Hello my friends! And also detractors and possibly enemies! How are you? I recently did a number of things that I’d never done before (home repair and maintenance stuff) and, while a few of the tasks were a struggle at first, I found them settle into a comfortable groove and and was able to not just get the job done, but now I’m kind of hankering to do more of it. Unfortunately, the thing about plasterboard walls, for instance, is that you shouldn’t just up replace panels because you’re bored or want more practice. The same can be said for bathroom tile, laminate flooring, etc.
The best exception to the rule? Paint! You can change the look of a room in a comparable hot minute with just a handful of tools, a gallon or two of pigmented latex and the time and willingness to do the job. I’ve been painting for years, but these latest projects have me trying out new techniques and trying to get more creative with borders and alternating panels and the like. It’s in the details that the difficulty comes in, like when you get it into your head that the walls of your finished basement should bear some … well, I’ll show you when it’s done, which could be a while.
But the point! It’s the weekend. It’s usually a great time for DIY projects, but forget all that. Let’s have fun instead. You, you can decide on what’s fun for you, but I hope it includes playing the Fun (which I haven’t even gotten to yet!) and giving some of the items below a crank. You owe it to yourself!
He’s a DIYer Now?
For real, pour one out for one of the guitar kami, Fujioka Mikio:
The “Little” Guitar Kami of #BABYMETAL ‘s #Kamiband has passed away in the METAL GALAXIES. We hope that he is now with his GUITAR MASTER A.Holdsworth and enjoying an epic guitar session with him.

Synth de La Eve put out the full version of that MV:
Chitti’s old group, Tsuyogari Sensation, is still at it:
Did you know that xoxo EXTREME is on Bandcamp? I didn’t!
This wasn’t what I thought it was going to be:

This is what being a WACK fan does to your brain:
I just thought, isn’t Pour Lui’s grad taking place the same show the swap-back ceremony is supposed to happen?
And its around the same time as the end of the WACK audition too, right?
This must be building up to something pic.twitter.com/mWn6LHocic

@homicidols Thoughts? Remember that “BILLIE IDOL” event right. Lui never stated “retirement” from Idol but “graduation from BiS”. Saki & Aya trade is over around the same time. Aya proved leadership in GP. Pan Luna assumes lead in BiS. Lui/Saki join BI. BI renames to BILLIE IDOL.

Here’s some additional SHiX live video:
This story is weird, but take note of all of the details, accurate and in-:

Dubstep idol, sure:
In the event that we haven’t yet discussed these solo vocal performances by the wonderful former penguin idol known as Cococo:

This is some really solid idorock:
Have a great weekend!
Again, Crust with Strings is one of the best follows in the blogosphere
Dreamcatcher is still doing their thing: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ne6ZyzOAaig
K-pop boy group Infinite also decided to hire Dreamcatchers usual music producers to make a track for them, you can really hear it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IPWHGooBlcM
Still nothing that excites me but i hope more and more and more groups start jumping on the bandwagon, we might get something cool down the line.
Hey, I enjoyed that! Reminds of STARMARIE or some of the stuff that Efloat might do. Come on, Korea! And come on, Japanese boy bands!
Cococo may have gone blonde since you posted that!
Also, in more important hair news, Lingling’s 15 minutes of dreads has come to an end. I love my problematic fave.
I have also been informed that Cococo is now KONN, which sure. If she keeps up that sultry singing and posting weird hengao, she can call herself whatever she wants.
