Third is absolutely fan-flippin'-tastic. I've got several albums by the Softs, but that's easily my favorite one. The mood is singular and fully of mystery for me. It's a perfect late-nite listen...

Thanks for sharing. That was a very insightful read. :up

Esperanza Spalding - Exposure

Unfortunately I didn't get into Sanguine Hum until Now We Have Light came out, so I can't comment on the Rosfest show. Really wish I could have seen them though. Great band for sure. :up

Now We...

It's all good; I didn't think you were criticizing me, and I hope it didn't seem like I was criticizing you because that wasn't my intention at all. You made good points, and I was just attempting to...

The Flower Kings - Islands




Yeah it is! Not sure why I got their second album first, but I had an iTunes gift card and decided to buy their first one. :lol Very good stuff.

If that's the one I'm thinking of, it has a killer version of "Awake and Nervous" on it.

Nice, man! I just followed you. :up

Had a feeling we'd have a bit of overlap in our collections. I did some scrolling through your collection and spied several that were on my wishlist actually....

Hey, I actually just changed it so it's easier to find. :D

What's yours?

Yikes... Me and my big mouth... I'm sure there's a lot about him I don't know. And I don't doubt those stories of him being abusive; it checks out. But I'm not happy that he died either (and I'm not...

Yes, I'm inclined to agree. It's sad that he ended up the way he did, as it didn't have to be that way. He could have spent the rest of his life doing more; he had wealth and a legacy -- but these...

I'm very sorry to hear this, Duncan. My condolences to you and your family. :(

Mu is great! And it was a late discovery for me too. Better late than never I suppose. :D

I got this one too when it went on sale. Glad I did! :)

There are melodies of their albums that will pop into my head at random times (like "The Game" from their second album, or "Swirling Contour"). I've found lots of their songs to be memorable for me....

Yep, what he said. :D

Same here. :up

Rock Bottom is wonderful. :up I'm sitting down with some rye whiskey at the moment, and listening to Dai Kaht (and before that, Richard Pinhas' Mu). But after this is done, I'm gonna queue up Rock...

I feel the same way.

Would love to visit Norway too.

Dai Kaht - s/t

^ I like Submarine Silence quite a bit, and have been enjoying the new one pretty well. Unabashedly retro, but Roversi has the chops and the writing skills to pull it off and make for an enjoyable...

^ Awesome! I'm glad you liked it more this time. Totally agree about Wyatt's drumming on that one. :D

Masahiko Togashi - Spiritual Nature

Really nice slice of kosmigroov. :ipa

Your friend/bandmate was right. :up

And wow, I remember Datarock! I heard their song "The Pretender" back in 2010 I think and really liked it. Small world. :)

So sorry to hear about this. I never met him, but I remember him from the discussions here. He seemed like a good guy. :(

It's been a long time since I saw Clue. I don't remember enjoying it as much as Murder by Death, but the goofball humor of MbD really appealed to me (the same reason why "Airplane!" is one of my...

"Murder by Death" is funny, I don't know what you're talking about. :lol

Since it's by Rian Johnson, Knives Out is an upending of the whodunnit genre and its tropes, to the point where it almost...

I beg to differ. Pedro Pascal was a very good, even relatable villain. His performance was the best in the whole film.

The 2nd side of the s/t does lose me a little, around the time of "Dedicated to Hugh But You Weren't Listening". Definitely prefer side 1, although "Instant Kitten" is pretty killer. The rest of the...

I'm glad you shared it. After all, I rely on your opinion quite a bit when it comes to shopping for music. :up

For a while I've been curious how the two MM studio albums were regarded here in...

Yes indeed, this was a nice surprise from last year. I think I'll queue this one up for today as well. :up

Interesting. I think I understand what you mean too. And I didn't mean to disparage Little Red Record; it's a great disc of course. The self-titled one has a cozy quality that I really like, and for...

Welcome aboard, my man! :D

On Land and In the Sea was my first Cardiacs album, followed by A Little Man. You won't regret it!

Todd Rundgren’s Utopia - s/t

Yeah, what he said. :up

Btw, there is a local covers band named Jed-Eye who plays around the town where I live. Our bassist is their ex-bassist actually (although we had played together in another...

Well... While Little Red Record is not quite as great as the debut, there’s still plenty of worthwhile stuff on the 2-CD edition IMO. Even with Wyatt not being the driving force, there’s lots to love...

:lol

Kinks were great, man. Lola Versus Powerman and the Moneygoround, Part One is a fantastic record IMO. But they had plenty of other great music back then.

Jed, how old is your son by the...

I'm with ya. I still have Facebook, but I never use it to actually post anything. It's 99% terrible now, IMO. Only reason I've kept it is to stay in touch with a few friends, and because of Spotify....

Totally agreed, it's great stuff. Like you said, it's heartfelt. :) Even if it's only a snippet of Tim's brilliance, I hope that video brings his music to more peoples' attention.

My parents both...

March is so good. It's been a minute since I last heard it, so I need to queue that one up. Back when I first got into Matching Mole, I bought all the live stuff I could find (the Cuneiform and Hux...

:rofl

^

:lol That's one of the advantages of being a progressive rock fan for sure. :D

My apologies. I didn't know that you have and moderate a group there, and I didn't mean any offense by what I said. Facebook itself is so full of noise and general unpleasantness IMO, but I made a...

After around 2 months and having given up hope of ever seeing it, my white vinyl copy of Islands finally arrived a few days ago. :D I've listened to it a couple times on the turntable and it sounds...

:lol I dunno... It depends on my mood. ;)

Same here. The poor audio quality (and performance on mobile devices) just makes it impractical for me.

Yeah, I got my copy from Bandcamp too and it took a pretty long time to arrive. I like it a lot! A friend of mine whose tastes sometimes overlap with mine checked it out when he asked what I'd been...

It does not get much better, if at all. That's a great record. :up

It's on iTunes too, I think.

It's a flippin' fantastic song! Instant Cardiacs mood is right. :D Absolutely brilliant composition, and it's so high energy. I got HBaEB on vinyl back in 2018 I think; would love to get Sing To God...

My vinyl copy did not come with any video discs, so I don’t think they’re packaged together. It doesn’t bother me really, as I rarely watch concert videos at home.

I disagree. I think that's exactly what people are saying, and some have been alluding to in this very thread.




Oh lord... :roll You must not have been around back when Phil Collins ruined...

I've heard really good things about Soul. I'd like to see it.

UP is probably my favorite Pixar movie overall. :)

Took a brief break from Canterbury to give Heaven Born a spin. Is there a more fist-pumpingly awesome song than "She Is Hiding Behind the Shed"? I'm hard pressed to think of one at the moment. :horns

The method by which PE does not represent the opinions of the general public. ;)

Look... The critics I've seen so far have liked the new record. So beyond a few folks here, and some guys angrily...

I got the vinyl copy in the mail pretty recently. I should put it on the ol' turntable this weekend. :ipa

Just speaking for myself, I've read everyone's list in this thread for at least two reasons: 1) To learn more about others' tastes, and 2) to scope out more new music for myself. Already got several...

You're right, they did. I may have to splurge, even though I'm running out of room to store things...

Totally agreed about Sinclair and his keyboard work. Those chords in "O Caroline" really grabbed me from the get-go; when I first heard the MM s/t disc, I was not expecting such an eminently...
