    New Poets of the Fall video - "Daze"

    Because I think the five or six of you here who are also fans aren't on my Facebook... I love Marko Saaresto's voice, although I wish he'd lay off the falsetto. Awesome video. The album is out Sept 19th, so too late for ProgPower, but I don't think you can get the physical discs in the US...

    The Art of Asking

    http://www.ted.com/talks/amanda_palmer_the_art_of_asking.html?source=facebook#.UTNNI2vbakB.facebook I think people have been obsessed with the wrong question, which is "How do we MAKE people pay for music?" What if we started asking, "How do we LET people pay for music?" I'm sure there are...

    PP XII

    I took a TON of photos (over 500, mostly of Evergrey and Vanden Plas) - I haven't had a chance to go through them all yet, but I have one to share: The acoustic and ISOT sets were *awesome*, I wouldn't have missed them for anything.

    Music for the nonbelievers

    Every now and then, Zod and I have made noises about making a topic for the nonbelievers, because the lot of us often filter into the Christian music threads with questions and observations that are kind of inappropriate in a discussion that has nothing to do with us; I always hated it when...

    explanation

    So you all may have noticed I wasn't there this weekend... Friday morning, I got up with the intent of taking a shower, puttering around on the internet for an hour or two, and then getting on the train to Venlo. Instead, I found myself in the hospital a few blocks away due to a severe...

    Powermad 2000 family photo

    I've been doing some organizing, trying to get photos off my hard drive and onto the external, deleting the doubles, blah blah blah, and thought I'd post this for everyone's enjoyment. Sorry it's so small; I don't believe I have (or have not found) an original to rescan or resize. But it's...

    Ride request?

    I feel a little silly asking this, but here goes. :p I'm going to Amsterdam for a couple of days after the festival, and I was wondering if I could hitch a ride with any of you festival-goers on the way home who live near there. Even if you slow down and throw me out at a train station half...

    Last.fm

    I'm sure most people are familiar with it by now, but last.fm has a plugin that tracks your listening habits through programs like Winamp and iTunes (including ipods). It also has a radio station that you can customize slightly - unfortunately, if you're not in the US, Germany, or the UK...

    Evergrey at Jaxx 5/27/09 - canceled, postponed til the fall.

    For some reason this never got posted! If you're anywhere near the DC area, come on out to Jaxx on May 27 - one of the only TWO stateside shows Evergrey is doing so far this year. Don't pay stupid amounts of money in fees to Ticketbastard either - Division is opening, get in contact with...

    Questions!

    So I'm preeeeetty sure I'm going to go. This is contingent on me saving enough for airfare by mid-July, but it's about 85% likely I'll be there. Right now, my plan is to do a multi-destination flight. I'm going to fly to Stockholm, spend a couple days doing the touristy thing, then take the...

    Firefly/Steven Brust fans:

    Steven Brust has written a Firefly fanfic novel, which is available for a free download at: http://dreamcafe.com/words/2008/02/05/firefly-novel/ I've read the first couple chapters; he's certainly got the character dialogue down pat!

    what is your age bracket?

    A few years ago I did an offhand survey to see what the average age of PPers was, and it was about 31. The subject has come up again in another thread, and I figured I'd separate it out, post a poll, and see how things have changed, since I know a number of you (including me!) have moved into...

    Jaxx pics (image heavy!)

    more nevergrey pics! (image heavy!)

    I didn't feel like bothering with a webpage for five pics. I'll be posting a handful of Evergrey pics down in the relevant forum, too.

    Current status quo:

    Dragonofblood has been banned for serious breaches of courtesy to others. Please let this serve as an example; I don't want to have to do this to anyone else. I'm also going to start killing any p2p references (by request), so if you want to talk about the album, please avoid mentioning if...

    Mac's show Feb. 25?

    I can't get into MySpace from work to verify, but Calvin pointed me at it last night. You guys plus Odin's Court are playing Essex at a club called Mac's? I looked up the location of the club, and it's right up the road from the Hot Spot, and since it's a Saturday night, I can make it...

    Testament live video - 2005

    It looks like I can get a 710mb video (xVid format) of a Testament show from London earlier this year. I think I'm going to get it for myself, since I didn't make it to the show at Jaxx - does anyone want a copy whenever I finish the DL?
