Ok, so I guess I kinda suck at this updating/writing everyday thing. It started off as such a good idea. And with school starting I'm not sure how well I'll do then either. But let's go...

So I have an interesting story about how I got into Bleeding Through. I started hearing about them from people on my friends list talking about them and Eighteen Visions, Avenged Sevenfold, and so on. It was during my first year at K-State too. So I decided to download one of their songs but had no idea which one to pick. I searched for them on my non-iTunes music program. I picked "Love Lost In A Hail of Gunfire", the reason: they misspelled "Hail" to "Hale" and our library is Hale Library. I know, stupid reason but whatever. I listened and didn't like it because I wasn't into screaming music at the time.

But I went on and started reading about Brandan in my fan fiction stories. After a while I looked him up to see what he looked like. It helps to know what people look like when reading about them. Then about a year ago I think, I read a story either called "Line in the Sand" or just based on the song. So I decided to give it a listen to. And it's a slower song where he actually sings and I fell in love with the song. I had started getting into "screamy" songs as long as they had a little bit of singing in them. The more I listened, the better the songs got and the more I liked the band. I've even gotten a couple of DVD's about them.

I mean, I can't listen to their CD straight through or anything. The screaming would get to me. But whatever, I like them as people too and I think that's important. Because if you can't like them as people, how can you like their music. There are some bands where I don't know anything about the people but the ones I do know about, I have to like.

And lastly, I know this is a completely shallow reason to like a band but I think Brandan is very hot. I don't care that he's married either. Not like I would ever meet him and have a chance to date him anyway.

But overall, a very good band with a new CD coming out September 30 that I'm excited to hear.

Ok, so I'm not starting at the top of my list but I was thinking about how to write this one last night when the whole idea came to me so I'm starting with them.

Atreyu.

I haven't been a fan of them for too long but I've known the name for a few years. When I first heard the name I was in a different place musically and didn't really go for their type of music even though I never listened to it. Most of the time I get into bands because they're friends with/associated with other bands I already know and love. I guess this is probably how I got into Atreyu but I don't remember who they were associated with that I knew. It was too long ago to remember.

Probably a couple years or something later I'd started hearing more about them. I decided I should listen to a song by them and give them a chance. So I went to my non-iTunes downloading place and searched for them. I honestly have no idea what song I picked. I just remember playing it and not liking it because of all the screaming.

Then I'd been reading stories involving Alex and then they were going to be on the Taste of Chaos Tour 2008 and I decided I should give them another shot. The Theft was the first song I got and then I moved on to others and liked what I heard. Somewhere along the way the screaming mostly stopped annoying me. If you don't think about it too much and listen to the music you realize how good it really is. I mean, yeah, sometimes I still feel like they're screaming at me but whatever, I still like it.

I guess that's the story of how I found out about Atreyu. I might not be a die-hard-from-the-beginning-mosh-pit-fan but I still like them.

Ok, so I decided to change things up a little here. I don't think anybody has ever been here and read anything but that's ok.

I had an idea last night of something I wanted to do. I wanted to pick a band/artist to write about everyday. Just to write how I found them, why I love their music and whatnot. They always say if you want to write about something, write about something you love. And for me that's music. If I could have my perfect career it would be something where I get to listen to my favorite music all day, every day. Too bad I don't know about that career.

I figured I'd start somewhat at the beginning of my iTunes list and work through with a different letter each day and then repeat. And who knows, maybe someone will actually read it!
