As @Twang mentioned the Palladium gig was great – loud as fuck and very very proggy which started to wear me down by the end. I love SW but prefer the less ‘metal’ side of his material of which there was pre […]

I love that Candidate album – really captures the mood of the WM film. Had no idea they were still about. Thanks for the tip off.

Recently a convert to this show. Wasn’t sure at first but it grows in depth as the series progresses. Agree with comparison to Ted Lasso with the mix of humour and pathos and like TL there is not even the merest i […]

In which case I take it all back and bow deferentially to the writers.

Whenever I hear this song I always feel like shouting ‘Oy lyricist you lazy fucker!’ Elenore, gee, I think you’re swell And you really do me well You’re my pride and joy, et cetera

Not even remotely tempted. I rarely like any alternate takes or demos etc – there’s a reason why they were passed over/not released in the first place. Maybe of interest if you want to hear how it evolved but y […]

Done – I’m now feeling a little excited (but remain as ever very irritable)

We are members of The Rex a beautifully restored art deco cinema in Berkhamsted. It’s as much about the experience of going there as it is the film – feels very friendly and comfortable and we allow ourselves a s […]

I like the fact that the Don has made Economics so much easier to understand. Take a couple of numbers (made up ones can be substituted if preferred) divide by 2 and Bobs your uncle ( or possibly not)

It’s a standout moment for me. Great series – has a bit of that surreal 60s vibe of The Prisoner or Avengers (the Diana Rigg years of course!)

I think everyone on the AW should shake their booty to a bit of defiant jazz

I think I’ve accidentally stepped into the AW multiverse

The Overview – Steven Wilson

Funny that threads about Prog go on a long time – how appropriate. What is it about this music that still manages generate such fervour and discourse? I guess most of us on here are old enough to remember when […]

Stunning TV – no happy ending, no empty moralising or explanation just a camera pointed on one of the biggest problems facing todays society. The acting was extraordinary as was the choreography of the one shot episodes.

No need to hang your head in shame in this room – wear your Prog badge with pride!

Indeed an underrated band. Quietly innovative in their own way and in Argus they surpassed the sum of their parts. And yes Steve Upton is an excellent drummer – best demonstrated on their excellent vs of Vas Dis

I got my signed cd copy whilst I was on hols but have managed to give it a good few listens via Spotty during long train journeys through the Alps (worked really well as a soundtrack). Been comparing notes with […]

Hugely underwhelmed. Was getting excited by rumours of Stevie Wonder but we’ve got Olivia Rodrigo instead – even my 25yr old daughter thinks it’s ridiculous that she’s headlining. I rather like the 1975 but weren […]

Just perusing the list again – hey I’ve got time on my hands! Somewhat surprised by the high placing of The Second Arrangement. Like many Dan fans I was very excited by the news of this discovery a couple of y […]
