I’m headed to Boston this weekend to see some friends and catch the Roger Waters concert on the 3rd, so needless to say I’m looking forward to the weekend right now. This stretch over the past few weeks has been pretty bad relatively, so I could definitely use a little mini-vacation right about now. There’s

Name three songs you never get sick of. A Change Of Seasons by Dream Theater This is one of my favorite Dream Theater songs ever. It’s a roughly 23 minute epic written by ex drummer Mike Portnoy about his experiences with the death of his Mom in a plane crash and how that changed his

I sit here shocked, not really knowing what to say. Oh, don’t worry, nobody died or anything like that. In the grand scheme of things this isn’t a gigantic tragedy. And yet here I am, still shocked.

Yesterday, as I’ve been mentioning for a while now was the day that Rush played the New York State Fair as part of their Time Machine tour. This was my first time seeing Rush (my previous first time was thwarted by my sister scheduling her wedding for the same day as the concert and refusing

The weekend was, in a word, awesome. Earlier in the week we had started to get worried because it was looking like

Ok, It’s been absolutely forever since I posted anything up here. Like I mentioned before, I’m trying to keep the small random stuff more on Twitter/Facebook than trying to write about everything that’s happening in my life.

So, I finally get a chance to actually write up my experiences with going to see Trans-Siberian Orchestra on their first ever non-winter tour. My parents and I went out to Syracuse on Sunday to catch the show at the Landmark Theater. After a quick pit stop at Tully’s for dinner, we headed to the

Traditionally, this is the time of year where I pick my favorite musical releases of the past 365 days (366 on leap years). This year will be no exception. And…man was this year a gigantic change from last year. Whereas 2008 was kinda slow for music, 2009 was a flood, especially the second half of

The day I had been dreading/looking forward to has arrived. Transatlantic tour dates have been announced! I knew they would play New York City but I was worried that would be the only north east location they were going to be playing since it’s a fairly expensive trip there. But they’re playing the Theater of
