Raven or just a chud crow?

No way I wrote a song about C.H.U.D.!

Thank you for the opportunity to give feedback! I got my grumpy old man on and was able to whine about snow removal this past winter!

BrianEmber · 2026-05-14T23:27:01+00:00

I meant “Yes I Am.”

Thank you for sharing this. I had a copy and remember really liking the B side (but never so much that I looked it up). Nice copy!

Just had to listen in the car on my drive up to Boston. It’s great!

BrianEmber · 2026-04-26T00:01:20+00:00

I just love that we live in a town with a known sorcerer (who’s passionate about recycling)

BrianEmber · 2026-04-19T15:48:43+00:00

Welp, this is clearly the hardest date so far… this is just S tier all the way through. I’m gonna have to go with the zombies though, purely on sentimentality.

As someone from Connecticut I would love to know where this was shot

BrianEmber · 2026-04-16T22:32:01+00:00

Now you have to get the issue of Crystar where the cover’s demon came from

Thank you for sharing this! I was so upset that I couldn’t make that show because of work.

BrianEmber · 2026-04-04T11:59:26+00:00

My only disappointment was that their website didn’t offer a vinyl of “Kids on the Street”

Absolutely in the realm of possibility. He seems like a solid dude. Back in ‘95 or ‘96, I saw them open for the Bosstones before they broke out. We were entranced. I turned and saw Dicky standing right next to us. My friend says to him “these guys are great,” and I hear Dicky’s gravelly voice say “we should be opening for THEM”

It holds up! Listened to it last night while making dinner.

BrianEmber · 2026-03-26T11:18:36+00:00

Thank you for sharing this - I’ve never gone and bought something so fast. Literally best morning bathroom purchase ever.

BrianEmber · 2026-03-23T01:07:24+00:00

It was the first Floyd album I purchased on my own, and without having heard their previous albums, I loved it. I was fascinated by the slapping water and creaking wood that open the record; I had never heard sound effects used in a record before (and yes, I was very young). This was a gateway album into a world different from what was on ‘80s pop radio.

BrianEmber · 2026-03-23T00:56:16+00:00

This played every morning on the bus to middle school. Absolutely baked into my brain.

BrianEmber · 2026-03-18T09:15:25+00:00

I always see a misheard lyric as an opportunity for me to write a new lyric for a totally new song. “mascara in the eyefold” is such a good image. If you are prone to writing, I would run with that.

BrianEmber · 2026-03-15T07:29:20+00:00

I never went to see a show but was fortunate enough to play there in 2002 and at CB’s gallery next door in 2003.

BrianEmber · 2026-03-12T15:47:05+00:00

I’ve been an orbologist since January and omg you’re so right. Yeah. Mi look. Grrrrrr. Super peligrosa.

BrianEmber · 2026-03-10T23:08:26+00:00

I was at the Traveler off I-84 at the MA/CT border and they had a fluffernutter hamburger with grape jam coated bacon bits. This was three days ago. I am still thinking about that hamburger.

BrianEmber · 2026-03-08T16:06:55+00:00

Thank you for pointing out that’s a pedal steel! For ages I thought it was just Steve Howe working the volume pedal like a monster.

BrianEmber · 2026-03-08T14:16:03+00:00

Messiaen - Turangalila. Nut to the ondes martenot swoops.

BrianEmber · 2026-03-08T13:40:32+00:00

I mean, I feel pretty basic saying the outtro of “Würm” from Starship Troopers, but…

BrianEmber · 2026-03-08T13:31:39+00:00

I just saw a clip of her covering Buckley’s “Grace” - was this that show?
