The Sideshow Podcast 
I need to hear your review of Soreption, as I’m on the fence on that one.
Live review: Smashing Pumpkins at Madison Square Garden. My takeaway from the show is an observation that audiences at rock concerts (rock, not metal) are split evenly between those who want to “rock out” and those who want to “chill out”. At a seated venue such as Madison Square Garden, half the people are standing the entire show and the other half are chilling out by sitting down most of the show and only standing when something important is happening that they need to stand in order to see. I may be old, but I’m still in the 50% that wants to rock out.
