That's right! Linkin Park has announced new album, along with the album art. If you know a thing or two about LP, you would know that they come out with better and better songs, throughout the years that they been together. Linkin Park, a rapcore band, released a song called 'Guilty All The Same' on March 5th. Three days ago, the fans found out that SOAD's axeman, Daron Malakian, will be featured on the album. Just yesterday, they released the album art.
This is something to look forward to. Linkin Park is an amazing band and they're always becoming better than what they were. Each album from the past has been topping each other. Most of the fans are oozing with excitement of the new album. The album is untitled still, as well as the release date is still unknown. I'll keep updating the story, as we find more information on the soon-to-be next best album of the year. Baibaibai.

Punk Goes 90s Volume 2 Review
If anyone is excited for the Punk Goes 90s Volume 2 it's me. I love old school music. Fearless Records is definitely my favorite record label, especially the fact my favorite band is signed onto there. The track listing is eye catching, along with the retro styled cover. I have listened to some of the songs so far. My favorite is definitely Motionless In White's cover of Du Hast originally performed by Rammstein. My second favorite is The Color Morale's Everlong originally by Foo Fighters.
Although I am still very skeptical on the cover of Nirvana's Heart Shaped Box, Nirvana is one of those few bands who no one can cover it correctly. It seems to me, in my opinion, that Winking Owl seemed to have butchered Nirvana. I am one of those fans that seem it is IMPOSSIBLE to do a perfect Kurt Cobain cover by anyone. It wouldn't have mattered if Motionless in White (My all time favorite band) would've covered them. It will not be better than anyone who tries.
Despite that one issue I have with the album, the album is a great new look on those classics that your Mom and Dad seemed to listen to back in the old days. I highly recommend to purchase this album, who has an 'old soul'. Perhaps the next time Fearless Records decides to do Punk Goes 90s again, they might do ACDC or some other band that's been there for awhile. I give the album a four in half stars out of five stars. I've listed the teaser track list below, for those who are interested in it.
Thanks for reading. Baibaibai.

Jeffree Star Cosmetics
If you know me, you'll know I love Jeffree Star. I'm sure you all know about his exciting upcoming Cosmetic line. If you don't, let me give you the jest. Jeffree Star, internet Diva, is a man, who has a taste of the different life. Jeffree dresses differently than a 'man' (you're idea of a man, may be different than mine). Anyways, he is a singer, make up artist, and fashion designer.
Since he does his make up so well, Jeffree as decided to come out with a Cosmetic line. I am especially excited, since I enjoy doing my and others make up. I've already signed up for emails, when the cosmetic line does come out. Jeffree has also made a couple of Vines of sneak peeks, such as: liquid to matte lipstick, shades of lipstick, etc. I'll leave a link for you to sign up, if you're interested.
The picture I have attached is his actual daily makeup. I will argue that he does better make up than any of the girls at my school. His eyebrows and eyeliner are on point, in my opinion. Also, Mr. Star's Tumblr account (listed in the links below) gives out beauty tips. I use these tips to finally obtain my spot on eyeshadow make up.
Another and final thing I love about Mr. Star is that he honestly does not care what 'haters' think or say about him. He does what he wants, if you don't like it oh well. Jeffree is a role model for me, for I want to be a Cosmetologist. Well, that's all I have to say today. Have a rocking day. Baibaibai!
"Do whatever the fuck you want because you only live once and if I die tomorrow, I wanna die happy. I don't wanna wish I did something, I do it every day. I'm me and no one is gonna tell me I shouldn't do this or that…and this goes for everyone. It doesn't matter if your family or friends don't truly understand you. You have to be happy. Because, who else matters in the end?"

The Rules Of Mosh Pits
Along with my last post of Warped Tour Survival Guide, I slightly forget to do a rule of Moshing. If you've been to any rock concert, you would know that there will be Mosh Pits. Mosh Pits are all fun and games, until someone gets hurt. Last year, Mosh Pits were not allowed, since a twelve year old girl was hurt. Small rant: This twelve year girl was an idiot. I'm sorry, but you're twelve. You shouldn't be at Warped Tour, without an adult. This girl was in the Mosh Pit, knowing you will/might get hurt. After she was hurt, she told her parents, and they attempted to sue Oliver Sykes. Bitch. Stop. Just stop. You need to be at least fourteen to fifteen before getting into a Mosh Pit. I was fourteen when I went and I stayed out of the Mosh Pit, until Bring Me The Horizon played. I knew exactly what to do; therefore, I was not hurt. So, here comes the rules:
- Watch out for those who fall. If someone falls, help them up. You could actually prevent someone to go to the first aid tent. No one wants another incident, dealing with annoying parents and such. You must always help a fellow mosher, who fell in the pit.
- Coping a feel. Do not even try it. It's wrong on all levels. Do not touch a female mosher's body parts. You'll cause more trouble on yourself. The female might beat the shit out of you. I know I would
- Hitting. Do not under ANY circumstances hit another mosher. You could start a major fight, which will result pissing off the band. I remember last year, someone hit another person in the Mosh pit and the guy fell. No one noticed he fell and was injured badly. Oliver Sykes was fairly angry, telling the people around the guy to back up and help him up. So, in other words, hit someone and you'll cause a bigger problem.
- Pulling out. If you're in a violent/hard mosh pit and you see someone unsuccessfully trying to get out, help them pull out. You will be appreciated by your actions.
- Finally, the circle. If you noticed someone is hurt and on the ground, get the surrounding people to make a circle around and make sure the fallen is off the ground. Even help them to get off the ground.

Warped Tour Survival Guide101
It's almost that wonderful time of the year again. Warped Tour 2014 is about to kick off, as always there will be Warped Tour Virgins. For those of you who don't know what a 'Warped Tour Virgin' is, a 'Warped Virgin' is a term used for the new kids who haven't experienced Warped before. Last year was my first time and I went with a few friends, who were also Warped Virgins. This was a big mistake, since I made a lot of mistakes that could've been prevented. I will be going once again to the Orlando, Florida venue. I'm hoping this little guide will help ANY new concert-goers.
The first thing that you should do before Warped Season has begun is to save your money. The concert tickets range of prices, depending on when you buy the ticket. There will be Merch Tents, which is why you need to save your money. The merch is about the same price as Hot Topic, except no tax obviously. Although some may argue that it is about five to ten dollars more expensive. I would recommend one hundred to two hundred. I understand that it could be a lot to carry, but I do not remember them taking debt or check.
I highly recommend to pack before the night you go. It will be easy to just get up and go, instead of packing in a rush. Here's something that you need to pack: sunscreen, water bottle(s), money, lip balm, a bag obviously, vans shoes (why go there and NOT where the shoes?) and local map of the venue.
Another thing that you should do is find out where the First Aid and Water stations are. Last year, I almost passed out from dehydration because I didn't know where the water stations were. I spent over thirty dollars on separate water bottles. Luckily, I was not injured at all. I saved myself a trip from the First Aid station.
This is for females: DO NOT wear heavy makeup. You're going to sweat it out. You're not there to impress anyone. It's a concert, not a formal dinner. Chill. A bit of eyeliner is fine. Also, just wear a pair of shorts and a tank top. If you wear jeans, you'll die. The end. Lastly, wear a band shirt of a band that's going to Warped. You'll look pretty stupid wearing a band that isn't on the tour.
I really hope this helps out any rookies. Just have fun and chill out. It's just about fun and seeing your favorite band. Have a rocking day ^-^ Baibai.
