I’m not gonna lie – I was SO excited when Victoria Grace Howell nominated me for this blog tag (thank you, Tori!) that this was my reaction.
OK, maybe that’s an exaggeration… But music is one of my many loves in life, along with writing, books, and tea. So if you’re a music fan as well, fair warning: This post features YouTube videos. It also features links to more YouTube videos. I tried not to go overboard… but you still might be here a while. 😉
First, like any blog tag, let’s start with…
Finally getting around to the next part of my retrospective! We’re halfway through the countdown of my 20 favorite artists that I’ve covered at Sonic Cathedral over the past 5 years. If you’ve missed the first two installments, now’s a great time to catch up:
Part 1: Artists #20 through #16
Part 2: Artists #15 through #11
Which means that today I’ll reveal the first half of my top 10. 😉 And remember that you can catch the daily version of the countdown at my official Facebook page.
Hello, everyone!
As I had mentioned during a recent post, I was a surprise caller during Avariel’s appearance on Citywide Blackout on Saturday, November 19. An audio archive of the show is now available on the Citywide Blackout blog.

Avariel is on during the show’s first hour. The host interviews the band and plays a number of songs from Avariel’s debut album, The Dawn. My phone call comes in around the 44-minute mark.
Enjoy!

Good evening!
I’ve finally posted more poems on the “My Poetry” page. (Click here to visit “My Poetry,” or click on “My Poetry” in sidebar menu.) Although these pieces may be new to some of you, they were published in an anthology almost 2 years ago. But, better late than never, right? Continue reading
Hello! And a very belated Happy New Year to you!
Between the final holidays of 2010 and a crazy start to 2011, I haven’t had much time to update this site. My apologies for that. Hopefully today’s updates will make up for that. 🙂
I’ve partially “revamped” my Writing for Sonic Cathedral page. The 2010 reviews page is finally completed, and a new link has been added for a 2011 reviews page. I’ve also moved all my interview links to a dedicated interviews page. Click any of the hotlinks you see in this paragraph to see the changes for yourself.
What can you expect to find when you go these pages? Continue reading
So 2010 has come and gone – which means it’s time for those ever popular end-of-the-year lists! So Sonic Cathedral recently posted its best-of-2010 list. And what an interesting list it is. It features a healthy mix of veteran musicians (Arjen Lucassen, Tristania, and Tarja) and popular newcomers (Diabulus in Musica, Seven Kingdoms, Magion, The Mariana Hollow). Click here to see who made the cut!
Also, here is my overall Top 10 list for 2010. Continue reading
