Hello Learned Colleagues, You can't swing a stick without hitting a metal band who has recorded a song or CD based on Tolkien, Lovecraft, King, etc. But with Halloween coming up and a TV marathon in mind, I was wondering if there are any metal songs or CDs out there based on the 1970's TV...

Not to be a conspiracy theorist, but has anyone actually seen both of these people in the same place at the same time? The 2016 roster video had me wondering. :goggly:

Over the weekend, my local comic shop / record store had a promotion night with acoustic music and a local brewery delivering their wares. I like supporting the store, and so I decided to buy something even though I do not have a working turntable anymore, figuring I would find a good home for...

Brushing off the cobwebs to post this here, since I figured it wouldn't hurt: Novembers Doom Acoustic Show Friday Nov 21, 2014 at Beat Kitchen - Chicago, IL Doors 10pm, Show 10:30pm Special Guest: Tony Williams Tix at Beat Kitchen or ticketfly.com...

I shot this out to Facebook and Twitter a few days ago, but no one has come up with the definitive answer yet. Who holds the record for appearing in full sets with the largest number of different bands? I'm not talking about when someone like Michael Eriksen comes out to do guest vocals with...

Hello ProgPower Friends, As some of you may know from Facebook or other places, Andreas Blomquist (of Seventh Wonder) and his family just lost their daughter Susanna, at the age of about four weeks old. In reply to the FB post about this, I wrote that I wish I had more than just words to...

Maybe someone has some insight, I'm just curious. Myrath has deservedly received much love for pulling off an amazing performance under the circumstances. But if they hadn't been able to get to the venue in time for their set, what was Plan B? Silence for an hour? Another band ready to play...

The Bloody Good Horror website is presenting a retrospective of the year 1983 in metal, with many seminal releases. It is an ongoing series of blogs, you can see the Intro, and Parts 1, 2, and 3 here: http://www.bloodygoodhorror.com/bgh/blogs/m-drew Ken

Are there any jazz fusion fans on the board? We have a local band Freek Johnson that have played around our area for quite a while. Here is a sample from a recent show. Bass fans, pay particular attention between 8 and 10 minutes.

Hey media nerds! I need a recommendation of a software package that I can use in my office to capture face / voice from a webcam and also input from a digital writing tablet so that I can create instructional videos for use in on-line math classes. Our IT folks recommend Camtasia, can anyone...

Seventh Wonder owes an apology to all the other bands on my ipod. These other bands are getting sorely neglected, and it's all Seventh Wonder's fault. I always try to pretend I may try to listen to something else, but I end up thinking, "Why listen to this other band when I could be...

So I'm missing PP this year, but at least I got to go see Big Time Rush on Sunday! Here I am helping Melody hold up her "Kendall Rocks!" sign. Ah, her first pop star crush. https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=2198238487930&set=a.1956697889566.2109612.1606310227&type=1&ref=nf...

In this weekend's podcast, Larry asked for feedback on what kinds of things we as listeners would like to have from ND (besides simply new CDs of original material). So here goes, we can start a focus group! My vote would go towards either a combined live DVD / CD (either of a "regular" show...

I spent some time in the yard today, and I thought it would be fun to listen to my ND tunes on random and note down what got played. Here's what my ipod brought up for me: Forever With Unopened Eye (OSIASF) Bestow My Desire (AIHM) Harlots' Lie (INRI) The Paul Haunt Departure (TPHD) Reaping...

Okay, it's time for the lamest thread / question ever on the PPUSA Lounge Forum! Who has had good luck with air fresheners and can make a recommendation? I've been using Air Wick plug ins - they do a good job for a short time, but the refills run out pretty quickly and, like with printer...

Greetings Oh Oracles of Television Wisdom, I just finished going through the first season of Dexter. While I liked the show fairly well, I didn't get that irresistable urge to keep watching episode after episode and stay up way too late doing so, like I did while watching The Shield, The...

I always wonder what old-timers like Ozzy and AC/DC think when they hear their music arranged for marching or pep bands. It's pretty funny to hear Crazy Train played anemically by the half-size Valparaiso University Pep Band at a women's basketball game! And the last two years, my wife's...

For fans, it looks like a new Metalocalypse is on tap (finally!) for this weekend. epguides.com / tvrage.com shows the title as "Rehabklok" but Adult Swim's schedule shows it as "Fertilityklok". Either way, it looks new! Ken

So here's the second "Chicago Peeps" thread in the last few weeks. Styx is doing their "play The Grand Illusion and Pieces of Eight in their entirety" tour. They're playing the Star Plaza in Merrillville, Indiana (right off an exit of I-65) on Friday October 15th...

I know it's been a while now since RJD moved on, but I'm hoping several bands opt to toss in a Dio cover. Anyone want to pick the over / under on 3.5 Dio covers played during the fest? Ken
