History
One day, a kid, uberly pissed off at St. Anger and shitty American music, went to college and joined a radio station. His goal was to kill MTV because it sucked... which is kinda ironic that he met his partner in crime (Mr. Station Manager Andrew Wieler) while singing high praise to Sifl and Olly. They did 2 radio shows together for 2 years, The Temple of Sephiroth and Bad Transitions. About half way through TToS, the young lad took a trip to Pittsburgh where he was showed a video of a band that consisted of 3 killer lookin' fellows and one incredibly hot chick (mrhrmrmhrmrm). The Song was Beast of Blood. The Band Was Malice Mizer. And that was the begining of what was to come. Towards the end of spring semester 2005, after much careful deliberation with Mr. Station Manager Andrew Wieler, Crazy Limbs Nick Beirizonski, and Bad Transitions No. 1 Fan (Cuddly Luberjack Pringles Can Craig Carestia) the young Wapanese (Think wigger, only Japanese) boy started his own show.
Tainted Reality
Every since, the show has been dedicated to promoting J-Rock and Goth to the masses, as well as giving its fanbase what ever it wants. Requests of all kinds, whether it be for music, shout outs, or even for dances on the webcam have all been honored. Tainted Reality is a show 100% dedicated to its fanbase and entertaining and informing them in every way possible. Tainted Reality has also begun tour organizing and organized its first tour in the summer of 2006; the highly successful LES FLEURS DU MAL tour featuring BLOOD. Because of the success of LES FLEURS DUL MAL, TR is determined to bring more J-Rock artists to the United States! The show also specializes in interviews and has featured BLOOD, Coaltar of the Deepers, Josephine Yun, Nana Kitade, Richard Cox, seek and Aya (ex Isabelle and Psycho le Cemu), Mitsukazu Mihara, Suicide Ali, MUCC, D'espairs Ray, Dir en grey, and Yoshiki all within its first year on air.
Why the choice of "Our Truth" for Lacuna Coil? Listen, I like Karmacode as much as anyone else, but is that the best LC album? Mmmmm... I'm not sure... I'd rather have seen something like "To Live Is To Hide" or maybe "My Wings," or if they were looking for more popular material, pretty much any song from Comalies... but hey, I didn't pick the songs - hell, I'd like to see "Sugar" from SOAD, now THAT would be fun to play :D
