Wed 6 Oct – Kania Tieffer North American Tour

A wonderful show. Ms. Kania Tieffer is more than just a music performance. She is a visual delight and dances to the music. (makes you wanna dance). If you ever have the chance to see Kania Tieffer then make all plans to do so.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UYSIlPLoyfQ

………..thanks to the encouragement of Kris.
I'm sure this will be a good show. This here dude fell in love with Chrissie Hynde's voice around 1981 when I heard her on the radio, (most of you were not even born then haha). Why make a journal entry about this? It will be the 1st time to see her/them live.

Something old is new. For all of my rock, metal, post-rock and progressive rock friends I invite for you to listen intently to the song 'Round Midnight as performed by Maynard Ferguson and his Orchestra. (Yes it is big band music)

First, listen to he last.fm audio stream of Round Midnight as performed by Maynard Ferguson.
I hear:
A wall of sound. (much like heavy metal and post rock power chords).
Not too much. (leader practices restraint, gives audience breathing room).
Impeccable timing. (good bands not only have good drummers, they have exceptionally good drummers.)

Then play the YouTube video…

Mon 29 Dec – Clutch, Russian Circles, Viking Skull The men from Maryland put on a great show. This was my 1st time seeing Clutch and my 1st time at the 9:30 club. Very good venue. Well staffed and managed. Clutch was as good as it gets. I do appreciate how they respect the audience and that they try to give a good show. And that's what we were given..a great show……..the 3rd opening band…Russian Circles…was a new discovery for me. Their sound was earth shattering….I must have all of their music.
