In celebration of #ritchieblackmore 80th birthday, today’s listening

RSD haul (top row) and I also picked up some hitchhikers (bottom row)!

Rainy Sunday Kilmerthon;

The only one from Maiden I’ve ever met was Nicko at NAMM 2012 and he was every bit as awesome as you’d expect him to be. I have a feeling all the guys in Maiden are like that.

I’m really liking it! Picked up right where the last one left off. Their voices and playing styles work great together.

Now playing;

Smith/Kotzen-Black Light/White Noise

People are already up in arms over them doing the electric show in Vegas sans makeup lol and with Bruce!

I mean, if people actually thought they were going to stay away then they’re just naive. I agree, if they did an acoustic tour like that they’d make a killing.

Yep! I had the vcr ready to go! Friends were like “Let’s go out!” I said “Can’t, Kiss Unplugged is debuting and I’m recording it!”

“If you’re recording it can’t you watch it later?”

“That’s not the point!”

This afternoon’s aural indulgences

Tonight’s obtaniums

Got it from Laser’s Edge

I’m going to start it in a little bit here. Starts with a 23 minute epic!

New arrival

He is on the tour :)

Me too!!

October 9 w/Todd & Rob :)

From a recent interview he said it’s going to be a 2 1/2 hr set with an intermission and The Overview played in its entirety in the second set. He wouldn’t give details beyond that though.

Now watching

Now watching;

Start with Pictures In A Dream, that was my jumping off point

Two more added to my Arabs In Aspic collection. For those who aren’t familiar, they’re a quirky Norwegian prog band that sounds like a mixture of Deep Purple, Uriah Heep and a little seasoning of Zappa.

Niko is on one song, Randy is on the rest.

His playing on this is amazing!

Whilst not Irish, it is green so I’m counting it!

Spin 6 of Steven Wilson’s The Overview

Today’s plans 🍀

To my ears it’s like The Sky Moves Sideways and Hand.Cannot.Erase had a baby lol

5 listens now and it’s my favorite since To The Bone.
