    Are there stats anywhere on #twitter usage. Do people tweet more during the week or during the weekend? At night or during the day?

  • MarkDee:
    @syphil well thanks for the advice! I might just force a night jog, then perhaps some socializing..or hibernating, one or the other.

  • EP31:
    @Number31 yes! not sure if he will end the night with two goals though (Stewie or Benoit might've got a stick on the first one)

  • hannahakd:
    Dear Hannah, you can hold off on the flashbacks until Sunday night or Monday, so you can do your Euro homework. Really, put school first.

You're going to have to wait until tonight for The Vega Star's live performance and "The Night" CD release party but a sneak peak at the album reveals a masterful flow from start to finish.

It's honestly a struggle to describe The Vega Star's sound. Undeniably dark, but not for the broken hearted or the self loathsome. There is profound depth to the album's ballad like sound but Rolbiecki's vocals induce self reflection more so than self-repudiation. The album has inherent intensity in tone and melody that adds intellectual weight to forthright lyrics.

It's as if the band took pieces of folk, alternative, bluegrass and rock; melding a sound both indescribably unusual and assuredly familiar. The album plays a familiarity impossible to place but the complexity of each song is alluringly addictive.

Song titles like "The Error," "The Wicked," and "The Collector" mask complexity with simplicity; something that band members Justin Rolbiecki, Jackson Messner, John Juchemich and Stephen DeLassus continuously master with instrumentation.

Join the party tonight at the Cactus Club. Show starts at 9:30 p.m. with openers Sleep Out, Pezzetino and Moon High.
