Despite all the bombastic excess, Muse is a pretty decent rock band. I seem to have developed an aversion for the whole concept of the traditional guitar-bass-drums setup...that is, I'm generally more attached to a group when a synth or female vocalist is present, but occasionally it's cathartic to simply let loose. While I've found myself going for shoegazer/dream-pop for endless fuzz, occasionally intelligible lyrics are more affecting. Also, if you haven't already discerned, I'm a pretty big fan of melodrama.
This set was recorded at the Gasometer in Vienna on October 23rd, 2003, pre-Revelations.

One of our dining halls was playing Dani Siciliano at lunchtime. Clearly, I'm at the right school.
Man, those Rangers are frustrating. After dropping a game to the lowly LA Kings, they come back and beat the (Mighty) Ducks in overtime. I guess it could be worse.
Obscure Sound has live New Pornographers, including a cover of Fleetwood Mac's "Dreams." Wonderful stuff.
