Ah..I see I need to update that old .sig.  Forgot about that!

What do you think about Porcupine Tree?   I've been needlessly obsessed with
the "Deadwing" album for some reason.  I keep going back to "Arriving
Somewhere, Not Here."

"Snakes and Arrows" was really good.   I think "Vapor Trails" was great
too..only because we were lucky the band got back together after Neil's
tragedies.   Speaking of which...Vapor Trails is kind of the audio counterpart
to Neil Peart's "Ghost Rider" book.   The tarot cards in the liner are
explained in the book.   Quite a good read too.  I enjoyed Neil's trip across
Canada to the arctic circle and down to Mexico.   The drum-solo opening to "One
Little Victory" is kind of like Neil telling the world he's back.

Oddly enough on Slacker there is a re-issue of Vapor Trails that I absolutely
hate.  They re-mixed all the songs and I really hate the end result.  Not sure
what the hell they were thinking with that one.
