I know some of you have been unsure of how to order CDs from Alec and Kore, and Kore's been too busy to update the official website. So I wrote this up, got some corrections from Kore, and I hope you find it helpful.

Is it just me, or has anybody else noticed that there is a lot of symbolism in "Stormbringer" that is reminiscent of the stories of the Wild Hunt?

I just got myself a copy of Life's Flame a few weeks ago, and I find myself intrigued by the song "Defender of the Child". The lyrics are not at all what I expected (though I love it, don't get me wrong), and I confess that I don't quite understand it. Any interpretations y'all would like to share with me?

Whoot! My new Heather album came! She was just here for a concert a few weeks ago, but I'm going into withdrawal already! Plus, the last few albums I got were the same ones my folks had, since they were getting sick of me swiping them. So, while it was exciting to have my own autographed copies, they still didn't have any (to me) new music. However, Life's Flame just arrived in today's mail, and I am a very happy person!

And I'm still really jealous of all those folks up in Oregon and Washington who get to see her on a much more regular basis. :p I may have to move up there, despite the lack of sun, just to hear Heather more... ;)

Oy, now I sound like a mad stalker-fan. But y'all know I'm kidding, right?

If anyone knows of an interesting article on Heather, feel free to post it here. I thought I'd start off with a few things:
