That's a pretty good one, despite my well-advertised non-love of krautrock.

Almost 10 AM here, correct, but I think Detroit is still in the same time zone.

Nope. It is 9:53 AM here too, so I have no excuses either. I woke up quite a bit last night which is unusual for me. I usually sleep pretty soundly.

I probably won't have a chance to listen to any of these until I upload them to my iPod which I usually only do after I finish listening to everything that I uploaded the previous time.
I'm currently listening to CD 3 from the Phish Live at Madison Square Gardens on New Years Eve 1995. I started the album yesteday but only made it through the first 2 CDs before I had to run.

Music has always been a matter of energy to me. On some nights I believe that a car with the needle on empty can run 50 more miles if you have the right music very loud on the radio. Hunter S Thompson

I rated it 8.5 out of 10 on progfreak. I haven't rated it here on PA yet. That would require sitting down and writing a review. I've only written two of those in the last 5 months, so I haven't been very active on that end. I do have two reviews that I am supposed to write for artists that supplied albums asking for reviews. I haven't done those yet either.

That's too bad, he was a nice guy to have around.

Scott, why did H.T. decide to stop coming here?

I wish I were a Peter Hammill/VDGG fan. Oct 9 The Magic Bag, Ferndale, MI (last played michigan in '79)
I bet that seeing Peter Hammill at The Magic Bag would be pretty cool indeed. This is where I saw Discipline and Tiles play in March. I bet that Matthew Parmenter would be in attendance for this one. I wonder if H.T. is going to this one, I seem to remember him telling me that he was a big VDGG fan.

Yes, you share the kind of frustration I do, about the number of Prog Metal bands whose 'European' tour seams to stop at the Netherlands, and is too timid to venture over the channel... 
I PM'd a certain Dutch correspondant of ours to advise him that Prisma and Indukti were playing 10 miles down the road from him one evening next month, and he said he'd see if he'd got anything else on... 
why can't they play Hereford???....

The next big concert is The Who, in 3 weeks. I never had the chance to see them in their hey day, but I did see them a few years ago when they were touring and had Robert Plant opening for them. That was a very enjoyable show.
My next concerts are:
The Reasoning: Oct 18th, Pendragon: Nov 2nd and Marillion: Nov 19th....
I am off to participate in a Michigan fall tradition: visiting the cider mill. Time to eat some fresh baked donuts and freshly made apple cider. Fattening as all get out, but mmm-mmm good stuff.
That could be Herefordshire, where I live...

I've only heard a couple of songs from The Reasoning, but I liked what I heard. I think that there was a thread quite awhile back comparing The Reasoning with Pure Reason Revolution. I really like The Dark Third from PRR, so I checked out the MySpace songs from The Reasoning. I definitely would love a chance to see Pendragon and Marillion but that's probably never going to happen.

No problems at all with Niacin from my end. A good, lively instrumental band. Billy Sheehan is an excellent bass player, and of course the B3 Hammond Organ is always welcome in the Shred Room.

About 30 minutes.
...it depends on your definition of "case" and "beer", but £11 for 20 cans of Bud...
