25 Random Posts: Time to Add Some Structure

Much to my surprise, people are actually reading my collection of random gibberish, ravings and even my post-script open letters. They're not only reading - they're coming back and reading more.

It's practically unheard of.

The Blaarg's description does clearly state that these are a few random days in my life - and my entries have been nothing short of random. In my first 25 posts I've covered topics such as:

• Metal;
• Hockey;
• World Cup soccer;
• Concerts/Shows;
• Birthdays;
• Bruschetta mix;
• Pan Galactic Gargle Blasters;
• Djent;
• Upcoming music tours;
• Video Game Villains and
• My lack of a future need of Bullshit

I'd qualify that as being a pretty random pile of topics for only covering the first 25 posts of Have You Met Jay.

For people the people who keep coming back, you never really know what to expect. So I figured that for my inaugural 25th post, I would provide some much needed structure to the Blaarg. So for my loyal (and most likely deranged) readers, here is the structure you require:

I first came across Structures while checking out bands for a show last March which was being opened by Rising City States, a local band of which one of my old childhood friends is the drummer. The show was being headlined by Periphery, a focal point I brought up in my Djent Forecast post from a couple weeks back.

They're a progressive metalcore unit that hails from Toronto - which just adds another name to the already deep talent pool that our fine country boasts on the Metal scene. They released their debut EP All of the Above shortly after that show, on April 6th.

The band was recently back in Ottawa at Ritual in support of the Holly Springs Disaster's farewell tour, along with Architects early this month. I imagine it won't be the last time we see these guys in town and I highly recommend checking them out on their next tour shot through Ottawa - or wherever you may find yourself, if you get the chance.

And there you have it folks, some much needed Structure(s) for the Blaarg, as promised.
