Saw my favorite band (or the lead singer Mark Burgess and other non-original members) The Chameleons last night. Met the guitarist in the Mexican restaurant next door, had a nice chat. Got to meet up with several folks I know from FB-land, one couple came from about 2 hours away! Fun times! After their set, Mark came out and was chatting with a bunch of us at the Merchandise table. I got this idea - having had my son with me to see his two-person live show recently - to ask him to wish my son a happy birthday for next month. Mark was awesome to oblige, and I have a nice video I will send Andrew on his BDay!

^^ So many "looks" there.....indeed, what memories!

Happy Belated Marc!

^^ Listened to some of this last night, agreed. For me, needed some lighter but somewhat sophisticated pop, and another 80's/90's group (person) is at it again.

A long belated RIP to a cousin by marriage....my Stepfather's nephew Barry, who was a musician under the name Barri. I found out from my Stepbrother just today that he had passed in 2020, apparently of some kind of cancer; he hadn't been in touch with the family in years so even my Stepbrother only just found out. I have one of his CD's, it's a pretty darn good and musical one of modern Reggae influenced by some Roots. This is a Promo pic from a single off his CD, he had dreadlocks down to his ankles!

Aren't Peter and Dusty two different personas/personalities? Maybe they SHOULD have 2 different threads. Anyway...Happy Birthday, with a <Party Favor Noise> 🥳 included

Love the new widget, thanks Todd & Nate!

Good thoughts Dusty, and I tend to agree; started listening last night.....it's not Tiger Mountain or Warm Jets by any means 😄 I've enjoyed it so far though!

^^ I heard he does vocals on that, true?

Happy Birthday twice! Can a mod combine this with Steve's post?

Happy Birthday!!

Happy Birthday!!

Happy Birthday Wayne!

RIP Louise! One of my FB friends said this: "One of the greatest characters in one of the best films ever made." I'm inclined to agree...

Happy Birthday Jim! Are you a hippie yet? 😄

Not real, but I wish it was.....

^^ Nick Cave and Warren Ellis soundtrack..... How do you like it?

They are such beautiful things! I saw some great ones year ago, Karen and I went to a wedding in Skaneateles NY; they had a Wooden Craft show in town that weekend...some beauties there, even down to some awesome hand-crafted canoes and more.

Happy Belated!

Love her too....amazing talent, and powerful voice. Her version of "The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face" eclipses Roberta Flack's by a good margin for me, and that version was already fantastic. On a side note, amazing that the song was written by Ewan MacColl, amazing himself, and father to the ever-lovely Kirsty MacColl (RIP).

Going on a "industrial guitar" binge....been a while since listened to Peter Brötzmann's son....

Happy Birthday!!

Wow....I have never seen that movie (and maybe it's a good thing; but I like Heather as well). My favorite Heather movie isn't actually Austin Powers, but instead a little no-name called Gray Matters. A light fun romp, not super deep but I managed to like just about all the characters.

So my local dealer some time ago had one of these and had a long listening session using the same set of CD's in pairs, one un-treated and one treated in front of us. We never saw which CD's he would put in first but there were 6 of us that picked out the shaved CD's with almost 80% consistency. We DID think there was something better to the sound..... Not truly scientific and true A/B testing, but we were very pleasantly surprised. The dealer offered to shave/treat CD's that anyone brought (I didn't) that night, and the 4 folks that DID bring them all took advantage.
