Nine Inch Nails has been one of my favorite bands for around 2 years now. Trent Reznor (the bands’ founding member) is one of my musical idols, and I admire him greatly. Around half a year ago(?) Nine Inch Nails left their record label, Interscope(a subsidiary of Universal), and decided to release their music independently. They pretty much said that they were sick of the corporate monster ripping off NIN fans. For a long time, Trent has been a opponent of intellectual property laws such as the DMCA and has often encouraged the sharing of Nine Inch Nails’ music on the internet. For example, during the holiday season of 2006, he leaked the NIN live dvd Closure through The Pirate Bay, and posted on his blog “Happy Holidays! This one is a guilt-free download.

Otaku.fm

Forgot to say a couple of days ago, in case you didn’t notice the banner at the bottom of the page, the illustrious Danny Choo has registered me at otaku.fm. This is good for me because I hope to increase my readership a bit, and otaku.fm has a lot of readers. For those who don’t know, otaku.fm is a blog feed aggregator for otaku related content. It is very helpful when one is looking for something to read, or the latest breaking news. Well… thanks, Danny! This is a really good opportunity for small-bloggers(I guess I can finally call myself one now) such as myself to expand, and reach a greater audience. The future is looking good.

So there IS a god!

Just read a few minutes ago of the announcement of a Lucky Star OVA. Apparently, it was announced in a flyer put out by Gamers advertising the contents of the June issue of Comptiq. Let me say this very clearly;

I AM SO HAPPY I COULD DIE.

The announcement of an OVA of Lucky Star, being one of my favorite series of all time, makes me extremely happy, since who knows? Is a second season on the way? It may be a stretch, but this could be a prelude to Lucky Star 2. It’s not that I don’t like Haruhi(I love Haruhi), but I would rather see a LS2 than a Haruhi 2. But that’s just me. Long live Lucky Star!

Edit: grabbed the image off of moetron. as my about page says, if anyone takes offense to me posting an image off of their site, or something similar, just email me and we’ll resolve the problem.
