Wait There, I Will Be Right Down
It was a crazy night Friday while Roger and I hit the Jughandle. The fury came to a head which made me realize two things. Dude you are getting too old for this stuff, and the other being that no matter how much I believe in physically standing up for yourself to a trouble maker, after a certain point in your life as you become an adult, it’s not worth the cost of winning or losing. Yeah sure you have all the people coming up to you after going, “That guy was a real jerk and he deserved it…” and blah blah blah, but is it worth walking around with a cracked rib and a swollen face? I think not. But I have to admit in a weird sick way, I still enjoyed it. Oh and by the way, ice does help. Maybe someone should let Ben Rothelsburger know that. I guess the odds makers raised the chances on the Super Bowl for Philadelphia a little higher.
Cheepnis Of Memory 44
Tonight’s show was more a mellow atmosphere as we prepped ourselves for the upcoming weekend of madness. I went rather light on the programming only because next week would be where all the specifics would be important. We went with some new Tunnels by request, which by the way, is an excellent recording. We also featured the new Frost CD from the insideout label which is sure to get a lot of attention. Another powerhouse is the new Derek Sherinian CD titled Blood Of The Snake which features Billy Idol, Zakk Wylde, and many other prog/metal mainstays. This disc is another sure to please release for the heavier minded prog fans. Sherinian blows off the doors with this one. We also featured the new archive re-releases of the French Canadian band Conventum and their 2 albums, Le Bureau Central Des Utoples and A L'affut D'un Complot. Great folkish sounds that border between chamber music and jazz. Really good stuff from the Progquebec guys. I toast them. We went into the archives for memory #44 in which this time since Nearfest was so close, we decided to spotlight our popular interview from 2004 in Mike Keneally. Mike gave us a half hour of time and was very candid. I remember after airing the original interview the main response was: “I can’t believe how much he talked about playing with Zappa….he never does that. He avoids it.” Well we aired it and it was the same thing this time around. All hail the Guitar Therapy CD. When it’s official it’s a top 5iver.
