I'll be away this weekend on a mix of business and pleasure, so I thought I'd offer a bellyful of long songs for your entertainment. Or not. Maybe I'm just being pretentious.
First up is the title track from Dream Theater's Octavarium. Loved it live in Chicago in March of '06; look forward to seeing them this August as they tour in support of their forthcoming CD on Rhino.
Next up, in multiple parts in order (one hopes) is "Supper's Ready", an interesting interpretation of the Book of the Revelation to St. John by Genesis.
Finally, we have, again in multiple parts, VanDerGraaf Generator's "A Plague of Lighthouse Keepers" (dedicated to Cristina at Contra Capa).
