Yeah...this is a list of bands I've seen live. This is just a way for me to keep track. I don't care if you don't care.

There are a few local shows missing here, because they were so long ago that I don't remember who was playing. Any bands missing links are local, unless they happen to be well-known enough to have a Last.fm page. I'll add more as I go to more shows.

Almost seven months have past this year and unfortunately not all albums met their expectations. Patrick Watson and Dream Theater brought us some good albums, but they weren't brilliant. However, there were a lot of surprises, like Megafaun, maudlin of the Well and Vienna Teng. I still have to listen to Gregory Alan Isakov - This Empty Northern Hemisphere and Gazpacho - Tick Tock. Here's my top 10 albums so far.

1. (1) Mastodon- Crack The Skye
2. (-) Megafaun- Gather, Form & Fly
3. (-) Stendeck- Sonnambula
4. (-) Oneida- Rated O
5. (-) maudlin of the Well - Part the Second
6. (-) The Devin Townsend Project - Ki
7. (-) Vienna Teng - Inland Territory
8. (-) Callisto - Providence
9. (2) John Frusciante - The Empyrean
10. (-) Celer - Engaged Touches

Albums with high expectations:
New Muse, Porcupine Tree, Motorpsycho, Sickoackes, Shora, Immanu El, Black Heart Procession, Six Organs of Admittance and The Flaming Lips.

Comments or suggestions are welcome.
