The first album I ever owned, given to me by my brother, was "Journey to the Center of the Earth".
I could squeeze you until you popped like warm champagne, and you'd beg me to hurt you just a little bit more.

Buffista Music II: Wrath of Chaka Khan
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.

Bon bon, we're making fun of this guy who made this mess and this guy who made this mess.
But Jon is right. If I were doing something more artsy-but-not-fartsy, I might feel a bit less like the geeky guy in the corner. Jon manages to come off more like Brian Eno than an aspirant to the mantle of Gentle Giant; I should take a cue from his onstage demeanor.
Edit -- Jon, I first heard Journey To The Centre Of The Earth when my "cool" across-the-street neighbor played it for me at about age 11. I still recall being unable quite how to take it.

Much of the interview dealt with the claviola,
"Claviola" sounds like a word that Mr. Burns would use.

I won't even claim to be a music geek, but I knew who Jon and hayden were talking about. The amount of 70's stuff I know by osmosis (I heard most of it through the wall I shared with my bro, so it's really like osmosis) scares me.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
My ex was a huge Wakeman fan, starting from his days with the Strawbs. She had most of his solo albums. His solo stuff did nothing for me, but I was a Yes fan back in the day (I got better), and I still like the Strawbs.

The other downside to being a keyboardist is the high mortality rate.

I see you more as the Jeff Wayne type, hayden. Let's do a Buffy Rock Opera!

Could be worse. You could be a drummer.

I am so not worthy, but thanks.

So true.

Sure you are, avant garde guy.

He did that awful War of the Worlds thing, didn't he? God, I remember hearing that on the radio when I was a perpetually stoned senior in high school, while my buddies & I drove around laughing our asses off at it.

Blasphemy! some bits of WotW are ace - Phil Lynott as the mad preacher, the storming title track. Back me up, Hec. But I admit it's best when you're either 8 or very very stoned.
