UFO @ B.B. King’s Blues Club – New York, NY May 13th, 2011
Vinnie Moore One wonders if B.B. King could predict the kind of talent that would hold court in his subterranean blues club in the heart of New York’s midtown.

Veil Of Maya – Eclipse (Featuring Track-By-Track Commentary From Marc Okubo) April 17th, 2012
Veil Of Maya - Eclipse Let’s get one thing out of the way: how you regard Veil of Maya and their Sumerian brethren likely runs parallel to your impressions of Meshuggah.
