Yo - in the name Drakz, is the Z in place of an S or nah? I always wonder what the best way to his name in a possessive form - would it be Drakz' or Drakz's? I guess Drakz's? But honestly I've no idea lol. The "kz" is actually in place of an X. There's a power station near my Dad's house called Drax Power Station. Truth. I was a lot happier before I knew the guy responsible for the Gorillaz was also responsible for about. A LOT happier. Responsible for about? Do you mean Blur? F*ck Damon Albarn. Wow - holy auto correct. Yes. That guy. I don't care if he wants to hide behind an animated monkey thing, but FACK the Blur, bubba. |

As are Pulp, Oasis and any of the rest of the shower of sh*t that falls under the umbrella "Brit Pop".

I can tolerate Oasis big record there for a cuppa, but generally, yes - you guys churn out some pretentious drivel, and the only thing worse might be the American groups who try to emulate it.

Anytime I reference a "high school" era song, I probably mean middle school. |

Glad to know I'm not the only one who has a character name people don't know how to pronounce.

I really dig Oasis. While I do think that they're overrated, they are a good band with a good sound. They are no where near the Beatles, not anywhere close to Jesus either.
The Killers are pretty good too.
I just enjoy the alternative rock sound.
No idea where I got Dex from. I think I was just alone one night and changed a letter lol.

I should have known my erratic listening tastes this week were a sign of a dive into the void. Happens every f*cking time (even if Bat Out of Hell is one of my all time favorite albums). I couldn't settle on a damn thing today, then Elliott Smith came on and it was like a light switched on (or off, in the case of ol' Elliott's approach).
Not that namby pamby Miss Misery sh*t either - we're talking full on, "Basement on a Hill', steak knife in the chest Elliott Smith.
It's gonna be a fun winter.

I just hope your next character doesn't have a name that always gets auto-corrected to something else. It drives me crazy having to proof read my stuff to change Samuel and Drake back the correct versions of Samael and Drakz. I should be careful what I ask for though because you might go for something sure to cause us all monster headaches like Asmodeus Aristotle Mephistopheles the Third. |

If Shawn's coming up with it, you can take the Vegas odds on a handful of obnoxiously placed vowels.

Nothing convoluted. |

I'd imagine Samael to be kinda universal. |

Ahriman is an Anglican Death Monster. So Judaism and Anglican Christianity. Close enough. |

I knew both names because a good friend of mine who I lived with for a bit is a Wiccan. You've never tripped more balls than when you're stoned and walk into a room full off Wiccans doing some weird ass ritual.
