In the next two or three years someone is going to label SOMETHING "Dreamo"

Melissa has flirted with the idea of forming a "harp punk" band with me. I dig that.

I had this idea for the student paper I write for, where there would be three column sidebar of random words you could connect to create new music genre names. Column A was a nationality/geographic region, Column B was a prefix like Post, Death, Ambient, or Straight Edge, and then Column C was the key genre name. Adding "core" to the end was optional. So you could come up with things like "Czech Death Folk" or "New Zealand Ambient Metalcore." I was pretty much the only person amused by it.

ISD: Intelligent Square Dance. The moves are called out in Latin anagrams. If you're not so quick, you'll be lost on the dance floor, but then it's not really for dancing, is it?

The last time I tried this my best friend and I invented "Hatebread," a project devoted to wiping yeast off the face of the Earth. When we called our music "annihilation metal," thinking that we were really over the top, someone else told me that that was an actual genre.

I really wanted to be the first person to invent annihilation metal, so that sucked.

There's also a band called Hatebreed, I think.

I'm actually trying to "Jewgaze" right now and it doesn't seem half bad: slow, reverb-drenched, almost drumless noodling along the klezmer scales, with dubby bass and delayed shofar drones.
