First things first–if you’re in Second Life, I highly recommend you avoid any land rentals from:
Xael Aeon
Rainbow Estate Land Sales
Communal Waters

AFI - Sing the Sorrow, A.F.I. (the compilation from Nitro), 1 song from All Hallows, The Art of Drowning, /and/ most of Decemberunderground.
Shiny Toy Guns - We are […]

My highly-limited (and largely partial and/or off-beat, often simply grinding to a halt while tab is consulted) repertoire (and for those not interested, skip straight to a review of 300):
Smoke on the water
Boys don’t cry (cure)
Wish you were here (pink floyd)

blue skies (pink floyd)
trust (cure)
a forest (cure) ok so it’s just a bass […]

1 First we name Alta, bourne up by the sea
2 islands splayed wide, hard shores clouded over
3 fat river tumbles between stone and tree,
4 meadow in sunlight, burst full with clover
5 Smooth-sail the line of deep marble stone
6 steep and impassable terror-filled nook
7 The island its center, welcoming home
8 travellers who sing a safe passage […]
