I will never mock anyone's musical tastes, rock on whatever you like! I'm a fucking music sponge, my top artists are the Beatles, Pink Floyd, Johnny Cash, Beach Boys, the Cars, 10cc, XTC, ELO, Elton John, Old 97s, but appreciate everything from easy listening pop (Simon & Garfunkel, Carpenters, Singers Unlimited, Manhattan Transfer, ABBA) to disco (Bee Gees, Kc & Sunshine Band) to funk (Ohio Players, EWF, P/Funk, Gap Band) to Motown to art/punk/new wave (Laurie Anderson, Black Flag, Chrome, Joy Division, Nick Lowe, Joe Jackson, Brian Eno, Robert Fripp) to prog (Genesis, Yes, King Crimson) to classical (all the stuff I played in high school, Drovak, Beethoven, Wagner, Holst, to wind composers like W. Francis McBeth, Granger, Claude T. Smith, the Eastman Wind Ensemble) to Maynard Ferguson to classic country (pretty much everything up to 1990 or so, and then new traditionalists like Dale Watson) to polka (I play in a Czech polka band and also host an internet polka show, so I have around 7000 polkas and waltzes in my library) to album rock, heavy metal, hair bands. I love it all, just depends on what mood I am in. I have more music than I could ever listen to, I'll be 56 in a couple of weeks and am trying to listen to at least one album a day, just to go through it all at least one more time (hopefully not, but hey, who knows...). So whatever you like, enjoy it, anybody who doesn't like it can fuck right off.

I’m a pop music super nerd, so of course my first thought is trying to hear how the ELO/Olivia Newton-John song sounds like Close Encounters..

True, and I never knew Kurt Russell was such a good ball player growing up.

There is NOTHING in Rice's Crossing anymore, save a few grain silos. It would have been fine, both the Taylor and Elgin tornadoes were nowhere near there.

This is due northeast about 3/4 mile from the last pictures, intersection of CR 346 and 347

Some pics from the Taylor Press, this is about a quarter mile north of the intersection of Hwy 95 and Hwy 29 that goes west to Georgetown, just north of Circleville. The last picture is the house that they were showing on KXAN where the storm spotters stopped at, it is right across the street from the storage place.

“I can make a booger talk!” and “Wrote a song about it. Wanna hear it? Here it goes!” I still quote.

Just the best people - the best!

fyi

Depending on the ratio of males to females, the women in the bar may kick the person's ass who is trying to kick your ass for playing this, goddam did the ladies like this song..

Looks like this year, they are doing Monday-30's (and a few late 20's), Tuesday-40's, etc up through Friday-70's, then the weekends are a mish-mash of all years up into the mid 2000's...

Marty Stuart too

Early Travis Tritt is some good beer-drinkin' music.

Giving the new Tears for Fears album a spin on Spotify right now, sounds fucking great! Just like to stepping back to 1989 or so, but in a good way. Nothing earth-shattering, but just really good pop music.

Don't have to be a Christian to appreciate this one

Charlie Wade was a motherfucker, and Kris made him almost likeable

Czech.

Roger's official youtube channel just dropped some recordings from a 1987 KAOS show (Quebec, widely bootlegged). Not sure why, supposed to be up on Spotify as well but I can't find them...

Fellow olds here, this is the first thing that came to mind for me...

So our band held another practice session a few weeks ago. Getting ready to record a new CD in April (fingers crossed) so working on arrangements, here's 20 minutes or so as we wrapped up our practice. We were stuck in a tiny room at Space so I couldn't fit everyone in the video (need to buy an iPhone tripod and set it in the corner next time...). Yes, I know the video is flipped. Amazing how much that freaks old geezer out....

1) Fuck Trump. 2) Any time to bring up the lovely Teresa Ganzel is a good time.

I don't know if anyone else follows this channel, but this guy is a composer and does a ton of prog listen/reactions, usually breaking down the songs, talking about chord structures etc. He also does a lot of metal as well. The only downside (to me anyway) is that he is not real knowledgeable about back catalogs and such, so sometimes you probably know more about a song than he does. He's a good guy, I enjoy his videos:
