What's blowing my mind these days...

Ok well I wanted to be fancy & post some pictures here but Blogger is working out some bugs I guess.

Anyhow~

SKINNY PUPPY IS BACK!
I've recently purchased "Mythmaker" released a week or so ago. It's fan-freakin-tastic. I'm so bloody happy that the band I was crazy about in high school (in my goth days no less) has managed to take it up a notch & completely obliterate my eardrums to twitchy synth awe inspiring sounds. I mean I was happy with Download (the side project) but to hear Key & Ogre back together is....pure magic!

DINOSAUR JR IS PLAYING AT THE ODEON!
Yes!! I know...all of you must be saying "Holy shite, Natty's gonna combust! How can she witness this stoner rock beauty unfold?!" They're playing May 27th. Tickets are purchased...now all I have to do is wait. My god, it's also the ORIGINAL LINEUP! (sorry about all the "yelling" I'm just that excited!) I can't believe I'm gonna see J Mascis & Low Barlow in the flesh...rumour has it, Priestess & The Sword may open. AH!!!!!!!!!

K now hang on for this one....

THE GATHERING IS PLAYING IN EDMONTON!
*breathe* I didn't think it would be possible to knock off the #1 & 2 spots of my "must see perform before I die" list in a span of 1 month. Now I'm still unable to find posting of this on Ticketmaster or Pollstar, but sources are telling me they are playing with Lacuna Coil both in Edmonton & Calgary. *cross fingers* I don't need to explain how huge this is for me if you know who I am! Let's hope to god this pulls through.

In smaller news....

Lots of new music coming out I'm supremely stoked for:

Mar 27
Machinehead - The Blackening *it's been 4 years since the last one. This one PUMMELS, the sticker on the front of the album claims "An epic trash attack for the new millenium, heavier than a ten ton hammer & guaranteed to burn your ears black" What more do you need? Check out the making of the album, it's hilarious! The naming of the songs made me think of good old days at HMV. http://www.machinehead1.com/media/Album_Preview_High.asx

Apr 3
Chevelle- Vena Sera *the single is kicking my ass...check it out at http://www.chevelleinc.com/
Idlewild - Make Another World *this makes me miss Jono. What do you think of it? It's different but I like it! http://www.myspace.com/idlewild

May 1
BRMC - Baby 81 - I'm happy to hear them rock it out again. The new album is going to kick it huge! I love that guitar riff in the single "Weapon of choice", & in headphones this is gonna be AWESOME! http://www.blackrebelmotorcycleclub.com/

I LOVE MUSIC!

Rock it OUT!!

So I just brought home the newest release (March 6th) from Medeski, Martin & Wood entitled Out Louder.
It has the pleasure of featuring John Scofield. What a guitar GOD! The album is so different yet the same...with Medeski's classic jazz organ sounds that make you wanna sip cocktails in Shumon's appt, to the blissed out jam of Scofield's mastery...I'm in LOVE. It's been awhile that an album has wowed me. Thank you boys, you never let Natty down.

PS Bobert if you're reading this...I cannot wait to share this one with you!
