Man, I'd just like to reiterate how happy I am that the 'pedia is back. Also, the wrocksnob favourited a tweet of mine and I just wrote a bit of a new song.
If you're after music recs, have a gander at these tearjerkers:

THERE IS NOT A WEAK LINK ON THIS ALBUM.
THAT IS NOT SOMETHING YOU CAN SAY ABOUT MOST COMPILATIONS.
It's incredible to hear how far some of these people have come musically since their humble beginnings. Known to less well known, rap to rock, wizard to muggle, this makes me very happy.
$5 for 14 songs.
For charity.
P.S. A rundown of the tracks is in the works, so keep yer eyes peeled!
P.P.S. UK represent! I think you guys made two of my favourite songs on the entire album.
Erin does some of the funniest one-liners in wrock, with catchy tunes and a great voice to boot.
Sample:
You keep a boa constrictor for a pet
You shaved your head and bought an acrylic nail set
Put in some red contacts and filed your teeth
Wherever you go, you bring a fog machine
I defy you to dislike this.
Why has there not yet been any RVatCC on here yet, you ask? Well, I don't know either. I'm now rectifying that.
This song is called Frozen, and I think it'll always be my favourite. This one-lady band has some of the best vocals in wrock, and an impressive array of musical stylings, from piano ballad to dance party to, recently, wrap.
Also, Amy is one of the nicest people ever and has done so much for the European wrock scene.
P.S. I got to sing with her at the Snow Ball *screaming*
One of my all-time favourite wrock songs. Quick, witty, simple, and extraordinarily catchy. Several years ago I missed a Parselmouths library show by about a day and I'm still bitter.
Side note: I taught my six year old sister to sing/snark Brittany's part so we could play this together. The cuteness was lethal and she still sings it around the house fairly often.
More rock-y wrock!
Wingardium Leviosa are a Californian pop-punk extravanganza. Catchy as all get-out, sing along/bedroom wrockout conducive... and that's just this song.
They're also good at epic, heart-wrenching, and the occasional slide guitar part. Their self-titled debut album, (available here: http://wingardiumleviosarock.webs.com ), is strong all the way through and totally worth the money, as are the t-shirts, which I will officially endorse in a minute.

'This song is about Barty Crouch and the loss of his beloved wife. If you don't remember his story, he was forced to make the hard decision to send his only son to Azkaban. His ill wife was devastated by this, and refused to let him go, so she decided to consume a polyjuice potion and take her son's place. She later died in Azkaban due to her illness. Barty Crouch never saw her again, as she was buried in Azkaban by the dementors while his criminal of a son ran free. This song reflects how we imagine Crouch felt towards his son, and the many questions he had for his wife. This video is meant to portray Crouch's wife as a ghost. '
Ethereal, well produced, multi-layered stuff. I love Let's Lumos.
Their YouTube channel (the one their videos are uploaded to, at least) is jessicalestrange.
