In case anyone is wondering, here's my list:

5.) Counterparts (first album I was anticipating as a new fan, and it did not disappoint! The rawness, power, and grunginess is just what I needed at...

The third and final broadcast day from aboard CTTE 2022 This one wasn't a traditional show in the sense of interviewing guests; instead it was all about Top 5 Rush album lists. The whole show...

Well, Cruise to the Edge is back in 2022 after the long pandemic, and so is Mr. Trunk, who is broadcasting live from the cruise all week, with Mike Portnoy acting as co-host. Since I'm still alive...

Here's Eddie Trunk's 2nd SiriusXM show dedicated to Neil's passing. This one is 3 hours of Rush music (mostly) and calls from listeners sharing their thoughts and memories of Neil.

Eddie Trunk's Neil Peart Tribute show on SiriusXM 1/13/2020 (Featuring Taylor Hawkins, Mike Portnoy, Andy Curran, and Nick Raskulinecz):

Gutted, to say the least. There will never be another.

Here's my small contribution that will hopefully contribute to healing. When the news broke on Friday afternoon, a music talk show on...

They could've put it between two rigid pieces of cardboard, like I do when mailing magazines/flats that I sell, to not have it get creased and folded when it's supposed to be a bonus selling point...

Did anyone order the limited edition blue marble vinyl version of the album and actually receive it? I ordered it early this month but instead today received the limited CD box + poster instead...

Here's another video of a song from the new EP. Another winner. Has the band always had the same singer?

I have, but they're a bit pricey for me ($25+), if you don't buy from a Russian seller (which I would rather not due to the possibility of fakes). I would like the Inside Out reissues if possible. ...

I'm surprised this band isn't talked about more here. Their blend of technicality, songcraft, and melodic bliss is something to behold. Totally like a prog-metal version of Jellyfish, like someone...

Very cool first hand info about the band, thanks! Their musicianship is evident in the studio recordings, I imagine those covers would've been very faithfully reproduced and impressive to witness...

Yep, that's the band. Cycle of the Moon was their 2nd, released in '88. Their first one seems to be the proggiest, but it's pretty hard to find (not on any streaming services). Gotta love YouTube...

Eddie Trunk was talking about bands that never made it the other day and this band called Prophet came up. They were signed to Megaforce (the label Trunk worked at in the late '80s), but before that...

I recently signed up for a free trial of Pandora Premium. Of course the first thing I searched for was "progressive rock." I clicked on the first station that came up - "Progressive Rock Radio" and...

If people's reactions seem too over-the-top or "put on," I'm out. These guys seem genuinely into the music. Unless you have millions of subscribers (which most of these reactors don't), these...

I also find these reaction videos awesome/fascinating/hilarious. Here are two of my fave reactors. The first (Weeabo) is fairly hyper and insane (in a good way), but he actually listens the the...

Musically I like (but don't love) the song. I have difficulty with the recent trend of H eschewing great vocal melodies in favor of almost spoken-word, stream-of-consciousness lyrics that are fairly...

There's an elusive and somewhat legendary collection of albums someone has taken great care to curate and rip to high quality MP3s, and it is entitled "The Progressive-Kraut-Psych-Avant Garde Rock...

Jon was recently a guest on the Bennington show promoting his new album. For those not in the know, Ron Bennington is formerly one half of Ron & Fez. While his roots lie in shock jockery he has...

I listened to it all the way through, the whole interview is there in the MP3 file. You might have issues streaming from the Dropbox link. Instead, you might want to try downloading the MP3 to your...

He must've been significantly less giddy to interview Steve Hackett, as he let two progheads ask most of the questions (though that is probably to the listener's benefit, especially those on this...

Glad you are enjoying the shows, fiberman. Here is today's broadcast:

Day 3 - Roie Avin (The Prog Report), John Lodge (The Moody Blues), Tony MacAlpine (Planet X, CAB), with questions from live...

Another year, another live week of Trunk broadcasts from CTTE...

Day 1 - Larry Morand (cruise promoter / producer), Michael Sadler (Saga), Steve Howe (Yes), with questions from live audience and...

Yesterday SW appeared on the SiriusXM show Debatable with Mark Goodman and Alan Light as part of his press to promote the tour. It's about half an hour long and fairly interesting. Although they...

I use a program called Total Recorder to record the audio from SiriusXM's web player in Chrome. It basically records system audio (what you hear). You can also set timers and schedule automatic...

Packed show on the last broadcast from CTTE! Never thought I'd ever hear Trunk talking to Steve Hogarth, but it actually happened. Good stuff. Enjoy...

Day 3 - Steve Hogarth (Marillion), Billy...

I should point out that SiriusXM is having a free streaming promotion until the end of the day tomorrow (Wednesday 2/7). No account is required, you simply go to their site, click "Listen Online"...

Same here. Also thoroughly enjoyed Carl Palmer's appearance. He's become an Elder Statesman of Prog and is a great speaker and storyteller (although he may have gone into a bit too much detail...

Day 2 - Mike Portnoy and Ron "Bumblefoot" Thal (Sons of Apollo), Martin Barre (Jethro Tull), Carl Palmer (ELP), Roie Avin (The Prog Report)

Not sure. There may be an "official" time zone recognized by the cruise, however individuals' clocks/watches/"smart" devices might not be in sync with it.

Here is an MP3 of the first show...

Day 1 - Roger Dean, Jeff Scott Soto and Billy Sheehan (Sons of Apollo)

Most welcome. Unfortunately, the Ian Crichton interview didn't happen today. It turns out the ship was anchored off the coast of Belize, which is in a different time zone than the first part of the...

Well, it's a year later and Eddie is back broadcasting his show from another Cruise to the Edge! He just interviewed Roger Dean and will be talking to members of Sons of Apollo and Ian Crichton from...

If anyone enjoyed the band Medications I posted about earlier in this thread, their lead singer/guitarist/songwriter Devin Ocampo recently formed a new band called The EFFECTS and they released an...

Thanks for confirming the lack of an Android version. I still don't understand why there is an app called Prog Magazine in the Google Play store that is totally blank and does nothing, though. ...

Does anyone know if it's possible to purchase single issues of Prog magazine for Android devices? They have an app on the Google Play store, however when I download it, there's nothing in it. Just...

Selling the following 10 records in one lot on eBay. All are VG to EX- condition (with the exception of the cover on Rush - Archives which has water damage, but the records themselves were...

Discogs shows a 180 gram LP reissue of the debut by Friday, but I'm not seeing separate CD releases. In any event, the artwork on the files I downloaded shows the twofer version from 2003, but they...

The problem with that is the Friday Music release has both albums on a single disc. The version I downloaded had 2 separate sets of WavePack/cue files for each disc. That means each album was on a...

Thanks for the info. It's possible that it wasn't an actual track on the CD, but someone made a mistake when they ripped it, causing it to be repeated and reported as a hidden track when it was just...

I came across a CD of the first Flash album in electronic form, but I'm trying to identify the specific release. It has a "hidden track" at the end that is about a 90 second snippet from the song...

I'll be the first to go with the obvious...

Oh, if you're headed to the Cape, Spinnaker in Hyannis seems like a no-brainer.

http://capecodmagazine.com/you-spin-me-round/

Newbury is actually looked down upon by independent record store owners; they are in effect a chain, with around 30 locations throughout New England. Their used vinyl is overpriced and at times not...

There is a record store in Somerset, MA I can recommend (close to 195 exits and about 30 mins from Providence): Sunset Records. The owner (Bob) is a great guy who loves prog and has a very cool...

In case anyone missed it, here's a video of the Yes "Artist Confidential" interview with David Fricke on SiriusXM Volume last night (only the current Yes, ARW not included).

This is true, but he does know how to conduct interviews with rock musicians. He brings some interesting stories and insights out of his guests, no matter the genre. Plus Portnoy and the guy who...

Here's an MP3 of the fourth and final live broadcast. Our very own Squids sat in very briefly at the end! Congrats Dave, that was very cool and unexpected to hear you.

For the first 20 minutes...

For those not in the know, Eddie Trunk is on board Cruise to the Edge to help celebrate his friend Mike Portnoy's 50th birthday. He's also been broadcasting his daily SiriusXM music talk show live...

He fought valiantly right up until the end. Never gave up, even planned on doing the Journey tour. If it were up to him, I bet he would've happily drawn his last breath on stage, doing what he was...

Back in the day, when bootlegs were pressed onto vinyl, cassettes and CDs, they had to come up with creative titles and artwork in order to stand out and get you to part with your hard earned bucks. ...

Scratch that! The purchases of the back issues were eventually charged, there was just a long delay between the purchases and the charges (like 8 hours). Now I hope that the app doesn't stop working...

Just a heads up: since this news broke, I just purchased multiple back issues in the iOS app for iPad. My credit card has not been charged but the issues are downloading and I am able to view them. ...

The band have posted a year-end update to their site. If you've been wondering why there has been no echolyn news in a long while, here's your answer: life happens. All five guys have day jobs, and...

Could this be the worst article ever written about prog? Before you start a music news/reviews/interviews site, maybe you should learn the basics of writing? Horrendous.
...

I'm sorry, but I really don't have a good feeling about this after he's been posting links to songs and articles that seem to be reflecting back on his life. And today he tweeted a photo with his...

The Flower Kings - "Love Supreme" (from Adam and Eve)

@ the 14 minute mark:

"I'm just a shitter in the wind!"

I've heard it that way since it was released in 2004, and I can't NOT hear it...
