Re: RIP Warrel Dane
What a bummer! You’re not wrong about Into the Mirror Black. I bought it a few years ago to prepare for Sanctuary’s Japan tour and was surprised by how much of it I remembered. Such a Carman album! See the rest here

RIP Warrel Dane
Was just rocking out with some Nevermore and Sanctuary—he was a talented guy. So sad.
(Also, pop on Into the Mirror Black and tell me you don’t immediately feel like you should be drinking a tall boy in Carman). See the rest here
Game changer
Revolver Magazine just launched a new series that they call “Game Changers,” and the debut piece is a good one: Deftones talking about the making of “Around The Fur.” They make mention of Our Old Best Friend Terry Date, and what happened there. Check it out. See the rest here
OMG QUICKSAND
Quicksand are touring the US this fall. I’ve managed to see them live on three separate occasions (twice post-breakup), and they’re still as feral as ever.

I am in (drum)hog heaven
Holy crap: Danny Carey sat in premier Genesis tribute band The Musical Box the other night! Am I stoked that this clip is of the song “Can-Utility And The Coastliners”? Not exactly… but I’ll take what I can get.
(By the way, if I haven’t yet extolled the virtues of The Musical Box: they are absolutely amazing live. See the rest here
What a lucky man he was
I’ve been listening to “Brain Salad Surgery” on repeat for the past week. Greg Lake’s passing last week is for me the most personal in a year of artistic losses. Check out this final interview, and tell me you don’t feel it.

Re: Holy crap
I agree. Wow. Didn’t think they could still thrash like that. Also, isn’t it the perfect song for this crazy election year (and already the hottest year on record)? See the rest here
