The other downside to being a keyboardist is the high mortality rate.
Could be worse. You could be a drummer.
Jon manages to come off more like Brian Eno than an aspirant to the mantle of Gentle Giant
I am so not worthy, but thanks.
Like any of that's enough to fight the Dark Master. Bator.

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.

So true.

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

Incidenjtally, discussion of the new Fiery Furnaces has inspired me to dig out Gallowsbird's Bark. If it really is such a leap forward, I'm officially very excited. Not out here until September, alas.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Hey! I'm listening to WotW right now AIFG!

WotWs was another one I got when I was very young.
Ulla! Ulla! Ulla!

I'm listening to the Horsell Common bit right now. The soft guitars at the start are still way creepy.
ETA: Oh! And Canberra gets a shout-out in the Epilogue! (Literally!)

You want a copy of the promo?

I wish I could say that all of you are nuts, but I haven't heard it since I was a stoned (very, very) teenager, so maybe it's me. But I doubt it.

I wanna say something, but I just can't get past that whole "A stoned teenager? Mocking something? Has the world gone mad??!?" reaction.
David Essex trying to emote is pretty cringeworthy, but the parson is very cool. And, hey, Richard Burton.

I know! That's what gives me pause. Because usually my targets were just that accurate that all these years later, I can say, "My name is Hayden C, and I endorse my stoned teenage ramblings."
