Will prog for food
Apr. 09, 2008 20:22
Between my rants about some of the band
selections for this year's prog festivals and the
damage being done to our favorite bands by music
pirates, there's some really excellent music to
be heard on tonight's show, so check it out (and
if you like what you hear...BUY THE CDS!
My next podcast will be #200, but I'm not exactly sure when it will be. On Tuesday the 15th, I'm having my 3rd back surgery (not counting numerous diagnostic and pain-relief procedures). Comedian Jerry Lewis actually had this same procedure done. The trial comes first, and it involves inserting two wire leads from an external control device into my back along the spinal column. The device sends electronic pulses through the wires which hopefully will interrupt the pain signals being sent to my brain. If it works and the trial is a success, I'll have another surgery and the system will be implanted internally and permanently, controlled by an external remote. It would also allow me to go off the morphine and other medications. I'm hoping to back on the air in two weeks, April 23. I'll be posting updates to the bulletin and blog on MySpace, so make sure you befriend "interstellarjoel". I'll also post to the Station Announcements forum of the ProgRock.com message board (ProgTalk Forum link on the homepage).
In case you missed what happened after last week's show (and why you can't get the podcast); the short story is that Rob Reed of Magenta kindly asked that we take it down. He was not comfortable with the entire album being contained within the contents of the show, so we of course complied with his request. For more on that, see my Blog entry at MySpace (and comments that follow). Thanks to all for supporting the artists and the show. One more request: if you love what we do, please send a little financial love to our gracious host ProgRock.com. We recently had to buy a new server, and we also have monthly streaming costs. Any little bit will help, and if everyone who listens sends just a little, it'll all add up to a lot (£1 = $2 these days). Just click the Donate (PayPal) button at the ProgRock.com homepage. My thanks in advanced for helping us do what we do. Here's tonight's playlist:
Magenta - Metamorphosis
Abel Ganz - The Dead Zone
Pallas - The Cross And The Crucible
Phideaux - Microdeath Softstar
Simon Says - Brother Where You Bound?
Moongarden - Dreamlord
Panic Room - Moon On The Water
Airbag - Steal My Soul
Moon Safari - Other Half Of The Sky
Rocket Scientists with Lana Lane - Avalon
