Comment on December 24, Again by Kent Sanders

Believe it or not, I listened to that very album just 3 or 4 months ago. I still think many of the songs are really good. Potter’s House was quite the big deal when I was in college. I thought they would really go places.

And I miss Paul, too. What a great guy.

Thank you sir! I dig Opeth, too…but they sometimes get a little too screamy for too long for me. Musically awesome…but just listening to them makes my throat sore! Nothing wrong with that though. When I’m in that zone, I don’t really notice it–it’s well done. I’m just not a cookie-monster-vocals guy too often.

Your reasoning and rationale for placing “Crack the Skye” at the top are terrific. I completely agree that Dream Theater has been replaced on the throne of Progressive Metal, and I think Mastodon is easily the top American Metal band working right now… and could possibly be the top Metal Band in the world (in my opinion, they’re battling it out with Opeth for that crown).

Good post buddy.

Awesome! Thanks! Glad you enjoyed that stuff—and for the record, I tend to think my stuff sounds BEST at 3 a.m.

Also, good to hear from you today on my cell!

Thanks! That’s one of my favorites that I’ve written lately. Totally wouldn’t work in Blue Tattoo…don’t have enough for a new solo record…so this seemed a good place to put it! Thanks for the download. Glad you liked it.

I like the downloads – i listened to them the first time at 3 in the morning, which makes all music better. but then listened to them again several times while conscious, and still think they’re great.

Just wanted to say I really like the downloads. Especially You and Your Perfect Life. Simple, dark, and yelling intertwined. Love it.

Comment on Re-Watching the Watchmen… by derekbrink

Yeah, I’m thinking they’re wrong about the date of the “encounter.” They almost HAVE to be right about Laurie’s birthday (her birthday is mentioned once or twice elsewhere in the story), but I’m not sure a definite date is given on the Comedian and Sally’s other “meeting.” Ahem… Still…kind of unsettling for a fanboy to read the work of other fanboys and find something like that, lol!

And thanks for mentioning about the class. I did think of it a while ago and meant to ask you about it, but then I forgot about it pretty soon afterward, lol. For future reference, I can get a day off here and there—which actually is good news, to me!—or I can work remotely later in the day, probably. So in future semesters, if you want to set something up, it should be do-able. No worries about this year, with everything being new and weird…but, yeah, keep me in mind for the future. I’d love to do something like that again!

Hope your semester went well and that you’re going to get to put your feet up over the break!
