Argh. Was woken up at 4:00 this morning by a wet cat nose and loud purring. As I was petting the cat in the dark, something started to seem a bit off. Switched on the light, and wadya know -- not our cat.

Rainbow Dome Music and, to some extent, Green, are typically regarded as pioneers of the tech/trance genres. Hillage is brilliant, no doubt. I would love to meet him. A friend of mine and former guitarist for Switzerland's prog outfit Flame Dream met him in London back in the '80s. Report is he was cool.

Just recently spotted Emo Phillips on the street. I was standing in front of the building that he was staying at, adjoined by KBOO studios. I was smoking out front. He sort of looked at me and I recognized him. He looked like he needed peace - but that's how he always looks, so I just nodded at him and kept smoking my cigarette.
It was like spotting a deer or sasquatch in the woods.

I saw Emo doing his standup in Boston many years ago, and remember 1) the drunky woman nearby who complained loudly and at length about how awful Emo was, and 2) the guy who was tossing comments at the stage until Emo engaged him directly with some heckler-shut-off stuff, and the guy took off his coat and put it on the back of his chair in an ,"oh, it's ON now" fashion and said something in a Kermit the Frog voice. He seemed to be a hopeless douchey mook who regarded this direct attention as a chance to show how wonderfully funny, talented and ready he was, the way someone else would welcome a sudden invitation to come up and play drums for a band.

I listened to Spirit yesterday, and while the one recurring portion is nearly identical to Stairway, the rest of it is different enough that I'd be surprised if they reach a legal win. If they do, there so many countless songs with at least that level of identifiable similarity to something else that everybody and his recorded-something brother should be flinging suits all over the place.

@ Uncle Michael: Me too. There's also something vaguely kinky about the lyrics. Or maybe it's me.

Hello DJ Vegetable! I'm out sick today. The Murgatroid was especially good music to be out sick to. Or just out to.

Just stepped out and looks like I missed some fun stuff. Thanks for saving the Vale tribute for me, Tony!

It's YOU Tony! Dirty minded! Next thing you'll be telling us that there's some sexual reference in Steely Dan's name...

Was unaware of that Kippington Lodge release. Just ordered a copy c/o an Amazon promo. Can't wait.

Fairport Convention = FaCo? Steeleye Span = St. Spa? Kippington Lodge = KiLo? Kong Lavring = KoLa?

There was - may still be - a really good Steven Wright thing on Netflix. It had a short film he'd made at the end of it. Pretty funny.
