I have a confession to make. I bought the Beyoncé Blu-ray, The Beyoncé Experience Live. I've kind of been starving for high-definition concert discs, and it was a low enough price that I thought I'd try it out. I've only watched her perform a few songs so far, but I have to admit she's pretty entertaining. I'm fairly oblivious to popular music, so I didn't really know what to expect. Overall, I'd say her act is too "produced," but I have to give her props for her high standard in that style of performing. Her energy and attitude was making me crack up. Oh, and when I say that something makes me laugh, I'm not making fun of it.

I know, I know, I could have gotten the Foo Fighters Blu-ray instead, but her dress was all sparkly.

Goth Metal Heads: Within Temptation's "Black Symphony DVD" has called me again. Lead singer Sharon Den Adel is captivating in this production from the Netherlands. One of Europe's top bands... head banging theater maybe. The orchestra and riffs mesh brillantly. Just wish I had a pair of M80's for the full throttle effect. Best concert LFE I've heard to date.

I've read a couple of reviews of that Blu-ray, and it sounded like it would be fun to watch. Maybe if they release it domestically, but who knows if that's even a remote possibility.

Dark Side Of The Moon (SACD) - fantastic sound on the Axioms. I'll have to get more of these SACD's just to hear something out of the ordinary

Listening to The Beatles “Acoustic Masterpieces: The Esher Demos”



I think it sounds great too.

Just listened to a collection of songs by Heinz Rudolf Kunze. He’s very good if you like German pop/rock.

Now up is Vivaldi’s “Concert for the Prince of Poland” Wow! Got to love Vivaldi

Slightly under the influence and listening to a compilation called
"Audio's Audiophile Vol. 2 - Bass Power" Through my M60's and an Ep500.

All over the musical place and so good!!!

Jaymay and Laura Marling again.

Eat a Peach - The Allman Brothers

Listening to “Tales of Mystery and Imagination”- The Alan Parsons Project.

As much as I like APP I had never listened to this. Now I’m glad I have, but I can tell headphones aren’t doing it justice and will have to give it another listen when my speakers are all up and running again.
