LOL! Thanks for the suggestion but i would probably be listening to the next Justin Bieber or something similar. I was just kidding. One of the reasons i have never pursued a musical career is because i didn't want to ruin my passion for it. However i do still want to make my own music. BTW, ANdy i listened to some of your stuff after i noticed you have a site with your music. Great stuff! My kind of weird and interesting stuff

Well there's nothing saying an admin can't just do it himself. It just usually is an SC.

If David wants to bring him back to the admin zone, he can if he'd like. I'll pass on it, though.
And you could always go into the corporate music scene.

Definately a love/hate thing. But the only thing i hate is that i don't have more money to buy more music! Then i think i must make more money. Then i have less time to listen to music. Is there a job here that pays $80K a year with benefits that is just about listening to music? Ha. I'm sure i'd be lowest on the totem pole for that one but i can dream! Well, Andy, you're a 5 star. What do you think about the Faxed ones? Guldbumsen actually knows the guys maybe he should be the one!

Max = owner
SC = Special Collaborator, or a 5 star member other than an admin. And oh god, yea we're all music addicts. There's a great used record store near me that I both hate and love driving by. I hate it because I go in every time and spend stupid amounts of money, and I love it because I always get great new music!

Is Max the site owner? Also Andy said get an SC behind this suggestion. What is SC? Don't think he means South Carolina! Also Guldbamsen, you party animal! I just had a sudden realization that this site is really just a hangout place for music addicts! I know cuz i am one. If i'm near a record store i feel a strange gravitational pull and if i happen to go in i WILL spend money even if its money i don't have

You betcha! I used to hang out with all kinds of degenerates - folks into black metal (the early stuff like Burzum and Ulver), Death Metal, Trash Metal + punk and all of that jazz. We'd burn some cds and head for the woods - start bonfires and drink weird beverages with whiskey/pisang ambon/rum and low fat milk. -AND then the party got started, and things like Faxed Head, Düreforsög, Pere Ubu, Napalm Death, The Fall and other such dark and menacing groups got played. I was usually the one putting on the even weirder s.h.i.t., of which I am very proud. Didn't exactly woo women the way I intended, but it was the perfect way of establishing the man's man that I kept telling myself I was going for

I have yet another question! Since there is a prog archives and a metal music archives and a jazz music archives how do you start a new site in the family here? all these bands that just don't fit in anywhere else. maybe the avant garde archives? i don't know. just an idea. i'm not sure how difficult it is to start a new site like that but i would imagine not super easy!

OK. I get it. Someone needs to make a thread here then and title it EXPERIMENTAL GROUPS THAT ARE COOL BUT DON'T FIT IN ON THIS SITE. I looooooooooove prog but i looooooooooove every other form of music especially music that expands beyond the parameters of established definitions. Maybe when i get rich i'll start a website called MUSIC THAT DOESN'T SUCK! It will include prog, avant garde and anything else that's weird and unorthodox.
Hey Guldbamsen aka Divine! You really know Faxed Head? You're right. Never would've guessed that! |

Heh I was just about to edit my post to reflect something to that effect. I mean, what I've heard from Ulver and Cabezas de Cera the past couple of years has been very progressive imho. The way you just reviewed that Exivius album, I'm betting you've found yet another one who could qualify? (Very nice write up too Andy Made me write the band name down on my list, so as I can remember it the next time I got dough.)

Oh absolutely, very little 'prog rock' is actually progressive and only uses the term prog rock as a blanket term for the style of music that was progressive in the 70s. Of course you will still find border-pushing prog rock bands today, but they are far rarer than they were 40 years ago.

When I was on the RIO team there were many cute avant-pop groups we rejected because they weren't Prog Rock.

Hi there slim canine!
I actually know these guys, which is somewhat of a surprise to most people I would think - seeing as I don't listen to that much metal anymore. Either way, Faxed Head, at least to me, resides under the huuuuuuuuuuuuuge umbrella, where one finds loads of acts, usually those who play experimental and boundary pushing music....but alas, this is a long ways from prog imo. Sometimes it feels as if this place would be far more manageable, if only we'd change the name to Experimental Music Archives.....but then again we'd be defeating the purpose of the intentional Prog Rock Guide we've aspired to all these years. I've said this numerous of times elsewhere, but personally I think most of what constitutes genuine progressive music today is to be found outside of prog.

It's not an economic or technical issue more than it is a reputation thing. PA, like Dean said in his PR post, has a niche reputation. With too many bands like this added, we might start to chip away at that reputation. Granted, if an SC wants these guys here, I'll listed to them with a PR ear, but I don't think they have a place here. You're right, Mr. Bungle, Secret Chiefs 3, and etc are all very important, but like the definition says, is it worth nit picking over the small details? |

I have read this. Actually i've read every definition for every subgenre. I think Mr Bungle is an important enough band in prog history to warrant Faxed Head as prog related. Just my opinion. Hope someone whose opinion counts agrees! Also another question. What would it matter if bands like Faxed Head were added? Is storage on servers becoming a problem? Too expensive? Just wondering |

There's no clear-cut case for prog related, and we designed it that way. We don't want prog related to become the biggest sub, so we make it very difficult for bands to be added there.
These guys have a small chance, but you'd need to find an SC willing to champion for them. |

I suggest you read Dean's post on the subject of Prog Related in the long-established Add Buckethead thread. In this post he gives his own take on the matter, based on many years of experience, and a link to the PA definition of Prog Related which is to be found on the genre page. It should give you a pretty good idea of the criteria for this category, and also the reasons why so few bands/artists actually get added there. |
