  1. Stopping at the record store on the way home from work today!!
  2. Sorry for another double post... The mobile version of TRF makes quoting posts a bitch..
  3. Rogers actual solo material I find enjoyable... Hitchhiking was fantastic, short, but not overly dark like The Wall, or Final Cut... Nor even Animals. And if you can get past Rogers politics "Amused to Death" is phenomenal Other than a couple of tracks I've never been too impressed with Radio KAOS though.
  4. It's definitely not my LEAST favorite Pink Floyd song, but it was an experiment that just didn't work at all. I don't mind the music in this song, it's nice and mellow, featuring some good piano work from Rick Wright..... But the breaks in the song that feature the breakfast and eating sounds and people talking about marmalade annoy the hell out of, and ruin the song for me.
  5. 1. Shine on You Crazy Diamond (also My favorite song of all time) 2. Echoes 3. Dogs 4. Brain Damage/Eclipse 5. Wish You Were Here 6. In the Flesh 7. Arnold Layne 8. On The Turning Away 9. The Great Gig in the Sky 10. Wot"s Uh....The Deal 11. Interstellar Overdrive 12. Time/Breathe(reprise) 13.Coming Back to Life 14. Pigs (Three Different Ones) 15. A Saucerful of Secrets (Live versions with David on ending vocals) . . . . . . . (Least Favorite/Dislike) 1. Alan's Psychedelic Breakfast
  6. New Acoustic live album/DVD/Blu-Ray coming out... "An Acoustic Evening at the Vienna Opera House" Out on Mar. 26 http://s.recordshopx.com/cover/normal/3/34/345196.jpg?lp There's a trailer as well http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nL7WY5rI6HQ Edit to add.... I couldn't find an official track listing, but this is the setlist from the show in Vienna where the show was recorded via Setlest.fm... so I assume this will be the tracklisting as well. Palm Trees Helicopters and Gasoline Jelly Roll (Charles Mingus cover) Dust Bowl Around the Bend Slow Train Athens to Athens From the Valley / The Ballad of John Henry Dislocated Boy Driving Towards the Daylight High Water Everywhere (Charley Patton cover) Jockey Full of Bourbon (Tom Waits cover) Richmond Stones in My Passway (Robert Johnson cover) Ball Peen Hammer (Chris Whitley cover) Black Lung Heartache Woke Up Dreaming Encore: Sloe Gin (Tim Curry cover) Seagull (Bad Company cover)
  7. Listened to the new album today...WOW, superb record. Their last 3 releases (Shrine, Memories in My Head, and Anno Domini) have been the best of their career, hopefully they are not peaking now, but just WOW.. Dont get me wrong, I love Out of Myself, Second Live Syndrome, and Rapid Eye Movement, but for the most part those records kind of sound the same... good but was laking in forward strides on those albums.. The last three though... as I said.. WOW
  8. On a side note, Can anyone give me a synopsis of the story behind C&C's albums...or provide a good link that tells the stories of these albums? I've tried going through the lyrics and find the story kind of hard to follow.. (thought admittedly have not tried all that hard.
  9. Finally had a good enough drive to-and-from work today to listen to the album... I like it, mostly.... these are my initial impressions. The only track I did not care for was "Number City", not terrible, but the weakest track on the album.. The softer tracks ("Away We Go" and "Iron Fist") were okay... but they have much better "softer songs" (Wake Up, and Pearl of the Stars to name two). The rest of the album was fantastic though, I thought.. and a good 2nd half and continuation of the first half of the album that came out last year.... Again, these are first impressions, after one listen. I still need to hear "Ascension and Descension" back to back and see how well they play off each other but I liked this album very much, not as much as I liked "Ascension", but still far and away better than YotBR, and NWFT. On the production side of things, I did notice that Descension did sound a bit muddy, something I didn't notice on Ascension... Not too bothersome, but noticeable.
  10. Ugh I don't like live albums by bands with only one studio album to their name. What will they have on the album, the whole debut album plus a couple of covers? Meh. From the setlists I saw, they filled out their setlists nicely... with no covers...technically.... They did a few tunes by band that the members involved were in.. so there was a DT song, a Dixie Dregs song, a Endochine song (who Casey McPherson sang with), and a Spock's Beard song...that with performing the whole album live fills out a good set I think.
  11. theyre supposed to be putting out a live record sometime this year...
  12. Was anyone a fan of the prog-metal band Sieges Even? They broke up a few years ago due to the always common "internal differences" but were a very good band... Their last two albums are the ones I am the most familiar and I suggest people give "The Art of Navigating by the Stars" and "Paramount" a spin if they've never heard of the band... A couple of years ago the vocalist and guitarist for Sieges Even reformed under a new name... That being "Subsignal" and their debut album "Beautiful and Monstrous" was released shortly thereafter.. I also recommend that album as well. And their most recent album "Touchstones" came out in 2011 (I still need to pick this one up) Truly great bands...
  13. The video was outstandingly beautiful.. I did not think he could top GFD... but I've limited myself to just "Luminol" and now the Title Track... nothing else.. Ive avoided other previews...but if the rest of the album is of this calibur, GFD might be topped.
  14. Defiantly will pick that up, hope they will have a special edition that includes the audio as well, for the old CD player.. On a side note... It's almost been 2 YEARS since aDToE was released.!!!
  15. Not really researching that too much, but it looks like you might have got one of the Ytse Jam releases... which was DT's line of "official" bootlegs and CD's.. They're meant to be really simple releases, and not a highly produced live releases like "Score" or "Budokan" EDIT TO ADD: Okay did some further research, it's not even a Ytse Jam release, looks like a fan bootleg you got there..or possibly a fan club release (but I am almost certain they have not released any FC item since way before the Octaviarim era, and cannot remember them doing FC dvds)...but most likely a Fan Boot... sorry if it was marketed to you like a DT official release..
  16. Score was the first thing I ever picked up by DT, it had just come out, and it was a month or so before Systematic Chaos was released... Great live album
  17. A Few Photos from the Amazing Show on Saturday.... Eric f***ing Johnson showed up during Willie the Pimp!!! http://sphotos-a.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ash4/309785_2722565199624_1233004745_n.jpg http://sphotos-a.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-snc6/226182_2730892647805_2094303772_n.jpg http://sphotos-b.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ash3/602878_2730893207819_1147822543_n.jpg http://sphotos-b.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-prn1/36516_2730893287821_130239028_n.jpg The Setlist http://sphotos-a.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-snc7/388763_2730893887836_2014817281_n.jpg They did "Muffin Man" during the Encore as well... AMAZING SHOW
  18. Seeing ZPZ tonight in Austin!!!!!!!!!
  19. Sherry was a waitress at the only joint in town...
  20. Looking forward to the new album, or the second half of last years album.... Lol Loved Ascention... But it was a bit short and felt incomplete.... Though I think that listening to both albums back to back is gonna be mandatory for these records
  21. New GoT season 3 teaser... still no new footage...but great nonetheless http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RN7e_Oo0Bis
  22. http://sphotos-a.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-snc6/603175_2667969434764_535305144_n.jpg
  23. Liberating Outposts is fun... especially when there is a Tiger or a Bear in a cage.. just snipe the cage and enjoy the show!!!
  24. Im intrigued by Oswin as well... at first I thought they were gonna pull another River Song with her... (The Doctor meets her at the end of her story line)...but this is very different. I also hope they don't pull a South Park "Kenny" type of thing as well and have her die in every episode.
