So, as I took far too long to explain, a lot of this new music came from me trying to find more yummy electric guitar, since I've realized afresh how much in love with the instrument I am. The biggest project I've undertaken recently is trying to find black metal, doom metal or death metal that doesn't make me laugh. Because I love love love the sound of metal music; love the guitar part, but the vocals are often difficult for me to like or take seriously.

Rediscoveries:

Pat Metheny
BEAUTIFUL jazz guitar; I don't even need to say it; he's one of the most famous. I fell in love with When We Were Free about a year ago; it played all the time outside the box office where I work last summer, and even though I got sick as heck of all the other songs, every time this one came on, I would stop, and...sigh (sometimes only sigh in my head, but the feeling was there). …

i think they should just change it's name to "the only good thing about"

so every year it's "the only good thing about ___this year___"

Apparently the most people ever attended this year. I believe it. I didn't watch Electric Wizard, but if you see the photos of the crowd that was out there for them (even getting rained on. . .). . . .it looks like one of those fests in Europe there's so many people. I think a good chunk of those people were watching Cough earlier that day. That room was completely full. It might have been that full for Nasum on Friday. . .in fact I'm sure it was. . .but I didn't attempt to go to the spot under the fans that night, so I don't know.

So many people were there, I damn sure did not run into everyone I know that went.
So many people were there, the crusties were grossly outnumbered (to the point where some people think they just didn't show up. . . .even if Nausea was playing).

So I've decided to relist my catalog my vinyl collection here because I got really bored one day and decided to type all of this shit out- the thought of such boredness brings me much sadness, but I could've just sat staring at the wall, so given that thought this isn't such a pointless post. I'll post another journal entry at some point with some pics of the particularly beautiful vinyl.
If anyone is interested in trading or buying/selling, feel free to message me or comment.
