Post a youtube clip of one song per post...

^ It's fun.

EDIT: Due to my out of PA rule on page one, will change the embed from Swans. Often I don't separate Prog and non-prog music in my head, and a lot of what I like outside of PA is kind of in prog related universe to me (a lot is psychedelic or spacey, art music if not art rock, progressive if not progressive rock, experimental...

Here's some 90s pop I love

Mono - Disney Town

^^ Haha, I have mentioned being forgetful (set it up as avoiding music in PA as I was concerned about this becoming too much about the usual suspects and thought it would be nice for us to listen to each other’s music that we might not regularly hear. I’m even more forgetful these days due to circumstances (damaged carotid artery and trying to set things up for my mother who had a recent stroke which caused aphasia. — lots to do as my wife and I are powers of attorney). I really don’t mind if people do break those rules as I don’t think it’s as much of a communal listening and commenting on the music coming from each other thing as I thought it might turn into. But yeah, I still do like the focus as non PA music. No biggie if others slip in, especially if it’s not the kind of songs music that regularly get posted and talked about often my many. It’s nice too for me to know more about what people like outside of PA, and it might expand my music parameters through exposure,

Some noisy Qujaku.



The band quite reminds me of Boris, Swans and Can.

The first track off Portishead’s Third, called Silence. I love this.



From reading a review of the album, it seems I might be part of the hipster intelligentsia. ;)

Thanks Ronstein. I love The Unthanks and I love that. Their version of Mount the Air is one of my particular favourites, although I had not heard that live performance. I knew their version from their studio album of the same name. It’s so wonderful. I first got to know them with their covers of Robert Wyatt, starting with Sea Song, which I found quite sublime renditions. I first heard this Union Chapel live version.



And since you mention it, I want to see the new version of Worzel Gummidge.

So I have heard, and the soundtrack is wonderful. I believe that it’s on Britbox, and so would be a good reason to subscribe for a while. I might, however, wait for the next series of Inside No. 9 before I do that. I heard about this adaptation from a British Doctor Who podcast. The Third Doctor, Jon Pertwee, starred in the late 70s/ early 80s television version.

Incidentally, this is the version of “Mount the Air” that I fell in love with. I find it so very wonderful, magnificent.

Then, of course, there's this stunning rework of a prog classic!

I've been most into Portishead of late (before that it was Swans...) I listened to a live concert earlier, played Third -- The Portishead, not the Soft Machine album -- yesterday, and now I've just listened through Beth Gibbons & Rustin Man's 2002 album, Out of Season. Beth Gibbons has been with Portishead and Rustin Man (Paul Webb) of Talk Talk and O'Rang, which Beth Gibbons guested on for Herd of Instinct (an album I like very much) -- she had applied to be the singer apparently, but Portishead became huge.

I just listened to Out of Season, and really loved this folk and jazzy at times album. Here's a longer track from it, which I can relate to in my own titular way, because this is proving to be a funny time of year for me.
