- Saturday is the Apocalyptica/Dir en Grey show at the Showbox SoDo (the one behind Safeco Field). Hopefully it will be a good show and that I won't have to kill any idiot Dir en Grey fans that try to be dicks. They tried that crap at the last show in 2007 and I was less than happy. Besides I'm not there for them anyway, I'm going because of ( Read more... )

I've gotten lots of music lately. Must be the time of year or something. Here's a quick rundown of what I've purchased in the last month or so ( Read more... )

Well, so much for my Biffno story tonight. Instead, I wrote 900 words for another story. Like I need another WIP story but at least this one has me giggling in places. You can't help but not to when superheroes and Kai are involved in the same story ( Read more... )

I finally figured out how to get my Ayreon fanmeet ticket from P3's website. Appel had to help me with the Dutch as I obviously don't speak it.

Ok, I'm giving the Dream Theater song "Repentance" another shot. Mainly due to what a guy on the DT community mentioned. He said that I should take the song in the context that it's just one part of a larger song, namely a five part one. Since Dream Theater has always had slower parts in the middle of their longer songs it makes perfect sense ( Read more... )

Thanks to a pre-order at FYE, I got Dream Theater's new album Systematic Chaos in the mail last night. Sadly, no lithograph. I assume it will come sometime later since I know I pre-ordered it early enough for one ( Read more... )
