I'm seeing DT and Opeth this Saturday as part of the Progressive Nation Tour, and needless to say, I'm excited as balls. It's going to be a helluva concert, and I fully expect to die of joy during it. These reviews only enhance the anticipation!

A couple of weeks ago, I went to see Airbourne live (and what a show that was!). The two opening bands were very cool as well. Stonerider is a cross between GN'R, Hendrix-style wah-pedal playing, and glam metal. EndeverafteR is more of a metal band, with ridiculously catchy glam metal choruses...

It all depends on what I'm doing. Usually, if I'm just at home and moving around, studying, reading, writing, etc, I'll just listen to my entire library on shuffle - my attention is divided anyway. But when I'm walking to school or traveling or something, where my music is my main source of...

Alcohol never seems to last long around me. What started out as an innocent night with some friends on Sunday night ended up downing an entire 40 of vodka. So much fun!

You can pull a Ryan from the Office and rattle off as many as you need until one sticks. Keep 'em in your smartphone. Look alive, intoflatlines.

Yay for justice in Calgary! Although it saddens me that there are ******* like that in the first place... I guess that's what you get when you expand so much.

McGill University: English - Cultural Studies concentration I love it, but I can't wait to be done! One short more year to go...

Lately, for whatever reason, I've been focusing a lot on the music scene on the West Coast in the US, specifically stuff coming out of San Francisco and LA and the surrounding areas. I was thinking tonight that I really like the catchy punk that's come out of there after the hardcore movement (I...

6559 songs, mostly at 224 kbps VBR. I'm so close to 7000! Oh, and I can't wait to see Opeth live on May 10th in Calgary! Opeth and Dream Theater in one night is going to blow my f'ing brains into the sky. If the show is anything like the Roundhouse Tapes, I'm going to die very happily

I looked up schedules on VIA, and it's less appealing for three reasons: first, it costs more than flying (!), so if I'm going to pay $300, may as well get there in four hours. Second, as someone mentioned before, it only goes Montreal/Toronto to Edmonton, so I have to buy a bus ticket to...

I'm making travel arrangements to go home for the summer, and I decided that at the end of this term, I'm going to do something I've been wanting to do for a while: travel across Canada on the highway. I was originally going to rent a car with a friend and drive from Montreal to Calgary, but he...

I've bought and upgraded a few albums to iTunes+, and I have to say, I'm thankful that there isn't more selection, or else, my wallet would be in trouble! I like the convenience of buying/downloading off iTunes, and 256kbps is fine for me on my rig - I can't differentiate between that and...

I did an easy upgrade from Tiger a couple of weeks after Leopard came out, and everything is running sweet. It runs much faster and cleaner than Tiger did, especially since 10.5.2 and the Graphics Update. Now Spaces, Dashboard and Stacks animate super smoothly, even when I'm pegging my CPU at...

GMail through Mail... sometimes it craps out on me and I have to quit Mail, but that's rare. I do have one problem with Mail, though: whenever I do try and quit it, it just sits there, so I have to force-quit it. It's not the biggest deal, but I do wonder why.

What's the consensus for SQ through the line out? Any difference there?

I just came back from Futureshop, where I played with both the Touch and the Classic. I was pretty impressed with the Touch's UI... it was super smooth and responsive. I obviously didn't have much time to try everything out, and I would like to see how it responds when it has more than 20 albums...

I have a soccer game in the evening, Lost at night, and studying for a midterm in the wee hours of the morning planned for Valentine's Day. Thankfully, this is the first year in a while that I'm single for Valentine's Day (denial's a powerful thing... haha)

Yeah, I guess the Classic is the way to go for now, at least until flash prices decline and sizes increase. I don't mind having to take the Touch out of my pocket to control it, and I don't own a pair of gloves for the winter (except for snowboarding, and those are mitts), so the touch interface...

So, it's almost that time of the year again, when my mind turns to getting a new iPod. My 5G 60GB was served me faithfully for the past two years, but the newer iPods are really testing my resolve to not break out the credit card. I find myself in times of trouble, though: I'm torn between...

I use Redken shampoo and conditioner. It's a little more expensive, but a small bottle lasts me like 3 or 4 months, and I have shoulder-length hair. It really makes my hair smooth and shiny (a lot of girls have commented on it)

I picked it up on Tuesday, and even though I haven't given it too many listens so far, I like it. I think my favourite song may be "Same Girl"

Probably Hendrix's Are You Experienced?, with Floyd's Piper at the Gates of Dawn coming in close second.
