Avenged Sevenfold
This album, also bought on a whim, is a 2007 self-titled album from a Favourite artist, and has become a new favourite album from this band.
Listening to the album was a little unpredictable, I had trouble with the first few tracks. After listening to this album for a month (a clear sign I have enjoyed the [...]
Cryptopsy and Nevetherym
These two albums were bought without research. While waiting for an order of CDs to arrive, desperate for something to listen to I picked up a few albums in Wagga.
Cryptopsy – The Unspoken King
Never having heard this band before, I was enticed by a review on the cover; “…time signature blasphemy… bouts of unpredictable musical passages…”. These words are [...]
New Music
As those who follow me on twitter may know, I’m making an effort this year to listen to more new music (new to me, not necessarily new releases). I have found my enjoyment from playing and listening to music has dropped since I left uni, where having access to 30+ other peoples CD collection provided [...]

Completely blown away by the second band, “Jennifer Will Drown“, mostly by the guitarist who effortlessly played complex and beautiful melodies. Hadrien was most impressed by the drummer, who he saw perform with another band recently. The guitarist [...]
Working hard doing nothing

-.-
Last few days have been pretty quiet. Class still uninteresting, 555 is still a disappointment, did pick up one useful thing though, did some reading after one class and figured out how to use the Linux route command. managed to set up my firewall to route local traffic locally, rather than just shoving everything down [...]
Rest
Nice day, after yesterdays hellish events. Caught up on sleep, and played some guitar. Figured out a few Bread (alt) songs (their more up-beat electric guitar tracks).
Got a very quick response from my query on the forum, probably enough to infer the answers to my major queries, I’m a lot more confident about starting the assignment now.
