Susan,

 

The lead for Porcupine Tree, Steven Wilson has a few solo albums out and if you like P.T., you'll love Steve's solo stuff.  Check out "To the Bone" and "The Raven Refused to Sing."  He also has a new album slated for release next year.

Thank you, Sally. I’ll be listening to some of his stuff tomorrow. I haven’t heard anything by PT I haven’t liked so I’m sure it’ll be right up my ally.

Didn’t disappoint...absolutely love it! Watched the video. Thanks Sally!?

Susan, Glad you liked it.  I'm a big progressive rock fan and I love Porcupine Tree, kind of saddened when they broke up.  But then Steven Wilson started doing solo projects which got me all fired up again.  He really is talented.  Can't wait for his next release.

The Alan Parsons Symphonic Project "Sirius" - "Eye In The Sky" (Live in Colombia)

Patti, I love Alan Parsons!  I Robot album is my fav.  Did you know that he engineered Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon album?  I just learned that a few years ago.

Prog Rock is probably my favorite genre.  I grew up on Pink Floyd, Yes, and early Genesis (before they got "pop-py).  PT is new to me.  I watched the Steven Wilson video you posted; that's good stuff!!  Will have to check out PT.  Thanks for sharing that.

 

I've gotten heavily into World Music in the past few years thanks to an Azam Ali/Niyez concert I attended.  I guess it's classed as electronica but the effect is similar to Prog for me.

A series called North Wood Law while I sculpt a chocobo commission.

I watched that show for several years.  Those are pretty good guys up there.  Alaska State Troopers used to be fun, too.  I enjoy the insight into the culture of those remote places.

I’ve been listening to his new stuff nonstop since you mentioned his solo stuff @Sally Stone. Some of it is perfect for exercising and going on my long walks. My newest personal favorite is now...Personal Shopper.

 

Like the beat but the lyrics are very timely and sort of funny. Take a look...

 

PERSONAL SHOPPER (lyrics)

Have now, have now, pay in another life
Kickstart the future, accept this loan
Fill in the form, you're pre-qualified
You're now the sum of what you own
Buy now, buy now, have a better life
Close out transactions without remorse
Apply for credit, it's your given right
Buy it all then buy some more
Buy for comfort, buy for kicks
Buy and buy until it makes you sick
Buy for England, buy it all
Buy online and in the shopping mall
Sell it on then buy it back
Buy the -crap- you never knew you lacked
Buy the update to compete
Buy the things that make your life complete
Consumer of life, hold my hand, extend your rights
It's the power to purchase to excess
That sets you apart and can give you the ultimate high
Abuser of our time, if there's something that you want
You

A little doom goth before bedtime. Sins of thy Beloved only put out two full length CD’s but probably the best of the lot.

I had no idea Tori. I'm not really surprised though. As an aside, I wonder how many pounds of weed were smoked in 1978 while listening to that LP? 

 

I think that when it's all said and done, Dark Side is probably the best, most innovative album ever. I wonder how long before Dark Side was recorded did Syd Barrett leave the band?

5 years.  From Wikipedia:

Barrett was musically active for less than ten years. With Pink Floyd, he recorded four singles, their debut album The Piper at the Gates of Dawn (1967), portions of their second album A Saucerful of Secrets (1968), and several unreleased songs. In April 1968, Barrett was ousted from the band amid speculation of mental illness and his excessive use of psychedelic drugs.

 

Those earliest compositions with Syd were very weird.  I've listened to them but only a few times. For 1973, Dark Side was way ahead of its time.  It was actually a couple/few years before it achieved mass appeal.  I discovered it in '77-'78 and probably contributed a couple of pounds to that weed consumption total, lol.  I only learned of the Parson's link in a documentary about 5 years ago.  I checked my EU quadraphonic vinyl disk and, sure enough, there was Alan's name.  Those people were, in my book (because it is debatable), the creators of Prog.

 

In the end, though, my most favorite Pink Floyd songs/albums became Echoes, from the Meddle album, the entire Animals album (loved the Animal Farm and anti-establishment allusions) and Momentary Lapse of Reason.  There are 3 PF songs that I think are just pure fun:  Grantchester Meadows (the irony at the end cracks me up!), Careful with that Ax Eugene, and Several Species of Small Furry Animals Gathered Together in a Cave and Grooving with a Pict (possibly the longest song title in history, haha).  I guess most people know that Wish You were Here and The Wall were heartfelt tributes to Syd.

Yes early Floyd tunes penned by Barrett were over the top. That being said I have always enjoyed “See Emily Play”. 
On a side note, in 2013 I had a mental collapse and had to take a break from my band for several years. To their credit they didn’t replace me they just switched instruments to fill the hole. When I was well enough to continue I called my song writing partner in the band at his office to tell him I was ready to come back. His secretary asked who I was....”Just tell him Syd Barrett”. It became a standing joke. But now that I have crossed over he suggested I should introduce myself as Patti Smith.

Back in the 80’s I loved this one specific progressive instrumental song that I had recorded off the radio (anyone remember those days?). Back then, I accumulated a large music collection by recording full albums when my station would play an entire album uninterrupted on a particular evening. The collection is still on (84) two-hour cassettes so I haven’t listened to them in several years. I’ve managed to find digital copies of some of my favorites from the collection over the years with the exception of this one progressive instrumental that I really miss. I used to play this song over and over never remembering the name of the artist or song and only having the one version of it somewhere on these cassettes.  About 4-5 years ago, I spent an entire day trying to locate this song on my cassette library to no avail.

 

Tonight when looking for details for another post here, I found the movie trailer I was looking for to be used in the post. The trailer is for documentary Trans and when I replayed the trailer I noticed the intro music was part of this song I so loved way back in the 80’s. I used Shazam to locate the song title “Light Is Body by Motoko“ from the snippet used in that music intro. I found the full video on youtube but it turns out to be a later partial version of the song. It’s definitely about half of the original 9 minute original recorded back in circa 1982. There’s a lot of parts missing but maybe some of you music buffs have heard and remember the name of the full original version. I actually never thought I’d hear the song again so I’ll take what I can get.

 

Susan R?

I don't know the song but I LIKE it!  I can see why you played it over and over, @Susan R.  I just now tried searching the Amazon music library and Wikipedia with that title hoping to find a link back to the original but no luck.  There's quite a few Motoko songs available.  If you ever find it, I'd like a link.  I hear a lot of similar music in the "Chill" genre of the streaming channel I play much of the time.

 

How many people remember the King Biscuit Flower Hour?  I recorded dozens of cassette tapes of that and some other late night shows I've forgotten the names of.  I especially loved when they would play an unpublished concert.  All of those tapes were eventually eaten by various car stereos or played until they just wouldn't play any more over the years.  I even learned to splice them back together when they broke.  I wish I had them now.

Puff the Magic Dragon.  Wouldn't it have been great if instead of spending childhood as an unwanted, confused, sad outcast to have had a beautiful, powerful dragon to ride and fly and do spectacular things?  {daydreaming now}

Mott The Hoople's "Thunderbuck Ram" an under appreciated early career gem. www.youtube.com/watch?v=ccLWhIbVJsw

This is Mott The Hoople pre glam. A dark piece. One wonders what direction MTH would have gone. Mick Ralphs penned the tune and did the lead vocals on this one even though Ian Hunter had joined the band as lead vocalist. This and "I Wish I Was Your Mother", penned by Ian Hunter who was lead vocalist on the recording

      The experience was the same for me @April Marie. I slept much deeper and I woke up each morning feeling so much more restful sleeping with forms solidly in place. For me, wearing breast forms at night started when before I was a teenager. I had no access up to modern breast forms and certainly no way to buy mastectomy bras back then. I wore a basic bra my mom had put in a donation box and two pairs of soft cotton socks. I have some crazy memories of things I did in my youth to combat my GD but regardless, these makeshift concoctions helped me work through it all.   All My Best, Susan R🌷

      Colorado isn't exactly a Republican place, and won't become one anytime soon.  I think those folks might be better off not spending their time playing Don Quixote.    We certainly have our share of California "refugees" moving into where I live, so I wouldn't be surprised to start seeing Coloradans too.  I suspect the trend over the next few years will see the blue areas getting more blue and the red areas getting more red as anybody who can relocate tries to find a place where they fit better.

      Well, at least it'll be a place some folks could choose.  Options are a good thing.

      My family would have gobbled that jar up in a minute or two.  When we do have pickled herring, its usually for Christmas.  I didn't grow up with that particular dish, but I grew up in a Greek family so I like just about any kind of fish if I can get it.  However, ocean fish and freshwater fish taste so different.  We usually have more catfish and tilapia to eat than anything else.    What I can't quite get used to is the tons of cabbage my GF insists on eating.  When you live with a Russian, there is always cabbage soup.  Always.  When I first moved in with her, breakfast was "shchi" for soup and either bread or "kasha" which is a bowl of boiled buckwheat with butter and salt.  Those dishes can be made in any number of ways, some are better than others.  In the winter, it can even be salty and sour like kraut.  Not exactly sauerkraut, but packed in tubs with vinegar and salt so it keeps partially for the winter.  But I drew the line when the cabbage soup included pieces of fried snake one day.  😆

      Good evening to you as well @Mmindy   That is awesome that you have support from her side. My dad has communicated with me once and that was because he was forced to. His new wife wanted to spend time with my kids. He hated me so much he was in the process of taking my rights away as a parent to my two boys. He was talking to a lawyer and I called him out on it. I don't love him at all. I'll respect him because I wouldn't be here without him but I wished I had another father. My uncles don't talk to me and unfriended me on Facebook. Almost all cousins except for two are still Facebook friends but they don't give me any support. My mom said she won't support me with that but she has said that she loves me. I have nieces and nephews that are still Facebook friends but they have yet to talk to me. I have one sister that supports me out of three. The other's disrespect me by deadnaming me. They have never called me their sister. I think for them they think it's still a phase. They don't ask questions about me being trans. I have to bring it up and on the look of their faces they don't look comfortable about it.

      Good evening @Ashley0616,   I just got offline with HP tech support trying to get my printer tool box icon locked to my tool bar. This is one of the most important features of my printer that I like because it keeps track of ink, paper, and scanned documents. I'm diffidently not a computer geek.   I'll catch up with the other bookmarks next week. We leave to go home for the Easter Holiday with our families. Saturday with her side, and Sunday with my side. What's odd about that is I'm out to more of her side and they're reluctantly supportive. My side on the other hand are less supportive, and my sister just under me in age will not acknowledge my being there. She will be constantly moving to keep from dealing with me. I'm dead to her.   Hugs,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      I used to follow baseball and the team I would cheer for is Boston Red Sox. My favorite player was Papi. He was an awesome guy and even held a child during the National Anthem. I haven't watched baseball for a long time. It just died off to me. 
    • Ashley0616
      That stinks that nothing transferred, and no bookmarks were saved!

      I'm doing patches for now but I think soon I'll go to shots because it's hard to alternate when you are doing two xx patches at once. Unless she gives me Estradiol and progesterone

      My view is we are "dependent" on government, because as a society, we are too lazy to stay actively involved. So, we let politicians do our bidding for us.  I think we'd be in a better place government wise if we policed the actions of our politicians.  We elected them; they work for us.  Sadly, we are allowing them to run amok.  We are where we are because we have chosen to let politicians make all decisions without us.  Remember "by the people, for the people?" That was the intent of our democracy.  Today, however, it is "by the politicians, for the politicians," the people be damned.

      "Play Ball! Batter Up!" is the closing line of the National Anthem as far as I'm concerned. It's the call of the Home Plate Umpire and signals the start of the game. I grew up in the TV and Radio broadcast of the St. Louis Cardinals. Harry Caray, Jack Buck, Tim McCarver, and Mike Shannon, were the voices on my transistor radio. KMOX 1120 AM pushing 50,000 watts of Class A clear-channel non-directional signal. It could be picked up all across MO, IL, IN to the East. KS, OK, CO to the West. IA, MN to the North, and KY, TN, AR to the South. There has always been a rivalry against the Chicago Cubs, in the National League. As for the American League, I have to pull for the Kansas City Royals. I've also been a Little League Umpire, and fan of everything the Little League stands for. Going to Williamsport, PA and seeing the Little League World Series is in my top 10 things to do on my bucket list.   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      Good evening everyone,   I don't think my mother ever cooked a meal that I didn't like. We also had a kitchen where mom fixed the food, dad filled your plate, and you eat it. It wasn't until our baby brother was born that we could have Pop-Tarts for snacks. Before that all snacks had to meet mom's approval, and in her opinion wouldn't prevent you from eating supper.   Well my day started off on a good note, but has become frustrating because my IT person didn't transfer my saved videos I use for teaching. Then I found out that they didn't save any of my book marks for websites I use frequently.   Best wishes, stay motivated,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      The number is relative to method of deliver, the time of the dose, and when the blood is drawn. However, I do want to keep away from DVT and other potential issues. I assume I may be getting backed down from my current dose, but my doc told me to stick with the higher dose, so? I also wonder if this has anything to do the my breast growth and mental changes that have been happening over the past few years, like I have some estrogen sensitivity so a little goes a long way or something? I don't have enough data to postulate, but who knows!   With weekly, subcutaneous, shots you expect to see big swings of serum level estradiol from shot to peak to trough. My doctor is interested in mid-week testing (for E and T levels only), which would be post-peak blood serum levels but they will be higher than trough. Most, if not all, resources I've seen online is to measure at trough (which I might do just to do it next time) along with a SHBG, LH, and other metrics.   This is from transfemscience.org for Estradiol valerate in oil, which is very spiky compared to some other estradiol combinations. It's also for intramuscular, which will have a slower uptake and is usually dosed in higher volume due to the slower absorption rate from muscles. They don't have subcutaneous numbers, which I would expect to see similar spikes but higher levels at similar doses due to the relatively higher absorption rate direct from fat.   Are you doing pills, shots, or patches? And when you do get your levels checked are you getting that done when your levels are lowest or some other time?
