Topic of the day: Violin Hero

I was curious whether a Guitar-hero-like game exists for violin. I can't believe such thing indeed exists! However, it had been discontinued for a long time. I guess it wasn't that successful. There seems to be a market though, judging by Facebook having a Violin Hero group with 500+ members.

Album of the day: Endgame

For those who defended Metallica by saying they can't make any progress by staying true to their roots (and the spirit of thrash metal), they should look at what Megadeth is doing (or as a matter of fact, what Metallica was doing in their latest album "Death Magnetic") This is a perfect example of a great band that never sell out. It opens with an instrumental that reminds me of the golden days of heavy metal guitar shredding. And it only gets better from there.
