🎵 Music
🎵 To me Chubby Checker and Bob Dylan seem to be from totally different generations .. but in fact are the same age. 🤯
📼 🎵 The Life and Music of John Wetton - the production of this video is everything that John Wetton was not. But the message and the story? I’ll take it - not enough written about the guy who 🔗 wrote 🎵 Starless
📼 Steven Wilson - Drive Home (4K Remaster)
The track is ‘old’ but as gorgeous as ever. The accompanying video has been remastered in 4K, which has no connection to 🎵 Guthrie Govan’s guitar … but - oh my! From one of two albums that I consider to be ‘sublime Wilson’.
🎵 TIL that Metal / Ragga fusion is not just a thing - but has been a thing for a LONG time.
🎵 What would a modern equivalent to Jefferson Airplane performing two songs from Surrealistic Pillow on ‘American Bandstand’ and ‘talking; to Dick Clark whilst surrounded by lots of ‘young things’ be …. do you think?
🔗 🎵 The Beatles to release final song using AI to isolate John Lennon’s voice.
I wonder where the proceeds will go to?
It was around 10 years ago that I got my first exposure to Guthrie Govan on Steven Wilson’s Raven album and in the touring band that IMHO was the definitive Wilson band.
Nice to see 📼 Rick Beato wax lyrical on the man in 10 short minutes that includes some great YouTube footage.
🎵 Bonus - Guthrie running his magic on Wonderful Slippery Thing
🎵 Mirror To The Sky - Yes
I have now listened to the new Yes album maybe 4 times. It is definitely not their greatest album - by any stretch - but it is also far from the worst.
Peak Yes years for me were those leading up to Topographic … and to compete with that era is hard … but this does (though it does lose 😎).
Trivia thought.
I wonder why the ‘title track’ off Mirror To The Sky is called ‘Mirror to the Sky’?
Intentional? If so why?
Sloppy? Very ‘un Yes’.
Favorite opening … the first minute of ‘Unknown Place’ - it falls off very quickly.
Favorite Track … the title track - which also happens to be the longest … I am a sucker for long musical exploration.
‘One Second is Enough’ … meh as is most of ‘disc 2’ … why did they bother?
🎵 My friend Scott Schorr has just made 50 vinyl copies of the Levin Torn White album available for sale, with …
$5 from every purchase will be donated to Music Aid Northwest in Alan’s name.
It is a superb album.
🎵 Mirror To The Sky By Yes … as I type on my second time through it … so that’s good … right?
… update. 🖇️ Review
🎵 The Neal Morse band is living proof that having a band full of rock stars (literally and figuratively) doesn’t guarantee a great outcome.
Discuss.
“The best ‘Yes’ album in 20 years”
… reads the review.
That’s not a high bar, for a start there have only been 3 others.
🎵 Will check it out and come back later.
I just found out about 🔗 Connie Converse
🎙️ Mike Pesca talking to Howard Fishman who wrote 📚 To Anyone Who Ever Asks
Talk about a hole in history.
🎵 Have to say, I am in two minds about this … but Beck’s guitar … sublime.
Side note … As a kid ‘Moonriver’ seemed to be played everywhere - even years after its release. Funny to see two artists that my parents railed against performing a crooner standard!
I love the Playing For Change Series.
Stumbled across these over the weekend.
Enjoy.
Gimme Shelter (The Rolling Stones) feat. Taj Mahal
What’s Going On (Marvin Gaye) Feat. Sara Bareilles

🪦Et tu Gordon. I didn’t believe it when I read it .. but yes it is true. 84 … not a bad run.

🎵 Crapa Pelada - what is not to love about this ear worm that I first heard on Breaking Bad … or was it Better Call Saul?
