Trans-Siberian

what does that mean anyway? trans-siberian orchestra. just a family sounding PR name to give a heavy metal band new life with a new audience.

but seriously people. you haven't heard the nutcracker until you've heard it like this...

go here: http://www.trans-siberian.com/multimedia/index.shtml and listen to 'A Mad Russian's Christmas'

no really, you MUST listen to it! don't you think Tchaikovsky would have loved to hear it like that?

so we went to see them tonight - and even though it's not thanksgiving yet, this concert is the kickoff to the xmas season. The concert was amazing.

beethoven's 5th is fairly mindblowing when they play it too.
