I was previously able to update nearly every day because at my old job I had very little to do and lots of time to myself with a good internet connection at my fingertips. My new job is flat out 9-5:30, very slow internet connection (I'm so used to cable now).
So forgive me a little for slow updates. Gigs, band info etc will still come as I get them.
Information
My sources
A lot of the MP3 related news I find via links on slashdot.org, a news/comments site aimed directly at the very nerdy. Lego, Linux, Science, Space, Sex, MP3 etc. Check it out and search for MP3 or Napster for old stories.
mmmm Metal
New band discovery
I discovered Dream Theater the other day after a friend bought me a CD of theirs as a going away present. Fantastic melodic metal band from the US. Lots of guitars, an excellent vocalist, keyboards, drums and bass. Their offical site includes guitar tab!
Their latest CD 'Scenes From A Memory' is a story told in scenes (tracks) all flowing in and out of each other, acoustic, full on solo induced 80's metal, and chord based pop. Check the official page for sound samples.
