UPDATES 

Update:  Yes, I've had motivational problems since the Christmas break, but I'm back on track now.  I've almost finished reviewing the Pink Floyd, Tool, and Metallica discographies, so I'm currently trying to decide which artists will be next on the agenda (I will be reviewing all of the KISS solo albums, but other than that I haven't made up my mind yet).  I'm leaning towards Queen or The Doors though...

Also, I can't remember if I mentioned this before, but I write songs for a new Vancouver band, Danny Echo, which has evolved from The Ryecatchers (former vocalist Dan Newton and guitarist Mark Christopher founded the band in late 2005, and bassist Shannon Perkins and drummer Michelle Longstaff are now on board as well).  Danny Echo has just finished recording 5 brand spanking new tracks for their self-titled debut EP, which will be available shortly.  The debut single will be a song I wrote with guitarist Mark Christopher called Out Of Style.  The other tracks rock too, so check 'em out.  You can download four of these tracks for free at:
