So I usually play one or two albums a night. Oh, okay. Excluding the times I play music on the stereo in the basement, on my CD player, or in the car... otherwise, they've been played on my last.fm.

You also have more than me and Soft Machine is definitely in my top favorite bands.

One being samples from our first major gig. The other being a sort of jazz / rock song but not really jazz but thats only way I can describe it. I'll check it out. Don't worry about genre classifications. Our songs are all so different. Some are punk rock, some are jazz-rock, some are psyche, some are almost metallish, some are avant-garde, some are accoustic folk... We don't really care. We just like to jam.

Same really, except we've actually come out with some good rock songs. This saturday we're gonna record a demo its going to be awesome.

And to add an ironic twist, my brother is in the band (he hates prog). The other guitarist and drummer love prog metal tho. Specifically Dream Theater and Vanden Plas.  Ah I love the irony in that.

Listen to Henry Cow instead.

Bern's and James' references make me want to listen to some Rage Against the Machine now.

It's insane that I have more Soft Machine plays on last.fm than you do, James. I just realized that now.

I would have never thought that.

I think it's their worst.

I'm getting used to the album though. It might get better someday.

I'm a bass player in a band that seems to be going well, I'm on a gap year where I'm actually not doing anything because I can't find a job and thus no new prog. My friends got me into all kinds of music. And I'm not posting 60 times a day anymore. How things going for you? Lots of things too. I'm a sax/flute player and singer in a band. I don't listen to that much prog anymore and I don't post that much anymore either. Life's good. It's a rare sight to see someone with Wu Tang as his top artist on PA. Ah cool, do you have any of your music on the internet? It would be cool to hear. Ya about the Wu Tang stuff you can blame my guitarist. We may play rock but thats not all we listen to. He's given me so much rap and electronic music. Good stuff. Yeah, we do have a myspace : www.myspace.com/asemantiquepogostick It's mostly just recorded jams with awful recording gear but there are some good parts. "La Nostalgie", "Les Irréductibles", "Panthère Saxy" and "Je suis le sosie de Damo Suzuki" are all not bad or even good. I don't know which songs are up on myspace right now cause my guitarist changes 'em daily. The Damo Suzuki one is a tribute to Can if you're interested. I don't anyone about Wu Tang. Hehe. They're probably my favorite rap group ever. I used to listen to them a lot and still do sometimes.

Ah cool.

Here's my band's myspace

The presence of Bedlam on your sig makes me happy, Bern.

And no, June, Animal Collective are not catchy.  They're annoying. You may find them annoying (that's your fault, not theirs, but whatever), but they're still catchy. I generally don't like catchy... it depends though if the catchiness is annoying or not. Ah, then you're excused. It's just Bern and Ben that I have to aggrieved at then. And I have yet to hear any rap I enjoy even though I always sing along to RatM at the metal club I go too. Oh wait, RatM and Beastie Boys are tolerable.

I despise RatM and Beastie Boys.
