Buffista Music 4: Needs More Cowbell!
There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

Speaking of Serge G, I saw the other day that someone has remastered and rereleased Histoire de Melody Nelson.

Lurching from one disaster to the next.
I regularly check Phil Freeman's blog: [link]
Bought the new Lamb of God a couple of weeks ago cos I read about it on there. I usually find Phil's opinion on Metal is favourable to my personality. Whatever that means.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
It's not a music blog per se, but its delightful (and I think Lyn-Z must be on pelvic rest)

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!
New Decemberists is out today.
In which they fully embrace their prog-rock bombastic tendencies with a full-on rock opera.
I can't decide yet whether I like it, but I give 'em credit for trying.

So the prog stuff on Crane Wife is not just a one-off? That's the only other disc of theirs I have (though I hope to rectify that soon).
I can't decide yet whether I like it
I bet I will, since prog-rock was the music I was really into when I first got into music on my own (as opposed to hearing it from family or friends).

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I haven't really been able to fully embrace my prog-rock bombastic tendencies since high school. At the most, I shake hands with them.
I bet I will, since prog-rock was the music I was really into when I first got into music on my own (as opposed to hearing it from family or friends).
My older brother was into Pink Floyd, so The Wall was my fave album when I was in high school. The first music I got into on my own was The Velvet Underground, when I was a sophomore in college.
eta: Oh yeah, and David Bowie, when I was a freshman.

Jethro Tull was the first band I was really into (so that mulit-part epic on Crane Wife really struck a note with me), but I dived head-long into the art rock abyss - Yes, ELP, King Crimson, Floyd. I branched of into space-rock.
There still bits of all of them I love, but the only one I could say I'm still really a fan of is Crimson. They were definitely a different breed of prog, even in their early days, though.
This all led to stuff like Roxy Music, Eno, Talking Heads, and onward. Then my older brother lent me a couple of Clash albums which really expanded things.
We will not speak of the fusion phase I went through, however. Oh, wait...

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil
My 15-year-old niece's favorite band is Pink Floyd. And, for her birthday, she asked my brother for a turntable and some real-life LP records! He got her one of those portable ones so she could take it over to her friends' houses.
