Total geeky fan moment

Okay, so I’m soon to be 37, your average writer living in the suburban South, but sometimes I still feel like I’m either a teenager or in my early 20s. So pardon me while I have a geeky squee moment. I’ve been listening to Lacuna Coil’s Comalies album a lot lately. It’s one of those CDs that I like more every time I listen to it. I bought this CD because I heard “Heaven’s a Lie” on their MySpace site, but “Daylight Dancer”, “Comalies” and “Swamped” have also become favorite songs from this album. (FYI, there was some initial controversy about “Heaven’s a Lie”, but the band explained that it wasn’t a religious reference.)

I’m not familiar with many bands that have two lead singers as Lacuna Coil does. It’s a great mixture of Cristina Scabbia’s female vocals and Andi Ferro’s harder rock male vocals. My opinion of the band is helped by the fact that I’ve heard they are all very nice and meet and greet fans after all their shows. When I hear of a band being snots to fans, that sours my opinion even if I really like their music. Same goes for authors, actors, whatever, so I’m happy LC seems to be such a nice bunch.

So, to the squee moment. Thinking my e-mail would probably end up floating around in outer space somewhere never to be read, I e-mailed Cristina and Andi about how much I was enjoying their music and how I was bummed to miss their Knoxville show (boohoo). Lo and behold, only minutes later Cristina e-mails me back to thank me for the e-mail I’d sent her. That’s classy, folks. Rock on, Lacuna Coil!
