He released three of these tunes as "singles" and then released a CD with an additional 4 songs, so most interested parties have already heard half the album. Maybe he should announce that he has an...

Yeah, it would seem that his dour take on mass consumption and mindless consumerism did not translate into mass consumption of his product.

I agree but as I've pointed out elsewhere, within this thread I believe, dude has been in some outright dogs since KoQ. He had a great stand-up routine way back when as well. I'd like to see him find...

there's a YT video of Mike Post talking about the making of the Rockford theme. There's also a great fan made video with an extended version of the song, with a "special guest" answering machine...

Maybe they have a 45rpm super-dee-duper audiophile option. Several years ago XTC had a double LP reissue of Skylarking that was 45rpm. Maybe somebody could explain why one might want a 45rpm edition,...

Me too

I bet many artists who were active during CD's heyday are glad for the vinyl revival. That way no one will question a release being only 48min, when that will fit perfectly on one LP.

Yes. Although MTV launched in 1981 many markets in the US didn't get MTV until around 1985 for one reason or another. My home town (in west Tennessee) got MTV around 1985 despite protests from...

Wasn't that how they initiated band members back then?

somebody stop Scrotum Scissor from buying up all the copies, damn it!

I'll probably get this just because I own everything else, even if I think they peaked with Deadwing. FoaBP and Incident are albums I rarely reach for, in fact I only listen to Sentimental and Time...

Now that's funny :lol

I can't say I've ever heard it before but I like it.

Musically speaking, I'm liking what I've heard so far. I do miss the vocal harmonies of the early '00s. Richard Barbieri is a welcome presence in Wilson's brand of brooding prog. Glad to to hear that...

I always joked that Spock's Beard, with NDV as the singer, came across at times like an edgier, suped-up Billy Joel. But then again I like Billy Joel. I can honestly say every SB album has good...

I thought it was a clever take on Shakespeare's The Tempest, so the premise is great, but maybe it's the dialog you don't like? No, it isn't great dialog, its rather stiff in places. Earl Holliman's...

^Didn't they just show this a few months ago?

Anyhow, still a great looking movie; set design and special effects would influence every sci-fi movie for decades (Star Trek borrowed heavily)....

I've had similar conversations with people who think that because you can convert MP3 files to WAVE (so that you can burn them to a CD) that you have somehow reversed the process that converted the...

I love that Steph Curry came along when he did and brought art back to shooting. Not that there has been a lack of shooting in the NBA the last 10 years or so, but my gods, 10 or 15 years ago it...

Remember when east-v-west coast trash talk was funner.

Yeah, I didn't like the videos from Wilson's last solo album

Cartridge is properly installed and aligned

I liken this Kate Bush phenomenon to the days when we trusted humans called "DJs", people with their ears to the ground and had a particular experience that allowed them to foretell what a listening...

Kinda like Midnight Oil is Australia's answer to The Tragically Hip

shades of when Led Zeppelin had the song, Houses of The Holy on their Physical Graffiti album immediately following the the album, Houses of The Holy. An OCD nightmare.

My old TT (in deep storage) has a Nagaoka cartridge (I don't remember the number). It had great midrange and punchy mid-bass but didn't play terribly low and sounded a tad rolled off.

Maybe Colin Edwin and Chris Maitland should form a band called XPT.

Same here. Although there was some confusion at first as the Beds Are Burning video hit MTV right around the same time The Hills Have Eyes movie came out. "They're not the same guy, right?"

My wife's not a fan either. She liked Rubberband Girl for her workout playlist. Years ago when I pointed that KB had collaborated with Peter Gabriel a couple of times she said, "that makes sense"......

The song gets a tad repurposed in that it's used to accentuate escape or overcoming an adverse situation instead of what it was originally written about - men and women switching "places" to better...

50 CDs ? Somebody be liking them some AL Stewart. Yowza. I don't think I own more than 10 or 15 CDs of any artist

Jeff Lynn did it with a new 2CD ELO compilation a few years back. 20 years ago or so Ozzy (more likely Sharon) re-recorded his first few solo albums with new drum and bass parts

Good call... maybe Bjork too.

I don't know if I think Tori is better than Kate or vice versa. Tori's God (song and video) is straight up Kate Bush. In fact Tori played a cover of KB's Running Up...

I've read elsewhere that other KB tunes are receiving bumps in downloads, especially Wuthering Heights. I hadn't listened that song in years. I remember a show on HBO called video jukebox that showed...

I never knew Gabriel was prog back in the day. I remember him being referred to as art rock which is what I would have said about 70s Bowie or even Kate Bush.

While we're on the subject... why is Kate Bush so highly regarded in prog circles? Is it because she was quirky? I have to admit that she wasn't even on my (admittedly limited) radar until the video...

I was never on the hate Taylor Swift bandwagon but she's never put anything out I need to hear twice and some of her songs get on my nerves due to overplay but that's not really her fault. Yes, her...

Actually, On Indefinite Hiatus reads like an Anathema album title

Eagles, Fleetwood Mac, The Cars, Captain Beefheart

Yep. Instant 'channel scan' button every time Harvest Aorta comes on the radio

Or Danny Partridge

Will I like it?






Good to see you posting again

I was pleased with the inclusion of Running Up That Hill (its a recurring presence) in the Stranger Things soundtrack but boy is season 4 turning out to be tedious. I dig the reworked Journey song...

Well, there was the tour with Damn Yankees where he would poke fun at Dennis DeYoung. Maybe that's what he's referring to?

I had to check it out... yep, terrible. For someone lauded as a pioneer of glam and punk rock he sure was lazy and rested on his laurels the last 10 or so years of his life. He could have covered one...

I never checked out And I'll Scratch Yours . Scratch My Back so underwhelmed me and when 3 of the artists I would have been most interested in hearing do a PG cover showed no desire to reciprocate...

He was here as of March to start the 2022 NFL Discussion thread (him being the official, unofficial, annual ribbon cutter of the yearly NFL thread).

Depeche Mode is one of those bands that I could probably be satisfied with a Compilation. I owned Some Great Reward and Violator and would only consider the latter to be a masterpiece. I used to call...

Yes. That and a great running back. Not only have the Seahawks declined on defense they've been a running game by committee with a stable of oft injured, unreliable backs.

He originally made a lot of hay by being a threat to run and not so much the modern-day Fran Tarkington he's been the last few seasons. And not unlike Tarkington in his last few years has been able...

Yep. The members of The Band cut their teeth in Ronnie Hawkins outfit. They were pert near seasoned pros by time the were sequestered by Bob Dylan to record Bob's first foray into "electrical" sound....

I've just been list to Ramshackled on YT. It's good in places.

Did Alan play any keyboard or piano?

And it's ok if he didn't write any of the song lyrics. They aren't good.

I own a couple of their CDs from long ago.

60 seems like young age to die from natural causes. Maybe in 1930.

RIP

With regards to Rock Academy, it's not unlike most after school youth programs - they're all pay-to-play. My daughter was involved in a swim club that competed on a circuit. There was a yearly fee...

It's a fun mental exercise but one thing's for sure, they were in the same league.

I know what you mean. A lot of derision thrown Banks' way. Yeah, he does have an English statesman aire about him but yeesh! There's someone trying to slag him on just about every interview on YT....

I thought as a tribute to Alan and Chris... oh bother. I shoulda known better. Yep, bad idea on my part.

Yep, Les Paul was that voice crying in the wilderness, "He is coming! He is coming! And he will be called the Redeemer!"

I was gonna ask but thought better of it.


Oh I get it. The name Yes has the most cache. And I guess there's still Steve Howe. They'd already planned to go on without Alan, presumably with his...
