I guess the Memorial Day weekend was a popular time to get married - my 36 year anniversary will be the Tuesday after.
The 14th symphony is a song cycle of songs about death.
Just listened to this - it was released 5 days ago. Amazing, compelling stuff. Stripped down production - with voice and guitar way up front, limited sparse accompaniment from other instruments. It...
Rolf Harris: Serial sex abuser and ex-entertainer dies aged 93. Probably not known much outside of the UK but he was a very well known artist, singer and general tv personality. His arrest came out...

I think another “classical” composer whose music would be appealing to prog fans would be Alan Hovhannes. This discussion is getting interesting, I would throw in a question - is prog absolute or...
Here come the warm jets.
For me the 8th, 10th and 13th quartets completely blow my mind and have done so since my young teens - I’m now 63. Of the symphonies, only #s 2 and 3 have failed to completely merge with my DNA. I...

Congrats! I knew I should have moved to Canada!
There was a restaurant near my office called “Artisanale” - but we just referred to it as Artie’s Anal ….. which brings us back to buttplugs.
Probably was, I think she was married to a member of Family, and I have heard about the work with Stomu Yamashta.
Just saw a YouTube video mentioning Linda Lewis had passed away. She had a few hits in the mid-70s and can be heard wailing away on David Bowie’s Panic in Detroit. She was a pretty good songwriter...
I really loved her work. I must say, even though Os Mutantes we’re not on any of them, the David Byrne series of Brazilian music compilations opened my ears to a huge world of brilliant music. I...
Reminds me of the quote attributed to Richard Branson….
“It’s easy to become a millionaire - start off as a billionaire and invest in an airline”.
This looks like more fun - proud of my home town team

Very sorry to report the passing of a close friend yesterday. You may or may not have heard of him his name was Neville Chesters. His life story is the stuff of legend which his Wiki page only...
I must admit, I was a huge fan of the first season of Black Mirror to the point I was, I’m sure, annoying in my gushing to anyone who would listen, but I feel that the quality has declined more and...

Rachel is without doubt a national treasure and a truly magnificent creative force - but two pianos says one thing to me - surprise guest(s)!
He didn’t record enough, but what I heard was really great. I have an old recording from a concert where he played in a trio of tenor players - the other two were Dewey Redman and Henry Threadgill....
I remember the same thing - except I read it in Mad Magazine about 50 years ago - no kidding.
Which adblocker do you use - I have one built into my browser (Opera) but it doesn’t stop YouTube ads.
I think there is a connection between video length and the number of ad breaks. I remember one YouTuber saying he keeps his videos less than 8 minutes for that very reason.
The most interesting thing about that notice is how they got the comma beside the th on 9th. Did they just highlight the characters and reduce font size?
Come to think of it the whole notice looks...
Is it possible to automatically send threads to a folder based on a single criterion e.g. all threads with “Beefheart” in the title would go to a folder named Beefheart.
My sister did the test and I guess we should have exactly the same profile what with having the same two parents. That being the case I am:

I order food from Instacart a lot - only last week we got a delivery which included a huge pack of chicken thighs, a 5lb package of ground beef and a gigantic rack of spare ribs - none of which I had...
And of course the Doors’ Hello I love You is a ripoff of the Kinks’ All Day and All of the Night
I always liked Charles Mingus’ “All the Things You Could Be By Now If Sigmund Freud's Wife Was Your Mother"

Gary’s solo on Call Me the Breeze from Second Helping is one of the greatest highlights in the whole Skynyrd catalog. RIP maestro.
Carlos Garnett the great saxophonist who featured memorably on Miles Davis’ albums On the Corner, Big Fun and Get Up With It, has passed away in his home country of Panama.

Truly a musical giant. Not many musicians covered the ground he did - including incredible contributions to the work of 3 of my absolute top favourite artists - Miles Davis, Milton Nascimento and...

I always thought a duet of Roger Chapman and Feargal Sharkey ( of the Undertones ) singing “To All the Girls I’ve Loved Before” would be awesome.
First time I heard him was the edited version of Bullfrog Blues(full version on Live in Europe) which appeared on a free flexi-disc e.p. from one of the British music papers. Been a massive fan ever...
For me it was this one - I seem to recall a court case where she was accused of desecrating the American flag by wearing this bikini. Fortunately the judge did not agree.

This guy’s YouTube Channel deals mostly with Tinnitus masking sounds and other sounds based on the frequencies of the colour spectrum. Videos typically last exactly 10 hours - so this is short by his...
That’s sad news - saw them back in the day - opening act was Blondie who were practically booed off the stage. Television were amazing.

Talking of scamming the elderly, anyone have experience with reverse mortgages? They get a hell of a lot of bad press although I can’t tell if that is because they are intrinsically bad or are just...
I just saw this yesterday - absolutely priceless. A hip hop fan listens to CTTE for the first time. His verdict …”filthy”

I hope they are filming the tour because, if anything “happens” to Carl, they can use that footage to keep the tour going forever.
I’m wrestling with this very question almost daily. I have a couple of factors which push me in opposing directions.
1. My wife will get half of my full retirement age amount (67) so we would be...
