*Obscure FC reference alert!*
Saturday morning, I was working out at my local gym. Like a lot of gyms these days, they have TV's all over the place. I was in a room where they had 5 different ones on different channels. Rather than plugging in and paying close attention to them, I just had my iPod on and was listening to Trivium during my workout. One of the TV's is always set to the gym's own channel, where they alternate between workout-related informational type stuff and popular music videos. I never even pay attention to that channel at all, other than casually glancing at the screen from time to time. As I was working out on Saturday, I caught a glimpse of the screen and was struck with that feeling that I was seeing something familiar that actually mattered to me. After half a second, I realized I was staring at the Flying Colors album cover. A couple of seconds later, and it was gone. But I thought it very interesting that what I assumed was going to be a very obscure album was being advertised in a very pop-centered medium. Hopefully, this portends big things for this album. I would love it if it ended up being quite popular.
