🎵 Steven Wilson on stage at Portland …
How many people in the audience saw us play Seattle last night?
calls and noises and - maybe 30 people were counted ….
Because if you thought that show was compromised … welcome to Portland!

🎵 Fleetwood Mac’s Split With Lindsey Buckingham
Well, not the first time, but to me the Fleetwoods are Buckingham …

“Suffering convictions on a two-way stretch inside
The air in here is pretty thin, I think I’ll go outside
Committed for insanity and crimes against the soul
The worst crime that I ever did was play some rock ‘n roll.”
The Stranglers
🎵Something Better Change
“I said something better change
I said something better change
I said something better change
I said something better change
The Stranglers
🎵Well worth a listen - the truth is finally out, thanks to Rolling Stone. I didn’t see the film as a hatchet job - but it does make sense when you understand the back story.
🎵 OOOOHHHH
🎵 two years and two days since the passing of keith emerson …. seems forever ago and just yesterday.
🎵 What do we consider is the average price for rock concert tickets these days - not a big name - stadium gig - more a mid name - 1200 standing room only gig?
🎵 Robert Plant at 66 on The Jools Holland Show … educating us on how it is done. Absolutely phenomenal.
And if you thought you knew ‘Whole Lotta Love’ .. you are likely wrong unless you heard him do it with The Shape Shifters.
🎵 Just for you @seansharp Click Here
🎵 26 Seconds
The ‘full’ version of the ‘single second’ … for @seansharp .. more about Wilson can be read here
🎵 was it [@stefp](https://micro.blog/stefp) or [@minton](https://micro.blog/minton) or [@laurentboileau](https://micro.blog/laurentboileau) or [@pgor](https://micro.blog/pgor) that put me onto Night Watch - and I was told it was Genesis like …. Genesis derivative I would say - would fit right in with those first 5 albums - and the voice - O M G … they used to talk about Fish - but this is even closer. Thankyou for sharing.
If you are reading this post on my site, you will see that this link is rendered as an embedded video at the bottom of the post. (THANKYOU @rknightuk]. It will render just fine - unless the video owner wants you to watch it over on YouTube (and to be fair - there are very good reasons for that). If that happens, click on the link above and you will be taken to YouTube. The 'error' is only because the creator wants you to got to YouTube to watch it. That said - on rare occasions, it might actually be broken. If it is - sorry about that - try sending me an email and I will check if I made an error.
🎵 If you are already a user of any Rogue Amoeba product … this is a nice little thank-you from them.
Soundsource is a handy little utility - and this is where you can get your free license from them
🎵 OSI This popped into my feed today Reminded me that I hadn’t listened to it for a while … now I know what today’s music will be.
There has been dialogue in the micro.blog network about Black Mirror … did not know that Sigur Ros was the music behind Series 4.
🎵 Fascinating short on the making of 10CCs ‘I’m Not In Love’. Creme and Godley were massive innovators of music and video in their day … and to my mind, too often ignored today. This gives lovely detail into the making of a massive song. Enjoy.
🎵 Pete Frame
Read all about him on Wikipedia or - pop over to his web site
I had two of his books a long time ago. Long gone / misplaced / lost. But, if you are interested in the music of the 60s and 70s, the books and trees inside contain a veritable cornucopia of visual information relating to the music of the day.
I have often thought that it would be interesting to see something similar done for the software industry - again starting in those heady days and how companies were gobbled up, grew, where the founders went to etc … I think the results would be fascinating.
