A series looking at my all time favorite albums. This time, it’s the 1997 self-titled release from Days of the New.

The second entry of the “Teargarden By Kaleidyscope” album trilogy, Billy Corgan continues with guest musicians and many different directions. Will this album continue The Smashing Pumpkin’s legacy or will this also turn into an elegy?

My photos of ’68, who opened for Anblerin before their final performance. All pictures were taken at the House of Blues in Orlando, Florida. These guys did not skimp on the song and dance routine and actually had everyone laughing at the show. With such zingers as:
“We are ZZ Top. My name is ZZ, and this is Top.”
“We are Simon and Garfunkel. I’m Simonangar, and he is Funkel”
and,
“We are Captain and Tennille.” I’m Captain Anti, and that’s Neil.”
Ohio’s Walk The Moon present their sophomore release filled with more positive upbeat alternative rock. This is also the first time an album will tell you to “Shut Up” and you’ll enjoy it.

On November 26, 2014 Anberlin performed their final concert in their backyard of Orlando, FL. Instead of me just giving a recap of the show, I decided to give the fans in attendance a chance to send a message to the band.
Thank you, Anberlin.

My photos of Anberlin’s final performance ever at the House of Blues in Orlando, FL. All photos were taken on 11/26/2014.
Going in I thought that it would be a very somber and emotional scene, but it turned out to be the opposite. There was a sense of happiness and peace at the end where everyone applauded and was satisfied and hopeful. It’s very hard to explain and I don’t think my words can do it justice, but all I can say is “Thank you, Anberlin”.
Ben Sharp’s one man project Cloudkicker teams up with Intronaut to produce a live album without uttering a word in the music. Just how well does this live recording brainchild sound?
