Puddleglum Music

First, Demon Hunter’s The World is a Thorn arrived in the mail last week.  The album is great overall; interestingly enough, looking at Demon Hunter’s discography, I feel that The Triptych may be their weakest album overall (although it’s still a great album).  I’m pretty evenly split on how I feel about the first two versus the last two, however.  I got into Demon Hunter primarily because Jesse Sprinkle is one of my favorite drummers of all time, so I was disappointed when he left; while Yogi is a great drummer, his style isn’t as interesting as Jesse’s, but I feel he’s come into his own with the band, through the last two albums.

Second, Jen and I are going to see As I Lay Dying, with special guests Demon Hunter, at the Cactus Courtyard here in Lubbock on May 2.  This will be the second time we’ve seen Demon Hunter (first was at the 2008 Red Letter Rock Fest in Snyder, TX; pictures here) and the first to see As I Lay Dying.  Although I’m not super familiar with their music, I’ve started listening to them more and am pretty impressed.

Third, if you hop on over the the What I’m Listening To page, you’ll see updates to Last.fm.  I’ve been using the Xbox 360 app again, and it’s been a pleasant experience.  Now I just need to get my Zune Social and Pandora stuff onto the website, and I’ll be all set.

That’s it for now.  Later!
