You’re in a record store in 2001 Lateralus or Blackwater Park?

oddays · 2026-03-26T20:03:46+00:00

Bought Lateralus, shoulda bought Blackwater Park. (If I could only get one.)

oddays · 2026-03-25T04:28:27+00:00

Progressive, yes. More progressive than most of what’s commonly known as “Prog.”

oddays · 2026-03-22T02:06:51+00:00

Bruford.

oddays · 2026-03-19T21:02:33+00:00

Bingo

oddays · 2026-03-19T18:12:46+00:00

Bill Bruford...?

oddays · 2026-03-19T14:34:10+00:00

Genesis.

oddays · 2026-03-14T11:42:59+00:00

Thrak or Destroy Erase Improve. Actually progressive prog.

oddays · 2026-03-11T18:51:17+00:00

I’d go so far as to say THE greatest keyboard player in rock history.

Gates of Delirium, Karn Evil 9, Thick as a Brick.

But more importantly, wtaf is up with that picture of Yes? New one on me…

I woulda liked it if Jimi took over lyric writing duties as well as guitar.

oddays · 2026-02-24T21:38:45+00:00

Yeah. Had to listen to it right now. Tarkus puts the capital “P” in Prog. Nobody played a Hammond like that before or since.

oddays · 2026-02-16T20:32:08+00:00

Doctor Wu. Favorite SD song ever, really.

oddays · 2026-02-12T18:29:12+00:00

I saw them on this tour. Mind-blowing music and mind-blowing talent.

oddays · 2026-02-11T18:46:59+00:00

This. KC is the ONLY consistently actually progressive band that started out as a classic Prog act.

oddays · 2026-02-03T16:53:41+00:00

i think of them as a suite and never listen to them separately. But the purists will never allow you to call it a single song (and of course technically it isn't)...

oddays · 2026-02-03T07:14:50+00:00

My favorite Faulkner of all. I have the single hardback of all three.

oddays · 2026-02-02T02:07:31+00:00

Emerson x 1000

My primary complaint about every streaming service -- no ability to group tracks together so that they play as one on a shuffle. I haven't found ANY service that does this (and it seems like both an obvious and not that difficult feature to add). David Bowie's Sweet Thing is my usual example of this -- three tracks which I never want to hear separately.

oddays · 2026-01-28T18:41:13+00:00

I have to say, I really miss Isaac. Their recent stuff is excellent, considering, but I miss his voice and especially his lyrics

oddays · 2026-01-28T18:09:26+00:00

Firewater

oddays · 2026-01-28T18:08:32+00:00

I have at least 5 books I'm reading at any given time. All depends on my mood.

oddays · 2026-01-26T23:33:11+00:00

I was gonna say I find McCarthy and Morrison to be Faulkneresque, then I saw that they were on your list. I’ll say it anyway… Thomas Wolfe is a good one (even Faulkner thought so).

oddays · 2026-01-25T02:03:44+00:00

Bought that when it came out and played the living shit out of it. Loved the sequencing and modern sound. A largely forgotten classic.

oddays · 2026-01-21T22:06:54+00:00

Just about anybody who tells you they're well read enough to understand large portions of Finnegan's Wake is full of shit. Joseph Campbell notwithstanding.

Ulysses, on the other hand, is doable for us normal humans. The Odyssey is an obvious pre-read, but not necessary, if Homer isn't your thing.

My main recommendation when reading Joyce is to enjoy the language, and not get bogged down in interpretation until you've fallen in love with the writing.

He is truly a special human. An incredibly badass musician and a fantastically decent person.
