Ladies and Gentlemen, we have a winner!

Despite Guns N Roses having a much more well-known cover of "Sympathy" and an unknown but very worthy cover by alt/indie bands Band of Skulls and John and Jehn that you should listen to if you get the chance, I decided to pair another virtually unknown version by Horacio Hernandez to a cover by Jane's Addiction.

Happy New Year! Let's start 2015 with a little sympathy.

Now that 2014 is behind me, I'm ready to get started on new ideas, new projects (um....and continue finishing old ones), and new goals. At one point last year I was considering whether to start over, or just drive the brand I've already put a lot of time and effort into. Obviously I Have chosen to continue with the This Belle Rocks brand this year, and try to steer that in a few different directions, all of which I am equally passionate about. Another goal for the blog? To try to post something, no matter how big, small, or frivolous, as long as it is relevant to my interests, every day. And hopefully, that will eventually attract others with similar interests. But I will never connect with others if I don't put something out there to begin with, right?

And on that note, here I am posting on a day where I normally scratch my head and wonder what I could possibly post about. But not just any post - this is my first Battle of the Bands of 2015, and I am SO excited!
