Nirvana, Stone Temple Pilots, Sammy Hagar, The Nymphettes, Sub-Pop (Culture), Jimmy (Page), Gatsby's American Dream, Primus, System of A Down, Deftones, The Mars Volta, Sparta, Word Golf, Pallous, the Hydeggers, Mechanism, Alkaline Trio, H., V.H., Live, Busta Rhymes, Pearl Jam, Incubus, Taproot, Glassjaw, bell hooks.Comparable to Deftones; sit complacently between Incubus and Brand New. We could be friends with Mars Volta - though they would probably laugh at our comparable lack of beauty. And I DO mean aesthetic. And I DO mean physical. And I DO mean that we are not "good-looking". Rather, we ascribe to that which is beautiful beyond physical appearance. Like the ability to tie one's shoes.

blog post VIA Vital Organ Drive!

Current mood: dirty
In my research for this newsletter I learned that a pig's orgasm lasts up to 30 minutes. I guess I didn't really learn anything during my research. I did no research. I'm not even sure if I made that thing about pigs up. But wouldn't it be interesting AND highly irrelevant to Vices I Admire if it were? I did come up with this pickup line, though. "Hey baby. If you come home with me I'll make you feel like a pig getting nasty!" It's still in the works.

We are still pushing the Battle of the Bands to get on Warped Tour, but it isn't over yet! You can keep voting for us every day! All details for this are at http://www.vicesiadmire.com/ or http://www.myspace.com/vicesiadmire.

Do you ever want to give us money but don't want to give us YOUR money? Well we've got just the thing for you. The crew over at Ourstage.com has been absolutely amazing to us over the past year, and it all started because you guys helped us win last July's grand prize of $5,000. They've already helped us in so many ways and now they're doing it again with a special promotion just for us!

It's really simple...if you haven't already signed up for Ourstage.com, follow the link below and sign up, and they'll give us $1. It doesn't cost you a thing (and only takes about 30 seconds), and you'll get 12 free MP3s, help us pay for our upcoming album, and be part of what is hands-down the coolest independent music site on the Web. And if you've got your own music or videos, start uploading and win yourself $5,000!

If you want to help out even more, get your friends to sign up as well! We'd really appreciate it if you could plaster this link all over the Internet:

If you want to help us EVEN more than that, check this out! We are currently having a vital organ drive! If we come up with 12 spleens, 50 quarts of blood and a few buckets of stem cells we will probably get enough money to pay off our gambling debts!
