Speaking of more piano. For Elvira by Francesca Tandoi Trio (2014) https://open.qobuz.com/album/a7s0cd5mvszhc Example: More on the traditional side of jazzy jazz. Nice set.

I agree it is a good album. I am still partial to the solo piano work from Country Aires myself. But being Rick Wakeman, there's like five or six solo piano albums that I listen to on the regular.

Interesting. I was peripherally aware of this fellow because of a couple EPs he released years ago. I had no idea he was still at nor that he had such a substantial modular rig.

Curiously, the Romans actually mainly spoke Greek. But who can forget "He's not the Messiah, he a very naughty boy!" And:

Needed something clean and plinky to listen to, so sat down with Rick Wakeman's Melancholia. This is easily the best of his solo piano albums, by far. Will be a repeat listen.

After a nice crabmeat sandwich lunch, got my Flu and (first) Shingles shots. Vaccines for the MFW!

Way back in 2003, a creative and wacky Norwegian (is there any other kind?) named Gisle Martens Meyer eleased Resound, his first full length under the name Ugress. It was a breakbeat driven sampledelic good time. On it is the killer track "Decepticons" which among other things, features the sound of Transformers ...transforming being scratched by a DJ. In the 2000s, I used it to lure some of my more nerdy friends into the world of electronic music. It's also littered with samples from the TV series and 1986 movie. (This was years before the Michael Bay CGI slop fests tainted the Transformers name.) "Decepticons" was the first thing I thought of when I heard (voice of Optimus Prime) Peter Cullen died. Do not grieve for him, he shall become one with the matrix.

Trigger by Sharon Mansur (2025) https://open.qobuz.com/album/qpt5r10bpmoua Example: Found down in my queue a bit. Released last year, most likely added based on Dusty post. I like her flow, and the trio plays well together. Nice variety of styles.

Sorry for your loss Antonio. RIP Uncle José Luis. Jaye P. Morgan was fun and sexy in her own way on the Gong Show. She was 94! Rip Jaye P.

Indeed, he was a painter, not a famous one but a good one. Father of three, grand father of other three. Very fun and vital I keep very good memories from my childhood with him and my cousins.

But these are moving pictures , having at least 10³ worth. Indeed. Uploading Attachment... https://faroutmagazine.co.uk/10-best-robert-fripp-toyah-willcox-covers/

RIP Peter Cullen voice of Optimus Prime. He has become one with the matrix.

Sorry to see this! RIP José Luis......96, amazing! I hope it was a life so well-lived.

What a fucking horrible few days....! Dolly, Tim..... Add to that one of my childhood crushes, Jaye P. Morgan. Saw her on the Gong Show, once wearing a blue jumpsuit and blue make-up (eye-liner and lipstick) and that was it for me. And the time she stripped off her shirt (no bra) for Gene Gene the Dancing Machine segment.....oy! I guess that got her kicked off though.... Loved her on that show. Also, RIP Yayoi Kusama, the Japanese artist known for her wild polka-dot images. Several years ago, Karen and I saw an example of her Infinity Room demo at the Tate Gallery..... In pictures: The dotty world of Japanese artist Yayoi KusamaKusama was known for creating extraordinary immersive worlds that delighted millions of visitors.

It’s just a bad year. My uncle José Luis, my father’s oldest brother, passed this morning at 96. Fulminant prostate cancer.

Yeah, but these are WRITTEN WORDS. So there.

Sunday Lunch are quite fun.

I guess We'll never know.

I wonder if I had a biscuit if it would help with the big, beautiful obituary... RIP to the greats Dolly and Tim.

I just found this funny...

It's apparently a bad year to be 80.

Wuhoo! We're 75% of the way there on fundraising with a little over two weeks to go.
