Mike Keneally Radio Interview

Been listening to some of these, and while not super great, it is good and lots of fun. Hearing the newer material is kinda nice, although I wish that it could be less about the "song", within a radio context, and more about the music itself.

Also, the only complaint I have, is that after listening to 4 shows (and it is a MINOR complaint!) it's almost all Anglo-Saxon, and this is not a good representation of "progressive music", specially when it happened all over the world, but we did not have ears for it because we were constipated with our own religion!

Guy Guden and his late "Space Pirate Radio" show, still is, by light years, the most progressive and original of all music shows!

Heard a few more shows, about 8 or 9 now, and all in all ... it's too much on the top ten oriented design with the same 4 or 5 bands having to be played ... as if our interest was indicated strictly by that work. 

All in all, not to be down on things, but too much King Crimson and Frank Zappa and Bent Knee (nice change at least!) and Muffins and Mike K and Gentle Giant, makes one want to hear something else ... instead of the same thing over and over again.

I always assimilate some kind of repetition, in this kind of context, as the very thing that hurt radio and progressive music in general. We need to get back to the "revolution", and not be afraid to play more independently minded stuff, and less of the kind of material that ... is the same thing over and over again. 

I appreciate FZ and KC as much as anyone (over 30 CD's of both for me!), but in the end, there is so much more music that is being ignored, and that is my only complaint. AND, it is a minor complaint! But, because our listening and appreciation is (sometimes) so limited, in the end, we lose the ability to appreciate and understand a lot of other material all around.
