Am I right to guess that we'll be seeing more and more Popol Vuh in the future, Jim?

I certainly hope so. I kinda like what I've heard so far...

I didn't realize Grace Under Pressure WASN'T in the library! Now if we can just convince him to add Presto and Counterparts...

I'm sure that donations of Presto and Counterparts would be gratefully accepted...

Love that line dot, can I use that also?

You (and everyone else, for that matter) are welcome to use use any of my stuff. Just give credit where appropriate (IE don't go spreading around that it was from me, but if a compliment comes along out of it, let them know you'll let the originator know...that sort of thing)

Drat. And that's but a 12 hour drive from here. Ah well, maybe NEXT bachelor party...

A day late and a dollar short, as usual. This should have been uploaded yesterday, but I got busy, and other things happened, and, aw shoot, pick an excuse.

Here they are!

• California Guitar Trio - Whitewater
• The Flower Kings - Adam & Eve
• Focus - Jan Akkerman & Thijs Van Leer
• The Gak Omek - Alien Eye

Enjoy!

How about you were pickin' peaches, dot? Sounds good to me.

YEAH! That's it. Between Peaches, Pecans, and Peanuts, I just plumb fergot! That's it.

[Roger -Dot- Lee(Admin)]

We've managed to locate some VERY interesting looking tracks (they all look interesting if you can read MP3 encoding, but that's another story, of course).

Anyway, here is the latest and greatest! Wonderful way of sending July out with a Whumph! or something like that.

• Captain Beefheart and His Magic Band - Doc At The Radar Station
• Captain Beefheart and His Magic Band - Trout Mask Replica
• Poverty's No Crime - The Chemical Chaos
• Zappa/Beefheart - Bongo Fury
• Zappa, Frank - 200 Motels

As always, enjoying the music is encouraged, and tossing live ordinance at Microsoft Corporation, while cheered upon by a certain contingent of Aural Moon members, is generally frowned upon by the authorities.

Roger -Dot- Lee, debating whether his new found monicker "Dr. Dot" should become a standard part of his vernacular, and even going so far as to ponder changing his middle name to -Dot-...

On a totally unrelated note, I think it's time to restart this thread. It's almost as long as the original quiz one!

Don't you DARE! Don't you DARE touch my thread!

This was, I think, the very first thread I ever started here on the moon, and it ain't goin' NOWHERE, thenkyewverrymuch!

I'm just saying, it's about time to start it over.

New Additions: front page - 4 new Kaipa albums!
What was that, 9 months ago?

03-17-2004 08:52 AM

I read that as a little over 4 months. If it'd been like 8 months three weeks or something, I wouldn't have mentioned it. But a half year...well, I'm sure you see the point.

I love the thread, just needs to be started over. This is just my opinion, and you remember how much you paid for it.

And worth every penny. :P

Holy crap! Rick and Roll and VAX agreeing with Spaz in the same day?!?!?! Are the stars aligned or something?

Yeah, I noticed that myself. I was wondering if I'd stumbled upon an alternate reality or perhaps the wrong Aural Moon or something.

Seriously Roger.Lee. It's not like some vital thing, I just think it's getting long. That's all. I won't even mention it again. It matters a hill of beans.

"But this is our hill, and these are our beans." - Leslie Nielson

Oh, I know. I was just pulling people's legs. The biggest reason I put them all in one place, though, is to have a running record of what was uploaded when. It makes updating the site a lot easier.

And besides, I was thinking of restarting once we'd filled up page 10.

[Roger -Dot- Lee(Admin)]

Have you SEEN my leg? Hows abouts we not pull it, okay?

Oh, yeah. That's right. Sorry 'bout that, Spaz.

Now if you all will excuse me, I think I'll go have a raging case of the screamin' heebie-jeebies now.

*shudder* *twitch* *eeeEEEEEEeeeee*

*blink*

*shudder violently*

The sticky thread idea of mossy's rules.

Yeah, I think it is, and toss Keithie's on top of it. The only problem with that is that it's a LOT easier THIS way for Rick to come along and point out spelling errors. He doesn't have to switch threads that way. :P

Roger -Dot- Lee, always considerate of his fellow progsters.

Oh MY yes. Those make my teeth itch, too.

Plus, my all time favorite: For all intensive purposes.

That one will ALWAYS make me cringe.

Roger -Dot- Lee, who's been doing a lot of cringing lately.

Roger your teeth itch? I'd get that checked out!

Yeah, no kidding, especially when you consider that they're store bought...

much of this stuff is fulfilling requests from the music suggestions thread, including some old ones; and note the geographic diversity: Japan, France, Sweden, Finland, Bulgaria, Poland, Yugoslavia, Germany and Ireland. Have fun requesting!

I was wondering about all the song titles having strange thingies around the letters. This would explain it, of course.

How do you DO that? I can't get little symbols for nothing.

It's a piece of cake on the Wonderful Macintosh™, and just slightly more complicated on the Evil™, Nasty™ Windoesn't systems. As someone else pointed out, just find the character map utility. It's got all KINDS of cool stuff in it.

Roger -Dot- Lee, disappointed that Windoze doesn't support Cyrillic like it should.

Greetings and salutations, music lovers!

In keeping with my rank stubbornness, I have again uploaded and configured a whole BUNCH of Jim's handiwork for your enjoyment.

Personally, I'm REALLY looking forward to some of the Steve Stevens. Flamenco guitar just makes me squeal like a little kid sometimes.

Anyway, again, in no particular order....

• Dream Theater - Awake
• Stevens, Steve - Flamenco A Go Go
• Dream Theater - Images And Words
• Dream Theater - Scenes From A Memory
• Dream Theater - The Silent Man
• Stevens, Steve - Flamenco A Go Go
• Dream Theater - When Dream And Day Unite
• The Flower Kings - Stardust We Are
• Lest - 3937
• Pain Of Salvation - Entropia
• Stevens, Steve - Flamenco A Go Go
• Pain Of Salvation - The Perfect Element Part I
• Stevens, Steve - Flamenco A Go Go

Did I mention that I REALLY like Flamenco guitar?

Enjoy! I'll likely be stuffing the queue as time and circumstance allows.

Roger -Dot- Lee, trying NOT to make Stevens, Steve the next Mike Oldfield.

Roger - you're not bucking for Billy Idol are you?

I will be pushing up daisies after having been run over by a runaway herd of wild Alpaca before I EVER request, push for, or do anything but burn, crush, incinerate, or fling from high locations, anything by Billy Idol.

Roger -Dot- Lee "EEEWWWW!!!"

That Steve Stevens is a find. I knew he was a reasonably talented guitarist when he played with Billy, but his work with Bozzio-Levin-Stevens was a pleasant surprise. A friend turned me on to this solo album, and I really like it. Feedback is welcome.

OK, now that everyone is over the shock of DT, I've got a bit of feedback on the Steve Stevens album.

I am personally very glad that I heard his work before I was aware that he was at one time associated with Billy Idol, or that would likely have jaded me away from what has turned out to be one of the best albums on the Moon. Now I'm quite aware that there might be others that disagree with me, and, as I've said in the past, they're all welcome to their opinion, no matter how wrong it is. This has become, in my opinion, one of the better sleepers on the entire site. It's NOT just Flamenco guitar, but an interesting fusion of Flamenco with assorted and sundry other styles.

And he makes it WORK!

This is a real gem, Jim. Ya hit the jackpot on this one.

Roger -Dot- Lee, STILL groovin' on it.

So when did the one song by Pineapple Thief get added and where is the rest of the album. Mossy turned me on to this wonderful group. Hope the rest of the cd makes here too.

It's a single track that was part of a Gnosis show a few months ago.

As for the rest of the CD, well....

[Roger -Dot- Lee(Admin)]

Greetings, faithful readers!

We've just made a nice little update to the library. I ran a few of the tracks earlier today, and liked what I heard. I may take a few moments on occasion and randomly slap one on the queue (new music manager's perogative).

Anyhoo, here they are:

• Programme D'Experience - Thought Molecules
• Stealing The Fire - Hot Ice & Wondrous Strange Snow
• Zen Rock and Roll - End Of The Age

Enjoy!

Roger -Dot- Lee, liking the Zen one so far....
