My content may be niche, but it attracts the highest quality followers.
Yeah, he's an odd one. Always said he'd rather play in other people's bands than do his own. He co-founded Earth as far as I know and was also in The Melvins during their peak period.
Does there need to be a standalone prog community? I'll let nostr:npub1p3q90x8quww274xjkggc0xap665k2yymzwyl54w6tweqmktt5ksqfv9t86 make that decision. If just fill if with krautrock anyway.
Maybe I'll make one if I ever figure how to, but I'll likely ban anyone who attempts to post in it.
I'm off to see The Brian Jonestown Massacre tonight. Should be a great show, but sadly I doubt they'll play my favourite Charles Manson cover.
*will forever regret. FFS, can't I compose just one music effort-post without a typo, a missing word or mangled syntax?
Possibly the greatest one-man band of the 90s and 2000s. Hearing this live at full volume is one of my favourite live music experiences. Sadly, I was one of only about 6 punters that night and possibly the only one who wasn't in one of the other bands. Joe looked so pissed off to have travelled all the way to Australia to play to no one that I didn't have the nerve to go up to him after the show and say hello - something I forever regret.
It'd be like Black Books, only funnier and set in a picture framing shop.
It's been a while since I used Amethyst. Why is it that I only have 4 reactions to choose from, none of which serve to communicate the message "hey, nice post"?
I do and I'm usually quite charming when I'm at work thank you very much.
Xenakis is the only music a client ever asked me to turn off when they were in my shop. I refused.
That is way too tempting - you shouldn't have told me that.
Fuck Bitcoin, I'm going long on Eurorack.
Seesselberg only put out one brief album in 1973 (tantalizingly titled "Synthetik 1"), but it's a great example of modular noise, in a similar vein to White Noise's "An Electric Storm". Other than that, I think these guys mainly did the academic circuit, showing off the musical possibilities of the then-new technology. There's some cool live footage here mixed up with Stan Brakhage-style abstractions. The almost entirely blank reaction shots of the crowd are priceless.
Me explaining to the three bots who follow this account why Porcupine Tree aren't really prog because prog is an impulse toward innovation and expansion and not a cheap aesthetic which can be simply put on like a second-hand Pink Floyd t-shirt.

Haven't looked at Amethyst in a while either.
