Listener comments!
Nice, Steve.
Love it!
...he's just a shrewd business person. at least he never stole his best friend's wife; or emotionally and physically tortured his bandmates; or adorned his person with nazi symbols....
(Belated) ♒Aquarian Solar Returns !
FMU's not about requests for me - it's about getting turned on - but got any Jay Farrar in the bag?
...wull, BrianJones is a sore point - but, yeah...
Quick note on drummers, all these talented musicians that play all the instruments on their records would do well to consider having a drummer as the only outside player. For balance and quality.
100% unethical and it screwed the verve forever.
@Cliff, how are you doing in Prägůe?
He's a master DJ the way he moves from grove to grove, modulating mood from set to set.
Dammit - you wish about every FMU-J was their own stream.
Did you manged to see Mucha's Slav Epic exhibition at the National Gallery?
And yes! I did get to see the Slav Epic, it is monumental, I had to spend over 2 hours there wandering around to take it all in. Now I'm trying to figure out how to recreate it in VR (my current hobby)
It's only me from over the sea,
I'm all lit up like a Christmas Tree.
great show.
Someone like Gary Lucas, though, was reverential but hardly a cult member. Maybe Van Vliet tamped down his dictatorial ways by then.
