This and that
Published by Jonathan October 19th, 2005 in Misc, MusicThe last few days have been so nice here that I’ve been going outside for lunch. After a hot September (10 degrees farenheit about average!) and a wet and gloomy first two weeks of October (5 inches of rain in one day!) it looks as though fall has finally arrived. I love sitting outside in the sun with a cool breeze and a book. The campus here is pretty as well… I should bring my camera to work one of these days.
As I suffer from seasonal depression (self-diagnosed) I try to enjoy this time as much as I can before the sun disappears and the air gets frigid. Funny, I never knew how much I needed sunlight until I moved here from California.
Speaking of gloom… I received Opeth’s latest album Ghost Reveries for my birthday this past weekend. Its an awesome album (of course!) but if you are a longtime fan, be forewarned… this album is quite different. I don’t want to be too critical and scare off any new fans so perhaps I’ll have to give the album a full review later. One thing I must mention… Mikael’s voice sounds amazing! He must have had some coaching sessions or something… on “Hours of Wealth” his voice is absolutely magical.
Also, be sure to pre-order your copy of Neal Morse’s latest ?. It will be released November 1st.

(I think the seasonal depression thingy runs in the family!)
Seriously though, I saw Opeth’s album in the store last week & was wondering if it was any good. Guess I have to go buy it now!
