^^^ Ahh, I did indeed miss that thread at the time somehow. I'll definitely watch that interview!

I don't think he needs permission, but he's said he has Ian's blessing either way.

The Cult - Dreamtime

There's a good story in the doc about Triumph becoming the headliners of a show after Sammy Hagar bailed. But the best story for my money is about them booked to play Massey Hall and then being told...

Yes, I love this show! Strong writing and acting. I wish the new season was available all at once, but I suppose that's being spoiled from all the binging in this modern era.

My beloved Kids In The Hall are back and their show is exactly the same as it was! Like no time has passed (apart from them looking older). Laugh out loud funny.

I remember in the late 80s when Dennis Miller was the host of SNL's Weekend Update, he made a joke about shaving his head like 'Peter Gabriel circa 1972' and showed a photo of PG with the missing...

I didn't know any Rush titles were out of print, that's insane!

It's probably easy to make that mistake with the live GUP since the covers are practically identical.

Indeed. The official website is rarely updated anymore and any time he's mentioned it, he says he keeps re-working it. I don't understand what the delay is... I thought Now was quite good, with Theo...

Steve Howe - Time

Beautiful album.

From a filmmaking/cinematography perspective, I agree, but as a viewer I grew tired of it a while back.

It's nice to have these available again. Esoteric has done a fine job with the remastering and liner notes (I've read some harsh criticism of the spotty CD versions released years ago). I was hoping...

Loving it as always, but my complaint all along is that they pad the episodes with looooong shots of nothing happening.

A friend of mine and I also spotted him at A&A Records on Yonge Street, flipping through albums. I said 'Is that Rik Emmett?!' so my friend said 'Hi Rik!'... he turned and said 'Hi John!'... my...

Watched this tonight, the latest from the team that brought us Rush: Beyond The Lighted Stage and Metal: A Headbanger's Journey. It was most entertaining, without a dull moment to be found. Plenty of...

Man, you're closer than I am! :O 6 hour drive for me.

Good to see they are finally giving some attention to this mysterious and often overlooked album.

The extended version of In Cauda Venenum is now fully available, with six bonus tracks (three extra songs in each language) :
...

Wow, very interesting story he tells about his time with Marillion! I don't think I've ever heard his side of the story before. GTR story also very cool to hear (although I'm not a fan). He's quite...

Anoraknophobia is great! Although for me it does have two skippers: Map Of The World might as well have been done by Hootie And The Blowfish, and When I Meet God feels plodding to me, I always skip...

Ahh yes, okay. Yeah, Scott was a part of the old Paperlate digest, back in those carefree years of the early internet. Lots of fascinating discoveries back then, before instant information became...

Why the switch, just out of curiosity? Assuming the mp3 player isn't broken, that is.

My wife still listens to her iPod Touch at work, and her co-workers tease her about having this 'ancient' device. Everyone else uses their phones. I still use my Sony player and it suits me just...

I'm sure we could trade stories like old soldiers! Boiling Point is really well done, but almost too well done in a weird way; it was like working a shift again!

It felt very sudden to me. It had been more gradual throughout the series until these last few episodes IMO. Overall it was a reasonably satisfying finale, but it wasn't a 'wow'. They did well, but...

Are you talking about The Annotated Lamb? Ancient now, but still worth reading for anyone interested:

https://www.bloovis.com/music/lamb.html

I need to see that doc. As someone who worked 20+ years in restaurants/bars, I loved and related to Kitchen Confidential. So much of that book mirrored my life (or at least, my lifestyle) in those...

He actually makes a tiny cameo in this one. Excellent actor, loved him in The Way We Live Now.

We watched Death On The Nile last night, the second Poirot story Kenneth Branagh has attempted. I don't know, I really like Branagh but he makes a lot of changes to Poirot. He's given him a new back...

And I could have easily chosen Godbluff as my VDGG choice, as I consider both that and Pawn Hearts as interchangeable 10/10 classics.

Okay, why not then. But I reserve the right to change my mind almost immediately. Excluding jazz/fusion titles (I'd need a separate list) and eliminating duplicate band choices:

Änglagård - Hybris...

For an extra fee, yes.

It comes with a tracking # though.

Weather Report - Black Market
Lonely Robot - Feelings Are Good
Babe Ruth - First Base
The Tangent - Songs From The Hard Shoulder (twice)

It's on in Canada, so I'd have to assume so.

I watched the first episode of this series, and it's not really my style. I thought it was going to be something a bit more dark and subdued, but it's more slick, flashy and going for laughs. Also,...

Although I've never actually listed mine out, I can say with certainty that you and I have at least three in common, and others are close (might swap them out for other classics by the same band). I...

I mix these up all the time too! I thought I was the only one.

Happy birthday!

Looking forward to this.

I don't remember Zeppelin having Rikki Rockett as their drummer...?

WHERE'S FACE VALUE?

God, AGAIN? :rofl

Some interesting topics covered here. Better than most I've seen/read from him in the last several years, not a lot of stock answers.

Nightwish kicked off their North American tour last night in Toronto. Floor sounds pretty fantastic, that long note at the end is incredible:

There are actually a few great stores right here in southern Ontario with lots of prog to be found both on LP and CD, new and used. But as far as 'over the border' is concerned, what about Princeton...

Judas Priest - Defenders Of The Faith
Heart - Little Queen
Janison Edge - The Services Of Mary Goode
M!ndgames - Actors In A Play

True, that's more accurate, although as far as a lot of fans are concerned, it might as well be the same thing. Speaking for myself, I don't travel great distances to see bands.



I can't...

I don't intend that subject line as 'click-bait'. I'm thinking out loud because of a comment Ben Levin made on this video (which is a very interesting watch BTW) :

...

I think they should do Top 10 Magma Songs For A First Date.

I did, but not as much as other people did. There are always a handful of albums each year where that's the case, of course.

^^ I believed you! :p But I looked anyway. We had two others in common as well (Ske and Aquaserge).

Last year's Man Out Of Time is really fantastic.

Not to mention the rare Epping Forest, with PG's various antics and bits of costume. I recall seeing The Musical Box do that song and the singer had the nylon stocking, but I don't think he had the...

That's brutal Barry. Absolutely sucks. :mad :down

Maybe I'm lucky but I've always found them to be nice enough people. I didn't know the CDs were gone though, I haven't been since 2019. I need to get back to Montreal soon and hit up my favourite...

It's a blessing in disguise that the other guy got that last Amazon copy then. :) Pricewise, the Minstrel 40th digibook is up there as one of the most sought-after secondhand titles in this series,...

The La Grande book edition is long sold out, I'm not sure what you had in your cart at Amazon but I suspect it wasn't the right one. What was the price?

The one at Burning Shed listed at £11.49 is...

Indeed. I'm hoping they do manage to secure a release date for this year. Fall would be perfect IMO. I'm always keeping my eye out for news on this while simultaneously trying not to be a pest. :lol

I asked my label contact recently and he said he thinks it's not until next year now. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that something changes.
