A low rumble emerged from the forest. A lumbering, two-headed beast parted the trees. It bellowed a terrifying roar from the maw of its left head. The townspeople began to flee but, almost as quickly as it had emerged, the mouth of the monster's right head began to coo a sweet melody. The people became entranced, staring rapt into the gaping jaws of the behemoth with ecstatic expressions on their lips and in their eyes. Even as the jaws of the right head tore into their flesh, consuming them one by one, they only had smiles for their impending deaths. Meanwhile, the left head continued to convey the animal's bloody desires by shrieking triumphantly into the air with a primal abandon. Themselves unsure whether they were running away from the terrifying left head or toward the welcoming right head, some of them even danced directly into the bloody jaws of the thing. Soon no one remained to hear either the melody of the right mouth or the roar of the left mouth and sated, the beast lay down and commenced it's thousand-year hibernation.

Round 1 – Night 1 (96.7 iROCK Summer Showdown Battle of the Bands 2009)
“The WeakEND”
It was a great night for all of those who showed up to support the local music scene and iRock.
It has been so long since being out or being a part of an event that it was shocking for me to see how so many people could really care less nowadays. It is pretty apparent this will NOT be our last show played in the Bloomington-Normal area come July 25th. I mean, why should we take the time to care about a scene that doesn’t care about itself, a scene that use to pride it-self on many things, that of which it is.
Maybe there is a time for all bands to ask, is it time to move on from those who it thought once cared?
I’m greatly disappointed and upset right now in not only many of whom I believe to be close friends, but in those who lead me to believe they actually cared about local music.
Times change and it is clear they have done so as I’m the one speaking out now.
If by the way it takes only one person to say something I guess that person will be me as it really has been this way my entire life now that the picture draws clearer. So if this entry turns a head or makes a dime so be it, you can have it, I’ve moved on a long time ago, and evidently so have you.
So maybe we’ll see you out at the shows, I will count on it. Support your scene to The End.
Peace. Jason – Land of Lincoln
