New music and the Coach

I did get to Best Buy yesterday to pick up Metallica's Black Album. That disc has aged really well. But I also picked up a disc by a new band that has me really excited. The band is called Coheed & Cambria, and the disc is called In Keeping Secrets of Silent Earth:3. If you think the title sounds kind of like prententious prog rock from the 70's, you're on the right track. These guys sound like Rush, if Rush was just starting out now and had been raised on a steady diet of Metallica and punk. It's almost like if Geddy Lee was the lead singer of Hoobastank. I know that description probably turns off just about everybody who will read this, but that's OK. C&C is one of the 75 bands on this summer's Warped Tour, so they'll win some new fans on their own.

So I'm off to the first game of the year for the Blast (the team that I'm helping to coach). After raining all day yesterday, it's gorgeous today. Hopefully, the boys play well, but as long as they enjoy themselves, that's all that's important. I'll have a report later today on how the game goes.
