I’m reading more and more articles about the new “JYJ” and their contract adventures. I’ve never really been a fan of this group, or I should rather say, the group they were but I’ve got a few music videos. I knew 3 members at some point sued SM Entertainment for ‘the lengthyness/ exclusiveness/ terms/ payment’ of their contracts. So it appears they then signed with another Korean company C-JeS and for the Japanese activities at the same time with Avex? From what I can puzzle back together the trio then complained at Avex when Avex wanted to change some “small details”. Magically Avex decided to pull out dirty laundry on the C-JeS CEO around September last year, declaring their contract with JYJ invalid. “Alleged Gang connections”. While it appears that CEO indeed has a criminal record, denial on the allegation. They say Avex knew about the C-JeS CEO having a criminal record before signing with them. Meanwhile Avex is doing the “we’re innocent” dance*** and the music chart in Japan, namely Oricon, are pulling the latest release from their charts due to Avex’ “condition of distribution”.

Metal that stole my sense of humour
I just found out one of my favorite bands has another album out! Yay! It’s called “Glorious Collision” by Evergrey. I must have seen these guys live half a dozen times by now. Even though the band has switched some of it’s members I’ve always said that if Tom Englund still does vocals I’m always checking out what they’re doing next. So Mikkel, my other favorite vocalist, still being a daddy or want to start screaming your lungs out next to your new born? lol. No hurry, grandpa.
Glorious Collision:
However, who exactly wrote this piece of text above the “Wrong” video on the Evergrey homepage?
“This is the video for our song Wrong. Once again Patric Ullaeus and the Revolver.se film-crew made 5 stupid guys from Sweden look like a million dollars, well maybe not like a million but for sure better than the 20-dollar hookers we normally look like. The song will give all dark, tough and depressed people a soundtrack and most certainly a legit reason to cry your hearts out. If crying is not you thing, see if you´re man enough to match that guitar-solo. Or – you can just enjoy the vid and the damn song!”‘
That sicko stole my sense of humour. Give it back! Maa~ even if it’s not usually your thing. Check Evergrey out. My mom even likes ‘em. That makes you a bloody pansy if you can’t stand it.
