Yeah, let’s talk today about Premiata Forneria Marconi, specifically their album Per Un Amico. It’s a rare bag of Italian prog brilliance.

Aphrodite’s Child. Heh, where am I going to start with this?
A 60s/70s band from Greece with Vangelis and Greek crooner Demis Roussos among the members. Released three albums of which I have the third and final: 666 (The Apocalypse of John, 13/18).

On Friday 13th May, I’ll be mixing it up with my fellow Prog Crusaders, capes a-flowing for Progressive Rock masters Pallas. So, I thought I’d bang on for the next 13 days about all the things I like about the genre. Talk about defending the indefensible… Although I’ll enthuse about the mighty Pallas one of these next days, today I’ll have to start with my first true love of Prog: Yes! (The exclamation mark is optional…)

I’ve been trawling the internet this afternoon looking at who is running locally in the elections this week (may 5th for those who have forgotten).
Normally I’m none to bothered about politics. i don’t like it, I don’t trust it so i tend to stay away from political discussions. Most of it involves bad rhetoric, time that can be spent doing something more worthwhile, like scratching my bum.

I’ve become a big fan of Pallas. Neil Psychochicken, Bruce Sphenodon and I went to see them a few months ago at The Ferry in Glasgow. We wore gold capes. Eventually, so did the band. The gods of prog were pleased…

In an effort to balance my last doom and gloom post, here’s a list of things I’d like to spend my time on as baby and wife allow.

‘This is the good shit’

Mastodon was recommended to me by Ruthy and, after constantly calling them Megalodon by accident, I found Crack The Skye in Fopp on Union Street for the sum of one crisp ten pound note. After bringing it back to the Oasis Of Zin, or the study, I have to say that I’m particularly taken by it.

Richard Wright, keyboardist of Pink Floyd, has passed away.
And as I settle down to a few hours of writing it’s only fitting that Dark Side Of The Moon gets played.

Always taking the point with the dawn patrol fraternity.”
