Treasure Island Preview:
They Couldn’t Think Of Something To Say The Day You Burst

October 13, 2009

Today’s reason to love the Treasure Island Music Festival? That park-in-SF, take-a-bus deal works really well. I’ve heard folks both fearing and lamenting the transportation, but I’ve never had a problem the last two years. (Of course, I get there at noon and leave during the last band’s set…)

The Words That Dribbled Out His Kiss

August 27, 2007

Coheed And Cambria, why do I love thee? Let me count the ways.
1. High singing
2. Concept albums
3. Lyrics that seem to make little sense until you read them. Then they make less sense.
4. Lots of colons, like the song The Willing Well III: Apollo II: The Telling Truth from the album Good [...]
