Volcanic Lightning is the name of my next metal band.

What an incredible time last night at @TheDollyrots show. Huge shout out to Kelly, Luis, & @RikkiStyxx for making it an unforgettable night for my “niece” Tori. Rikki’s dad adopted Tori for the night, took her “backstage,” such as it is at Three Links, and she got to talk to all three in the band.

The show was joyous fun on top of all that.







Thanks to the Internet, I’ve updated Stryper’s The Yellow and Black Attack and To Hell With the Devil albums with their original artwork in my iTunes library. Not sure why I waited so long.



Hey, worship leaders! You want to wake up your flocks Sunday morning?

Drop the sad pappy music and play this:

Nine years after I purchased my first noise-canceling headphones, a pair of refurbished Bose QuietComfort 15s, I’ve stepped up to wireless ANCs with these Sennheiser PXC-550-II cans.

First tracks played: Stryper’s “To Hell With the Devil” and Whitecross’ “Who Will You Follow.”



And tonight I learned of this little collaboration between @2CELLOS and @SteveVai:

It’s always a treat getting mail from overseas. I wonder what this could be, @ZubyMusic? 😉



In tonight’s edition of “Chris randomly selects songs in his iTunes library”:

There are lots of great music videos. Then there are a select few that are absolutely perfect for the song and singer/band. This is one of those.

Wow, just read the act-by-act plot of the Rock of Ages stage musical, and boy am I glad I never saw it (except for seeing @joelhoekstra13 as a member of Arsenal; that would’ve been cool). The movie version is so much lighter and funnier by comparison. And still has Joel.

Three years ago yesterday. Can’t wait to do this again soon, @stryper / @michaelhsweet!


Oh right. One guess where I am.
