[download] Metal-Ikka "Tribute to Metallica" and holy shit!

[beck]

Hmmm...I guess I'll go with the holy shit first before the music.

I got a job today and start tomorrow morning. I had an appt/interview this morning for a warehouse in Irving that is affiliated with Amazon.com. I guess we pull the orders and ship them out, I won't know for sure what all I'll be doing till I get there. As much as I'm happy to have income coming in, I'm still kinda scared on this kind of work. Knowing that ppl aren't spending as much as they use to, I'm wondering how that's going to affect my work load but apparently they were that hard up for employees that they were hiring right on the spot. And now all I need to do is find a part-time job on my days off and during the evenings once I get off work.

ETA: I work Wed-Sat 7:30am-6pm; overtime highly likely to happen.

I was able to pay my car off with what I had left of my severance pay from my other job so that's one hefty bill I don't have to worry about. And if I can get a pt job, I can start using the extra money to pay my bike off and start saving more.

It took 3 weeks to get something but at least it's something for now. AND I still get at least one paycheck from unemployment from the day that I filed till this week.

Now to the music download:

Looking back on my posts, I guess I never mentioned it except at beat_crusaders. Anyways, a bunch of Japanese bands got together and did a tribute album to Metallica just like what they did for AC/DC. It was great timing on the release date since it came out when I was in Japan but what sucked was that I wasn't able to listen to the cd till I got back to the US but at least HMV had the cd in their player system to where you could listen to it. Which I did and had to kinda giggle at Beat Crusaders version of "One" but once I was able to listen to it more at home, it's still a fucking awesome remake.

I am SOOOOOOOO IMPRESSED with this album!!!! It's just as hard and heavy as Metallica. It may take a bit to get used to Beat Crusaders version of "One" but you get used to it after awhile. It's kinda upbeat/pop'ish than the original. Katou (lead guitar player) does the main singing and Hidaka's bg vocals is perfect on all the right parts. In fact, even though it is a bit pop'ish in some parts, Hidaka's vocals still give it that hard/dark edge like the original. And to be honest, it doesn't make the song as creepy as it use to freak me out when One first came out (I was around 11). The song and the vid for it creeped me out till I got used to it.

So enjoy it if you give it a chance and feel free to let me know what you think.

Oh that is great news, Beck!! I'm so glad you found a job. If any of my amazon.com orders are late, I'm gonna hold you personally accountable. *lol*

I'm downloading the Metallica tribute album. I love that band and am curious to how well the other groups do. Thanks for sharing. :)

I know they have different warehouses in other states so I'm curious how they determine which places gets what orders. This is only a seasonal job so I have a feeling by the new yr, I'll be jobless again. Though I do look for jobs on my days off but still no bite.

I hope you like that album as much as I do. I like the different twists on some of the songs.

And while I think of it, EMAIL ME YOUR MAILING ADDRESS PLEASE!!!! I need it like ASAP cause I packed up my address book so I don't have it handy.

Congrats on the job! Everything I've read indicates that, although overall spending will be down, online holiday spending is still expected to increase exponentially over last year so you should at least be ok through Christmas. (Small comfort, I know.) *hugs*

Glad to hear the awesome news! Congrats on the job!!

Re: the d/l - Would you mind if I forwarded the link to a coworker? She's a huge Metallica fan.

Yeah, I'm curious to see how much my ass is going to be dragging at the end of a day. We'll be working 10hr days for 4 days a week. A guy who worked for them last yr came in again this yr and said they were so busy during the holidays that they were working almost 7days a week straight. In a way I hope that doesn't happen cause that's pretty crazy.

Sure, feel free to give the link to your co-worker, the more who knows about it/listens to it, the merrier. It's the only way ppl outside of Japan are going to know about it since they sure as hell don't pimp it out outside of their country.

Oh my, that *is* crazy. Your userpic says it all. Hopefully it doesn't turn out that bad though...

Thanks for the permission!

(Speaking of your userpic, I think I need that image for my cubicle @work.)

Congrats on the job! I bet they really need people more for the Christmas season. Plus Amazon is a pretty stable little business. I know I buy stuff from there at least twice a month. Good for you!

CONGRATS!!!!

And even though people are spending less, Christmas is still around the corner and there are things people want so.... don't worry for it can add not one second to your life. Instead... rejoice and be happy that you have work!!

YAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!

Go YOU!!!
*HUGS*
