Take care Chronos! Hope to see you back soon. Also wondering if anyone noticed Lorraine's posting in the Good Night thread from a couple of nights ago. The last thing was "goodbye TRF" which is somewhat concerning. I hope she's okay. That, or maybe Justin Hayward took her away to some tapestry-laden castle.

afterglow

so I had something to say about "Lodger" by David Bowie, and how it's not well-liked and not cutting-edge etc, even though it still has all the major Bowie hallmarks: experimentation, left-of-center lyrical concerns, killer band, interesting chord structures, melodies etc - everything that people say is great about Bowie is on evidence on this record (er, cd. um, recording?) but yet it seems to be held in fairly low esteem by Bowie fans. So I was going to say all this, and what a great record I think it is, and that, in a way, it's a perfect microcosm of whatever David Bowie is/was/etc, And then I got distracted by Treeduck's post, which also has given me lots to ponder. I like this TRF.

Just call them "quail" or "squab" and they instantly become delicious, apparently.

any musician/writer etc worth their salt should always be trying to do something new, as opposed to meaningless repetition. Lucas, I don't know how you feel about jazz, but Miles Davis has done some amazing, less-than-amazing, and quite lame stuff that be of interest. (Bitches Brew and Live Evil are pretty good places to start as they sound the most 'rockish'). Sly Stone is another one that seems to fit this bill. Syd Barrett's solo albums are totally revealing, but also very depressing for what they reveal. oh yeah: cough - Vapor Trails - cough :) An interesting question which I don't think I've answered. Will have to give it some more thought!

good bye? maybe the Moody Blues forum is really rocking these days. come back soon Lorraine!

Tim Horton's coffee tastes like someone ran a bunch of coffee thru a mackerel and then set the whole mess on fire. :finbar:

stupid hockey game on tv. i don't really want to, but as a Canadian i have to.

What?!? You gotta listen to this gem Well, I do love watching Neil play, anytime (and I salivate over his drum kit)...so thanks! It isn't enough to make me want to get Test For Echo again, though. Have you seen his drum video for T4E? Didn't like the tunes so much, but cool to see him play thru his drum parts. A little...pedantic in spots. Neil, don't be such an old pedant! (sounds dirtier than it is) "A Work In Progress". Great video! BTW, did you know that 2016 has been deemed the Year of the Pedant here at TRF? Only a couple of months left! :dweez: Of course I knew that. I subscribe to "Modern Pedant" (Neil's in their Hall of Fame). ;) What's 2017 going to be? Year of the Mutant? (I also subscribe to "Modern Mutant". I try to keep up on things.)

oh-oh, am I late or am I early? gotta figure this out...

because my Mac's being a jerk about posting pics: Pee-Wee Herman Ricky (Trailer Park Boys) Quint (Jaws) yeah, that about sums it up.

"to sail, to sail on waste" signed; 2-Packets Dwayne

Ceiling Unlimited Secret Touch Earthshines How It Is Vapor Trail One Little Victory Freeze Peaceable Kindom Stars Look Down Nocturne/Out of the Cradle Snakes are Arrows was okay. I should listen to it again. I found it rather mid-tempo, and not terribly exciting. CA has not grabbed me at all. Weird, noisy production (again) but this time melody seems to take a backseat. Don't worry CA lovers, I'll give it another try.

I don't know about the Heritage award, but Arcade Fire have won the Polaris in the past. Maybe a Legacy award winner would have been Leonard Cohen?

maybe this is a jawkier jaw:

um, first time jawker... hope this fits the bill. so many layers (and i ain't talkin' chickens). http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J1c2KzJbcGA

Vendredi

Yeah, probably should've been other than Geddy. I wish I could play like any of these guys. So musical and fluid. And I like Holgar for playing bass wearing gardening gloves. Paul McCartney John Entwistle Chris Squire Ray Shulman Holgar Czukay/Paul Gardiner

isn't there some Jaw someone should be Jawking? ;)

wow, no love for "Need Some Love"? "This feeling I just can't ride the bus" Yeah, I know he doesn't say that, but it sounds like it! :)

Remain in Light...live: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0wp2qhoop9U Well, okay. maybe not all of RiL, but lots of great stuff on here, and the energy is through the roof. What a fun concert to have been at! Tina Weymouth!

Some of their material is pretty dark (Carry Me Away), and heavy (The Sky is a Poisonous Garden) and mostly always interesting. And she's a good lyricist, which helps! Why wasn't Happy Birthday a hit? They even made a pop video! Maybe the lyrics were too unhappy? taking out the 's' and crossing my fingers...first video post. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f5dzbyhWm7A Yeah, her lyrics are great. This is probably my favorite song by them: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4DGjseZLkTs here's a good one from Group Therapy. killer lyrics. killer. ("we felt nothing much at all, but it felt great")

wow, lots of Devo fans here! this whole Rush forum rocks because of its diversity. Top 10 Old-School Devo: Mongoloid - love the bass and Eno's claustrophobic production. the drums rock too! Come Back Jonee - the rhythm guitar cracks me up Sloppy - just plain weird, but tuneful Strange Pursuit - there must be a metal version of this song Blockhead - the verses are in 11/8 if memory serves me correctly. prog! Red Eye - something about the sound of this one that I enjoy. weirdly reminds me of Eagles of Death Metal "I'm Your Torpedo" It's Not Right - love the Deva cover version! Gates of Steel - awesome and oddly depressing Penetration in the Centerfold - ridiculous, but fun. holy syncopation! Soo Bawls - I'm a sucker for a song that starts with "Pretty Mongo..." honourable mention: Devo Corporate Anthem VaporSpud
