    RIP -- Vangelis

    https://www.cbc.ca/news/entertainment/vangelis-obit-1.6459512 This guy was absolutely brilliant -- as a prog rock musician, and as a film score composer. Probably his most known works were the soundtracks to Chariots Of Fire, and Blanderunner. He was also one of the founders of fairly well...

    RIP -- Lyle Mays

    Damn. One of the greatest keyboardists in contemporary, cross-over jazz. A long time collaborator with Pat Metheny. This sucks.

    Bob Cole's final broadcast

    Saturday will be legendary hockey broadcaster Bob Coles final broadcast; a career that has spanned about 50 years. Let me preface this with the obligatory -- he should have retired ~15 years ago. My honest opinion is that it's more like 10 years ago but let's not nitpick here. To me at least...

    Music you've come to appreciate years later...

    ...but didn't necessarily like when you first heard it. I'll start... For years I just couldn't get into this one (20+ minutes might have been one reason); however, years later, I just love this piece. It doesn't feature the classic Metheny solos/improv/melodies, but it's really evocative...

    The Making Of 10CC's -- I'm Not In Love

    Absolutely amazing how they managed to get that HUGE sound on just 16 tracks. If there's a seven wonders of the recording world, this tune should make the list, easily. At any rate, check this out...

    Jan Hammer -- Seasons Pt.1

    The latest Jan Hammer album was just released yesterday. My first impressions are that it's not too, too bad and will probably grow on me the more I listen to it. I'm listening to it on Spotify -- a platform with a reputation for questionable streaming quality; the mix is acceptable, but not...

    Great non-guitarcentric songs.

    Semi OT -- I have officially renounced being a leaf fan

    I've thought about this for a while so it's not a rash decision. I can't support anything run by MLSE; they simply go far too much against everything I believe in. FWIW, I think the leafs may actually be on the right track somewhat with this rebuild, but I simply don't care enough to find out...

    O.T. -- bad week for my household

    Sunday might my uncle dies of a heart attack, then at 12am tonight, the police inform us that my brother died in his sleep. He was only 49. I don't know if I'd normally be on here this at this time of night, but having been told at midnight about my brother, I can't find in me to sleep as of...
