kaos = now and forever

Friday, July 22nd, 2005

Let’s put it on rewind for a second. Kaos’ Hello Stranger came out pre-bigstereo. So even though it’s one of my favorite albums of 2005, it hasn’t been in the front of my mind… as far as this site goes that is.

Hey Hey Girl

Thursday, July 14th, 2005

Not so long ago, I was writing about how much I loved the Blood Arm. And then I placed them on the back burner and kind of forgot about them. Other bands came into focus faster.
