Well, I don't know. Some guy at Community was berating me the other day about
how it's an evil sell-out album and I should go listen to _Piper at the Gates
of Dawn_. Not having heard either, I don't have much to say.

It's just that while Gilmour professed to want to continue Floyd for
artistic reasons, they've spent more time re-issuing and repackaging old
material than actually making new music: two new albums versus two live
albums, one box set, one series of digital remasters, and one _Dark Side
of the Moon_ anniversary release. And the music they've put together
recently is about the equivalent of aural wallpaper. Sounds more like
business, than art, to me...

By the way, I misused the word 'postulate' didn't I? <Cricket mumbles
something about "Y'know, I just hate it when people try to make
themselves look smart by useing big words. Damn.">

re #21: There is music I loved as a little kid that I love all the more now,
and also, I have a theory that Depeche Mode serves a manic-depressive's taste
well, so there's little chance I will EVER give them up. They were just
singing my song too well, and they still do..

Depeche Mode is too cool for me, these days...

Maybe. Ultra does smack of a little trendiness, but i still like it.

Oh, wow! I just bought Fish's latest album from SKR (On sale now at only
14.99!). It's called "Sunsets Over Empire", and it's abso-bally-lutly
brillient! It's far, far cooler than his previous album (that was released
in the US), "Internal Exile", which was cool, but didn't strike me as being
as good as it could have been. Most of it struck me as formulaic, almost pop.
But "Sunsets" fixes all of that, and more. Yes, Dan, it's coming to your
party tonight, and I'm going to force all of you to listen to it... As for
the rest of you, it has gotten a fairly wide US release, so I insist you all
run out and buy it... It even has a music video that you can play from your
computer (I haven't figured out how to get it to run smoothly yet, but Oh
Well).

Well, it _didn't_ come, and I _haven't_ heard it. Bring it in to Commie
Monday and we can inflict it on the student center.

Sorry, I was in such a hurry out the door to go to the Indigo Girls concert
that I completely forgot it. I will indeed bring it to the SC Monday.
Bu-ha-haa... Actually, though, I'm a little bit hesitant to do that, being
as it doesn't really make for good background music. As for you, Mark Z.,
Please do ('though if you can get your hands on a copy of "Script for a
Jesters
>Tear", by Marrillion, Fish's old band, you might want get that instead. It's
every bit as good as "Sunsets", plus it has the superb instrumental work of
the rest of Marillion.)

I've hear _Script For a Jester's Tear_, and _Misplaced Childhood_. I think
I've also heard _Fugazi_ and _Clutching at Straws_. The first two are my
faves...

Lucky. You've heard more Marrillion stuff than I have. Oh well, I'm young
yet. Basically, I buy/reserve anything of thiers that I find in used music
stores.

_Script..._ and _Misplaced Childhood_ are definitely top-tier stuff. _Fugazi_
is good, too.

I've been looking into Fugazi... I've got a promise for a late B-Day present
of "Vigil in a Wilderness of Mirrors", which, BTW, is at SKR for a hugely
bloated price, but I'm currently consolodating my cashes to make a donation
to Marillions "Tour Fund". Which incedently means signing me up for a "Tour
Fund CD", recorded live in Rochester, NY, by Marillion. All H stuff, but
still looks to be pretty cool. And if I'm making a donation to a great band?
All the better!

I thought that Fugazi kept the price of all their albums down to $9 or $10
per CD... ?

We're talking about the band Marillion, which has an album called _Fugazi_,
not the band, Fugazi...

Ah, the confusion continues.
Does 'Fugazi' have some significance that they're both referring to,
perchance?

I recall hearing that "fugazi" was supposed to mean "messed up". I assume
that if it came from any language, it would be Japanese. But I'm not sure...

Okay, I was saving this one until December, to spare you the agony of one more
Chistmas thing to hassle with while the leaves were still green...
I'm sure you heard the progressive take on holiday tunes from last year,
courtesy of the Trans-Siberian Orchestra. I spotted this in good numbers in
Meijer's, a few weeks ago. Not sure I want to hear a whole album of
progressive holiday tunes, but, then again, what I heard so far was kinda
cool...

Prog-rock holiday tunes? At sail at Mejer?
I'll reserve comment...

No..I'm interested. I can't imagine progressive acts doing holiday stuff,
especially some alternative acts. Synth bands? Hmmm...maybe Erasure or Pet
Shop Boys, but DM..? ehehehhehe.
btw, what *is* defined as progressive today?
