New Samantha Fish. Requisition a new name, but good bluesy rock. Would love to see her open for Joanne Shaw Taylor some day. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MjUkSUjBqWw&list=OLAK5uy_nTurs-ywpnIFrrgsh24VUF6LQPDK7xtkw&index=1
Holy schnikes,. I just looked, she is opening for Marc Broussard at the Neptune in Seattle Sept 25. I have a dentist apt that day...will have to check out who Marc Broussard is, and maybe see if I can convince Mrs. Pacman to take in a mid-week show.
Have tickets at White River this Sunday for Dorothy, Diamante, Three Days Grace, Chevelle and Breaking Benjamins. Saturday weather is supposed to be good, but Sunday is looking like all day rain. Nuts to that. I hate going to a show, especially one that long, outdoors in the rain (insert obligatory Seattle rain joke here). Fortunately, the tickets were cheap, but bummer that I may miss that show. September is normally the best month for weather in Seattle...70-73, pretty dry, etc. We seemed to have skipped that month this year.
Nuts. Sold out. Not going to deal with resellers on this. Digging Marc Broussard so far, but I'm not paying over $100 for a pair. |

#6426, 6427 I have her albums, like her work very much. I don't think she has quite the pipes and chops of Joanne Shaw Taylor, but she is very, very good. Checked out some Marc Broussard, and while I dig his music, I just can't see battling Seattle traffic (which is a nightmare for me with the ffakakta vision), paying scalper prices and trying to deal with getting around the University District in Seattle at night by myself when that place was already pretty damned strange when I went to school some 35 years ago. If tickets were still available via box office and I could bring a friend to drive, sure. I hope that one day soon I get a chance to see both of these talented women play.
And after a beautiful day here on Saturday, the weather for the outdoor show I was going to attend tomorrow is officially rain off and on all damned day. Oh well, at least I've gotten to see a few great shows the last couple of years. Health kept me from going for quite a while, but I've figured out some ways to cope for 2-3 hours shows.
Oh, and here's a little JST (I've linked this before, and I like all of her albums, too, but this might be my favorite of hers):: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iAkmtOGTX4A
Alright, new Dollskin. 3 out of 4 stars. Gets off to a wobbly start, but the girls punch your mouth pretty good after that.
New Puddle of Mudd. 3.5 stars out of 4. Could use a bit more variation, but couple nice breaks. Currently listening to the 9th track, Kiss it Goodbye, and I swear it sounds as if Nirvana and Alice in Chains (Layne Staley years) had a kid and birthed this song. Seriously. Also, the vid track "Uh-Oh" is fun. 2:17 in was basically how I ended things with the first wife. Well, I was a little more polite. |

New Beth Hart album "War in My Mind" is already on YT. One of the better blues singers around, IMHO.
Check that. Doesn't seem like the entire album is working just yet. New Hellyeah due out at midnight, too. Also a new IQ album "Resistance" also due out. Looking forward to that.
Well, having trouble accessing the others, but the new Hellyeah is quite good. Chad Gray (has there ever been a less metal name for a serious metal singer? Yeah, probably...just can't think of any right now) has an amazing voice. He covers so many styles and ranges, switching with ease that is pretty impressive. Saw him fronting Mudvayne at Ozzfest in 2005 (also playing was Rob Zombie, Trivium, Killswitch Engage, Shadows Fall, and many more leading into Iron Maiden and Black Sabbath...damn, can ya beat that?). "Welcome Home" is probably my favorite track so far.
C'mon, IQ. Let's hear some hear some of your particular brand of prog metal. \m/>.<\m/
BTW, last night I was singing and had one of my wife's parrots dancing. No kidding. Dude was rocking from one foot to the other, bobbing his head. We're going to try to get him to repeat (he's done it a couple times now) and record, then post it. I'm hoping he'll play ball. Seems to like my voice, and he was really rocking last night.
New KMFDM is blowing my mind so far. Early, however. |

Nice! Really good band. Dayseeker. Fourth album just came out, but band is new to me. Best I can describe is a heavier Linkin Park. Not as much on the electronics, growling in place of Shinoda's rap (there are plenty of "clean" vocals, too...I can't take an entire album of screaming or growling). Man, the production on this album is fantastic. Layered in places, sparse when it needs to be, some strings in places, crunchy and heavy at times. Really, really digging this. I was trying to get a few things done while listening, and I had to stop and put the headphones on and really pay attention to get it all. |

New Flying Colors. Yet another Mike Portnoy project, so it's prog rock with some lengthy tunes and busy (but good) drum parts. This is probably one of the mellower bands Portnoy has been in. Reminds me quite a bit of Yes and Emerson, Lake & Palmer. Some killer bass lines as well, and I swear I hear a Hammond B3 in there. This is really, really good.
#6442 A very underrated band. Freeze Frame was a giant hit, but they made other good music. I make my own ringtones, and current phone call rt is "Insane, Insane Again". Gets some funny looks in public when it goes off, as it starts with Brad Pitt from 12 Monkeys, one of Gilliam's better films. |

Caught Carlos a year or two before Supernatural released, so 96-7ish). Sitting 12th row just off center with a dad who kept asking what smelled funny and an uncle who claimed every song sounded the same. SMH. Great show despite the distracting company |
