I've had The Mountain Goats - Counterfeit Florida Plates stuck in my head since yesterday.

I've been trying to combat it with Eurovision music.... So far Satellite is working, but now I'm starting to wonder if having Lena as an earworm is worse than The Mountain Goats. ;V

As the mercury rapidly heads towards 42C I can't help be reminded of this classic from 1929...

The polar bears ain't green in Greenland
They got the right idea
They think it's great to refrigerate
While we all cremate down here

Flashback to October 20, 2001, 5 weeks after 9/11.  The Concert for New York City, Madison Square Garden.  Place is packed.

Billy Joel performing this live was one of the best performances I've ever seen.  (And it remains the single most expensive concert I've ever been at.)

Starting the morning with U2 - Beautiful Day sounds like a good idea. : D

*Fascinated by this instrument which seems to be a kind of hammered dulcimer* <3

Mélusine, I just happened to check out this thread for the first time and OMG. I've been a fan of the hammered dulcimer and the Koto, which is what I think the other instrument is, since I was a kid. The both of them together is amazing. Maybe it's a bass Koto or a variation on the theme. I'll be grabbing this one when I get home this evening.
Speaking of Kotos, I have some video on my camera of one being played and at one point the performers fingers are literally dancing on the strings. It's amazing to watch and listen to.

I've been listening to this a lot lately as background music while doing work - it's also always felt very SSSS in mood to me, something about it really pings me as a mournful Silent World tune.

Double H,
Well that was interesting. Progressive metal? Now there's a term I'm not familiar with.
Hmm, it's probably in the "I'm too old - it's too loud" category. But I just might buy it or one of their other CDs.
Actually in my youth, circa 1968, I did listen to the band that set the style for what was to become heavy metal. Whose name escapes me, that's what I get for being an old fart.
They recorded an album in one of New York's old dis used dock side warehouses. They put their huge stack of double Marshall's at one end and the microphones in the middle and just played.
I'll have to dig that one up. All my vinyl is in storage, it will be a bit of a chore, but now I'm curious to see how it compares. Hopefully my memory of the music isn't as bad of my memory of the bands name...

If that got you interested in some more progmetal I recommend you check out my favorite band: Haken



Is the band you were thinking of perhaps Black Sabbath? They are widely regarded as the first metal band. They formed in '68 and released their first album in '70 so maybe a bit later than you were talking about. They're also from the UK and not US.

Today's a good day for Santana. I was obsessed with the Supernatural album in high school... Primavera was my favourite. (Oh man, suddenly realizing I still know all the words....)

This needs no introduction, really, other than seeing it live on Broadway was even better.

Nope older than that, Blue Cheer, It took me till Sunday night to drag the name out the basement of my memory.  ;D They had a rather checkered on again off again career but impressive at points.
this was their big hit. These days it kinda looks like a bunch of teenagers trying to do metal. But hey it had to start somewhere.
I'll give Haken a listen
