Listening to one of my favourite Saturday night radio shows, Saturday Night blues with Holgar Peterson.

He started off with Mavis Staples, what a powerful voice, and then moved on to Helfire by Joe Louis Walker. Holey bendy distortion batman! Good stuff.

Ooooh, the dude's gonna be at the Kithener Blues fest this year. Gotta catch him there.

Fat Fredie's Drop. - Some funk...I must be drunk. Ya, definately drunk.

Opeth "My Arms, Your Hearse"

Found an old 2009 Youtube of Matt Anderson. Kind of funny cause he still loves to make fun of the head-bangers with his hair every now and then.

SQ is only fair. http://www.stubbyfingers.ca/ if you want better sounding stuff.

Toots & The Maytals - 'Come Reggae' from their Slatyam Stoot album.

Dry the River's album "Shallow Bed". They're a relatively new folk rock band from London. Heavy on the vocal harmonies, if you're into that sort of thing.

Tiamat - "Wildhoney"

I dug out & played the first CD that I ever owned - TOTO IV. I forgot what great material is included in this album.

I recall going to a Sony Store in Edmonton, Alberta in the early 1980s for a demonstration of their first CD Player that had just been released - Sony CDP-101. How we were all enthralled!

TOTO IV was the demo disc that they used. The CD liner notes show that mine was produced by CBS/Sony in Japan in 1982.

The CDP-101 was $1500 in those days - a lot of money then. I waited for the cheaper following model - CDP-200 I believe - that cost me $700 on sale & it didn't even have a remote. I remember that I couldn't wait to get rid of my turntable in order to leave the nasty clicks & pops behind that were so common to vinyl in those days...

Alice and the Intelects: Baloon Ride.

Trailer only unfortunately
Gotta love a song that includes a kettle drum.

Here's the whole thing.

Regina Spektor - "Small Town Moon"

Another old Regina Spektor song that finally gets a studio version in the upcoming album. Makes me happy.
