Both Porcupine Tree and 3 kicked my f’n ass last night. I had an unbelievable time and there was so much tasty fantastical superbalicious drumming going on all night that I almost couldn’t stand it.
I love the new Rush album.
Finally a new album by theStart! Out June 5th:
As I continue to thoroughly enjoy the new Rush album, the below lyrics are really hitting home at the moment:
Faithless
I’ve got my own moral compass to steer by
A guiding star beats a spirit in the sky
And all the preaching voices -
Empty vessels ring so loud
As they move among the crowd
Fools and thieves are well disguised
In the temple and market place
Like a stone in the river
Against the floods of spring
I will quietly resist
Like the willows in the wind
Or the cliffs along the ocean
I will quietly resist
I don’t have faith in faith
I don’t believe in belief
You can call me faithless
But I still cling to hope
And I believe in love
And that’s faith enough for me
I’ve got my own spirit level for balance
To tell if my choice is leaning up or down
And all the shouting voices
Try to throw me off my course
Some by sermons, some by force
Fools and thieves are dangerous
In the temple and marketplace
Like a forest bows to winter
Beneath the deep white silence
I will quietly resist
Like a flower in the desert
That only blooms at night
I will quietly resist
-Neil Peart
Allison and I are fresh back from a mini-vacation at Disney World. We had a great time and I hope to have a couple of pictures up soon. We could have hung out at the World Showcase and Epcot the whole time. I enjoyed quite a few snakebites at the Rose & Crown! Although it was totally worth it, we’re both pooped, broke and very glad to be home.
The new Dream Theater album comes out next month. I went ahead and pre-ordered it in hopes that it will be something a little different this time around. We shall see…
Living Colour released a live DVD yesterday FINALLY!! I have been waiting to see those guys live since like, forever! I’ve watched the first few songs so far and really like it. Fans out there should waste no time in getting over to the shop for a copy.
There’s a new Tomb Raider game coming out soon marking the game’s 10 year anniversary. It is appropriately titled “Tomb Raider: Anniversary”. Legend was tons of fun so I’m looking forward to this one, especially since it is supposed to be in the same spirit as the original. Here’s a couple of screens that I selected from the great tombraiderchronicles.com:
