I probably don't spend enough time as I should here pimping my ass as a music journalist (as opposed to a layabout who watches too much TV) but occassionaly, something happens that's worth mentioning and today, it's the Slaves to Gravity tour. They've been around for a while now but my personal feeling is that they're not given the attention they deserve.
I know you all do exactly what I say because I am the Diabolical One and you shall pay dearly in the afterlife if you don't, so if you've not already checked it out, their album Scatter the Crow is widely available. Go buy it - and then get your ass to one of these places:

Lecture over.
Made a cool new friend this morning. Paul over at PS Publishing (www.pspublishing.co.uk) was kind enough to unleash his industry wisdom with regards to I, Wendigo. That bit's of no interest to you but for afficiandos of cool editions of good books, check out the site, there's lots of goodies up for grabs.
More later... work to do...
