An nice surprise. Look forward to hearing it
This track sounds exactly like I would expect and hope. Pure bliss.
That's a good point. And I probably wasn't being fair to Rather in my expectations either. He's been at the pinnacle of journalism for decades and interviewed all facets of society; you don't get to...
Watched this last night and really enjoyed it. Despite my lowish expectations going in (figured Dan Rather probably wasn't all the familiar with Rush/Geddy) this turned out to be one of the better...
You want a review? I'll give you a review. :)
Easily the best KC show I've seen (out of a whopping 3) and quite possibly the best show I've ever seen in 30+ years of concerts. Honestly, huge fan...
That's odd. It's showing up for me in the DGM shop with frequent flier pricing of $190.00
Agreed. Ade's vocals are great fun, especially live, and that wall of guitar noise is one of my favorite Crimson moments. To me, though, Indiscipline is primarily a drumming showcase. I love hearing...
From interviews I've seen over the years, it seems he views his live persona as is he's an actor playing a role with some dada and absurdism thrown in for good measure and not a reflection of the...
Atlanta tickets bought! 1)Sec. D Row C for Monday 2)Sec F Row AA for Tuesday.
FWIW, both WAKE and LIZARD work as presale passwords. I tried both. All tickets are $125
I know Mary's a big Yes/KC fan and judging by Helium's last album (The Magic City) and her solo records, she's also into the other 3 of the big 5 at the very least. Nice to see her get a mention on PE
Vultures is easily my favorite ABWH track though I can see why it was left off the album as it really doesn't fit stylistically. I agree Teakbois, while no Heart of the Sunrise, is not *quite* as bad...
Listened to the track again. As I put in the other thread, still not really liking Ninet/chorus, a little too over the top. The overall track is fine though, verses that remind me of PT's Lazarus and...
Nice to know there's a fellow FOT on here. Scharpling/Wurster are still the funniest thing going though I must admit I don't listen to The Best Show nearly as much since it left WFMU.
Indeed there was. Basically Frightened came out a couple of years ago is a good overview of the Col. life/career for the so inclined. Interesting, worthless factoid: Hampton was apparently somewhat...
A true southern eccentric. I was always proud he came from my neck of the woods and he was beloved around here. If you're reading this thread you probably have Music To Eat, but if you don't get it...
Yeah, Twist Quest is my least favorite of my three thus far, but still pretty good.
Wish Mew could have enough stateside success to justify more widespread US touring.
:lol
When Big Ears was first announced several years ago I was convinced there must be another Knoxville, TN somewhere. I guarantee you more Knoxvillanders(?) can tell you without hesitation who was...
Keep the reports coming. Big Ears lineup is always incredible and this year looks no different. I have no idea why I've never tried to go since it's relatively close by.
Kudos to the copy editor for giving The Fugs higher billing than Twiggy. :lol Probably the only time those two shared a cover.
Most (all?) of Jack Rose albums have been recently reissued so they may be a little easy to find. You can't really go wrong with any of them.
I'd also strongly recommend Glenn Jones (who Rose...
Like most, I was sort of expecting this, but it still hurts. With all the contributions Wetton made to the music I love, Crimson in particular, I don't know what else to say but thank you.
Great news. +/- continues to get better with each listen and I expect this one will as well. New track sounds good, I think it'll be able to hold it's own with other Mew album closers.
Agreed. I was pleasantly surprised to have such a strong Crazy Horse album this late in the game.
Massive fan here. I admire Neil's ability to pretty much go where he wants artistically and not really be all that concerned about success or failure, commercial or artistic; it's the attempt that...
That's interesting and good to know. To my formally untrained ears, I would agree Dancing Queen is a perfect pop song. That intro, those little piano fills, the chorus. Simply immaculate. I've never...
I think this is correct. You are not limited on the number of different songs you can download, just on the number of times you can download each track. Someone asked a similar question on the DGM...
I'd forgotten how good this clip is. A young band that already knew it was pretty damn special, oozing with energy and confidence. Thanks for posting.
I agree completely. As for ELP, probably The Endless Enigma but as one of my favorite vocalists, I'm rate them all pretty stellar through BSS.
He'd have been a legend to me if only for the first two KC albums. Heck, his Epitaph vocal alone cemented that. But that he was crucial to two bands that shaped my musical world is just amazing. As...
Funny that. A friend just sent me this link and made the same comment about it being proggy. Not too bad.
I'm not and will not be surprised if they never make it, which is equally ridiculous. I still can't believe The Stooges got in, even if it did take umpteen years.
Yep. I'm simplifying a bit, but there's a pretty direct line from Black Flag > Melvins > Green River/Mudhoney > Nirvana/Pearl Jam.
I've never understood this either and agree with you 100%. Even from people that know better and actually care about these sorts of things, I've NEVER heard them mentioned for induction. Most of the...
I'd say that's a respectable turnout all things considered. Good to hear. Way back when, ELPowell didn't manage to fill beyond Row P (that's where we were) on the Fox floor and that was with a hit...
Sounds like Atlanta was a good time and that's all I'd hope for at this point. Just curious, how was the attendance? Thought the Fox might have been a push.
1)La Villa Strangiato
2)YYZ
3)Main Monkey (love the middle section)
4)Limbo (Probably held in higher regard by me than most, just always dug it)
5)Where's My Thing
6)Leave That Thing Alone...
Close. There was a fine Japanese psych band by that name from the late 90s on. They put out several albums but the last one came out seven or eight years ago at this point. Highly recommended if...
I've made a few attempts over the years to delve into them but nothing has really stuck. Admittedly, I've only got a couple of albums of which Meet The Residents is my favorite. Like Ian, I do like...
The gazillion shows Fripp has made available from this lineup (particularly The Night Watch) has made SaBB a little redundant, but I still love it. Larks was the first KC album I bought, but SaBB was...
Mine too. And a real good chance Bottled Out of Eden is going to top my list this year.
Really dig what Monsoon I've heard on the interwebs. But as one who totally missed the boat the first time, I hope so.
Yes
My favorites albums are their first two: The Modern Dance and Dub Housing. But it's the first couple of singles that is my absolute favorite Ubu: Heart of Darkness/30 Seconds Over Tokyo and Final...
In Atlanta. I've been a fan for many years but this was the first chance I've had to see them. David Thomas is without a doubt the most intense, exciting, seated(!) front man working. A great band...
Only had a chance to listen to it once, but really digging it. I've seen Kavus mention a couple of times this was the first time he wrote for this lineup specifically as opposed to him writing and...
Just ordered as well. Can't wait to finally hear it.
Five Suns was my intro to Guapo and still probably my favorite. I'd never heard of the band, but Wayside's listing mentioned a Crimson influence and that's all it took to 'add to cart'. A classic.
I went through a time years ago where I Pet Sounds was about the only album I played, so I've listened to more than probably 99% of my collection. Honestly, there have only been a handful of records...
^^^
Thanks. Was wondering that too.
After living with this album for a little bit, I stand by my original assessment that it's way better than the Orpheum disc. Maybe it's the mix, maybe the performance, maybe just me but the whole...
Cool. I was just about to ask when you expected it. I'll hold off on my Wayside order a few days then.
Forgot about that one. Good album. Lanois plays steel on his own albums occasionally as well.
A couple of more recent bands that I totally forgot about but are among my faves are Friends of Dean...
Zappa's It Just Might Be A One Shot Deal has a nice pedal steel solo by the great Sneaky Pete Kleinow. That's about the closest to an actual prog song/artist example I can think of besides Howe....
Indeed, not just for his time in Black Flag (who still rule and whose importance to the underground cannot be overstated), but all the obscure/forgotten stuff from fringe genres he's helped reissue...
Apologies for the obvious question, but, er, when's the release date? Looked back and didn't see it. Did I dream end of April?
Spun this again just the other day. Moody, mysterious and quite nice. Definitely one of the better things I heard last year.
Anyone tried the sync with Vertigo? (Great movie, btw) I need to get a...
Pretty incredible story that I hadn't heard before. Thanks for posting.
Cool. Thanks.
Glad some on here got to the Atlanta show. I had hoped to go as well since this could very well be my only chance, but with work/family obligations it came at just about the worst time it could plus...
