I have a new favorite local radio station, SAM-FM 105.5

Their format is very eclectic, basically classic rock + New Wave + 80s and 90s alternative + a sprinkling of hip-hop and Top 40 songs of the present. Usually I like about 90% of what they play.

Robert Plant in concert is never a disappointment. I have seen him over the years and is always worth the price of admission. Not sure if I will attend the Vancouver show on April 17th. The ticket prices are $84 to $130. With Rush evidently wrapping up their tour in Vancouver early July I'll probably save for that concert as the tickets are expensive!

Nazareth, This Flight Tonight.

Agreed. Like Rock_Head, I've seen his solo tours here in Vancouver a few times, and as much as I'd love to see him again now, it's not in the cards.

Check out the Rockline interview replay while you still can. Coincentally I listened to it yesterday. Good fun.

Some Trooper late this morning(Boys in the Bright White Sports Car/Pretty Lady/Two for the Show).

Dang! I was just listening to some music by FM(the group) off their album "Black Noise". They're a T.O. prog band from the latter 70s/early 80s, who toured with Rush on their Moving Pictures tour....anyway, great album(my brother had it yrs ago) but it looks like it sells for a small ransom these days...Dang it!

Lyle Lovett - Pontiac
Before this
Gillian Welch - Time (The Revelator)

Some Iron and Wine on NPR while perusing the forums...

My Trooper Hot Shots CD is sooooooooo quiet, I have to turn up the volume to 0 just hear it at some decent SPL, EAC showed 50-60% when I ripped it.

I've been so busy tryin' to make a few bucks that I haven't had any time to spend 'em. Until today.

In the que:

I'm saving the best for last.

White Lies--"Ritual"
Maps & Atlases--"Perch Patchwork"
Paul Weller--"Wake Up the Nation"
Sufjan Stevens--"The Age of Adz"
The Decemberists--"The King is Dead"
Gaslight Anthem--"American Slang"
Ariel Pink--"Haunted Graffiti"

And....drumroll, please..

Anal C_nt--"Fu_ _in' A' "

It was 6 bucks and I didn't even care if it had a CD inside!

Here are the titles:
Fu_ _ Yeah; Crankin' My Band's Demo on a Box at the Beach; Loudest Stereo; Kickin' Your Ass and Fu_ _in' Your Bitch; Hot Girls on the Road; Whiskey, Coke and Sluts; All I give a Fu_ _ About is Sex; I'm Gonna Give You AIDS; Yay!! It's Pink!!; I Wish My Dealer Was Open

The guys at the counter at my used CD store told me I'd love the inside cover art. On the outside back cover, a member of the band is snortining something.
On the immediate inside cover is a member of the band, on stage, performing, while getting a bj---full color, no add-on-black-band-bikinis. All the rest of the color photos are of sluts---no I mean, REAL sluts. Cool.

It's gotta be bad, right? I mean realllly baaaad. The lyrics are printed on a foldout. That should be good. Let's hope. I'll let you know.

Negative Orange, my ass!
