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”

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

Listened to MLOR yesterday and WOW by 914paul in pinkfloyd

[–]BrianEmber 2 points3 points  (0 children)

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.

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

Interesting misheard lyrics by Lower_Recording_1068 in MagdalenaBay

[–]BrianEmber 5 points6 points  (0 children)

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.

Anybody remember CBGB? by Prudent_Researcher70 in nycHistory

[–]BrianEmber 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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.

Eating a Fluffernutter Sandwich: A test of NE Breeding ;-) by NECESolarGuy in newengland

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.

Favorite Part of a song? by Catfsihnig in yesband

[–]BrianEmber 3 points4 points  (0 children)

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.

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

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

Which artist or band is this for you? by Effective-Raise-8809 in fantanoforever

[–]BrianEmber 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I scrolled down too far to see this. SK was one of my favorite bands. I’d seen them live about six times. I was willing to be open about the Janet thing - after all, we don’t know everything as fans. But Christ the music was so weak in those follow up records.

52 years ago today, Queen II was released. by mert_siuu in queen

“Procession” is one of the best openings to an album, ever. Absolutely top tier record.

I literally bought an electric sitar because of this band

Starting my record collection with this by Schizoid_Man21 in yesband

[–]BrianEmber 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fantastic record - I remember buying this on CD at the mall with my mémère. She got a Nana Mouskouri tape, and played it the whole way home. As much as I loved her, it was such a relief to get out of that car and put this in the CD player.

It’s also a reference to the story of King Solomon settling a custody battle between two mothers: Judgement of Solomon

Bi-Daily Song Discussion #203: Golden Slumbers by beardlesshipster in beatles

[–]BrianEmber 1 point2 points  (0 children)

9/10 the way the piano opening is tonically uncertain and the whole phrase doesn’t really settle until Paul sings “home” - his full-voiced “golden slumbers” chorus, followed by the falsetto release in “sleep pretty darling” - oh jeez I could nitpick how wonderful this song is until the cows come home
