"I was the fool who trusted you..."
Bobby Tyson's world burns to Asia's "The Last To Know" - the perfect anthem for betrayal.
Watch the video. Then read Bobby Champion Vol.9 Ch.5 where:
*A phone bill exposes Jen's lies
*Fists fly in a muddy backyard brawl
*A champ sleeps in his kid's bed, broken

I started this oh HiFiMan Sundara cans. After supper, I took it from the top on the LRS-Vidar speaker rig with Gumby Multibit converting — no doubt it’s Floyd! With cymbals!
Aus #Frankreich kommt das Bandprojekt #IXION, das mit "Evolution" ein dreiteiliges Konzeptalbum und musikalisch eine sehr ungewöhnliche, aber toll funktionierende Kombination aus elektronischer Musik und #DoomMetal (mit einer Prise #ProgRock) vorlegt.
Aus Hannover und Bremen stammt die Band #FeathersAndGreed, deren Album "Pari shōkōgun" eine wilde Achterbahnfahrt mit Elementen des #ProgRock, #PsychedelicRock, #Jazz und #ArtRock bereithält. Sicherlich etwas für die längere Distanz und sehr spannend.
#music Dismal Wizard is doing minister of coin chores to Pink Floyd. And contemplating Ansible to automate some server admin.
The Floyd are playing what is now familiar material here. Early tracks are from Ummagumma and Meddle.
Greetings fellow sentients! It's #BandcampFriday so may I entreat you to consider my musical wares? I am an enthusiast of warbly squelchy weird rock music, and I like to record my own that I hope reflects that!
My latest is sci-fi rock opera concept album about fleeing a ruined earth. It's just a story though and has no bearing in reality, because everything is just fine here!!! Pic related, it's yours truly. Thank you!

Ya que estábamos por Boabdil-landia, nos acercamos a ver a los #AcidMothersTemple, una banda japonesa que toca con el volumen al 12 (imprescindibles los tapones), y que son algo así como #folk medieval europeo pasado por el colador del #ProgRock, y quizás el #PostPunk, para lograr materializar un #SpaceRock muy pero que muy ido de la olla.
I hope my next door neighbor doesn't mind Blue Oyster Cult because I'm on my second album of the night. They were a very, very underrated band who had a lot more interesting variety in their #70s output that a lot #hardrock bands of that era and I can usually put any album from those years on and at least really dig half of it.
Let's go with some Airbag for #ProgTuesday. It would be difficult to pick a favorite album, but "Machines and Men" definitely stands out as one of my favorite songs.
Sadistic Mika Band (サディスティック・ミカ・バンド) – Black Ship (黒船) (1974, Japan)
Our next spotlight is on number 84 on The List, submitted by avi_miller.
Black Ship (黒船, or Kurofune) is Sadistic Mika Band’s second LP, their line-up at the time consisting of married couple Mika (vocals) and Kazuhiko Katō (guitar and vocals) with Yukihiro Takahashi (drums), Masayoshi Takanaka (lead guitar), Ray Ohara (bass), and Yu Imai (keyboard). The album was produced by Chris Thomas, who at this point had already worked with the Beatles, Roxy Music, Pink Floyd, and Badfinger.
I feel like the cover art plus the fact that this band’s name is a parody of “Plastic Ono Band” – with “sadistic” a reference to how Mika used knives in the kitchen – tells you exactly what Black Ship is going to sound like. It’s quirky, it’s breezy, it’s delightful. And I’m not certain if Black Ship was intended as a statement or concept album, but the title at least seems symbolic, referring to the Perry Expedition or “Arrival of the Black Ships” in the 1850s that essentially forced Japan to open up to trade with the West and resulted in “Japonisme” or the influence of Japanese art/design on Western art. While Black Ship sold poorly when it was first released, it has since been regarded as an influential album in Japanese rock history. With the release of the band’s next album, Hot! Menu (1975), Sadistic Mika Band toured with Roxy Music, becoming the first Japanese rock band to tour the UK.
Upon release of Hot! Menu (another Thomas-produced album), the band broke up, essentially due to the end of the Katōs’ marriage. The band members would all continue to go on making music together, solo, or in other bands, and in various genres – including the jazz-rock/fusion focused The Sadistics, Kazuhiko’s solo ska and experimental work, and, of course, Takahashi’s synth-pop trio with Haruomi Hosono and Ryuichi Sakamoto, Yellow Magic Orchestra. In other words: rabbit hole time.
Happy listening.
So much more prog reading to do! Read about Shiva Bakta, Belling The Tiger, The Black Noodle Project, Derev, Pearl Handled Revolver, and Guy M Tkach and Peter M Sieker's book on Steven Wilson!
