They finally fixed the a/c a few months ago, but the combination of body heat and leaving the front doors open pretty much cancels that out. It's freezing in the morning though!

And did you buy HAARP or did you need a copy of it as well? Right now, I'm burning Hullabaloo, Absolution Tour, and Making of Absolution.

No prob! I'll burn them for you in the next few days so you should be getting them in the mail sometime next week.

I wish more people drove the extra two miles to go to one of the other Apple Stores so at least things would be more balanced. I like being kept busy in a store like ours, but we just need a bigger one to move around in!

Okay, I'll burn you those DVDs and mail them to you! And yep, I work at the crazy Ala Moana store! Just on the weekends though... stop by and say "hi" if you're ever around there!

Hi! Thank you for the holiday greetings! How was your new year celebration?

PM me your mailing address and I can send you DVD-Rs of each concert. Do you want versions for your iPod and computer too, or would you be able to rip the DVDs yourself? And let me know if you want to upgrade to an iPod Touch, which has the larger screen. I could hook you up with a friends/family discount. It's not much - 15 percent - but it's something. =)

Do you want HQ versions of the concerts? I converted them for my iPhone so they should also work on the iPod. And/or I could burn you the DVDs so you can watch them on TV (yes!).

It's hard for me to pick a favorite. I like HAARP because of how epic it is. HAARP was actually how I first got into Muse. I bought it on a whim, then I picked up all their other albums after that. =) Glasto is also epic but I agree, the DVD tracklist is lacking. (How can you leave out SS and the stage trashing at the end?!) And then I love Hullabaloo for its raw performance, it has more of the older material, and the bonus DVD is entertaining to watch.

I'm letting one of my coworkers at the Apple Store borrow my copy of HAARP because I just learned that he LOVES Muse. Then I found out that another one of my coworkers also loves Muse -- she said to me, and I quote, "We should hang out more!" -- and got to see them live in L.A. a few years ago. So lucky... I want to see them live someday. Even if I have to fly somewhere to do it!

Man, seriously! Every weekend between Thanksgiving and New Year's Eve, there's usually one or two aerials that would go off. So irritating. Aerials are ridiculous because you can pretty much tell where they're coming from. You might as well hold up a big-ass sign that says, "Arrest me officer!" Of course, that would require the HPD to do more, um, arresting. =P

We ended up watching HAARP because my sister wanted to see the whole thing. (Yes, I'm spreading the Muse virus! Even copied all my Muse songs to her laptop!) I also have Hullabaloo, the Absolution Tour (Glasto) and the making of Absolution, all of them downloaded and burnt. (shhhh...) I don't have an all-region DVD player so even if I bought them off eBay, I wouldn't be able to watch them. Do you have all of their DVDs too?

Hey Kylee! I've been doing great, keeping busy with work and hanging out with friends. I wanted to go to the movies today but it looks like I'm gonna be home with the family and enduring my neighbors' crazy propane bombs, ugh. I'm gonna try to ninja my way to the TV as soon as my dad gets sick of Nat Geo's "Dog Whisperer" marathon and pop in one of the Muse DVDs in celebration of the new year. We'll light up some of our fountains later tonight. I'm not a fan of the loud stuff lol.

Yeah, I guess Hawaii's one of the last places in the world to get to New Year's, huh? Damn time zones. Happy new year! =)

So how about you? Gonna be doing anything special in celebration?

Thank you for your festive artwork! Merry Christ"Matt" and a Happy New Year to you too! Or in Hawaiian: Mele Kalikimaka me ka Hau'oli Makahiki Hou! Or in Tagalog: Maligayang pasko!

And here's to a new year with what's looking like a new Muse album! Yes!

I was training for my job at Apple, so I was in the San Jose area. You should totally get the HAARP album! Then go to Cali! Hehehe =)

It started with a conversation with some people I was job training with in California. Muse was a band I was meaning to get in to for a while—I knew a few people who liked them in high school—so I got the HAARP album, realized how awesome they were, and got all their other albums. =)

Good question. Maybe they got too cool for even the coolest band in school. ;-) Funny how we both asked questions related to their time in school.

That's what I was thinking. Not to be mean, but probably the only sport I could see him playing. =p

I'm doing good, just keeping busy with work. So how'd you get into Muse?

Lucky you got to see them live! It's hard to choose a favorite song... right now, I'd say "Stockholm Syndrome." That guitar riff is badass. And I submitted a question but it wasn't chosen in the final top 30. I asked Matt what sports he played in school, since he mentioned in an interview that he played sports, but never said which ones.

I wish. Of course, Muse has never been here before but who knows, maybe they'll show up one day. Their next tour, I'd be willing to fly up to California to see them. We'll see. =) I take it you've seen them live?

Hi! Thanks for adding me as a friend. =) How are you doing?

I've never been anywhere in Europe, but again my sister has. She's been to Italy, the UK, Germany, Switzerland and the Netherlands. (It was a tour for a music ambassadors program.) I would very much like to as soon as I can afford it. And right now, Absolution is my favorite album, though they're all magnificent in their own way.

I can play a bit of guitar too but I haven't been practicing lately. I've been spending more time with piano. I would like to get back to playing guitar though. I can imagine "Stockholm Syndrome" being a fun song to play. I don't have a band, but I often daydream that I have one hehe.

Maybe "Sunburn" would be my song of the day today. I already know how to play the intro on the piano but now I'm learning how to play the rest of the song.

I'm working two jobs. My full time job is making websites and my part-time job is spent teaching people how to use Macs.

Haha I wish I could go there! Someday I'm sure. My sister is four years younger than me and she got to go to Italy before me!

It's nice as you can imagine. Been really busy with work, though. Haven't had much time to go out or anything.
