Brian Fowler Posted January 29, 2017 Posted January 29, 2017 Geoff Nichols, who briefly payed bass for Sabbath in '79 (he wrote the bassline for Heaven & Hell which Geezer "nicked" upon returning to the band) before becoming their keyboardist from then through the 2004 Ozzfest tour died of lung cancer. He played keys on 10 studio albums and 4 live outings for the band, more than anyone except Tony and Geezer.
Curt McGirt Posted January 31, 2017 Posted January 31, 2017 The man in the shadows. Rest in peace. It's crappy how Geoff was never given a more forefront role like Jon Lord, Ken Hensley, or Don Airey; he might've not been as present as them but still deserved some spotlight. I guess you can chalk it up to how Sabbath wanted to present themselves.
Curt McGirt Posted January 31, 2017 Posted January 31, 2017 Day officially over. John Wetton has passed away from cancer. Fripp even allowed a song to be on Youtube, amazingly, as seen above. I will resume cursing now so listen to that
Randy Posted February 1, 2017 Author Posted February 1, 2017 I really like this new Young Fathers song from the Trainspotting 2 soundtrack.
Curt McGirt Posted February 7, 2017 Posted February 7, 2017 http://www.npr.org/event/music/513287372/run-the-jewels-tiny-desk-concert I've seen weirder things on Tiny Desk Concerts, surprisingly. This is as good as you expect.
Brian Fowler Posted February 9, 2017 Posted February 9, 2017 So I got my income tax back and kinda just dropped $400 on vinyl...
Curt McGirt Posted February 9, 2017 Posted February 9, 2017 OOFTA. I just spent about $50 and I have 11 records coming because of a discount offer from a distro. But that's punk rock for you On the other hand my tax return is gonna be a splurge at least half of yours

Brian Fowler Posted February 10, 2017 Posted February 10, 2017 It's a hell of a lot cheaper than buying vintage copies of all of them. I didn't find a copy of just Their Satanic Majesties Request on vinyl for less than like $175 for just that album. Plus I'm very big into the mono resurgence of recent years (specifically albums where the mono mix was primary at the time. Releasing a new mono mix of a mid-70's album is just stupid.)

I got my German royalties for my books (close to $900) and two thirds got co-opted by the Mrs for bills. So much for the first edition of Pavane by Keith Roberts that I was planning on... I do have enough left for some tunes, so I'll check my Cramps collection and see if there's anything that needs to be added.
Ryan Posted February 11, 2017 Posted February 11, 2017 You can totally buy the top 100 on ITunes with enough left over for James Patterson's newest thriller EBook! Then i guess use the remaniing 12 cents to buy a plastic knife to try and end your life with. Your wife will pay off the bills instead of having an ornate funeral ritual. How do you feel about being buried in the desert and chewed on by coyotes?
zev Posted February 11, 2017 Posted February 11, 2017 http://90fm.org/events/tribute-weekend/ 24 hours of Lou Reed. I'm thinking they play at least 2 cuts from Lulu.
Ryan Posted February 11, 2017 Posted February 11, 2017 What if all they do is play Lulu on a loop? Lulu Loop. 1
zev Posted February 11, 2017 Posted February 11, 2017 They opened with My House and then followed it up with Charley's Girl. The latter had a fleeting moment of popularity when it was used in an episode of Once Upon A Time a couple years ago. http://othersideofthemirror.com/post/32789201928/analyzing-charleys-girlwhat-does-it-mean First VU song didn't hit until 15 minutes into this marathon.
Casey Posted February 12, 2017 Posted February 12, 2017 You can get a 6 month free trial of TIDAL if you use the code "sprint". I did it earlier today, watching the Reasonable Doubt 20th Anniversary doc right now.
Ryback Hates Bullies Posted February 18, 2017 Posted February 18, 2017 I know a lot of hip-hoppers stole their schtick from Ric Flair, but goddamn Abel.....
Zimbra Posted February 22, 2017 Posted February 22, 2017 Ted Leo is running a Kickstarter to make a new album, his first in 7 years. I'm not one for putting money in crowdfunding but I want a new Ted Leo album, dammit.
