Today, I was cruising around the many new music artists here on Vox. I came across this song, One Way Place by Ostracoda. Into the second verse, I look down and notice I'm air guitaring. Since when do I air guitar, I thought to myself. I was shocked and awed.
Have a listen, One Way Place - Ostracoda.

Linkin Park: Official Site | Last.fm | MySpace | Wikipedia
The new issue of Wired magazine is out. There is an amazing article about Linkin Park's lead singer Chester Bennington. The article gives full detail about the hell he and his wife went through recently with a cyberstalker. From how it started, the cast of people brought in to finder the stalker to where the stalker worked, it's a damn good read.
That said, I picked up Linkin Park's newest album Minutes To Midnight. It starts off strong and keeps going. I love how after the first track, they weren't afraid to change out fast tunes with slow ones. Too many bands put heavy tunes up front and then around track five everything comes to a screeching halt. I also like the look of the packaging and the booklet inside. They, along with several other bands, are on the Projekt Revolution Tour 2007. The tour will be headed my way later this summer, but I haven't decided if I'll be going, yet, maybe...possibly.

This will be my first time seeing both of them live in person. I got my ticket last night.

The plight of global warming has been attracting Americans' attention more and more. Austin TX is one the few cities calling for change on how we live our lives. It started earlier this year at South by Southwest when the conference announced it was going carbon neutral. Next, here is a gallery of photos featured in a CNET news story this week, "Austin builds on green concepts". And coming up next month is a special event at the Alamo Drafthouse Downtown, Mayor WILL WYNN Live: Austin Climate Presentation.
Let's go America, get off your ass!
That is of course if some Americans could pull their head out of their asses.

This Monday night (May 21st) is quickly approaching and the Alamo Drafthouses have made a last minute decision to throw TV parties for the season finales for both 24 & Heroes.
With the Heroes season final being only one hour, I've decided to attend the two hour season final for 24.
As for the other major season final taking place next week, on Wednesday night (May 23rd), there is a TV party for the season final for LOST.

The Alamo Drafthouse Cinema has posted the June 2007 calendar for the final month at its original location, "Downtown" at 409 Colorado Street. They will be going out in style with a triple feature on the final night of Wednesday, June 27th. Both beer and tears are bound to flow.
Taking a quick look over the calendar, I've come up with my initial "must attend" list of events. I'm sure I'll be making some additions/changes. The Alamo will probably have some last minute schedule changes.

The Austin City Limits Music Festival 2007 official lineup is online. Once again, as always, the diversity of the musical lineup is impressive. This is what makes ACL Fest so special compared to the other major music festivals in America. I already purchased my three day pass a month ago. Here's an initial list of "must see" acts for me.
Additions and changes are bound to happen.
