Ralonzo Posted December 7, 2022 Share Posted December 7, 2022 Thinking back to Focus, I lost focus that night but just remembered the notion to do a Holland set of the era. How long have drugs been legal there? Yes, that's the Radar Love band. They've been at it since 1961 and still going... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ironic though that you picked the "birthplace", since this summer I spent 4 days camped at ROMP in Owensboro, KY. (the back yard of Bill Monroe and the birthplace of bluegrass) Several of those days partying at the late night stage, standing about 15' in front of Rob Ickes and Trey Hensley. one entire stage is old time bluegrass. Del McCoury is often there. Steep Canyon Rangers, Blue Highway etc. I'll have to check out the KY fest. Hensley and Ickes did a benefit show in our town recently. They are amazing.

ExiledInIllinois Posted December 8, 2022 Share Posted December 8, 2022 Went to move the wife's car into garage, this was on the stick...A very underrated 10,000 Maniacs song: From '87, Michael Stipe on backing vocals. 35 years later the lyrics resonate even more... Even more profound considering the way things are going with people, power, natural resources, and the land... "A lie to say, "O my mountain has coal veins and beds to dig. 500 men with axes and they all dig for me." A lie to say, "O my river where many fish do swim, half of the catch is mine when you haul your nets in." Oh, no, never will he believe that his greed is a blinding ray. No devil or redeemer will cheat him. He'll take his gold to where he's lying cold. A lie to say, "O my mine gave a diamond as big as a fist." But with every gem in his pocket, the jewels he has missed. A lie to say, "O my garden is growing taller by the day." He only eats the best and tosses the rest away. Oh, no, never will he be believe that his greed is a blinding ray. No devil or redeemer can cheat him. He'll take his gold to where he's lying cold. Six deep in the grave. Something is out of reach Something he wanted Something is out of reach He's being taunted Something is out of reach That he can't bag or steal. Nor can he buy. His oldest pain and fear in life There'll not be time His oldest pain and fear in life There'll not be time Oh no, hey, hey A lie to say "O my forest has trees that block the sun and when I cut them down I don't answer to anyone." No, no, never will he believe that his greed is a blinding ray No devil or redeemer can cheat him. He'll take his gold where he's lying cold. La la la la la la La la la, la la la Oh, la la la, la la la la La la la la la la la Lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely man" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ralonzo Posted December 11, 2022 Share Posted December 11, 2022 In the 60's the Spiders kicked around Arizona, and then caught some big hits in the early 70's and then the band broke and the lead singer and producer caught some bigger hits in the later 70's, and then there was a resurgence in the 90's. But in the early 80's there was an artist making a statement. Though to be honestly, the commercial allusion of the release immediately preceding was... superior. IMO. Still, both albums lost to the march of time, and underrated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The sound engineers/producers for these guys are fantastic. Their take on Holy Wars by Megadeth, from the album some regard as the best metal album ever, is probably their pinnacle if you haven't gotten to that already.

Frickin brilliant live The most poignant point of Voivod is their sound was tremendously unique due to the atonal and discordant guitar style of Denis D'Amour, who sadly died of colon cancer in 2005, which should have been an end to the band as integral as he was to the sound. However, a concomitant Dan Mongrain of the band Martyr was able to learn much of the riffs and styles having been a fan, and filling in to complete Denis' uncompleted material the band returned more "true to form" than their output from their major label period: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Ferguson forever Posted December 11, 2022 Share Posted December 11, 2022 (edited) Audio equipment is a hobby of mine. This was another track recommended for testing speaker performance. The fact that my dad was a huge fan of Harry James (and the Bills!) and that I bought him this fantastic album (King James Version), recorded in an acoustically excellent chapel with a single state of the art mic direct to vinyl) many years ago as a present, compelled a listen and ultimately buying the unremastered CD from Amazon.

DrW Posted December 14, 2022 Share Posted December 14, 2022 (edited) William Drake had been a member of the Cardiacs, one of my favorite bands. This is a song of his solo career. It is amazing to watch how the mood goes from peaceful to chaos with the progress of the song. And here is William Drake on keyboards for the Cardiacs. This clip is from 1990, not 2015 as indicated on the video. If you have never heard of them, give it a try!

To this day, my trophy show was seeing Metallica play Kill 'Em All front to back in a local bar a week before it came out. They were the opening band and It was jaw dropping. Still love that album. I don't listen to much metal these days but every so often I have to scratch that itch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrW Posted December 16, 2022 Share Posted December 16, 2022 (edited) One of the best britpop bands of the 90' - Elastica. There is no weak spot on their 1995 eponymous first album. The second, "The Menace" (2000) did not live up to the high standard set by the first. Live, but no video - sorry! At that time, frontwoman Justine Frischmann had a relationship with Damon Albarn (Blur, Gorillaz). You can see him here having fun on the keyboards.

I probably went on a jag about this before but the two real principals on that album were vocalist David Wayne and bassist Kurt Vanderhoof. Wayne split/was sacked after the seminal "The Dark" album (or was it the live one), forming bands Reverend and Wayne, before dying from a car crash in 2005. Vanderhoof continued with Metal Church, finding his own version of Arnel Pineda or Ripper Owens but also took on a side-project in Presto Ballet, "playing in the style of American prog rock like Styx and Kansas." Speaking of dead singers, let's throw out another contemporary of theirs here, called Trouble. Migrating a somewhat different path from doom to stoned out psychedelic-metal (who covers the Monkees?), they intersect that metal space in the late 80's. With singer Eric Wagner passing last year, here's one for a couple of real belters, the aptly titled...
