Orgy made its name with their debut album Candyass and hit cover "Blue Monday." But Orgy is a strange breed, mixing alternative angst with a dramatically unique science fiction sound that harks back to the '80s, aux accents and all. This brand of self-labelled "death-pop" makes references to the "Message from Opticon/Blast from the fashion bomb" almost believable. This is the new millennium after all, right?

"He was a great mentor, and he supported my composing. He arranged for my professional debut as a composer, when he arranged...
...person's life when a nod is given in his or her general direction, the long-awaited affirmation that the time has come. For some, it is a call to the army, for some the acceptance into a collegiate institution. For me, it was playing the glockenspiel on the debut album of my band, the Humming. Market value of the microphone that recorded the glockenspiel part: $6000. Cost of studio time while recording the part: $79.10. Wooden spoon I used to play the part with...
