If you want to hear them in a more "prog" state, try "She Flies on Strange Wings".... ...or "Vanilla Queen" |

Apart from the ones we saved from a miserable life, our "pets" always have been the ones that picked us too. |

We have another cat and she has had a hard time adjusting at first, but I've heard the two of them talking to each other one night (meowing, of course) and after that happened, she's become a lot happier and less mope-y. She was his pet, but now she is constantly in my lap. As far as another cat, that will probably happen I imagine, I know it won't replace him, but I want the cat to pick us like what happened with MC.

I just had a listen to Twilight Zone. I don't think I have heard it before, but I am not sure. Solid rock song.

That is another lesson he has taught me in the last few weeks. My thoughts about the "unexplained" have been made much clearer from this experience. His true spirit is in happiness, nature and love, not sorrow.

One final thing to add: One of my best friends lost her cat some years ago, adopted a new one and believes that SHE (her cat that passed away) sent the new one to her. I believe, if you "feel like" having another companion, that "means" that MaCavity would want that too.

^ Mike, we now have a baby cat too, born 2 days ago. So we have 5 cats in total. I hope that baby will have a long and happy life, like your MaC. We'll sure always love him. I fully understand your feelings, and the feeling (which probably has truth in it) that his spirit is watching over you. I really understand. I hope this much sentimentality is not bad for your special day.
With love and hugs. Edited by Shadowyzard - April 22 2021 at 11:58 |

Thank you so much for saying that about MaCavity. It's been a tough one for me since we were so connected. They say that you can have a pet that can also be a soul-mate and that best describes it. But I still see his spirit in so many different things, especially in the nature that he loved so much. He's always sending me and my wife signs that he is still there. The first day we brought him home, he was so small he fit in the palm of my hand and fell asleep there. We were there when he passed, this time with his beautiful face in laying in the palm of my hand and with love in his eyes. He has made many journeys together with us, but now he has to go on ahead. I'll love that cat forever!

First thoughts with an addition from George and all of Page 2:
George: Pearl Jam “Dance of the Clairvoyants”
Of course I know of the band (and we carried them on our buses all
through the ‘90’s), but haven’t heard much since except for some very fine
Eddie Vedder acoustic tunes here and there.
Begins with percussion and bass setting the pace. Eddie Vedder has a very emotive voice, and a
riveting stage presence. As with many
Pearl Jam songs there is a feeling of despair expressed with intensity. In a very different way than the Bobby Plant
tune, this would be a contender for me.
suitkees: Golden
Earring “Flowers in the Mud” Very long
career for this band, assuredly. Basic
rock kind of sound here with a strident vocal and a very excellent guitar solo,
imo, in the first third. Vocalist
reminds me vaguely of Stan Ridgway of Wall of Voodoo, but without the vibrato
that was pretty trademark of Stan. The song ends nicely with some quiet solo
guitar. Nits “The Electric Pond”
This song is much more ethereal, with an echo-y piano, wispy vocal and
some soft organ and other sorts of orchestral notes. There is a sense of foreboding to the piece,
with some spacy washes and odd sounds with subdued drums and glisses on, I
think, the piano. Goes out the way it
came in, haunting piano notes. Very
intriguing piece to my ear.
Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark “Ghost Star” In the US, this was a big KROQ 80’s radio
band, will be interested to hear this later piece. Sad, wistful lyrics sung in a clear, soft
voice with electronic key sounds underneath.
The pace picks up a bit and keys come more to the fore, with synth drums
a bit more forward, as well. More
passion in the 3rd verse’s vocals.
The message to someone lost to the song’s lyricist continues and the
song comes to an end. Raff: Blue
Oyster Cult “The Alchemist” This one I know. Here is truly solid hard prog rock coming in
from the get-go with great guitar hooks and keyboard embellishments and a
story-telling song of an ancient alchemist with great powers over king and
country. Guitar pyrotechnics halfway
through. Cute ending to the video. 😊 Logan: David
Bowie “Girl Loves Me” Not quite sure
what to call this piece, it certainly has it’s very own sound and Bowie’s
distinctive voice, which he plays with quite a lot. Kind of a slow-moving observation with
wavy-keys and some almost sort of nonsense words (may be slang, too, I can
figure some of it out, but not some other parts of it). He puts me in mind of Peter Gabriel in his
vocal effects, similar to |

Am I 20 then? Anyway as Jonathan Swift said: "No wise man ever wished to be younger." Happy birthday. I'm certain that your dear Macavity passed to the peaceful realm in total serenity, with the long established and ultimate conviction that he left behind (only physically) an excellent companion who will always remember him and love him dearly. May his spirit always cherish you! Edited by Shadowyzard - April 22 2021 at 10:49 |

First of all: Happy Birthday! Secondly thanks for your comments. Yes most of GE albums are not that interesting, apart from one or two songs. Their last one is a decent rocking album with a very consistent quality throughout. Glad you also liked Nits and OMD. Nits are a bit mellower than before but keep their signature sound and songwriting quality. OMD are just very good in being OMD... |
