Check it out now.... funk soul brother.

I've been meaning to update this blog about some of the shows i've been to, records i've listened to, records i never want to hear again, etc. But most importantly i've been meaning to write about my big brother's blog, check it out at http://acidica.shawwebspace.ca/blog/

My brother Tom is the one who got me into music, at a young age. When i was real young i remember him being a big KISS fan and seeing those painted up faces on the record covers is really where my love affair with vinyl started. As i got a bit older i found myself checking out whatever music was blasting out of his room in the basement, and at that point it was mostly metal with forays into other styles. My brother never seemed to listen to one style of music, it wasn't uncommon to hear Metallica, Dylan, Alice Cooper and Stompin Tom all in a row while hanging out with him. This open-mindedness to music really rubbed off on me which is why my musical tastes are quite all over the map. Tommy is also the one who took me to my first concert; KISS in 1985! Over the years me and him have gone to alot of shows, first while we were growing up in Edmonton, and then over the years in various cities i've lived in.
My brother's blog is all about music and is looking quite promising. When you go to his site you should make sure to look thru the photo sections as he has taken on some huge projects like scanning all his concert ticket stubs (some pretty awesome shows!) as well as his old concert shirts (I believe a couple of these might be mine that were traded/sold during the 90's when i was broke).
The site address once again is http://acidica.shawwebspace.ca/blog/
