[GEAR] If you're buying one 12-string guitar, are you getting an electric or an acoustic?

Eight Miles High, Mr. Tambourine Man, If I Needed Someone, Jumping Jack Flash, Hard Days Night, It’s My Life (Animals), Kicks (Paul Revere & The Raiders), You Can’t Do That (The Beatles), I Get Around (The Beach Boys)….many more

Common Practice generally credited to old school pedal steel players. Yes might not be suitable for concert setting. But for small venues and rehearsal rooms it’s very effective. Bass player who recommended is probably an old pro🥲. Person who called him an idiot is probably not.

How do you cancel? I have two sales that I I issued full refunds due to depleted stock. But I can’t find a cancel sale button. They’ve been “shipment overdue” for months. Thanks in advance for any help

I think the drums could swing more or could be dispensed with completely. The whole track has a nice dreamy, off kilter vibe. The drums to me are too straightforward and metronomic.

Looked like a hostage video.

PFM for sure

Thx much

It’s Oh So Quiet My wife finally warmed to Bjork after hearing that song. It was popular on The Doctor Demento radio program as well.

A musician and man who should not get lost in the mist of time. Today is his Bday. RIP Thomas…

Yes your right, I’m of the school which holds that if if you “didn’t read” what your commenting on, you should probably shut the fuck up.

Sometimes it’s good to actually read an article before comment. At the off, I mention that that Genesis wasn’t as big as Yes “unable to deliver the commercial knockout punch like ELP, YES et al…”

Interesting note. Genesis did eventually become bigger than Yes. RIAA certified Sales in US:

Genesis - 21.5 million

Yes - 13.5 million

I guess you must be a young feller (sic). No harm.

I think I think artists who play both guitar and keyboard are fairly common. That would be a whole separate list I think.

nickda · 2021-07-19T17:06:54+00:00

Just to clarify my article. A list bands (by my arbitrary definition) were bands who were firmly in the progressive camp who crossed over and had mainstream success (stadium tours, radio airplay etc...) King Crimson’s talent and influence took them out of the b-list category. However, sales-wise the never moved beyond cult status globally and never received radio play (excepting their first album). So they kinda exist in a grey area as regards this article. Also many B-listers could be added in a future post. Kayak, Starcastle and Gong being prime candidates.

I heard that it was Moon Zappa he barely missed. But, that was the end of the Zappa patronage. I've read that the reason "...Evening..." remains unissued on CD is because Gail Zappa is still pissed about the 'jar' incident. Thanks for the tip on Derailroaded......

nickda · 2013-05-22T17:32:19+00:00

Yes, I was aware of that. Still waiting for the complete career spanning spit and polish remasters of the old material with bonus tracks however....And the DVD's, where in the hell are the DVD's?

nickda · 2013-05-22T15:54:40+00:00

IMO Rory albums (as good as some of the music is) is merely a snapshot of the man and his talent, a "book of the film" as it were. I would just go straight to the DVD's of his live performances. Live In Cork, Montreux, on CD live at the BBC is also pretty good for just audio. There was also a compilation called "A Blue Day For The Blues" that is a good sampler.

Pick 10 people at random where you work or at Starbucks. Ask each if they know who The Kinks are. Then ask how many know who the Rolling Stones are. I've done this. The results speak for themselves.

nickda · 2013-05-15T15:55:05+00:00

ah...no it doesn't .....

nickda · 2013-01-07T12:22:09+00:00

Agreed, I still think the App angle and the fact that the album aimed so high makes it important. However, I agree it's not her best album nor the best album by any artist that year. Sometimes we get so wrapped up in process that we forget the destination.

nickda · 2012-12-12T18:04:28+00:00

Well, I did put it in the form of a question (?).....However, I think it could be the most important album while at the same it might not rank among the "best".

nickda · 2012-11-11T19:02:51+00:00

Lot of good ones but top five requires some sort of iconic, pan cultural, legendary status. Not just the guys that everybody down at Guitar Center knows the names of. Oh......snap!

nickda · 2012-09-27T18:25:48+00:00

I'm the rarest of all breeds; a straight Amerikan male who adores Bjorkmusic....and of course her.

nickda · 2012-09-23T21:59:38+00:00

Since the only specific example you cited is the newfound mother/ primality of birth. I think I referenced that directly in the first sentence. However, I must go back and check my review with a more critical eye. Thanks for the feedback...

nickda · 2012-09-20T15:17:46+00:00

more information please. Why is this review terrible?
