New update on the PT twitter:
BBC story on a best drummer poll that had very little to do with talent and everything to do with fan power http://bbc.in/c0x91c |

Thanks for the birthday wishes everyone! I have already listened to some Porcupine Tree today, nice cheery birthday music it is, too! The Arriving Somewhere version of Don't Hate Me really put me in a birthday mood!

Awww, thanks Joel!
28 already? Ah well, I beat Cobain and Hendrix (both died at 27). Lol. You're never too old to rock!

i own like 5 or 6 lp records, because i keep the rule that i will always buy music on cd when possible. if there are some bonus music or vinyl only release i grab the vinyl. i have so far 2 bass communion records but nothing else from sw.
also i'm not too bothered that they didn't release the rah shows. i saw the incident live so i don't need it on cd or dvd. the real live experience is probably 10 times more powerful. of course, they could make a cd, but it would miss all the visual that is almost as important as the music (especially on the incident tour). if they would do a dvd it would take very much time and money to make a visual and sonical masterpiece as anesthetize. some artists choose to release live dvds almost every year or so, but they usually end up being not as good in sound quality and not even trying to be beautiful in picture. i'm just saying that i'd rather have good quality release with somewhat different versions of the songs on cd (we lost the skyline, coma divine), or then the complete package (anesthetize). of course you can't get this ever year but i don't need that. porcupine tree & sw have taken enough money from me already

My music library is bigger than my dads! But I am more of a music freak than he was in his youth, so... He does have a very nice stash of classic rock and prog LPs though. I want to buy them off him! He never uses them!

I really want to get Lightbulb Sun one, if only for the big art. The only other records I own are Kayo Dot's Blue Lambency Downward, Dowsing Anemone With Copper Tongue, and their split with Bloody Panda. My dad has about 2 or 3 hundred 70's prog LP's as well. |

^The only reason I haven't bought any of those Kscope PT vinyls yet is because I have no means to play them!

That'd be awesome, since they film so many shows, they should do something like a Marillion Live Archive (super nicely presented box set with 6 or so live albums from different eras)
Also, I too need a turntable, my dad got me the Up The Downstair/On The Sunday Of Life 2LP's for christmas last year, but all I've been able to do is look at them |

I sure hope so! Maybe in 2012? It is the band's 25th anniversary that year, after all!

Yeah, I thought I must have gone mad, when I started adding vinyls to my music collection recently! (I turn 28 tomorrow, and I barely remember vinyl when it was in vogue the first time around!) I need to get around to buying a turntable sometime!...
I got two copies of the Anesthetize DVD (grey edition, and the standard instore release, because I couldnt wait!) I might get my copy of Recordings in the post tomorrow. My own birthday present to me! Should be nice!

I'm just as insane - in addition to all the other SW and PT items I've bought over the past year, I just bought two copies of the Insurgentes DVD plus two tickets to the US premiere in NYC, which happens to be three days before we see PT live at Radio City Music Hall.
And you are definitely NOT insane for buying vinyls, even without a proper turntable - my greatest foolery was in allowing my former spouse to force me into giving away most of my father's collection, which consisted among other things of over 4,000 first press jazz 78s. At this point, my vinyl collection is much more modest, but I still have many (though not all) of my own early prog/British rock collection, as well as a couple of hundred quite diverse albums from jazz to classical, show tunes, folk, rock and comedy, inherited from both of my parents and given to me by friends. |

Awesome. I've been praying for a live Incident recording. Shame there won't be a DVD though. Seeing them perform The Incident in its entirety was one of my highlights of this year. I'd love to relive it on DVD.

Aaaaaaaaaand....
Almost every PT show is recorded for the the archive, so an audio live release might be possible. We have many Incident shows recorded. 5 minutes ago via TweetDeck http://twitter.com/PTOfficial Perhaps not such foolish optimism! |
