This weekend I was discussing guitar solos with Chris. I’ve seen a lot of them in my thirty years, and I have to say that my favorite is the one in ‘Invincible’ by Muse (Matt Bellamy on the axe). Check out the flying fingers of fastness at 4:30-ish:

Paper Route – Last Time

I’m super bummed that I missed Paper Route when there were in Seattle a few months ago. I think I was in Scotland, however, which makes it ok. I’m really into their tune “Last Time”. Even though this video has awful audio, you can still get a feel for how good they are.

In other news, it’s HOT! 102 degrees in Newcastle today. I had a nice daddy-daughter date with Hazel at Starbucks while Sarah was working a Jean party.
