Whew, I've been neglecting. Hope you haven't been neglecting me! (And if you have, I'll...well, I probably won't do much of anything except squak :-) )
Eclipse on Thursday was more or less of a wash. Too many clouds kept swallowing up the moon, though you could get a decent look at it from time to time, I gave up on waiting (.looking at a black sky isn't too exciting either.)
Speaking of space-type stuff:
Quickie album review: Brave Saint Saturn - "The Light of Things Hoped for..."
Reese Roper is beloved by many for his work with now-defunct ska band Five Iron Frenzy, but these are the kinds of albums he was made for. Guitar-driven pop-rock with space-derivative sound effects sprinkled about, Roper and three other ex-FIF'ers carve out 16 tracks that run the gamut stylistically and emotionally. Highly recommended release.
Fun Fact: Reese gets censored no fewer than three times. Gotta .love Tooth and Nail, eh? :-) Would be interesting to know wh's responsible for that, since it does take away a little from the gravity of the songs.
