I haven't blogged in a long while. Between work, gigs, and Diablo 3, I haven't had the time to sit down and really blog about what's been going on with me. Perhaps I should make the effort some time this weekend to do so. So much has happened musically since the last time I blogged.
In the meantime, I'll post a quick one about the Blue Man Group. I watched the New York Blue Man Group years ago and continue to be a fan of the act ever since. I've always been curious about their song "It's Time To Start". And was amusingly compiling all the "Rock Concert Movements" in the song. I finally completed it! Just haven't gotten around posting it on my blog until now. Below is a video of one of their live performances of the song. I listed out all the "Rock Concert Movements" after that.

Taking the audience on a Jungian journey into the collective unconscious by using the shadow as a metaphor for the primal self that gets repressed by the modern persona and also by using an underground setting and labyrinth office design to represent both the depths of the psyche and the dungeon-like isolation of our increasingly mechanistic society which prevents people from finding satisfying work or meaningful connections with others
They actually don't mention ALL the "Rock Concert Movements" in the video I embedded. They don't mention them all in any given performance of the song. But I've watched quite a few including their Live Concert DVD release. So I picked up on what I think is all of them.
As I felt such geeky accomplishment for compiling all of the "Rock Concert Movements". I actually found somebody else already did so and posted it on the net. Wasted effort. /face palm
