Prog Jan 18 issue

[bondegezou]

Very much enjoying the cover disc of the latest issue of Prog, the one with the Gentle Giant cover: great songs from I am the Manic Whale, Gleb Kolyadin and Machines Dream among others.

The magazine includes their critics' choice top 20 of the year. This goes from Steve Wilson's To the Rock, Anathema's The Optimist, Public Service Broadcasting's Every Valley etc. down to Soen's Lykaia. I have not heard a single one of these (although I did see their 3rd best gig of the year, ARW in London, and their top multimedia of the year, the V&A's Floyd exhibition)! I may be out of touch.

Did he sneak out a gospel album or something?

Man, you guys in the UK get the mag so quickly! I'm a Canadian subscriber and still digesting #82 (Rush Farewell To Kings cover) which only recently arrived.

Looks like the Marillion fanatics stuffed the ballot box last year....

Ooops. I think he's great, but I don't keep up with his releases!

Been looking for Issue 81 in Barnes & Noble, Florida but could not find it. Checked the Prog magazine website and they skip from Issue 80 to 82. What happened to Is
sue 81? Who is on the cover?

I have not gotten this issue yet in Michigan either. Got the Classic Rock year end issue over a week ago though.

Mikael Akerfeldt. It was a popular issue that sold out quickly due to the exclusive live Opeth CD that was included. It was also an issue that took a really long time to get to subscribers in some parts of the world (Canada for sure), leading to a lot of complaints, but it did finally arrive (then #82 arrived about ten days later).

Checked my local Barnes & Noble last week and didn't see a single issue. Today they had just one copy of the Mikael Akerfeldt issue. I only buy it sporadically, but I'm keeping an eye out for the next couple of issues to see if they mention my new album, of which I sent them a review copy. I'll definitely grab the Gentle Giant issue whenever it might appear on these shores.

Just came from a B&N and got the Akerfeldt issue - they had a lot of them, guess I should have picked up an extra one! Figures in Scarsdale, most expensive city in the US (not where I live) there aren't a lot of Opeth fans.

[JKL2000]

BTW, just read that the live Opeth CD of September 19, 2015 at the Ancient Roman Amphitheatre, Plovdiv, Bulgaria is only five tracks, so not the full show. Tracks are: Eternal Rains, Demon of the Fall, Devil's Orchard, Grand Conjuration, Deliverance.

The CD features an orchestra, and apparently the article says "the band only met the orchestra for the first time four hours before the show," and I hear it sounds as such. Bummer...

Scarsdale? Isn't that where the School of Hard Knocks is located?

The public high school looks like Hogwarts.

Technically the B&N is in Eastchester not Scarsdale. Having grown up in Eastchester, this always annoyed me. They like to say they are in Scarsdale because it sounds more prestigious even though they just have a Scarsdale PO address. Same goes for Lord & Taylor's up the street. It's in Eastchester not Scarsdale. (People reading this outside of the NYC are will have no idea what I'm talking about.)

I really don't give a damn where it is. I hardly ever go in that area. I live in Hastings-on-Hudson, so there's not much of a difference between Yonkers, Eastchester, or Scarsdale to me! It's all "the place you go shopping when you can't avoid it."

Funny.....PROG has not mentioned the release of this issue yet.

"In 2013, the infusion of urban professionals from New York City resulted in characterization of the town as an example of "hipsturbia", a neologism coined by The New York Times to describe the hip lifestyle as lived in suburbia by "hipsters." '

Daddy don't live in that New York City
No more
He don't celebrate Sunday on a Saturday night
No more
Daddy don't need no lock and key
For the piece he stowed
Out on Avenue D
Daddy don't live in that New York City
No more

Daddy don't drive in that Eldorado
No more
He don't travel on down to the neighborhood
Liquor store
Lucy still loves her coke and rum
But she sits alone
Cause her daddy can't come
Daddy don't drive in that Eldorado
No more

Driving like a fool out to Hackensack
Drinking his dinner from a paper sack
He says I gotta see a joker
And I'll be right back

Daddy don't live in that New York City
No more
He can't get tight every night
Pass out on the barroom floor
Daddy can't get no fine cigar
But we know you're smoking
Wherever you are
Daddy don't live in that New York City
No more

^ The hipster thing didn't really happen here, the NY Times just thought for a while that it was - the majority of people here are older writers, musicians, and other artistic types who've lived here a long time.
