Aural Moon Shows

He said something that made it sound like his father was famous or important in the music industry or something, and it made me wonder...who is Tom? Who is his father?

I've never heard his name anywhere except on the moon, so I don't have any idea who he is, but people seem to talk about him here like he's the reason prog exists. I feel like I'm missing some important piece of information.

[note: as I reread this, I feel that it would be easy to misread the tone of this message. I'm not being antagonistic. I'm just asking a question that I don't have the answer to.]


thanks,

Lamour, please visit his website, it has a section devoted to his father.

I don't think you're missing anything. I don't have that impression.

I Googled for about 15-20 mintues before I gave up. He has a website? I couldn't find anything with any information on it at all. Perhaps I just didn't use the right terms.

OK, I found a gagliarchives site that links to his father's website. He's a jazz guitarist in Philly and Tom's icon-ness is completely unrelated?

well...just looking at this thread (and the parent thread):

while I overstated it before for emphasis, this is still pretty high praise for someone I know nothing about. I was just curious who he is. I'm not saying that the praise is undeserved, just that I have no information to go on, that's all.

(because it's all about me) ;-)

lamour,

I sent you my email so we can take a discussion offline. In the meantime -

OK...I have to ask:

What does this mean?

"The new Home Edition of the Gagliarchives coming soon on Aural Moon "

What does Home Edition mean?

O.K., Im a grizzeled old Progger.
1) I need the Rickter Scale. The man has seen live, more bands then the moon could play in a Day. Im constantly Introduced to Whole CD's of New Artists with a chance to get the whole thing played. He knows more about the Modern Artists than Any Moonie Alive except the Boss. He also appreciates the Edges of prog. ( like T.Dolby or TF Fears) R&R is a must
2) Gags is a must, insitefull and Interviews with the Best Artists. He held the torch when most let it slip out of their Hands.
3) I like Cozy and Interzone, However Im really into the Fusion action not the pure jazz. His expertise of all "that Jazzy Crap" Is so good but I find that his Straight Jazz artists are not in the Moons Vein.
4) Sean has the world covered but sometimes its just to obsure, I have said before that just because its Prog doesnt make it automatically good. Many poor artists IMHO

5) This station NEEDS a New release Show! Period
6) Now to make Jim and Management Cringe, I would still Like a Classics show for an Hour or Two from recordings of the giants of '66 to 86'

And that's why there's more than one show on the Moon. I love Cozy's show. It's up to Jim if it fits his vision for the station, but it's certainly music to my ears. ;-)

(you didn't mention Moses' show, but my comments are the same for that)

4) Sean has the world covered but sometimes its just to obsure, I have said before that just because its Prog doesnt make it automatically good. Many poor artists IMHO

How on earth can you ever get too obscure for prog? Just because it's obscure doesn't mean it's bad. A lot of what I like to listen to sounds like noise to other people.* That's kinda why I'm here. Cutting a show from the Moon because it doesn't only play bands that sound like everyone else seems like a bad idea to me. I'd rather hear something that sounds like nothing I've ever heard before on the off chance that it's something I'll love than to hear more music by bands rehashing the same stuff over and over. I would think the whole point of shows is to introduce us to new things we probably wouldn't find otherwise.

* one time I had 3-4 browser tabs open on youtube videos and the browser crashed. when I started it back up it started playing all of them at the same time. I didn't realize what was happening at first, so I was trying to figure out what song was playing because it was so awesome I wanted to go buy it. ;-)

(it was 2 Naikaku songs, a Stanley Clarke song, and something else, I think. In case you care.)

6) Now to make Jim and Management Cringe, I would still Like a Classics show for an Hour or Two from recordings of the giants of '66 to 86'

wow, they win one silly football game and now the Giants get a radio show on the Moon? How crazy is that? ;-)


Whatever happens happens. As long as the music stays fresh, I'm happy.


imho,

I was Incorrect saying that Pure Jazz was not in the Moons Vein. Its not in my interest and I listen to the Moon for Proggy Things.
What is in the Moons Veins is whatever Jim Wants to Inject into it. Its his Arm

I have been Shouting with Sean And Cozy for years, talking about all these things. At night back on the Old Page sometimes with the 16 other listeners, it was just Me, Vax and the DJ's. They Know I love and Respect them.
As a differant type of Artist I just believe in Quality not Quantity. They know all the Jewels, sometimes its sounds like cut Glass to me.

Jim has asked for opinions of the shows
I do not enjoy the recordings of what IMHO sounds like noise to me, ex.GYBE.
Its here for anyone who enjoys it to RQ. .... Variety is what makes the world go round.
