Oops! I forgot to add the gifts my good friend and brother Dan (aka Transient Soul) bestowed upon me this weekend:

BLOODGOOD - Bloodgood
BLOODGOOD - Detonation

I've never heard them, so TS gave me his original copies! The first two are a 2-on-1 KMG re-issue with none of the tracks missing like so many of those packages.

Wow! That was FAST, man!

My experience with them is that they have always been slow on shipping...

And what do you think?

haha, I knew you would ask so I quickly burned it and loaded to the MP3 as I dashed off to work. Now I almost always play my MP3 on shuffle, so I have not heard the whole album yet nor in the context of the album (I shall do this later today)

But of the 7 or so songs I heard so far, I like it.

But the fact that I like it has stirred up a twinge of self-consciousness in me LOL

No, it is kinda cool so far. The songs seem stronger at first listen, he retains his Ozzy coolness while seemingly standing a bit out on his own as well.

The tuneage definitely has some moments!

Overall I think I am going to be digging this

I thought you might. I need to give it some more listens and then give it another review...

AEROSMITH - Classics Live (remaster)
IRON MAIDEN - The X Factor (remaster)

Where and how?

I have had that since it was released. Did you get the cd with bonus track? That is a great album. Total classic. I have NEW BIRTH as well which is a very different record but still cool. You do know Mass is still going right?

Today MEANS will be arriving along with the WITHIN cd (which I already love).

I will likely be picking up the new Relient K as well. The fam are big fans.

My kids like reliant.

what are they?

My ticket to the HEAVEN AND HELL/MEGADETH show here in Phoenix on April 22nd!!!

Relient are modern with the punkish influence. In the vein of Saves The Day, etc

I will give them this. They know how to write a catchy tune, they are very witty, and for a youth group band the lyrics are VERY clever and have some depth upon reflection. In fairness to the band I think they are shedding the youth group boundaries but they still are geared toward the younger set. However, I find them to carry a certain charm

cool - good to know.

my 16 year old said - "They're Christian?" like it was weird. . . hmmmmm

she is a teenager. . .

Picked up some new books:

Beowulf - Anonymous (new verse bilingual translation by Seamus Heaney)

Won the cassette on eBay for $7. I'm sure that it'll be cheesy early metal But I'll let you know.

Also got - Dracma - Perfect Creation

Oh make no mistake about it - it's very cheesy metal! But they do have the distinction of being the very first Intense Records release. I still have the vinyl for that very reason

IRON MAIDEN - A Matter of Life and Death
