Saw Pavlov's Dog live in Melbourne on Saturday night (see "Rolling How Was The Show Thread"). Their tour is in honour of the 50th anniversary of the release of their first album, "Pampered Menial".
The best known song on the album is "Julia" which was also released as a single.
@Plong42 Also thanks from me, good that The Tooth (did anyone call them that?) have their albums up on Bandcamp. I only know the album with Pierre Henry, so it was nice to have a groove to the first album yesterday. I think one or two might find themselves slipping into the collection.
For Random Radio, I use a list of "Inspirations" that I subject to chance operations. For the Nov. 19th show, emusers was used as the stimulus - and, in this case, I just worked backwards from this, "What Are You Listening To..." thread as the spark or the rolling ball that you follow and guide a bit as it rolls along.
Anyway, you can follow along if you care to at this link. Tunes are announced on the show, but you'll have to wait until after the show airs to actually see them in a list. Also, it's Philip Catherine's 83rd birthday today and he's featured in the set too. Prog guys here should be interested, I think.
Candid Antics,Cease and Desist (link to Bandcamp). This is a local jazz band (Grand Rapids, Michigan) that I have seen at least 6 times now. Their first album was under the name Pocket Watch. As soon as they released their first album under that name, another band already using the name sent them a cease-and-desist letter (hence the album title). Glad I bought a CD at the show, since the album is not available on Bandcamp anymore.
The self-description on Bandcamp: "blending the fusion styles of the 60s and 70s with modern jam bands."
"World Music", the 2012 Progressive/Psychedelic Rock album by Goat.
All Music says "With an unfettered sound influenced by everything from Afrobeat and heavy metal to Anatolian funk and biker rock, Goat are an experimental psychedelic rock band based out of Gothenburg, Sweden. They have received acclaim for their explosive, energetic performances (during which they don elaborate masks and costumes) as well as their albums, including their aptly named 2012 debut World Music, which gathered styles from around the globe in a swirling mix of sound."

in the last couple of weeks performing locally, we've had Oasis, Metallica, AC/DC, Crowded House, Pixies, The Church, Bill Frisell Trio and Kokoroko.
Coming up in the next week or two we have, amongst others, Steven Wilson, Lady Gaga, Lenny Kravitz, Opeth, Gilles Peterson and David Gray.
Not saying that they are all my cup of tea but what an array!
Can any of your home towns match Melbourne or perhaps do even better!!??
I haven't played this in a long time. Brings back memories from decades ago!
