That Speedbump is awesome, awesomeness! I love all his solo stuff. The album I'm playing most right now is Black Light Syndrome by Bozzio Levin Stevens. I just LOVE this album, everything about it is awesome. Especially the use of flamenco style guitar, love it!

The 'Resonator' album is brilliant! As is 'Stick Man'!!!! The album is very reminiscent of King Crimson - understandable considering Pat Mastelotto's brilliant drumming.... Go check out this on YouTube.... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8fuQBmi6Ca4 Excellent track - and the video is awesome! As is Tony's double live album (with the Tony Levin Band) 'Double Espresso' - you can't beat that live groove! TLev is THE god of Bass!

Knight's "SIGNS?" If so, yeah, I saw it and hated it. No continuity with the aliens. The can travel across space, they can be in orbit undetected, and yet they are too dumb to wear a waterproof suit and carry hand-held weaponry. They can put holes in a basement door, but they can't knock it down? The whole movie was so contrived to kick out a ridiculous "message," and that message was, namely, that if God likes you, he will kill everything around you and slaughter thousands of people who don't know you just to show you that you need to believe and have faith.

And the money spent on Infected was definitely worth it, great stuff. I've been trying to get a hold of your other novels, but its been hard going. One day I'll find them in a store! :D Will be keeping up on your blog now, so I can avoid terrible movies :) On a related note, did you see the movie THE SIGNAL? Adam Hi Scott,
