BTW: Lea an Jullianne were from the good side too, Carol lived on the good side for a while. I was on the good side until they chased me out and beer always tasted better when you drank it on the good side.

The Alan Parsons Project - I Robot [Full Post]


The Alan Parsons Project - I Robot
 The Alan Parsons Project was a British progressive rock band, active between 1975 and 1990, consisting of Eric Woolfson and Alan Parsons surrounded by a varying number of session musicians.
Behind the revolving lineup and the regular sidemen, the true core of the Project was the duo of Parsons and Woolfson. Woolfson was a lawyer by profession, but also a composer and pianist. Parsons was a successful producer and accomplished engineer. Almost all songs on the band's albums are credited to "Woolfson/Parsons".

That was from Wiki's page [here]

They and it seems everyone lists the Album I Robot as being released in 1977. I know damn well that my copy was from mid summer 1975.

I had been hit by a car in the last week of April of that year hitchhiking down in Florida and it crushed my leg, leaving me in a full cast, also leaving me trapped and forced to go home.

That was an awesome year for me, but sometimes it was frustrating and overwhelming. I heard this album and at first thought "Well this has gotta suck!", but as I listened more to it I began to relate with the breakdown, losing my thread, no-one understands the words that I say and then the best part.. "I don't care what you do, I wouldn't want to be like you". Now this album had become an icon for me. It was my own freakin revolution and I loved it and I still didn't want to talk to you...

I honestly feel that this album is timeless. It will always have a message for those trapped in frustration along down the road and that it belongs up there on the top shelf along with all the other greatest works in the art archives labeled "Finest Music"

I usually post these little players with the settings of 325 X 20 pixels, because it just looks cleaner that way to me, the 20 pixels is roughly the space required to show only the top edging border and the lower tool bar section. In between though there is the area I almost never show and in that field there is a visualization that's actually pretty good. It goes with the music and it's got a few transitions, but mostly it's similar to Andy O'Meara's early version of G-Force, [download the newest trial version here] Anyway, I sized these 325 X 325 to allow for the effects.

Sista Lea, yer gonna love this one too...

Them, Featuring Van Morrison.

Them: 1964–66

The roots of Them, the band that first broke Morrison on the international scene, came in April 1964 when Morrison responded to an advert for musicians to play at a new R&B club at the Maritime Hotel – an old dance hall frequented by sailors. The new R&B club needed a band for its opening night; however, Morrison had left the Golden Eagles (the group with which he had been performing at the time), so he created a new band out of The Gamblers, an East Belfast group formed by Ronnie Millings, Billy Harrison, and Alan Henderson in 1962. Eric Wrixon, still a schoolboy, was the piano player and keyboardist. Morrison played saxophone and harmonica and shared vocals with Billy Harrison. They followed Eric Wrixon's suggestion for a new name, and The Gamblers morphed into Them, their name taken from the Fifties horror movie Them!.

The band's strong R&B performances at the Maritime attracted attention. Them performed without a routine and Morrison ad libbed, creating his songs live as he performed. While the band did covers, they also played some of Morrison's early songs, such as "Could You Would You", which he had written in Camden Town while touring with The Manhattan Showband. The debut of Morrison's "Gloria" took place on stage here. Sometimes, depending on his mood, the song could last up to twenty minutes. Morrison has stated that "Them lived and died on the stage at the Maritime Hotel," believing that the band did not manage to capture the spontaneity and energy of their live performances on their records. The statement also reflected the instability of the Them lineup, with numerous members passing through the ranks after the definitive Maritime period. Morrison and Henderson would remain the only constants, and a highly unsuccessful version of Them even soldiered on after Morrison's departure.


Dick Rowe of Decca Records became aware of the band's performances, and signed Them to a standard two-year contract. In that period, they released two albums and ten singles, with two more singles released after Morrison departed the band. They had three chart hits, "Baby, Please Don't Go" (1964), "Here Comes the Night" (1965), and "Mystic Eyes" (1965), though it was the b-side of "Baby, Please Don't Go", the garage band classic, "Gloria", that went on to become a rock standard covered by Patti Smith, The Doors, Shadows of Knight, Jimi Hendrix and others.

Building on the success of their singles in the United States, and riding on the back of the British Invasion, Them undertook a two month tour of America in May and June 1966 that included a residency from 30 May to 18 June at the Whisky a Go Go in Los Angeles. The Doors were the supporting act on the last week,and Morrison's influence on The Doors singer, Jim Morrison, was noted by John Densmore in his book Riders On The Storm. Brian Hinton relates how "Jim Morrison learned quickly from his near namesake's stagecraft, his apparent recklessness, his air of subdued menace, the way he would improvise poetry to a rock beat, even his habit of crouching down by the bass drum during instrumental breaks." On the final night, the two Morrisons and the two bands jammed together on "Gloria".

Toward the end of the tour the band members became involved in a dispute with their manager, Decca Records' Phil Solomon, over the revenues paid to the band; that, coupled with the expiry of their work visas, meant the band returned from America dejected. After two more concerts in Ireland, Them split up. Morrison concentrated on writing some of the songs that would appear on Astral Weeks, while the remnants of the band reformed in 1967 and relocated in America.

[Movie) Collapse by Michael C. Puppert

I had just watched Collapse on Netflix and was amazed at the amount of information contained in it. Michael C. Puppert is a very intelligent and straight forward speaking with an almost flawless ability to  share information in a way that's easy to understand and follow, without overloading it with all the hyped up drama that so many others resort to to mask over the holes and blanks and still keep your attention focused on them. 


I can't keep talking on and on about the subject because the film covers it all anyway. I will though tell you that I ran a Google Video Search on the film after watching it because I wanted an offline copy for my collection. from there I found it hosted on Disclose.TV on this page, then from there I copied the embed codes for the following two parts. After snagging them I went further and searched for more information on Michael C. Ruppert and found his site called "Collapse Network - A Voice For The Future". 


I think you're gonna like the film, so enjoy...

Foo Fighters [Random Files] @ 128 kbps post:

Hello,
These are not my files, not my uploads and I'm notsure how long the links will remain active for them.


I could post a viewer and all the extra work of writing each link both ways, one as a download link and the other as a playable file within the viewer but considering the fact that these might not work for long I'm just posting the links with these.


If you'd rather test any file first then the easy way would be to right click on the link and select "Open in a new tab" or "open in a new window". With most Windows based operating systems it will open up as a QuickTime object and stream through it using those plugins. As usual you right-click and select "Save As" to save the file to your computer.


All of these (or the ones I checked anyway) are "only" 128 kbps. That's not bad but I prefer a better file myself. I think that the reduction in bit-rate is accomplished by squeezing out some of what they consider to be inaudible sound and as they say "empty space" in the music. I don't look at it that way or hear it that way. To me it would be like a fireworks show with the smoke trails removed along with the reflective light in the background. Point is I like those traces of sound in my music.


Here are the files...
