transition out of the 'Bulls On Parade' intro was a little slippy;... so was the fill right before the verse riff... idk: it's pretty damn great that they're doing this, but it's the instructor/conductor's job to crack some more skulls when it comes to rhythm.

That Killing In The Name Of cover is absolutely epic, but I really can't stand 2CELLOS what with that Smooth Criminal cover and now this. Sure they have great chops but as a string player I think they're as cheesy and soulless as Vanessa Mae.

This seems the perfect place to post a few of my favorite Rasputina covers...

Wish You Were Here
Bad Moon Rising
Barracuda

And finally, a non-cover Gingerbread Coffin

Lordy lord. My daughter will be going to George Mason this year. Had I known.....(kidding). Nice place, it seems, and from what I can see very well run and organized. Growing like Topsy, if you know who that is.

The girl in red from the George Mason video? I want to hang with her. Absolutely fierce.

I have a strong aversion to Rage Against The Machine Yer Mom, but that high school band's cover was... um, how you say...? Awesome.

Ah. Hmm... not quite as much fun then. Still good, though.
