  1. Woke up to the news. Could not believe it. Warnie certainly changed the game. Before he played, nobody wanted to bowl leg spin. In no time at all, suddenly all the young kids wanted to bowl leg spin. By far the best spin bowler we've seen. Great brain for the game. As Zepphead said, Marsh passed yesterday. Another great character, and someone else who changed the game. I'm too scared to wake up tomorrow morning!

  2. Well besides my beloved Styx (for which I am trying to sell a second row ticket, as posted elsewhere on here), I just got a ticket for Midnight Oil in NYC on 6/19. Final tour. Only ever saw them on the flatbed truck in NYC protesting the Exxon Valdez in 1990, but have been a fan since before then.

    Good one. The new songs are really good and will translate live really well.

    Big fan of the band, but haven't heard this. How is it?

     

    It's ok. Has a couple of really good tracks. After the Full Circle tour the band reconvened to record. They ended up recording 19 tracks, coming in at around 95 minutes. Seven of the tracks had the common indigenous/reconciliation etc theme so they took those out and released them as the EP I have listed here. The remaining twelve tracks appear on the newly released Resist album, which is really good. Personally, I would have loved it if they put the few tracks I really like on the EP on the album proper. This would have meant a longer running time (think Vapor Trails - my favourite Rush album - but I know you often quote that as being too long!)
