That's good. I recently had a run in on Facebook with a former PE member who was banned from PE, and I want to avoid any other people like that.
Sometimes the more I interact with people on the internet about music, the less I want to interact with people on the internet about music.
Now there's a quote. So true. This morning I posted a review on social media after working hard at it for several days. Immediately someone pounced on the one line they disagreed with (after misinterpreting it, naturally) and ignored the rest of it. Last week, we had a full interview feature lifted entirely from our site and shamelessly re-posted on someone else's blog with all formatting and the author's name removed. Thankless stuff sometimes, I tell ya. It can be hard to get motivated to do these things for people when so many people flat-out suck.

Another interview with Ian:

Here's a quote the Broadsword lovers will be pleased with...
Steven is world-renowned for being able to do that and, being a music fan and a great fan of that era of progressive and classic rock, he’s the man for the job. He is about to embark on yet another (remix) for us. He always said he would finish at the end of the seventies but he is going to work on the Broadsword album from 1982 as the next project. He will, as always, fire at me some rough fader-up mixes and say ‘What do you think about this?’”

I'm probably alone in that I think Broadsword is the last excellent album JT ever did. Under Wraps and Crest of a Knave are about 1/2 okay when I'm in the right mood and everything after that is bleah, except "Another Christmas Song," which I love.
I remember not being impressed with Roots to Branches when I heard it, but maybe one day I'll give that another chance, based on people's enthusiasm around here.
"Arf." -- Frank Zappa, "Beauty Knows No Pain" (live version)
^ I more or less agree with you, but then I really haven't heard much of any Tull after the 80s.
I've said it before, but I really hope they record real drums for Under Wraps
For those here who do like these 'unboxing' videos, this one might interest you.

Amazon just emailed me to say about a 5 or 7 day delay with shipping. I'm expecting more delays.
What can this strange device be? When I touch it, it brings forth a sound (2112)
I think it's the last great Tull album as well

a 5 disc deluxe of A.... really?
how's Ian's health, any news about his cancer?
I remember around the time of SFTW hearing on the radio that it was his 30th birthday and thinking, he looks more like 50.
Now that he's 73, he looks 73.
He looked like 73 at 20, he's finally caught up. unnamed.jpg
