^ I don't know that one, I somehow skipped on his acoustic forays, but I have his first solo album, some good songs and plenty of psychedelic/hallucinogenic experiments.

Maybe they aren't very good at reading and think that you are browsing Frogarchives? Be a good steward of the Fripp's innocent, and occasionally disoriented creatures :) |

^ I just walked to the local bakery and passed so many dead toads along the path and road. And as there is a large pond in the parkland next door, they are rife. Occasionally snakes slither out from that area too.
.......and in NYC, I may get harassed by a squirrel in one of the parks..... |

^ Ha !! We have plenty of crocodiles up in the northern part of the state, lucky for us, they don't come down where we are. Plenty of snakes, though - deadly ones ; King Browns, Red-Bellied Blacks (both have been in our yard on several occasions) Green Tree Snakes (non-venomous).
Sometimes I walk to the 'beach' - mangroves here, can walk out for a mile at low tide, nearly stepped on a Blue-Ring Octopus once, scared the sh*t out of me. Anyway - tried to get through the Messhugah album I bought - complete rubbish - can't stand it, musically it's O.K. A bit brutal, but the growling vocals are juvenile crap. I was expecting more - sounds like a bunch of angry speed-freaks. Won't be spinning it again........ Edited by Tom Ozric - January 25 2015 at 22:07 |

^ I can't do growling vocals....I hope Anathema continue the path of Distant Satellites, with the melodic vocals and non growls.
Messhugah as well as Mastodon I would like to like, but I cannot not......It's ok, plenty of music still to discover...non-growling

^ I still have 2 Mastodon LP's to listen to - I flicked through Crack The Skye, it sounded fine. One of the vocalists is very Ozzy-like for sure. The music is melodic, technical, and pretty worthy.
This Messhugah arrangement is totally immature - I dunno, if I were an angst-ridden druggy late-teenager with a chip on my shoulder, maybe it would sound fine, but I'm not (anymore) - it's just noise to my ears. Sure they know odd time sigs, fast playing and a degree of tightness, but it just comes off as a total, nasty mess. Not for me. I bombed out with this album. Having said, I liked what I heard of Behold The Arctopus - now that style of tech-metal is awesome. |

I've been a fan of metal since the eighties and preferred hard rock to prog style bands in the seventies.
I don't like growling screaming vocals. It takes away from and often overpowers the music. The music, especially loud obnoxious guitar, is why I listen in the first place. Philip Anselmo (Pantera, Down) is borderline for me and he's even hard to take. I prefer something more like Pepper Keenan's vocals in Corrosion Of Conformity.

Very nice.....first play and really enjoy this one. Very good sound, brass is natural sounding and solid bass lines.

Another wonderful reworking by Nick Davis, a lovely analog sound redone from original masters.

just found another box - packed full of 45s.
Mostly 'older' stuff (Elton John - Pinball Wizard, etc) I have no idea when or where I got these ... makes me want to buy an old jukebox.

^ I have put a temporary moratorium on new purchases of records; it will be in effect until I have gone through all of my decommissioned records. Way too much stuff that I will have forgotten about. Keep finding all kinds of treasures in the basement apart from records: boxes of books, clothes, kitchen utensils, one half-dismantled R2R, an Ubuntu laptop (with a broken hinge, but otherwise good), folding chairs and such, and get this: an emergency generator !!! I thought I had two, but now I know it's three

my problem was that I often bought things at thrift stores and garage sales - often someone would say - just take the box .. $5 if I had something going on at the time I might just take it home and store it. I had quite a big basement in the last house and built a ton of storage .. i'm good at managing space ... and everything was packed away well ... But with the recent move I got to see things i'd completely forgotten about.. I found a bunch of Italian imports of Kansas, and other American releases - they have those flimsier glossy sleeves and the song titles are all in Italian .. I've opened just about every box now .. the books are home (I have about 100 boxes of those - I left the bulk of them in the old house) It's mostly just the vinyl that contain surprises - because I hadn't played it in years but i'd still pick up the odd thing here and there and pack it away

The house band is good, and all the different players that play there as part of the "house band". Of course seeing the Preservation Hall Jazz band is stellar, but they tour quite often and open for other bands too. Lots of fun, part of jazz/dixieland history

Good news, the sticker from the Renaissance LP came out easily. The one on Yessongs is not like that unfortunately. Do you know any good way to remove stickers or price tags without damaging the cover? |
