Show us the last album you listened to.
I found a new band courtesy of the fine folks over at the Mike Portnoy Forums, again. Epica is…weird. It's got some death metal type grunting lyrics, some really, really nice female lead vocals, orchestral structures, heavy metal riffs…
A very strange combination that I'm really enjoying right now. I snapped up the album with my $44 iTunes credit that I got from converting all of the change that was laying around my apartment using one of those change sorting machines at the supermarket. No fee for turning it into iTunes credit, which I would have used anyway eventually.
The Independent Music Store Lives!!

Just made an interesting discovery today. Wassy had noticed a small local music store out in Clinton as she was passing through a few months ago, and since we have our newfound similar musical taste, we decided to journey over there today.
We arrived at a small little house in the middle of town, a sign out front proclaiming that it was "The Melodic Revolution" and that there was going to be a live band playing there later that night. I started feeling a little worried because it was so small. My first look in the door wasn't that promising either. It was basically a small room with some CD racks set up. But then my friend noticed the Progressive section. It was as if I had died and gone to progressive rock heaven. There were CDs and bands on that shelf that I've never seen in a music store ever.
They also had a really good selection of music DVDs too. I ended up picking up Transatlantic – Live in Europe because I've been looking for it FOREVER. We went back to her place and gave it a watch/listen. Neal Morse is such a dork.
Anyway, their website is located here. If you're anywhere in the area and you're interested in some lesser known/independent bands…make sure you check them out. Gotta support the little guys.
