I'm enjoying a bit of a vacation at the moment.  My wife is in Mexico until the 10th, and so while the kids are asleep or absent, I can spend all my time in my studio if I want to.  And believe me, I want to.  I'm not playing guitar or writing music, or recording anything I've written; I'm getting some Digilog™ vinyl ready to take on the road.  I'm thinking an 80-minute metal compilation is a good idea.  i'm ripping a few Manowar tunes as I type this.  There are only a couple of really epic tunes on their first album; other than that, I'm going to use the best songs from other metal compilations.
