitely subscribe.
