The website advertises "Watch this amazing Neil Young footage before it gets taken down!"
Myself talking to myself trying to come up with reasons to not evict my son.

Fu Schnickens - True Fuschnick
Zapp and Roger - More Bounce to the Ounce
Experience Unlimited - Peace Gone Away
and a sad one to stop for the night...like NIN closing with Hurt on their current tour, instead of Down In It or Closer...leaving the crowd with a catharsis as they wander back to their cars and drive home.
Mother Love Bone - Man of Golden Words
Doodle, nice catch on Neil Young! (though the clips already gone). There used to be a neat little viddy of Neil going into a record store (in NYC?? in the 70's??) where he finds a vinyl bootleg of his concert and tried to take it without paying in a protest of the bootleg process...ended up calling the manager and working out a deal. I think the store continued to sell bootlegs until the 90s. I cant find the video though. heh.
..and Arassuil, shame on me. I only have the mp3 of BeaverBrown big hit! thanks. Now to find the LPs of the band.

Truth in advertising! I'm glad I watched it, already. I was, however, disappointed to discover that Richard Metzger is not the Richard Metzger, underground rock critic, legend, and associate of the Angry Samoans, but is, instead, some other Richard Metzger whom, I read, is a DJ on the Beeb.
Well, at least it isn't Tom Metzger.
And, finally, some good news, I am back in the zone and replaced my stolen iPod with a much cheaper generic MP3 player that is nowhere near as loud when plugged into my portable work radio, but my quality of work life has been improved immeasurably.
Zonino!
And since this will be the last post of the page, and I want to stick to the rules I set myself above, Monday Morning Jazz Brunch 24 hours early:
although the album I've been grooving to is a later covers collection, Dedications (although the track order is all messed up and they've got a slow-builder opening the record instead of the lively "Solar").
The fact that I didn't discover this until Friday evening (Austrlian time) doesn't diminish my appreciation.

Sounds like the story about when a book store called the cops on Stephen King. Apparently some creepy old dude was defacing books... turns out he was signing copies of his novels and then putting them back on the shelves, just to give customers an added bonus for going with hardbacks vs. kindle.

I've got 4 albums on heavy rotation which I dug out of the boxes in response to Paizo.com.
Graned, some of them are inspired by posts over a year old, but, hey, I work slow.
Bobby "Blue" Bland--Two Steps from the Blues
David Bowie--Aladdin Sane
Pt. 2
Gary Numan--The Pleasure Priciple
Arvo Part (with various Estonian punctuation marks that I can't be bothered with)--Fratres
Pfft.
I scoff at your umlauts and whatnot.
Pfft, I say, pfft.

A decade working in record stores sez: It's funny cuz it's true.
Can't help myself:
In my opinion, a very under-rated band, which should have been more popular.
If "On the Dark Side" hadn't been on the radio every five seconds, they might have been. And then, to add insult to injury, the Beaver Brown Band was used in the movie Eddie and the Cruisers as a stand-in for the Cruisers -- and that movie ran pretty-much continuously on HBO throughout the '80s, bombarding the viewer with that same song throughout. To this day, I get sick to my stomach whenever I hear it.

I especially like the last one: I've carried a pile of 12 records around the store. I am now leaving them all precariously balanced on top of the other records and leaving. Enjoy cleaning up after me.
Kerion. Everything I can find on Youtube.

Last night: listening to a static hum from the speakers, until I figured out that YouTube was auto-muting itself. Problem solved, on to Epic Rap Battles of History, Season 3 premiere: Hitler vs. Darth Vader III.

New track by Sigmund Blue, "Carbon Copy." Starts standard pop, gets goofy, then turns into classic (early 70s Gabriel Genesis Era) sounding Prog Rock from about 02:33 to about 05:30. Right on!

That was neato - the end section especially so. There's a band (other than Genesis) that the first bit really reminds me of and I cannot for the life of me think who it is. Aagh!
I've also very much enjoyed all Doodlebug's Marty Robbins tunes and Zapp and Roger, too.

Haven't yet done the latest Limey prog opus, but, in the meantime, here's more Chuck Berry:
No Particular Place to Go
Dear Dad (You can't see Chuck's face through most of this, I'd suggest looking at the go-go dancers instead)
Jaguar and Thunderbird
A Deuce [bubble bubble bubble]
And, for no particular reason, John Cale's cover of Memphis

R.I.P. Jan Kuehnemund. Saw Vixen opening for KISS way back in '90. I only knew this song. Takes me back to a fun (but very awkward) time.

In most (probably not all) record stores, Muddy Waters albums are filed under "W", but Howlin' Wolf albums are filed under "H". WTF?!? Turns out, that the latter originally traded under the nom de blues "The Howlin' Wolf" which makes all the difference.

Full Disclosure: 1/3 of Sigmund Blue is my "kid" brother, a musician/psychologist and former member of Somah. I hate to admit it, but he's a better songwriter than I am a game designer :(
BTW, in true ProgRock fashion, their new album, The Eight Deaths of Delphinium Gardener, is a concept album.

More Non-Jazz:
Apparently, Snooks Eaglin was a blind street performer who really wanted to start an R&B band, but when he ran into folklorist Harry Oster who was looking to make a finger-pickin' acoustic blues album, he knew better than to object. The resultant record New Orleans Street Singer is pretty bad ass:
Looking for a Woman
High Society
Mama, Don't Tear My Clothes
Sophisticated Blues
Rock Island Line

Very odd. Note to overseas listeners: The UEA is not a terrorist organisation.
And Meg Baird, just because a) it was there and b) it's lovely.

I've been rockin' to Tommy lately:
Awesome footage, but not enough "Eyesight", studio version here (as if you'd never heard it before).
...and of course Clapton's urban funk take on it from the film.
I know it's heresy, but I like the Tommy movie soundtrack better than the studio album.

After having this whole internet thingy for a couple of years, it finally occured to me that I could look up albums I had always heard of but never heard. And post them here, of course!

Hmm, well, it doesn't sound much like music made by an ex-bank robber and heroin addict (dead by 35), but I likes it. Wish I had some [bubble bubble bubble] though...
