Paganfest is back!!

Posted by

People. You may remember when I last went to Paganfest in 2008. And how much ass it kicked. And how much metal I have listened to since. Well, I am super excited to report that it is back. And it is NOT on Telf’s birthday (observed). If you are interested, get your ass some tickets!! […]

Progression of Metal Show Review

Posted by

Last weekend I packed up the Nikon and headed out to Fairfax for a rock show. I skip lots of local shows and it’s really a pity, but I was determined to make it out to this one. And I was rewarded for my efforts. The show was arranged by members of Iris Divine to […]

Review: Sonata Arctica’s Reckoning Night

Posted by

This is where I review albums that came out a long time ago. Hey, why not? You might not have heard of Sonata Arctica, but in Finland this album topped the charts for a good long while back in 2004. Unlike some symphonic (and power) metal albums I’ve heard, this one does not start quiet […]

Yes – In The Present @ Ram’s Head Live

Posted by

Yes is a band I’ve sort of carried on this detached affair with. I don’t hunt down every news item about them and I don’t collect every single track, despite truly and deeply enjoying the ones I do have. Before heading out to the Ram’s Head last night I noted that about half the set […]

Giving It A Listen

Posted by

You thought maybe you were going to get away with just my brief mention (and ludicrous picture) of the latest Genesis box set, didn’t you. Very silly. Of course I’ve reverently read the booklet now; various personages’ commentary on each album. The one that struck me most thus far was Tony Robinson’s (you probably think […]

Let’s not even begin to discuss the extras. Heaven! That’s not the only early christmas present in this photo, […]

10 Reasons To Try Emusic

Posted by

Jack & I have been sharing an emusic account for over a year now. I’ve downloaded nearly 500 songs and while I haven’t been in love with everything, I’ve found a whole bunch of stuff I wouldn’t have found otherwise. (Thanks to The Abstract Factory for this instruction on how to browse the catalog before […]

Work, music… the same old stuff.

Posted by

I have just had a very intense work day/week. I keep reminding myself that it’s not giving me the dreads, like I have had before with jobs, the kind where you wake up and want to roll over and smoke a cigarette. (Yes, that is gross; it was not a great time in my life, […]

Kiwis, Feet, and Learnin’

Posted by

It’s been an eventful few weeks, even if the events aren’t as big as rock camp or a trip to progday. But “everyday” concerns have been moving forward too. This reminds me, I need to write an about page explaining why I called this blog Prosaic Paradise. Class started! In fact we’ve already dissected a […]
