William Smead submits: The current circumstances in the U.S. stock market remind me of one of my favorite bands from college, Supertramp, and their song “Nothing But a Dreamer”. It appears that individual investors and many of the financial advisors that take care of them “have their head in their hands, oh no!” This was pointed out to us in one of Mark Hulbert’s columns...

It's rare that an album of outtakes and rejected music not only succeeds, but actually hangs together as a cohesive work in its own right. As the only member of 21st Century Schizoid Band (performing late-1960s/early-1970s-era Crimson repertoire) who wasn't a King Crimson alum, Jakko M. Jakszyk not only handled the daunting challenge of Crimson co-founder {{Robert Fripp = 16099}}'s guitar parts, but...

A couple of months ago two new documentaries exploring the Canadian music scene in the '70s and '80s were shown on the CBC over a series of 4 weeks . The documentaries were titled This Beat Goes On and Rise Up respectively. Rush along with several other Canadian artists were featured and the documentaries included new interview segments with Geddy Lee. Reader RushFanForever gave some great reports...

I’ve been an on and off fan of David Sylvian for the past 20 years or so and it now seems that he has a new album out - Manofon, not that you’d notice as it doesn’t seem to be advertised (or played) anywhere and only made it onto his website a month after its release. This still is from a video of one of the tracks, Small Metal Gods - play it and try to count the tiny, spooky planes;...

Warning: If you don't like whimsical whimsicalness ...don't read this. I haven't done one of these for a while but I spent a pleasurable few hours yesterday re-visiting some old Supertramp albums. The reason? Well, I heard 'School', the opening track to Supertramp's classic 1974 album on the radio and it instantly transported me back in time to Droof Days. I'm pretty certain I first heard this album...

In yet another show of just how out of touch they are with the modern youth, MTV has shown how the Grammys will NOT nominate Lady Gaga for Best New Artist. I mean, she all ready won the VMA award for the same, because as MTV says - Few new artists in recent years have made [...]

November 18, 1984, is a Sunday. By Congressional resolution, it’s the first day of National Family Week. The New York Times publishes several articles about Baby Fae, the anonymous child who died last Thursday after living 20 days with the transplanted heart of a baboon. The Talisman by Stephen King and Peter Straub tops the [...]

Bob Burnett: Penguin Cafe Orchestra, Tin Hat Trio, Young Marble Giants. A diverse set of musical styles that bring to mind eccentric, spare, haunting music. I'm adding The Big Eyes Family's Do the Musicking to that wide ranging group of oh so masterful artists. Do the Musicking is a series of short cuts--mostly 2 minutes or so in length-- that form a 29 track-72 minute compilation. There's a yard sale...

Yesterday I stumbled upon a rather good BBC Four documentary about British progressive rock on Vimeo. Watch or grab it before it's gone. Aside from the groups most everyone knows (or maybe dreads by reputation) - Yes, King Crimson, Jethro Tull, Genesis, ELP - other lesser-known bands get much more than a nod as well, including two of my favorites, Soft Machine and egg (bonus music geek points for...

To-Mera are certainly an anomaly in metal music: one of the few progressive metal bands with a female singer that I am aware of even existing. Julie Kiss has a vocal style which recalls Anneke (formerly of The Gathering ). She uses a lot of emotion and inflection within her voice, instantly separating her from a lot of the talentless gothic metal band fronting hacks. To date, the band has released...
