So, Dream Theater live, the sixth time. But - not enough - my second favourite band, Symphony X, the main reason why I went again to a Dream Theater concert.
The venue was the Philipshalle in Düsseldorf, Germany. First thing noted - not enough parking space. After driving in the row of cars for the parking […]

A neat software I discovered and tried today:GNUMP3d is a small server software to stream your music collection, and also includes a small web server that automatically provides a web interface. So - you can from a remote computer access your music collection. In the web interface, you choose which music to play and get […]

It had to happen: Led Zeppelin will play a live show after 20 years. Robert Plant, established in a lot of interviews as a …hm… difficult man, still has a charismatic voice, and released some good music. But I have seriously concerns that he has the range and variability of his early years. Even on […]

Hey, could I please post something else then YouTube videos? No, I’m currently mostly writing against the developing Nazi Germany 2.0 over at the german blog.
So, with a recent purchases post coming up, here’s more video food:

But fear not, in their also new Blog (finally…), Russ […]

Woohoo, now finally Last.fm plays full tracks at random in a playlist, but you can decide on the pool of songs. Hey, and even embed the player, so look at my sidebar for my playlist! Great work, last.fm!

First of all, something that lies in the future although the music is ready and I’m dying here waiting to hear it. I’m talking about the new Symphony X song that’s been released on their MySpace page. Not only does it deliver the usual Symphony X greatness, it might even be better! Watch out […]

2007 has also brought a wagonload of good albums that would already pale my 2006 top list.
The best for the first 4 months is Fear of a Blank Planet by Porcupine Tree, which I would call their best work yet. It’s only 6 tracks in 50 minutes, but so intense it almost hurts.
Rush have a […]

Breathtakingly beautiful!
