I am not going to get into an argument with you. Given that somebody (by "hook, or by crook" under one of the artists page in question) added D'Virgilio, Morse & Jennings albums to the site, and somebody added Nick's albums to the site under a wholly inaccurate artist descriptor (as a duo with John Hackett), it would appear that I am not the only one who finds all this slightly bemusing. If you want me to answer any complaints directly (I am somewhat surprised that anybody rational would complain about these posts, but there we go), I am more than happy to do so. As for "bigging up" my own site, I can absolutely assure you that I do not need to do so. Getting rid of this thread would not make a blind bit of difference to the traffic I get. I update it here as a service for those who like what I write, and generally did so when I wrote reviews for PA. These people will visit my site whether I use PA, or not. I have expressed disdain for this site's workings for a long time, not just since setting up my own site, and I am not on my own, either. Your turn

I have had complaints about such comments. Honestly, it strikes me as poor etiquette to use this site to promote and big-up your own site while exhibiting disdain for this site's workings. Needing time to arrive at a decision can be for various reasons. It's harder when we have so many teams. there are going to be disagreements. You felt strongly that D'Virgilio, Morse & Jennings should be added, and yet to me and others it clearly lacked the progressive/Prog merits (the personnel being its only merit).

I will probably regret this, but what the divil is a “time” vote? Honestly, why would he need “time” to add him? It is such an absolute sure fire certainty for addition, it is embarrassing. This, of course, is why the finest review website this side of Honolulu was created! To escape such bloody nonsense

New album review on www.lazland.org and it is an album from a virtuoso not recognised here at PA as a solo artist, although I have initiated a process to hopefully get that changed, take a look at Nick Fletcher and his A Longing For Home. Sheer class.
As ever, pop along to my homepage and click on the relevant button.

^ Listened to this tonight and really enjoyed it. A good variety of music was featured, and I loved the light-hearted banter in between the various segments of the show. I had to laugh at the regular 'Walter Bit', which pays homage to our old PA troll WalterDigsTunes, who believed passionately that any music that came after 1988 (the year he was born) was a pile of crap, and he made sure that we were all well aware of his views lol!

Right 'oh, you lovely peoples, the Lazland on Progzilla Radio show broadcast this afternoon on the mighty Progzilla Radio went out on time, and was really rather spiffing.
It will be repeated on Progzilla at 02:00 a.m. UK time Friday, which is 21:00 EST, 18:00 wast Coast, and, I believe, 10:00 a.m. for my lovely loyal listeners in Hiroshima. The link is at https://progzilla.com/lazland-on-progzilla-radio-episode-3/ A wonderful way for you to spend two hours.

This partial retirement malarky is a strange thing. Less time working for Sir Keir, thankfully, but more time to do the important things, like writing and talking about class music.
Well, class music is certainly the subject of tonight's first review of the week. Ruby Dawn and their sophomore album, Blood on Water. Take yourselves over to https://lazland.org/album-reviews-2024-part-the-second/ruby-dawn-blood-on-water to read all about it!

The show will be repeated at 02:00 a.m. the following Friday (so 25th October) and will be available as a podcast shortly after broadcast on Saturday.

The last update of what has been an exceptionally creatively busy week at www.lazland.org closes with the publication at https://progzilla.com/marillion-a-life-part-two-fugazi/ of the second part of my podcast series, Marillion - A Life (the first part is also available on my podcast page).
It is now 1984. Fugazi has been released, and I discuss this album through the lens of my life. With studio & live tracks from Marillion, there is also music from Band Aid, Rush, and Arena.

That’s not a bad suggestion at all. The next in the series is The Division Bell, and after that I intend to do a couple of Genesis albums, certainly The Lamb, and then a Collins one to be decided. I may well decide to return to Mr Waters, because he is a fascinating subject for docs.

Hi, Steve. I don't mean to suggest that you remain in the Pink Floyd realm on retro reviews, but I would enjoy your fresh perspective on The Pros And Cons Of Hitchhiking. It's an album I've softened to over these many long years, much to my surprise.
