They’re a great band. Used to be Boston based until I moved to Boston and they moved to LA. For a while they didn’t have a set guitarist and the guitarist from Scattered played for them. I went to see Scattered at UMass a lot and they were excellent. Great songwriting.
Anyway saw On The [...]

I wish when bands came back from 4-year pauses and played in their home town (that I now live in) they would play a venue so that at least MOST fans can get tickets to ONE of their 5 shows. Hopefully they announce some normal concerts soon cause this is bullshit.

So I went out to the Middle East Downstairs yesterday with Alex to see a show. It was pretty good. All three of those bands can be found on MySpace in case you want to hear some things. As normal with me I bought every album they had for sale so I have lots of [...]

Wicked was amazing. Having only listened to the cd (a lot) I had no idea of the plot and that’s definitely a fun way to see a musical for the first time. Most I have a big idea of the plot just from listening to the music and it’s fun to not have that in [...]

I want to see so many concerts right now. Hartford Symphony is doing a Led Zepplin music concert but the cheapest tickets are 35. Sucky. Police are touring but the $50 dollar tickets sell out in like minutes, leaving only the $90 and $250 dollar ones to slowly sell out once rich people get off [...]

I got a job. I’ll be doing backend database programming on Berklee College of Music’s online course programs. How awesome is that! I had the third interview (with management, first was on the phone, second was meeting the tech team) last Friday and they called TODAY and offered me the job. I’m THRILLED.
They’re located right [...]

Finally we have a GOOD mpd music client! Check this out! This is a mpd
frontend allowing me to use MPD, which I love.
I use quod libet for tagging my files now. The tagging library is
really nice and cool to use. It can do tagging from file names and
file names from tags etc. Great stuff. [...]

I think I want this.
Anyone own one and can speak for it? I don’t care about photos and movies at ALL, but I can’t seem to find any decent players that don’t include them. The look of this thing is excellent! Most non-ipod players look horrible but this one looks plain awesome. I want to [...]

I saw Thomas Dolby last night in Northampton at the IronHorse. To get it out of the way quickly: I didn’t know Iron Horse was a resturant. I went with Andria Schwortz (a friend’s girlfriend) who is a science teacher in Central Mass. Caitlin had no interest (which makes sense) and Tony (my friend) had [...]

Got a brand new guitar last Friday! It’s a gibson Les Paul Vintage Mahagony. They are only produced for Guitar Center and Muscian’s Friend. Fortunately this does not mean they are bad guitars.
There are some reviews of this guitar and here is a link a picture of what the guitar looks like brand new. Mine [...]
