According to the BBC, prog stopped in 1977 when 'punk came out'. Therefore the third part of the programme which said it went up to 2007 was pretty redundant as there was no mention of IQ, Pallas, Porcupine Tree, Marillion et. al.

The second programme was a Timeshift which pretty much covered the same ground, with Charles Shaar Murray, John Peel etc., being disparaging about the entire genre.

[jag]

Led Zep 'The early years'.

[Deep Black]

According to the BBC, prog stopped in 1977 when 'punk came out'.
Became less popular / visible, yes sure. But never stopped.

Funnily enough I met a guy about 10 years back (now one of my best friends) who was really into Yes, Genesis, ELP etc.

When punk came out & he got married /family etc he thought it pretty much died out too. But I showed him :D

Now he's into loads of Prog again that started in the '80s, '90s & '00s

[charismatic megafauna]

Mostly the Blues, particularly the prewar (WWII) acoustic stuff and the late 40's thru mid 60's electric and acoustic Blues revival stuff. Son House anyone?

[RedKing]

:) Have you heard that Peter Gabriel has said a full reunion might be in the works again after all?

Yes, he's been saying he's 'not averse' to a reunion, but he's also been saying that for the last 5 years or so and always finds a reason not to. :(

[Chiaroscuro]

Yes, he's been saying he's 'not averse' to a reunion, but he's also been saying that for the last 5 years or so and always finds a reason not to. :(

Well Phil Collins would be enough of a reason for me, but they get on apparently.

[haddonsman]

Just finished peeing myself in front of a Jimmy Carr DVD.

And, as luck would have it, it featured the line...

"Creationists believe everything Genesis says is true, I don’t even think Phil Collins was a good drummer."

I don't know whether I love the guy as an outstanding showman (and his book was superb) or I want to punch his face for eternity. And then a little bit longer. Probably the former. Certainly the former if Derren's lawyers are reading this.

Anyoldhoo - right now, it's Hem, An Easy One. The greatest band you've never heard of. And if you have heard of them, don't go round telling people about them, don't go spoiling things...

Nothing particularly obscure for me. I'm not fanatical enough about music for that - pop culture provides me with more than enough quality stuff to suit my tastes.

Snow Patrol now, their latest album on continuous shuffle-play.

[jag]

Here's a thing.
Back in the old days my Band 'Hetero' played a gig in Drouthy Neebors as support to an up and coming band called (if I remember correctly) 'North Pole'. I was sharing a joint and talking to the guitarist who said they were changing their name soon to 'Snow Patrol'. Daft name thought I:o.
Anyway, we blew them of the small stage that night.

[Adamus]

Yeah their on-stage presence isn't particularly active or vibrant. Nor is their music, really. Which is probably why I like them. :)

According to Wikipedia they were first named 'Shrug' and then 'Polar Bear' before they became Snow Patrol. 'North Pole' is close enough to 'Polar Bear'. ;)

[jag]

I knew it was something like that!

Gonna download some Swervedriver.

New Springsteen album!!

(Sorry, Jag!)

[jag]

Heard a track on radio 2 the other day of his new album with the e-street band, 'tomorrow never knows'.....oh dear!
But rac, it's cool, I know you are a dude, and I respect you man but the boss is sounding a bit tired in a 'been here before without anything new to say and playing it safe with cliched lyrics and neat chords, my best days are behind me, i'm loaded, do i really need to do this anymore?' kinda way.
But!!!! 'Born to run' is in my top 5 fave tunes ever.
But!!! Then he went in did that insipid shite 'phil+elhpia'(pure cheese man).
So where does he sit in music hierarchy?
The man is a legend.
You know what i really like about him?
He doesn't give a shit.
He plays a Telecaster.

Discuss??

[RedKing]

On the Springsteen front, I think you can get a very good Greatest Hits package out of his stuff and I saw him a looooooong time ago and he delivered a very good set which lasted for HOURS.

Got some recent live stuff for rac, which sounded OK but I haven't bought one of his records since Tunnel Of Love (1987!) and don't turn the radio off if he comes on, if you know what I mean.

Possibly paint me non-committal...

Unfortunately after too many homebrews and a raging argument about the futility of buying the same albums in different formats (vinyl, tape, multiple cd releases and a dvd of The Who live at the isle of wight to blame) I am transfering my tape collection onto harddrive. Daft, bloodyminded and poor sound quality, yes, yes and yes!!! but take that faceless recording moguls and your cynical re-re-release of the same material + bonus tracks + new booklet.

Actuallly listening to Dead Kennedys Fresh Fruit For Rotting Vegetables transfer from 1987 cassette. I better remind myself to not win any more of these drunken debates.

Son House: The Complete Library of Congress Sessions 1941-1942

The Alan Lomax field recordings feature Son House at the top of his game, with string band and alone. Soon after disappeared for two decades until his rediscovery in 1964. Some of the best, not to mention influential, acoustic blues ever preserved.

If you already own the stuff on tape, why not just find a torrent site and download them?
You're entitled to the tracks in different formats (thank you British judiciary and the house of lords (seriously, how is it it's the unelected piers that are doing more to protect our rights than the elected politicians... oh yeah, party donations)) so you're not breaking the law, despite what the BPI would like you to think

I'm not sure what I think of The Killers' latest stuff. I've not heard the entire album yet, and I did like Human, but I really disliked Spaceman when I first heard it. It has grown on me a bit, but compared to some of their earlier stuff it's a bit, well, weak.

Frozen Shoulder does sound like the name of the band you joined when you left them though!

We had a good jam, just like old times:).

Watching Blur at Glasto....soso.

Good to hear, Jag!

Caught the end of the Blur set- I thought they were rather poor, and looked like they were just going through the motions.

What's happened to him?
Haven't seen anything of him here in a while...

[edash]

He's probably much too busy, what with him now being a self-employed web designer, book and music reviewer, playing in a band, etc. You can catch up with him over at his Velcro City Tourist Board (http://www.velcro-city.co.uk/) blog.

That is wrong on so many levels.....but very funny :D.

[Deep Black]

Decent song actually (well apart from the lyrics)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steel_Panther

[edash]

Come on, the lyrics are the best bit. I was listening to the album today in the car, not a good idea.

[Deep Black]

Well the lyrics are certainly the funniest bit, not sure that make them th best bit ;)
Are the lyrics on the rest of the album just as "good"?

[edash]

Some are better than others. Community Property is funny, it's on their MySpace page. Musically it can be fun spotting what songs they're ripping off.

[rac]

Yup- my jaw pretty much hit the floor first time I heard it!

[jag]

The new Spinal Tap??
They are taking the piss, right?

[Deep Black]

Yep ;)

[Conscious Bob]

Not just now but later tonight, THE BOSS, Hampden Park. Hoh yes.

Not just now but later tonight, THE BOSS, Hampden Park. Hoh yes.

Woo-hoo!

[Conscious Bob]

Yeah, superb. The stadium was jumping and no rain! (well, almost no rain).

[rac]

Cool- I was fearing for you guys when the weather took a horrible turn here mid-afternoon.
Glad it stayed dry for you.

[Champagne Socialist]

the free design, best of.
The wife just bought it, that's my only excuse.

[jag]

My mate was at the Boss gig, said he didn't play 'born in the usa'. And the Tshirts seemingly don't have the hampden gig on them!!:eek:.

[Champagne Socialist]

Mark Thomas tour will be in along the south coast after the Fringe. Looking forward to seeing that. Currently listening to My Life in serious organised crime again.

Jag, the Proms have a ukelele orchestra (http://www.royalalberthall.com/tickets/bbc-proms/prom45/default.aspx) this year, and their inviting the public to play (http://www.bbc.co.uk/pressoffice/pressreleases/stories/2009/06_june/10/ukulele.shtml). There's even instructions (http://www.bbc.co.uk/proms/2009/takepart/ukulele/) on what they'll be playing.

[rac]

My mate was at the Boss gig, said he didn't play 'born in the usa'. And the Tshirts seemingly don't have the hampden gig on them!!:eek:.

He hasn't done Born in the USA for quite a few years now, but he did play 30 other songs instead!
Bummer about the shirt though!

Listening to the new Kasabian- it's very... samey, isn't it? I don't mind them sounding like Kasabian, but sounding exactly like the last Kasabian album is a bit lazy...

[edash]

The Ukelele Orchestra of GB do a great rendition of The Good, The Bad and The Ugly (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V3gp7B8WC4Q)

Wow! I've checked out The UOoGB on youtube, strange and cool.

Bummer about the shirt though!

Yeah he never plays Born In The USA live, at least according to my pal who was with me at the gig. It was all the rock stuff, I like the quieter stuff too like Philadelphia, maybe it's a bit gay for the Boss. Then again Big Man Clarence was playing his sax wearing gold nail varnish!

'You gotta problem with dat?'

Gawn yersell Big Man!

Dog Days, Florence and The Machine, most enjoyable.

Just got back from seeing Steeleye Span live. They are still amazing-and have been recording for 40 years!
The audience was comprised of mostly people of a certain age-but the music still grand.
