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.

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

      I grew up with it, my mother's side were Germans.  I still like cabbage.  I make a sweet/sour dish with vinegar and brown sugar, add some bacon if you have it.  And in warmer weather, slaw.  I like that better if it's a few days old, and has worked off a little.

      Good Friday Morning    I will be spending a good portion of my day at church today.  I don’t know how any of my family would have been with me.  They all passed before I figured myself out.  I often think my mother and sister may have figured it out before I did but maybe it was just my depression that they saw.  I don’t know and never will.  My grandfather Young unconditionally loved me but he passed when I was 9.   Same with my wife’s parents, both gone before.  We’ve never had the greatest relationship with my wife’s brother but we do see them occasionally.  They words and actions aren’t always in sink when it comes to me.   Sour kraut or boil cabbage were never big even with my parents so that was something we were never expected to eat.  Nor was anything with mustard.  My mother hated mustard and it turns my stomach. My wife tried to sneak it into things early in our marriage but I could always tell.  She stopped after a while.   well I wave to go get ready to go to church.  I have a committee meeting at 10 and then we have a Good Friday Service at noon.   Willow

      Good morning everyone,   @KymmieLI hope you're misreading your bosses communications. As you say keep plugging a long. Don't give them signs that you're slow quitting, just to collect unemployment.   I have a few things to do business wise, and will be driving to the St. Louis, MO area for two family gatherings.   Have a great day,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      Good morning everyone, TGIFF   It seems like I am the one keeping or shop from being the best. According to the boss. I don't know if my days are numbered or not. But anymore I am waiting for the axe to fall. Time will tell.   I keep plugging a long.   Kymmie

      Having just a normal emotional day.

      AMUSEMENT The feeling when you encounter something silly, ironic, witty, or absurd, which makes you laugh. You have the urge to be playful and share the joke with others. Similar words: Mirth Amusement is the emotional reaction to humor. This can be something that is intended to be humorous, like when someone tells a good joke or when a friend dresses up in a ridiculous costume. But it can also be something that you find funny that was not intended to be humorous, like when you read a sign with a spelling error that turns it into an ironic pun. For millennia, philosophers and scholars have been attempting to explain what exactly it is that makes something funny. This has led to several different theories. Nowadays, the most widely accepted one is the Incongruity Theory, which states that something is amusing if it violates our standards of how things are supposed to be. For example, Charlie Chaplin-style slapstick is funny because it violates our norms of competence and proper conduct, while Monty Python-style absurdity is funny because it violates reason and logic. However, not every standard or norm violation is necessarily funny. Violations can also evoke confusion, indignation, or shock. An important condition for amusement is that there is a certain psychological distance to the violation. One of the ways to achieve this is captured by the statement ‘comedy is tragedy plus time’. A dreadful mistake today may become a funny story a year from now. But it can also be distant in other ways, for instance, because it happened to someone you do not know, or because it happens in fiction instead of in real life. Amusement also needs a safe and relaxed environment: people who are relaxed and among friends are much more likely to feel amused by something. A violation and sufficient psychological distance are the basic ingredients for amusement, but what any one person find funny will depend on their taste and sense of humor. There are dozens of ‘humor genres’, such as observational comedy, deadpan, toilet humor, and black comedy. Amusement is contagious: in groups, people are more prone to be amused and express their amusement more overtly. People are more likely to share amusement when they are with friends or like-minded people. For these reasons, amusement is often considered a social emotion. It encourages people to engage in social interactions and it promotes social bonding. Many people consider amusement to be good for the body and the soul. By the end of the 20th century, humor and laughter were considered important for mental and physical health, even by psychoneuroimmunology researchers who suggested that emotions influenced immunity. This precipitated the ‘humor and health movement’ among health care providers who believed that humor and laughter help speed recovery, including in patients suffering from cancer1). However, the evidence for health benefits of humor and laughter is less conclusive than commonly believed2. Amusement is a frequent target of regulation: we down-regulate it by shifting our attention to avoid inappropriate laughter, or up-regulate it by focusing on a humorous aspect of a negative situation. Interestingly, amusement that is purposefully up-regulated has been found to have the same beneficial physical and psychological effects as the naturally experienced emotion. Amusement has a few clear expressions that emerge depending on the intensity of the emotion. When people are mildly amused, they tend to smile or chuckle. When amusement intensifies, people laugh out loud and tilt or bob their head. The most extreme bouts of amusement may be accompanied by uncontrollable laughter, tears, and rolling on the floor. Most cultures welcome and endorse amusement. Many people even consider a ‘good sense of humor’ as one of the most desirable characteristics in a partner. At the same time, most cultures have (implicit) rules about what is the right time and place for amusement. For example, displays of amusement may be deemed inappropriate in situations that demand seriousness or solemness, such as at work or during religious rituals.
