Thanks for the warning.

Alright, y'all missed it. But for those who are interested it is, apparently, going to be available on demand at the link above, starting tomorrow.

My first impressions are pretty good. It started off with a couple of tracks that sounded like Accelerate leftovers so I was a bit worried that it might just be a copy cat of Accelerator, but it finished off quite strongly with some really great tunes. I'm looking forward to getting to know this one better.


NP - R.E.M.s Monster. I don't listen to this one very often. I thought it was time to take it for a spin although its not their best work IMO.

They've been on auto-buy for me since 1983, but I do appreciate the heads-up.

NP: Blitzen Trapper, "Gold for Bread"

Me too. I've already pre-ordered the new one so I guess it's a good thing that I enjoyed the preview. :)

I'm two spins in, and I'm liking it. Imagine that.
