"coding" was not unheard of in that climate...

Really, I don't know what they were thinking with that stuff...I sometimes think it was more about the math of it, like we need to do THIS because we're doing THAT...equation music, maybe. But that was a long time ago, so...who knows, really? Coding, maybe, or maybe just having there heads in a different place than we can be at now.

Supposedly the brain can only handle two lines at a time. Everything more than that, we process by changing listening points every microsecond or so. And to continuously follow even two takes intense concentration. That's what they told me in school, anyway. It seems logical though.

No. It's a "special" on bandcamp only, like the Dewey Redman thing from the same source. Approved by Billy. Not expensive though, good recording and as you can expect, everybody plays well. It's Billy!

I've yet to hear or purchase any Ethiopian Jewish Liturgical music, but I'd like to, maybe.

We have an existing COVID discussion thread. You have posted there yourself.

Because it was in the movie?

Well, yeah, because, you know, they take what they want without having to make any deals with anybody. It's all perfectly legal, (in that part of the world), but that's why.

did somebody say Buddy Rich? Us young people remember this one!

Thank you, and again, welcome back!

Yeah...we've got a policy now that "speculations" around COVID are not gonna happen here, too much of that already. Verifiable data (as in, post a reputable source along with the cliam), sure, all day long. But other than that, no.

Steve Griggs is a hero. Zevvers is a...brand, at this point, anyway.

First, welcome back! You have been missed. Secondly, do you have a verifiable source for this claim?

He has endured. And I'm perfectly happy if he never makes another record or anything. Just hope for him to live in peace, he's earned it.

Carl Fredricksen ! RIP, lotsa warm memories of his various roles here.

RIP. At some point I need to take a deep dive into his legacy.

This is a good document...not sure if I still have it though...

The best piece of journalism from the Brian Is Back days was a long piece in Crawdaddy. IIRC, there was input from the band, and special mention was made of Brian's s fades. They really are unique!

I like that Brian's first answer to his "favorite" is Friends. Definitely a connoisseur's choice! 15 Big Ones was...forced, even though, moments of brilliance. But Love You, OMG...it's only quirky because it is. But Brain...in TOTAL command, and those synth textures got moved over into "New Wave" bands, like VERY quickly. It was noticeable to anybody who had been paying attention to Love You, which was about...five people.

Honestly, I still ahve a hard time buying into "library music" for whatever reason...it all seems like music done on spec, which is what it is, what any "commercial music" is, really. But in the end, it all seems a little amorphous. Like well-arranged and played job music swathed in narcotic reverb. The surface is beautiful, though. But that "Hideaway" thing...I feel that one. They got the whole album on the YouTubes: Like Jackie & Roy's Grass, only....better.
