i really forgot that song. i had only the album ‘life in japan’ left in the ‘storage’.
i allready prepared one thing yesterday. than now is the right time for that, because of the birthday:

R.I.P.
it’s not much metal here. i have something. a band, may be not so well known. but what metal band is ‘well know’ outside of the fan community? only a few i think.
Dream Theater
Panic attack
but for the others…i not heard it complete yet…but that is a quite good
‘Thrash Metal Playlist.’
for band names…i have NOOOO idea
but there is a short text displayed at beginning. may be it is from time to time when the band or song changes? just watch the whole 5 hours
it’s not importend, when it is used as background music for someone who works as a watchmaker or a brain surgeon or so.
i do not understand, why it is called ‘trash’ metal ???
the only reason, that google translater gave me, is: when you dance the whole playlist, it will ‘trash’ you (kaputt machen)
If you enjoy classic prog rock, here’s 12 minutes well worth listening to!
This post is to the memory of the English keyboard player Peter Bardens, who was born 80 years ago today. He started out on the UK blues scene in the 1960’s, playing along the likes of among others John Mayall, Van Morrison, Rod Stewart, Peter Green and Mick Fleetwood.
However, Peter Bardens is probably best known as co-founder of the prog rock band Camel, where he played keyboards from 1971 to 78. The band had considerable success on the prog rock circuit in the UK and Europe during the 70’s, and is said to have inspired bands like Marillion, Porcupine Tree and Opeth.
After leaving Camel, Peter Bardens pursued a solo career, with eleven albums to his name, besides being part of various band projects. He remained active as a musician almost all the way until he passed away from cancer in 2002. He was 56 years old. I raise my glass to Peter Bardens’ memory
Happy Birthday to Ann Wilson, singer in the classic American/Canadian band Heart, one of the very first band to be fronted by two females. She is turning 75 today!
This one is to the memory of the Norwegian guitarist Trygve Thue (1950-2022), who would have turned 75 today. He’s best known (in Norway) from the band Saft (Lemonade), a band who had their chance to hit it big internationally in November 1971, when the song People In Motion won the monthly hit contest the European Broadcasting Union was running back then. The English band Slade came in second.
This made the Polydor, one of the biggest record companies at the time, consider giving Saft an international record deal. However, this time Saft lost, and the record deal went to the Dutch band Focus instead. And as they say, the rest is history. Both Slade and Focus became big names in the rock world, while Saft remained “Big In Norway”.
Anyway, People In Motion is a damn catchy tune, well worth a listen over 50 years later. So here it is, with Trygve Thue on guitar. And here’s to his memory
Happy Birthday to one of the greatest! And this time it really is one of the greatest, because today it’s Ray Davies of the Kinks’ birthday. He’s turning 81
The Kinks - Picture Book
While we’re at it, Ray Davies has written one the best anti-war songs ever.
Today I’m going to send my birthday greetings to an English painter, namely Humphrey Ocean, who is turning 74 today. What on earth does a painter have to do in a music topic you may ask? Well, let me explain. In 1971 he learnt painting from singer Ian Dury, then a painter. Then in 1973 he joined the excellent band Kilburn & The High Roads as a bass player, along with Ian Dury and several musicians who later become members of Dury’s band the Blockheads.
After Kiburn & The High Roads opened on the Who’s tour in late 73, Humphrey Ocean retired from music, and has concentrated on painting ever since. With one exception, the single Whoops-a-Daisy, released on Stiff Records in 1978. I still have the 7", and it’s a fun and catchy tune well worth a spin now and then almost 50 years later. So here it is. Happy Birthday to Humphrey Ocean!
