Oh my sweet rapture

Song in my head:
"Rapture" by Pedro the Lion

The post-Thanksgiving Day Prophecy was correct: I didn't leave the house during the day yesterday. Did some research and reviewed an interview I did back in July.

Received Everything (A Book About Manic Street Preachers) by Simon Price yesterday. I've read the first two chapters and already it's hard to put it down. When I wasn't reading, writing or researching, I strung up Christmas lights in the TV room. I have to get some more lights (I only had two strands). Christmas will be in full bloom this season for me.

Saw The Firebird Band last night and am planning on seeing them again tonight. Shall be a good time.

This movie looks very interesting. I hope it gets a screening down here or gets released on DVD soon.

You may hear “Black Metallic” or “Waydown” on a “classic alternative” show on Sirius or XM or maybe even on terrestrial radio, but that’s about it. For me, they were one of most consistent rock bands of the ’90s, meandering through shoegazer, hard rock, space rock and pop rock, all while eluding mainstream pigeonholing. Led by the smooth, warm pipes of vocalist/guitarist Rob Dickinson (cousin of Iron Maiden’s Bruce Dickinson), Catherine Wheel featured Brian Futter on lead guitar, Dave Hawes on bass and Neil Sims on drums. They weren’t a pretty-boy guitar band, but they weren’t a scuzzy bunch of ragamuffins either. Though the band hailed from England, Catherine Wheel found itself more welcome on American air...
