  1. This is like a Greek tragedy where the choir comments on the actions of the actors... "You must be joking..."
  2. Zappa February 1976 Niedersachsenhalle, Hannover, Germany
  3. One of my favorite Bowie songs. This one was Lulu's biggest commercial success. Bowie plays sax. Nirvana's version... Finally, Bowie himself on SNL... In the SNL clip, one of the backup singers/performers was Klaus Nomi (the guy in black with the receding hairline). Here he is featured performer...
  4. Sushi and the Banshees
  5. Bangles and Mash Blue Oysters Rockefeller Sour Cream CinnAmon Düül II (Amon Düül II was one of the first German "krautrock" bands) Big Mac Country (Big Country was a Scottish rock band) Kristin Hershey Chocolate Veruca Salt-crusted Snapper Lobster ThermiDoors
  6. Another early mashup. The Nice (Keith Emerson's band before ELP) fuses a Bob Dylan song with Bach's Brandenburg Concerto No. 6. Pure genius.
  7. Most of Umphrey's McGee's original songs did not leave a lasting impression for me. However, I like their mashups. The one you selected is one of their best. My personal favorite... However, the idea of "mashups" is not really novel. One of the first attempts in rock was "Apache Dropout" by the Edgar Broughton Band; they fused Captain Beefheart's "Dropout Boogie" with the Shadows' "Apache".
  8. I am very much looking forward to the new album. While the "first album in 12 years" might help sales, some solo albums released by Steve Wilson in the meantime sound very much like Porcupine Tree, especially The Raven That Refused To Sing (2013) and Hand. Cannot. Erase (2015). IMHO, his later solo efforts (To The Bone, The Future Bites) were OK, but not quite as interesting as PT or earlier solo SW albums. My all-time PT favorite: Fear of a Blank Planet
  9. If you like jugglers as element of a live performance, here is a excerpt of a Grateful Dead concert in Essen, Germany, organized and recorded by German TV (Rockpalast). During a break for the band, they had the juggling troupe "The Bothers Karamazov" on stage (starting around 45:00). Even more remarkable about this concert, after the juggling and drum break, they had a very famous guest guitarist on stage (starting around 56:15).
  10. One of the first female rock 'n' roll guitar players, Sister Rosetta Tharpe... Here is a collection of some of her guitar solos...
  11. All the veterans' quotes the OP provided regarding Josh Allen were also made in public. How do you know what the veterans thought about Allen in private or in the locker room?
  12. For the most part, it just seems to be selective memory. You remember the correct predictions and overlook the ones that went wrong. Just one example: Josh Rosen's 2018 Arizona teammates glowing praise of Josh Rosen. https://www.espn.com/blog/arizona-cardinals/post/_/id/30766/josh-rosen-a-favorite-among-teammates-who-say-hes-not-weird
  13. That is a very impressive video. Thanks for sharing.
  14. The Brian Jonestown Massacre - the only band I know which employs a full-time tambourine player (although in this clip Joel Gijon has a few spoken words)
  15. Gentle Giant had a unique mix of progressive/folk/baroque elements. I saw them once in concert, and I was baffled to see how many different types of instrument each band member would play. Here they get out the recorders in the last three minutes... And then they add the strings...
  16. A folk/rock/indie band from Iceland (total population 370,000). Of Monsters And Men bear similarities to the most famous Icelandic band, the Sugarcubes. Front woman Nanna Bryndis even looks like Bjork's younger sister...
  17. Footage of live performances by Captain Beefheart & the Magic Band is rare. Here is a longer clip from German public TV.
  18. I love British sitcoms. My favorite three characters Basil Fawlty (Fawlty Towers) Edina Monsoon (Ab Fab) Arnold Rimmer (Red Dwarf) On the American side Colonel Potter (M*A*S*H) Lois Wilkerson (Malcolm in the Middle)
  19. This title of this song is often (incorrectly) given as "What's Going On", because that are the actual lyrics. This reminds me of other, IMHO better songs with that title. Of course, there is Marvin Gaye, but that is not my kind of music. However, I have to offer: The Taste w/ Rory Gallagher and Hüsker Dü (sorry, no video)
  20. Do you think that there is an equivalent of the OP on a Chief's web site complaining that they are in a disadvantage because the Bills played one fewer of their "regular" games?
  21. One thing Short and Allen (and Trudeau) are missing is Osteen's halo-like hairstyle. I do not think that this is unintentional.
