Out on a Lim - Opinions

Out on a Lim - Opinions
Our first media coverage! Check it out!
Something eerie happened to me during the first few days of school. It was night and most appliances in my room were turned off, but I kept hearing really low strains of music. I attributed it to sensitive ears and somebody else's music. But it happened again, and determined that I was not losing my mind, finally found the source of the music. My speakers, which were hooked up to my computer, seemed to get the airwaves of WRMC so I could hear 91.1 FM whether I was actually tuned in or not, even if my computer was off as well. Because of this strange phenomenon, I now hear WRMC at nearly all times. Even with my own music on, I can hear echoes of another song in the background. Although avoidable if I cut the power to the speakers, this auditory invasion had become a minor source of frustration.

However, a couple of days ago, while attempting to do my homework, I heard two DJs talking about their show and introducing the songs. Their music of choice was metal, which is practically a galaxy away from the orbit of my musical taste. But their theme for the night was covers, so I heard metal bands playing songs anywhere from Phantom of the Opera to ABBA. It was surprisingly good and refreshing, and got me thinking about where and when I had developed this aversion to metal. I had no idea. It wasn't that I had an unpleasant experience with that genre per se, but that I enjoyed other types of music so much to the point where I had stopped exploring and appreciating.
YeeahhhH! He goes on to talk about economic theory and why people make sub-optimal choices. Hopefully, if you've found this site, you're already on your way to singularity (optimal choice) of music. \m/

New Kamelot Video

FYI: Melting Point is on break for another semester, with the possibility of several select episodes being produced exclusively for podcast.

Kamelot released a video for their new album today. Both the video and the song, suck.
