From their recent show in Las Vegas. Kangtabel from YouTube had the awesome luck of being there AND recording the new stuff; the sound quality's awful (about what you'd expect from a cellphone vid), but hopefully you can catch enough to know that Eclipse is gonna be one frakkin' AWESOME album. Also, they've FINALLY added … Continue reading FINALLY…Journey previews the new album, Eclipse!

Journey giving preview of new album at Planet Hollywood May 24!!! SQUEEEEE!! (okay, okay, gimme a break, I've had so few things to go squeeeing about lately.) Then THIS quote caught my eye: "The album incorporates Hindu principles of Tantra, "the belief that life is kind of a weave, a circle of energy, a life … Continue reading Jonathan talks about new Journey album

BOTH out of reach of the … Continue reading Uummmm….

So I posted the episodes (after two tries and over 18 hours of upload time for 3.5 GB of files -- I suspect my ISP is throttling our connection because we also play WoW).  The folks on said board were thanking me for the time & effort & asking … Continue reading Otaku part 2.
