That's a rubbish comparison.  They're nothing alike.

Not in every case though.

Then, of course, if you were to go to College together, it could also cause issues.


The college (Northwestern) is a great school and a great fit for the two of us. If I never even knew him I'd still be applying there.

Nonsense! They were separated at birth!

Peter could sing on Broadway quite easily though...

That maybe so, there's so much I am unsure of.

I'd still be cautious though.  It could potentially be a disaster.

Nothing, except that I dislike most broadway musicals (although I do think that my mom playing Les Miserables in the house when I was young may have caused my love for big and bombastic music.)  I can actually see where that connection would come from, because I always thought that Hammill's vocals were very theatrical as well.

If you want Broadway Prog (and I'm not keen on it myself) try Kew.Rhone.

It's not Broadway but sounds as if it should be. LOL

Former members of Henry Cow too... ouch.  Not really my thing.  It's too pretentious and Broadway-like for my tastes.

No.Shocked  Although I do know about that crappy live album by King Crimson.

Did you know that Earthbound is the Still Life of video games?

I want to do an Epignosis cover album some day.

Any suggestions of songs?

I would love to do "Miracles Out of Nowhere" with my wife singing Steve's part.

I'd also like to do an acoustic rendition of "Siberian Khatru."

Earthbound (from X My Heart)

My heart flew in my mouth
the moment that your eyes locked mine.
I blurted something out
along these lines:
we're earthbound
but we all long for flight...
         
My heart's worn on my sleeve:
I'd offer all I could contrive
if only you'd believe
you flood my mind.
We're earthbound
but you spring my heart alive.
         
My heart's stopped in its tracks -
what train of thought has just arrived
while gravity's cruel tax
drags me to ground?
We're earthbound
but you spring my heart to life.
We spin around,
we're earthbound
but you spring me free to flight.
         
Eathbound,
we're earthbound,
all earthbound...
but we all long for flight.
         
Heartbreak the anagram:
(But hero Dan had no brute boar hunted;
doubt he ran but heard no burned oath;
undo breath, do burn hate, be hard unto
burned oath, undo breath...)
         
Earthbound.


I've played Earthbound... it's good but not completely my thing.  I never did finish it though.

Mornin' Joel.

Man, this makes me think about those legends circulating that Andrew Lloyd Webber writing the main part from the Phantom of the Opera for Freddie Mercury. Ahhh... If only he had recorded that...

Do a cover of all of Not Available, Pawn Hearts, and Emerson, Lake & Palmer.

No, don't do a cover of Pawn Hearts.

Do a cover of a Bon Jovi song.

Interesting.  Yeah, Earthbound is my all-time favorite game, but you wouldn't like it unless you like Dragon Quest-style RPG's.
