RIP Fats Domino.

#102

I just saw the headlines. He's next up on my Rock and Roll Hall of Fame listening list. You've got to give credit to these stars of yesterday who manage to live long lives. Too many talented musicians have their lives cut short.

#103

I bought myself a new bass rig.

#104

RIP David Cassidy.

#105

Not exactly news, but Toehider (my first submission to SAW) now has a Patreon thing going where he just constantly makes music and stuff. I'm a patron, and it's pretty well-updated so far.

#106

RIP Dolores O'Riordan

#107

RIP Cecil Taylor

Oh wow, sad to say I thought he was gone years ago. I saw him in the Village in the 80's one time. He made the standard Village jazz bands seem like garage bands.

RIP.

Avicii has died.

#111

I happened to click on an article this morning about a body that was found washed up on the shore in Scotland. It belonged to this man:

Holy fuck

I love those guys

Fuck.

Damn it

and it was suicide. pretty much all of his lyrics were about depression, some straight-up about suicide. fuck, this is rough

#116

Hardly news, but an intriguing discovery on my part:

Tales from Topographic Oceans by Yes is my favorite album. Yet, until just a few minutes ago, I had no idea that a section of "The Revealing Science of God" was originally conceived during the Fragile sessions. It gives a glimpse of what direction Tales from Topographic Oceans might have taken with Bruford behind the kit, and Rick Wakeman sneaks in a riff that would form the basis of "Siberian Khatru." I had known all along that several motifs present on Tales from Topographic Oceans were borrowed from previous Yes albums; I had no idea that an entire passage was conceived as early as 1971.

he seems to have just done exactly what he sang about 11 years ago

this song is the biggest musical gut punch ever now.

RIP Queen of Soul

I've got a real indication that I'm gonna be picking that up.

What's your opinion of Lynch's musical projects? They're certainly interesting, if nothing else.

#121

Besides the stuff that's been on Twin Peaks / the soundtracks, and I guess what he did with Julee Cruise (Floating into the Night) I'm not familiar. So far so good.

Here's his self-directed music video for the instant classic "Crazy Clown Time" off of the album Crazy Clown Time.

#123

RIP Eddie Money. Time to turn in one of those tickets to paradise.

#124

Welcome back, Leonard Cohen.

#125

Rush drummer Neal Peart has died from brain cancer.

Spoiler: show

#126

Well, this sucks.

I know he wasn't doing music anymore, but... man. No other musician has had as much influence on me, or my father.

#127

RIP Kenny Rogers.

Spoiler: show

#128

RIP John Prine.

#129

I have to admit, the first I think I ever heard of John Prine was when he was nominated for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame a year or two ago.

Will have to listen to some songs of his to see if I recognize them.

#130

RIP Charlie Daniels

#131

RIP Ennio Morricone

greatest composer ever. today we weep you.

#132

I was just talking about Ennio Morricone with a friend last night, said I was gonna pick up some recorders and try to make some pieces in his style for fun. Woke up to the news. And Charlie Daniels, too. Music has lost two great names today.

That's been out a month hasn't it?

I haven't bought it yet. I wasn't wild about the last one, but the samples I heard from the new one sound promising.

I just found out about it. I didn't care for The Prelude Implicit either, but based on the little I've had time to listen to, I'm hopeful for the new one.

#136

Damn, 2020. RIP Eddie Van Halen.

#137

RIP Jerry Jeff Walker

#138

RIP Cloris Leachman

Double talent of funny and voice.

#139

Happy retirement, Daft Punk.

#140

I'm a massive Kansas fan, and I only found out tonight that my favorite violinist died in July.

RIP Robby Steinhardt.

#141

ABBA is making music again.

#142

RIP Meat Loaf

#143

The Tipping Point, new album by Tears for Fears (first one in 17 years) released today.

On the drive home I remembered this and flipped over to First Wave on Sirius XM, thinking they might be playing some of it. Indeed, there was an interview with TFF followed by the title track.

It sounded like 1990s King Crimson initially, then it was like prime Tears for Fears. I don't think they'll ever top Songs from the Big Chair, but this song came damn close. Very impressive.

#144

RIP Olivia Newton John
