Just got John Mayer's "where the light is" concert on blu-ray, we'll check this out tonight.

The Moody Blues - Lovely to See You Live (Blu-ray)
The Concretes - The Concretes
The Eames Era - Double Dutch
Bis - Return to Central

I've been kind of distracted while listening to all of these. The Moody Blues performance was pretty good from what I was able to watch, and the audio was great. I look forward to a lot more concerts being put onto Blu-ray. I've never been huge into the Moody Blues, but my sister was way into them back in the high school/college era, and I liked them well enough to get their Blu-ray after reading a really good review. Now if I can just get every band I like to release concert Blu-rays.

I think I like both Victoria Bergsman and The Concretes better after they went their separate ways. The Taken By Trees album, Open Field, and the Concretes album, Hey Trouble, are both great, Taken By Trees being Victoria's solo project and Hey Trouble being the first Concretes album with new lead vocalist Lisa Milberg. So I would recommend both of those albums for now, but who knows, maybe the other Concretes albums will grow on me.

The first Eames Era CD I listened to, Heroes + Sheroes, did eventually grow on me enough that I wanted to hear their other stuff. I think this album will take me a little while to process, too.

And with Bis, again I'll have to give it some time before I decide.

Since I'm in Ireland on business (3 weeks down, 1 to go), I got to hear a group of "very happy" people singing outside until 4am...

Not even M80s could make that sound good.

Earlier I had the new U2 remasters of Boy, October and War on. Another solid remastering job - and those early records definitely needed them. I just finished listening to Tool's Lateralus. I haven't listened to it in a while, and this was the first time on the M60s. Wow. Man I love these speakers.

Currently listening to Mazzy Star, "She Hangs Brightly." I only recently became aware of this 90's band. They only released three albums...I've purchased two...the other I purchased was "So Tonight That I might See." Audio quality is very good, too...BTW.

"So Tonight That I Might See" has been one of my favorite albums. Good stuff all the way through. Hope Sandoval also released a solo album.

I keep meaning to try Mazzy Star out, but I get easily distracted.

Cool, Pandora just played two of my favorite songs back-to-back, "Enter Sandman" and "Everlong".

thumbs up for "Everlong"!

Everlong. Isn't that an extra-strength version of viagra that you can only find on the black market because it leaves your brain with inadequate blood flow?
