Things are getting down to the wire for November as we go from 10 songs to just five. In This Moment's "Blood" dominated the last round and received nearly half of the votes.

Will Maria Brink's clan take her to the top or will she be out-beat?  Vote and tune in next week to see who won the title!

It seems as though each month goes by faster. In a sense that's good because each month gets more suspenseful as the weeks go by, as fans vote for their favorite songs and check back each week to see if their pick moved on to the next round. We are into week two of this month's 'Top Rock Song' music poll, and it got a little easier as now there are just 10 songs to pick from rather than last week's 20. In This Moment's "Blood" is once again in the lead, but as we have seen anything can happen, and the big vote for America is over so now vote for something more exciting!

We've all heard stories upon stories of drug-addicted individuals who go to extreme lengths in order to support their habits. This, however has to be a first- a man steals lobsters and other marine-like meat to sell in exchange for drug money. No this is not a joke.

I have no words for how absolutely disgusting this is. The extreme audacity of an individual   to kick people when they are down for the count; the heinous act that he committed is just so beyond low, pathetic, inhumane, unspeakable, horrid- oh look I did find my words!
