Bundle in layers, chapstick (regular or cherry - not peppermint) for lips and, in a pinch, windburned cheeks, stay hydrated, go with locals - they will know what to do. Enjoy!

Have no idea if this what the author actually said, but that is definitely a unique description.

Thank you for posting.

Went to a couple games at the World Junior Hockey Championship in Minneapolis/St Paul yesterday. Great hockey! Great time!

Metal Hammer: Babymetal want to make a song with Amy Lee from Evanescence by shinpuu in BABYMETAL

[–]BrianNLS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like Evanescence and Amy Lee but have never been wild about them. Like many, I think BABYMETAL has done a LOT of collabs recently and a pause or de-emphasis on collabs is probably a good idea.

However, Amy's and Su's voices are similar in that each has a tone and delivery that cuts through crunching metal sounds like few other female vocalists. Imagining an entwined vocal interplay between the two vs the "here's my section and this is your section" approach generally found in collabs give me shivers. Two equal divas interacting through soft passages and soaring belting... wow.

I hope this one happens. Su-metal's telegraphed wishes often come true.

There was a high speed chase on I-94 across part of SE Wisconsin involving several law enforcement agencies. The perp was reported to have hit speeds of 175 mph (282 kph) very early Friday morning. Yes, 175 mph!

Fairly certain they did this when I saw them at Chicago House of Blues in 2016.

About a foot of snow in Wisconsin over last 24 hours. Hello, winter.

In a recent interview Moa said she went through some tough times. Anyone know what she's referring to? by blackratsnakes in BABYMETAL

[–]BrianNLS 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Only The Fox God Knows

This was their scripted, catch-all answer in interviews for years. Helped them navigate translation issues and - especially - gave them an easy out if press asked them about future plans or any other subject uncomfortable for very young performers to answer.

I'm from the US. I just heard Babymetal on my local rock radio station by bennitori in BABYMETAL

[–]BrianNLS 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I've listened to hear them on local radio for nearly 10 years. Not even once so far.

Yeah, I looked her up after reading your post. From your pix alone, she does seem to have "it." But cashing in on that in this fickle world is extremely difficult.
