I'm listening to boarding calls through a rough PA system.

I am stuck in Logan airport as my flight to Toronto is canceled and the next flight is an hour late.

Music video for Hesta Prynn's "Can We Go Wrong"

I like the song, and the video is kind of cool. Better than anything I'd make.

Kenny Wayne Shepherd ... 'Live In Chicago'

Hey, I was gonna pick that up! What's the review?

Really good so far Mark although I'm only on the fourth song, 'Deja Voodoo' ... his playing sounds spot on so far.

Have you listened to Eric Clapton's new disc 'Clapton'?

No...I haven't. I've lost a bit of interest in Clapton over the years. I feel like he just keeps rehashing blues standards!

And he continued with this disc, I was unimpressed.

The KWS Live disc is very good but not great ... Bryan Lee and a couple of the other guys from his '10 Days Out' disc play and it almost seems like a continuation of that disc.

It's definitely a keeper though.

Therion. A rather interesting band I've been sampling the past couple of nights. An interesting eclectic mix of classical, metal & opera with fantastic voicing. It all works. Here's a review I found of their album "Vovin". Rather long but the writer articulates the bands strenghts rather well.

Good call on Therion I’ve been listening to them and other similar groups for quite a while. Posted this a while back, but I think the O Fortuna link is removed now.

There are many Symphonic metal and Gothic metal bands who are also appealing:

Links to lists of bands of those genres are near the bottom of each page.

Perhaps more useful is Last.fm’s list of similar artists in the middle of the page:

Thanks for the additional links Grunt. I'll check all of these out this week. Love this genre of music, calling me...hard to explain. It seems to draw on your soul, your emotions. Also, I think a while back you listed some other bands of interest one of which was Edenbridge. Thanks to that referral I picked up "My Earths Dream" and their latest "Solitaire. Sabine's vocal presentation is rather compelling...the entire band is compelling.

Update: Amazon.com will be sending me Therion's "Vovin" in 3 days.
