Fifty-two years after its original release, this song feels timelier than ever to me:

The Band, "The Rumor"

Very good album, arguably their last fully satisfying one.

Some choice songs from the post-Rumours albums:

"Sara," and "Over and Over," from Tusk:

"Gypsy" and "Love in Store," from Mirage:

Blame Sally's countrified pop of 2009: Night of 1,000 Stars. Hardly a bum song in the lot. Wikipedia says they're still active. I wish they'd put out something new again.

(You Rumours fans might enjoy "Hurricane" and "Constance, No More.")

RIP Vangelis

I've never gotten tired of the theme to Chariots of Fire, no matter how many times I've heard it. I think it's transcendentally beautiful.

https://youtu.be/CSav51fVlKU

Slightly more obscure, to people on this side of the Atlantic at least, a collaboration with Jon Anderson of Yes, "I'll Find My Way Home."

I've been really into the 2021 Dune movie and have been into the Hans Zimmer soundtrack lately. He also has two accompanying works that augment the main movie score.

Good music, bad movie. In my opinion.

I have loved that theme since the first time I heard it. Absolutely beautiful.

Oh, I had forgotten this one! "Somehow we're going somewhere". Very 80s in the combination of Vangelis music and the vocals.

Not as memorable but still having the same feel.

I looked him up on Wikipedia and when it mentioned his later albums inspired by and in collaboration with NASA and ESA missions Rosetta and Juno I immediately recognised having heard his music in some of those organisations documentaries. Thanks for highlighting him Ann.

So we saw Tears for Fears live on Sunday at MPP - perfect weather, too - and they were really, really good. Curt was a bit pitchy most of the night, but I was impressed with Roland still being able to bring the goods vocally. And the band was really tight. Recommend the show if you can see it this summer.

The above post was made by me in 2012. Now I'm rediscovering the Byrds yet again, prompted by my recent learning of the death of Byrds expert Johnny Rogan, which actually happened in January 2021 but passed me by at the time. He also wrote books about Ray Davies, John Lennon, Van Morrison, Neil Young, and...um...The Vegetarian of Hate, the last of whom I'm ashamed to say I was once a fan of.

Anyhow, the Byrds still sound both time-locked and timeless, which is what I find most fascinating about them.

And finally, I hope this post brings back Legion World's greatest Byrds fan: Outdoor Miner.

I am currently listening to every song that was on the pop charts from 1958 - 1999. It's different. I like it. I wrote a computer program that makes the playlist for me. My kids think I'm weird.

Genesis, in honor of Eryk Davis Ester's return to active posting. Welcome back, EDE!

Today, I've spun "...and then there were three..." and "Wind & Wuthering." Next, probably "Duke" (my personal favorite of the Collins Era) and "Shapes" (aka the self-titled one.)

EDE's back? No wonder my router died, and the telecoms guy spent time wondering what was going on at the exchange box.

I was listening to some David Byrne / Brian Eno stuff the other day. My football club has a new manager by the name of Mr Jones, which got me listening to Talking Heads.
