Re: Aural Moon unlistenable

I thought I knew these cats, but I looked on the page and it's someone else.

Small potatoes, and a confusing website to boot. Looks like another who thinks the world starts and stops with the same 5 or 6 bands and their offshoots.

I get feedback (mostly good) all the time - how interesting that someone chooses to write this.

The only thing worthwhile from that post is the word detritus. Never seen it used before, I like it.

ok, that's the 15 minutes of fame they got from me, and certaily no flaming. Onto the next thing...

Mailotron - on an unrelated note (while I have your attention). Do you know or know of Jaak Geebelen? He's from Belgium and I have him as a friend on my space. His photos of bands are exquisite.

I know him! Met him at a Marillion gig. He shoots with, essentially, a Canon EOS Rebel.

That name means nothing to me , perhaps his band's name will do ?

My favorite variation of the word is "detritivore" which is defined as one who feeds on said rubbish/garbage. Crayfish/crawdads are an example, as they survive on aquatic waste (i.e., decayed animals and/or vegetation).

I'm sure you all couldn't live another minute without knowing that, right?

It's a troll and very likely our old nemesis Cedric (Rick_Wakeman) trying to rouse the rabble. Look at the email address. Clearly a disposable gmail account. This is one of the reasons my SMTP server blacklists gmail, hotmail, and other such email services.

You need to read more case law then!

Here's another word to augment your vocabulary: perfidy. Applicable to this PMS posting.

Thanks for contributing to the progressive rock nutrient cycle, my fellow AM detritivores!

Re: Aural Moon unlistenable

Well good feedback everyone, and if you haven't chimed in yet feel free.

There are not going to be any major significant changes to Aural Moon's philosophy of the broadest possible definition of prog. That doesn't mean that if I go over the deep end on a particular add (entirely possible), you can't call me on it. Please do, I don't get offended, but I don't promise to remove anything.

The feelings on "jazz" are very interesting to me. I have very intentionally stayed away from adding straight jazz. I am of the belief that some of the Miles that has been mentioned, if I claimed it was Caravan from some bootleg or lost album, it would be praised rather than condemned (and I am well aware that there has been positive and negative feedback, just addressing the negative at the moment). I think that fusion has much more in common with prog than so-called prog-metal (which is just metal with more ostentatious displays of virtuosity). But that's just my opinion. It only matters since I am the decider (take that W! )as to what goes on Aural Moon.

So anyone who objects to Miles, just curious: should Mahavishnu be here? Return to Forever?

as far as the original message that Vax posted, the station admins are not worried about a dissenting opinion, more that we're having fun with the idiot.

Feedback always welcomed...
