The new Myrath disc dropped today. It is awesome. That is all.

This is a fun little video from musicians representing my two favorite genres...

I've been giving Serious Black in depth spins over the last several days. I wasn't familiar with much of his work until I listened to Project Arcadia earlier this year. I enjoyed his voice on that disc, but after listening to SB, all I can say is "damn, that guy can sing". I'm looking forward...

Kamelot (with Dragonforce) is scheduled to play in Birmingham next year. My complaints about no decent tours coming through here have been made invalid.

I'm a bit behind on my PP prep. I have their latest release, Nemesis. Which of their other discs should I pick up?

Through the wonders of iPod shuffle, I happened to get Pink Floyd and BB King discs back to back. I was struck by how Gilmour and BB wring the most out of the fewest number of notes. Which guitar players do all of you like that are short on flash but long on perfection?

We're seeing an early flu season down here, just a few hours west of Hotlanta. Take usual flu season precautions!

I've noticed that as PP approaches, my behavior changes. I'm a little more irritable, generally dissatisfied with the daily routine, and more easily distracted. I don't take much time off leading up to PP, and this is a traditionally busy time of year, so I can partially explain away my ennui...

Does anyone have experience with either the Wadia i170 or Pure i20 iPod stereo docks? They supposedly are about as lossless as you can make an iPod.

Last night I found out that a guy I graduated with has been the guitarist for Brother Cane since their second album. While they aren't a huge band, it wa nice to see that David can make a living playing music. We chatted for a couple of minutes last night. What a super, down to earth, nice...

Over the years, I have mostly been appreciative of George Lynch's post Dokken work. His Lynch-Pilson release was outstanding. The guys from Dokken (minus Don Dokken) have a new release out. Does anyone think they're PP worthy?

If you'll be at The Masquerade Sunday night, I hope to meet my other PP attendees. I am wearing a PP T shirt to give Glenn some free pub.

I'm attending the Kingcrow concert in Atlanta on the 28th. Does anyone know of a decent, safe hotel near the venue?

I've never been there, but I caught an episode of Bar Rescue that featured The Abbey in Chicago. I know they get good metal acts on occasion. Have any long time Abbey goers noticed a big improvement in the past couple of years?

If anyone else is playing this iPhone trivia game, look me up. I'm bamafan68.

Serenity announced, via their Facebook page, that co-founder, songwriter and keyboard player Mario Hirzinger is leaving the band. Apparently, he is not a fan of symphonic metal. I wonder how much impact this will have...

Glenn's FB pic that showed the Sabaton t shirt clue made me realize that I don't know where to start with Sabaton. I kind of get the impression that they are like Manowar, only with guns, battle and bombs in place of swords and dragons on the random lyric generation machine. Is there one...

With the announcement of SG's first ever PP appearance, I dusted off my entire Shadow Gallery catalog. This band really writes some amazing songs. While I am partial to the genius of Tyranny and Room V, Digital Ghosts is more appealing to me than when it first came out. Dare I say it? It is...

At this year's festival, bands had two physicists and one Disney executive VP that I know of. What other unexpected occupations did you encounter among the musicians?

I am thrilled that SG is going to be headlining next year's ProgPower!
