Any of you guys familiar with the group Tonic at all?

On June 27th, Our Lady Peace is going to be putting on a show in Ohio that I'm looking at getting tickets to, they're headlining a tour with Collective Soul and Tonic. Obviously, I know Collective Soul (if only for "Shine"), but I can't say I've heard of Tonic at all.

I think the one band that I've discovered that's worth mentioning is Sabaton, a metal band which sings about historical battles and stuff.

Blackmill - Embrace

I've been listening to Blackmill for a couple months now, and I've loved everything I've heard.

There's this playlist on spotify called "Peaceful Guitar" that I like to listen to while I work and this song came on that I recognized, but could not place. Did some googling and it turns out it's one of the songs off of the Minecraft soundtrack. A really great one, too

The new Hop Along record is so goddamn good.

Does... uh, going to concerts count? Because my roommate and I went and saw Chubby Checker (yes, he's still alive) tonight. Same place we went and saw Merle Haggard a couple years ago.

I've been listening to "Rivendell" by Rush a lot lately. It's my go to song for relaxing or calming down when I'm stressed. It's a very un-Rush song in terms of style, but it's probably one of my favorite Rush songs. It's just so relaxing and it does a really great job of taking you to Rivendell. Makes you want to set out on an adventure and stumble upon an ancient elven city by a waterfall.

Boy you can tell Rob isn't around here much anymore, I feel like he'd have been super into that Hop Along song.

Anyway Tobe Nwigwe is extremely my shit lately.
