In 1971 I was the breakfast cook at a drive-in and went in early for prep. There was a jukebox outside and on a cold morning I would run a quarter through it a few times and crank it up, when it...
I have always found it easier to find music for lyrics rather than fit words to existing music. But it is usually some combination of the processes. Great lyrics just somehow fit. You have...

I saw the TV Expedia commercial which ends with the twice-repeated "I'd go the whole wide world" and had to dig out the 7" which is Whole Wide World b/w Semaphore Signals. One of the greatest sloppy...

In these retirement years I do a bit of painting, and grab a handful of cd's at random to accompany the process. Today the handful was from the "h's" and included first Tim Hodgkinson's "Sang", as...

Thanks for the update. I know I should have said "Wayside coming-soon list" but Cuneiform has blended so completely into the aesthetic that they have become the same to me. In any case....
For quite a time, at the top of Cuneiform's "Coming Soon" list there appeared the promise of a new 5UU's record. Lately disappeared from the list...
Has it in fact appeared as a physical thing?...
Though not up to last year's exquisite autumnal conditions (unsurpassed in my Pd experience) this year brings the very typical mostly sunny days with mid-eighties temperatures and moderate humidity....
Floki is maybe the only character that appears through the whole series. ? His journey from deep in the old gods' world, to trying to create a deeply humane commune (?) to being in the New World as...

Has anyone tackled Alex Ross's "Wagnerism"? I made the long march through this forest of scholarship and research and of course then found Wagner everywhere. Start with his amazingly great book "The...
I'm going to guess that the Storybook venue is closed. or sold.
aaaiiieeee.......
Like everyone, I lust for some live musics and as a local I crave a ProgDay. But only as the traditional live Storybook event. Basta with the pixels...

BTW, living locally I have been to many PDs: the past weekend was the best. weather. ever....

My recollection of the NearFest appearance is obnoxiously LOUD guitar.

what a load of crapola. it reminds me of the old line ' I've suffered for my art....now it's your turn.' i expect it is all aimed at future marketing . so sell my bad knee something while i stand....

Well into the year, and who knows something? Too darn quiet. Wish list includes Knifeworld, The Knells, Happy Family (where have the Japanese bands been lately?) of course Thinking Plague and for...
'Rock Bottom' remains to this day the single work I would keep in the world, if forced to choose just one. A stunningly _human_ document...

Breaking my heart that I cannot make this... Incredible line-up! I was wondering if The Knells played live; I am currently obsessed with their very compelling CD. They could do a ProgDay next year...
