Typically you see younger bands covering songs originally recorded by artists who've been around for decades but once in a while just the opposite happens and produces a comparison that's just as interesting.

Phil Collins Trumps Paul McCartney in Mega-Divorce

Seven-year marriage to a woman young enough to be your daughter: $46.68 million dollars
Enough romantic angst to fill at least three more solo albums: Priceless

Sorry, Phil... I can't help myself.

Iraq shows progressive side - first nation in the Middle East to offer gay marriages


Okay, not really.  But I like my tagline for this photo better than CNN's.

I've been so busy I can barely think straight.  We're still on heavy overtime at work.  I even put in some hours this past Friday, which was technically a paid holiday.  Outside of work, I've also been a fair number of hours helping a friend expand their online store in the world of "Second Life".  Thanksgiving came and went way too quickly and now Christmas is looming.  I have to decorate at home.  I have to send out cards and a few gifts to friends.  I have to shop for gifts for my family.  I need to get to work on a story for the Gathering 2008 Anthology.  :: flails ::

Two highlights of the holiday weekend:  I had ordered CD recordings of the two Genesis concerts that I'd attended, and those arrived on Friday.  They sound fantastic, and I've already stored the Cleveland show as MP3s on my home PC.   The other happy moment was getting new artwork from [info]cinsangel on Sunday night.  If you're reading this, thanks again for the sketch of my favorite fanfic character. :)

Speaking of fandom stuff... I heard that the first issue of the "Gargoyles: Bad Guys" comic book is due to be on the shelves this Thursday.  So I need to make plans to get hold of that.  And I still haven't gotten the corrected reprint of the last issue of the "Gargoyles" comic.  I'll probably have to order that from Amazon.com or SLG. 

Anyway... back to the grind now.

P.S. - Is there a way to convince Windows XP that I really, really do NOT want Internet Exploder 8 installed as an automatic update, so do NOT "ask me again later" plzkthxbai?

Filmed in Dusseldorf, Germany:



CD sets of all of the North American shows are now available from TheMusic.com. I'm planning to get the recordings from Cleveland and both shows in L.A.

"...fucking rain!" :)

I'm the only one awake so far this morning at [info]crzydemona's house.  The Genesis concert last night was a blast, despite the fact that the entire L.A. area got crazy rained on last night for the first time in months.  By the end, Tony Banks' keyboards were shorting out and everyone else on stage was just as drenched as the audience, so we didn't get the encore of "We Can't Dance" and "Carpet Crawlers" that I saw in Cleveland.  Some of the fireworks at the end of "Invisible Touch" malfunctioned, too.  I bet there were a few people in the right side lower boxes who needed clean underwear.  But the show was still amazing and I really had a great time... though probably not quite as good a time as the guys across the aisle who were adding some herbal enhancement to their evening.  I tell you, the smell of pot smoke took me right back to college. :P

Heading to Disneyland today if the weather cooperates and everyone else wakes up. ;)

"Well if there's one thing you can count on at a Genesis concert, it's fucking rain.  Ooh, Genesis is playing outdoors - rain!" - Phil Collins, immediately after "In the Cage", Hollywood Bowl on 10/12/06.

Leaving for the airport in about two hours for a trip to Los Angeles, to visit [info]crzydemona and see Genesis at the Hollywood Bowl.  I'm packing up the laptop shortly, so my next post will be from California. :)

The Genesis concert last night was FUCKING AWESOME.  The played over two dozen songs in over two and a half hours without any intermission.  The speakers were set on eleven... ZOMG my ears are still ringing.  The lighting and backdrop effects were amazing, and I've never been to a concert where the other fans are so friendly.   I can't wait to see this show again in L.A. in two weeks. :D
