A Couple of Shows, Past Due

So, at the end of September I went to see Coheed and Cambria play their second album "In Keeping Secrets of Silent Earth" in its entirety, because they were on tour celebrating its 10th anniversary. What an amazing show! I've seen them four times now, and they are always a tight band. Their opening band was actually surprisingly great, as well, "Thank You, Scientist" who are on the band's record label.

  1. Prelude 
  2. Feed the Horses 
  3. Carnival 
  4. In the Company of Worms 
  5. My Famed Disappearing Act 


I can remember way back in the day, now, 10 years ago, listening to this album after buying it at Bull Moose. There was just something about their sound and the entire story behind the band and their songs, albums, etc. that I gravitated towards and fell in love with immediately.



  1. Main Set
  2. The Ring in Return 
  3. In Keeping Secrets of Silent Earth: 3 
  4. Cuts Marked in the March of Men 
  5. Three Evils (Embodied in Love and Shadow) 
  6. The Crowing 
  7. Blood Red Summer 
  8. The Camper Velourium I: Faint of Hearts 
  9. The Camper Velourium II: Backend of Forever 
  10. The Camper Velourium III: Al the Killer 
  11. A Favor House Atlantic 
  12. The Light & the Glass 
  13. Encore:
  14. 21:13 
  15. Encore 2:
  16. Neverender 
  17. Goodnight, Fair Lady 
  18. Number City 
    (with Thank You Scientist)
  19. Encore 3:
  20. Ten Speed (Of God's Blood and Burial) 
  21. Welcome Home 
And then, the following weekend, my girlfriend and I went to see The Airborne Toxic Event, whom I had seen previously a couple of years ago and was blown away by the great live performance. This time around they still did a great job performing, even despite the fact that the singer had laryngitis. It was an early show and ended around 9:30 at night, which I never thought I'd be thankful for, but I guess that's what being in your 30s means now.

Two Great Films, and more to Pass the Time

"We Need to Talk About Kevin" starring: Tilda Swinton, John C. Reilly, Ezra Miller, Jasper Newell, Rocky Duer, Ashley Gerasimovich, Siobhan Fallon Hogan, Alex Manette, James Chen written and directed by: Lynne Ramsay Remember when The Who sang "The Kids are Alright"? Yea, this film proves that is not the case as it attempts to define nature versus nurture versus just plain evil (and are you simply born that way). This is a modern American (almost strictly American, by the way) horror story. One all too real in the wake of Columbine and all subsequent mass killings (at schools, specifically) since that awful day. We always struggle to understand why things like that happen and how they got this way, what drives someone to murder. This is the story of a boy-turned-teenager through the eyes of his mother, and her struggle with raising him and then answering for his crime. Swinton, as Eva, is flat-out amazing. Since much of the film unfolds in flashback wit

Best Albums of 2020 (The Year that Almost Wasn't, if it Wasn't for Music Saving Us All)

 Well, well, well. We've come to the end of a very strange, long trip of a year. 2020. Who would have guessed that such a year would bring such incredible music, honestly. Artists and musicians in isolation found ways to impress us with their creativity and produced some of their best work to date. And it allowed me to find some amazing new artists and bands. I had a lot of time to sit or walk or hike with new music and found a way to appreciate it all. I've grown to appreciate country, of all genres, over the years, and I suppose that has a lot to do with my adoration of the one and only Taylor Swift (who began as a country artist only to emerge a few years ago into the most incredible pop star perhaps several generations has ever seen. Regardless, I've grown to appreciate solid, well-crafted country songs and I'm not ashamed of it. Albeit, 95% of what I enjoy happens to be female country singers (because let's face it, that southern accent just kind of does it for
