Two Big Announcements

First, to all the viewers, readers, followers, listeners and first-time drop-bys ... welcome and thank you. Oddly, because I've been spending so much time working on each week's Rock Labyrinth show, I haven't put as much time into the blog as I've wanted. But that's going to (hopefully) change.

So my first announcement is about Sunday the 23rd. I'll be taking part in Monmouth County's (New Jersey) first ever Comic-Con. That's right! The Monmouth County Library Headquarters in Manalapan is going to be transformed in Comic-Con! here's a link to an article from the Middletown Patch about the event:

http://middletown-nj.patch.com/articles/monmouth-county-s-first-comic-con-comes-to-manalapan

I'll be there signing and selling my two horror novels, Forever Will You Suffer and Instutitional Memory. So if you're around and near Manalapan, NJ, stop in and say hi! I'll be with several other local NJ authors, though I'm hoping to get around and meet artists and other cool comic book folk!

The con goes from 1-4:30pm and library is located at 125 Symmes Rd in Manalapan and best of all, it's free! So come on down and check it out!

The other annoucement is simply the setlist from my last Monday's Rock Labyrinth, that for one night had become the Prog Labyrinth. I figured it's easier to show you what I'm playing than to list a bunch of genres. so here it is:

1. M*A*S*H Theme in honor of the show's 40th anniversary
2. Yes: Five Percent For Nothing (5th episode song)
3. History of the World, Part 1: Jews in Space (Happy Rosh Hashanah)
4. Presidents of the USA: MAch Five (5th episode and Constitution Day)
6. Rush: Finding My Way (Geddy's Jewish)
7. Phantom, Rocker & Slick: Men Without Shame
8. Mae: Someone Else's Arms
9. Kamelot: Forever
10. Bat For Lashes: What's a Girl to Do
11. Southern Culture on the Skids: House of Bamboo
12. Kosheen: Empty Skies
13. The Gathering: Nighttime Birds
14. Madness: One Step Beyond
15. Klaatu: Around the Universe in 80 Days
16. Midnight Oil: Beds Are Burning

17. Peter Murphy: Fun Time (covering Iggy Pop)
18. Foo Fighters: Down in the Park (covering Gary Numan)

34. Magellan: Confessor's Overture
35. Symphony X: Seas of Lies
36. 10 Years: Forever Fields
37. Iluvatar: Haze
38. Rush: Far Cry

Like I said, it was a prog-heavy week. This Monday (September 24) will be much more balanced with bands like The Cure, Avenged Sevenfold, Megadeth, Marillion, The Damned, Big Big Train, Tin Machine, Foreigner and the usual cool segments like birthday songs, cover tunes and returning this week: The Vault (classic tunes that are over 35 years old). 9pm at www.shmusicmedia.com gets you there and don't forget you can always head over to the Facebook page and join in the fun.
 
 
Peace,
