Two years after starting this stupid project I’m finally finished.
So here is number one. A band most of the world never heard of, let alone remembers from the 90’s.
Proto post rock / metal. Grunge, alt rock, shoegaze and a dash of doom jazz.
This is the good stuff.3 users thanked author for this post.

I forgot to post this, earlier in the year I was at Combichrist (they’re regulars to Ireland, this was maybe by 5th or 6th time seeing them), but the main support act was Extize, who I like a lot, it was their first time here and I was more excited to see them. And they did a tour video with a ton of footage and as I was up at the front, I was all over the clips they used from Dublin. They didn’t use any of the point where Rafa, the singer handed me a cowbell to play during the song “Guns, Gasoline and Cowbell” though.

Thank you for your efforts, Uncle. You introduced me to a lot of music I might never have tried otherwise.
My only criticism is that there wasn’t a single Taylor Swift album in the bunch. Not one!!

Last night, Christel and I saw Herb Alpert and the Tijuana Brass.
We had a great time and really enjoyed the show. Herb is almost 91 and he’s still got it.

Metallica Announces Eight-Show Sphere Residency: “It’s Completely Uncharted Territory” – Hollywood Reporter
The legendary band will become the first metal act to play the high-tech venue since the Sphere opened in 2023.
The rock icons will play eight shows at the venue on October 1 and October 3, October 15 and October 17, October 22 and October 24. Tickets will go on sale on March 6 at 10 a.m. PST.
“About 12 seconds into the opening night of Sphere with U2 back in ‘23, I thought ‘We have to do this, it’s completely uncharted territory,’” Metallica drummer Lars Ulrich said in a statement. “This residency gives us another chance to reinvent how we interact with our fans in a live setting. We are beyond excited to share this with the world in six months time, and way fuckin’ psyched to go next level!”

I went to YouTube and got a pleasant surprise: YouTube has both seasons of Rock School from the early 80s. It was an educational show about music (lead and bass guitar, drums, keyboards) that played originally on the BBC and when PBS aired it in the States, they put in Herbie Hancock as host with brief introductions.
(There were two small segments that were cut because of copyright laws)
Each episode described the different styles and techniques on playing rock, heavy metal, reggae, r&b,funk, synth…
Bought back some nice memories.

Wow.
The groups En Vogue, TLC, and Salt n Pepper announced a revival/nostalgia tour, but then news came out that TLC member (Chilli) donated to the MAGA presidential campaign and posted about Michelle Obama.
And I know about her battle with sickle cell anemia. She practically took action for the research to be defunded. She is another voter who doesn’t see the larger picture, how interconnected things are

I remember years ago when “dot com” web sites were coming out, celebs got the rights to their names so that no one else can hijack their names.
Now Taylor Swift is doing it regarding AI:

Expect everyone else to follow suit.

I heard the actor who played Lord Ichimonji in Ran had died recently. He played an older character in a movie in the 80s so I would have assumed he died long ago. I rewatched it and was again blown away. The soundtrack is probably the best soundtrack ever made.
