News & Observer music critic David Menconi's random (and we do mean random) musings about all things related to music and culture of the "popular" variety.
It might be the dog days of August, but Christmas is coming -- for real. And how do we know this? Because tour dates are out for Trans-Siberian Orchestra, the operatic heavy-metal Christmas extravaganza, and Raleigh is on the itinerary once again. This year's TSO visitation will happen on Dec. 2 at the RBC Center; two shows, at 4 p.m. and 8 p.m. Ticket on-sale details to come.
