Trans-Siberian Orchestra

Last weekend was Trans-Siberian Orchestra in Seattle at Key Arena.  They started their set with a song from their new album Night Castle.  The Christmas Story was interspersed with more songs than i remember in the past.

 

Circuit Freq Records

A year ago i ran across this great track called Black Chrome by Circuit Freq.  This track was introduced to the world by Felix Da Housecat.  The track is the best club banger in some time.  Who are Circuit Freq?   According to the Circuit Freq Records posting they are either “Ancient Keyboards from before the Death of Analog” or “Producers who fake being “anonymous” in order to get more hype and then presumably famous because of said hype” or “Two Estonian high-school age hackers who mod-ed out their musician Dad’s old analog gear to use it to make this insane music”.  Who they really are is a mystery.  A quick Google search returns more theories than these.  We do know Circuit Freq know how to make some kick-ass tunes.  Here is their first single that started it all.

An Introduction

Music is hard work. To be more precise, good music is hard work. Quality is hard work. Why is my opinion about music worthwhile. I am expert first and foremost. Nobody understands my musical opinions quite like me. I enjoy good music no matter the genre. I have diverse tastes. A lot of people i've met in my life will claim they listen to just about anything. I listen to a lot more than most of even that group. I'll check out groups not just because they were recommended but because i've not heard them before.

Now why you might be interested in my opinions. I have a massive music collection; about 18,000 albums in formats from vinyl, CD, music store downloads. I've run a music FTP. I've attended around 150 concerts ranging from the Eagles, Prince, Justin Timberlake, Korn, Ozzy, Chevelle, Kenny Chesney, Kenna, Peter Frampton, Journey, Big Bad Voodoo Daddy, Tiesto, BT, Tom Petty, Montgomery Gentry, etc. I have a tour shirt from almost every concert. I selected a digital camera based on the quality of pictures i could take at concerts. I have bootlegs of some shows including video and audio. I am a member of the official Street Teams for 4 bands. I'm a DJ with club, party, wedding, and church function experience. My dream job would be a tour manager for a band doing world tours.
