STYRENE-SURFER Posted March 29, 2020 Posted March 29, 2020 for the metal heads, I still listen to this album regularly. It keeps me, well.............................................................................................................................?
STYRENE-SURFER Posted March 29, 2020 Posted March 29, 2020 7/4 Shoreline. An odd time signature, 7/4. And just because............................................................................................................................................................................................................. Why not.
STYRENE-SURFER Posted March 29, 2020 Posted March 29, 2020 Band hails from Massachusetts. Barbara plays a mean guitar, this song seems poignant today. ROCK IT!

ChrisBcritter Posted April 2, 2020 Posted April 2, 2020 Phantom's Divine Comedy. Obscure, yes, but I like it even though it's not what I usually listen to. "Calm Before the Storm" (at 8:07) is my favorite track, and was released as a single: And yes, the lead singer does sound a lot like Jim Morrison.

STYRENE-SURFER Posted April 2, 2020 Posted April 2, 2020 (edited) Just an addition for those prog music lovers out there. This is one you need to turn up! Edited April 3, 2020 by STYRENE-SURFER 1
STYRENE-SURFER Posted April 2, 2020 Posted April 2, 2020 I've posted some videos by the "Stone Coyotes" before. Here is Barbara's solo album from 1973. (Very different) and quite nice, do give it a try. This piece of vinyl must be extremely rare these days.

Nice, that's totally in my wheelhouse as a collector of odd and wonderful recordings from the '60s-'70s. ?
styromaniac Posted April 6, 2020 Posted April 6, 2020 Favorite obscure music? Think 1972-73....Blacksburg Va. Jethro Tull was booked to play Cassell Coliseum at Virginia Tech. They were touring on the strength of their "Aqualung" LP...which every frat boy and jock was blasting out of their dorm room at the time. I liked Tull's earlier effort "Stand Up", but had lost interest in them in favor of other acts. But then I heard that a protege of Frank Zappa...Don Von Vliet aka Captain Beefheart was to be Tull's opening act. Having been blown away by prior exposure to this guy I just had to check him out live. Anyone familiar with his unique brand of music knows what I'm talking about. Should've seen the faces on the Joe College crowd when this band of eccentrics took the stage and bombarded the arena with the Don's gravelly voice & harmonica , odd ball lyrics, maniacal slide guitar solos and their odd time signatures. One critic described it as "a truck rolling down the highway on four different shaped wheels". I just had to have their "Clear Spot" album, wrapped in clear vinyl. It's perhaps his most accessible L.P., moving from the sublimely soulful "My Head is My Only House Unless It Rains" & "Too Much Time" to the frantically psychotic " Big Eyed Beans From Venus". Great lyrical content too..." men let your wallets flop out, and women...open up your purses!" Or ..." Women like long neck bottles, and a big head on their beer." Like somebody posted once...if Carl Sagan had put Captain Beefheart on his Voyager record that sailed out into interstellar space...long after we are all gone as a species the alien race that spins that music would say " this guy was a head of his time". http://youtu.be/UB6N4y1ZB-Y

afx Posted April 12, 2020 Author Posted April 12, 2020 (edited) My son and I watched Once Upon a Time in the West last night and the Harmonica part was driving me crazy - what song did it remind me of? I think I figured it out!! Edited April 12, 2020 by afx
afx Posted April 12, 2020 Author Posted April 12, 2020 (edited) Like this song from the film as well. Edited April 12, 2020 by afx

The "Maestro" as he liked to be referred to as, was just about to do the sound track for a film my late brother in law was going to produce. That project fell through unfortunately, but Nick had meetings with Ennio and I got to hear some great stories about his experiences with one of my all time music heroes.
STYRENE-SURFER Posted April 21, 2020 Posted April 21, 2020 (edited) If you like Ennio check this out. John Zorn early work ... and yes, challenging yet worthwhile ? Edited April 21, 2020 by STYRENE-SURFER

I'm sure he did have some great stories. That reminded me of these episodes of Seinfeld. Edited April 21, 2020 by afx
STYRENE-SURFER Posted April 21, 2020 Posted April 21, 2020 Well, believe it or not. It's true. however most all of Nicks films were B movies.?
STYRENE-SURFER Posted April 21, 2020 Posted April 21, 2020 This special double CD box set with a "Spirou" theme is just wonderful if you can find it. The idea was to have musicians create tracks that coincide with Spirou adventures in comic books. Lots of varied stuff on this cinematic album. Unfortunately the only track found on you tube is also one of the hardest. Ha Ha... Blind Idiot God will melt a face, the rest of this album is not the same.

JC, if you have seen the movie "Mitchell" (best version being the ms3tk) , still makes me laugh! That is one my brother in law worked on as producer/executive producer. as a side note, I always hated that Seinfeld show. Those people would never be part of my realm.?
