Heritage - Opeth

Well, I had a good chat with David Gogo this afternoon at our Filberg Festival. He played an acoustic set on his 1930 National Resonator Guitar followed by an electric set with 4 other blues players. The 'Blues Panel' was essentially a 2 hour jam session where they all played along with the other musicians' material. It's quite amazing how they can just pickup the tune & play along like they've been playing it all along.

I got my autographed CD of 'Soul Bender'. I brought it home & played it through my M22s/Velos in my HT system - twice! This is an excellently recorded CD with deep bass extension that I didn't expect. As always, Gogo's vocals are fine & his guitar playing is simply outstanding with the standout track for me being 'Whiskey Train'.

If you like electric blues with a rock flavour, this is a good one. Highly recommended...

OK, all you Dream Theater devotees (I know you're out there, never would have found them without these boards), I really like the album Awake, but I don't know which one to get next. Which one do you think is their best?

Try Octavarium. Nice mix of (relatively) bite size songs mixed with epic ones.

The Alabama Shakes are guaranteed to put a smile on your face, unless you're dead inside.

Not bad. I like em.

I do. I am now listening on Slacker.com while working on mind numbing documentation for work. Just what I needed, thanks!

Soko - "Destruction of the Disgusting Ugly Hate"

Somehow I missed the release of her album, so I ordered it. In the meantime, this super-weird music video will keep me super-soked.

Gawd, I hope that was a miss type!
