Ascending to Avalon on Something Planet Episode 59
Ascending to Avalon was the studio guest for this week’s Something Planet podcast. While on the air they got a chance to talk about their new album, quadruple meat sandwiches and Metrocon furries. You have to listen to know what I am talking about.
Ascending to Avalon (sans bass player George) played killer acoustic versions of “The Woods” and “Shine in the Dark” (from the upcoming Wake the Sleeping Sun) and the B-side “Falling from the Heavens”.

How to Take Music Reviews (Advice for Bands)
One of the ways people find out about new music is by listening to what their favorite trusted music critics have to say. Whether it’s a local newspaper or Rolling Stone magazine, getting reviewed is very important to bands, especially the songwriters. Reviews provide professional validation and encouragement when they are positive and they derail genius if they are negative or overly critical.
But even knowing the perils, thousands of bands stills send in their CDs to music critics everywhere, hoping that one explains their music in such an accurate and flattering way that fame would be the only logical result from these words being printed. Here’s some advice that may help put things in a more realistic perspective and why it doesn’t really matter.
