02.26 Monday s Hors d Oeuvres

Welcome back to another work week. As usual, we’ll kick it off with links to some interesting shit from around the information superhighway:

Arcade Fire played great versions of and on SNL this weekend. Hey, I seem to remember another band employing the whole destroy your guitar thing

Dinosaur Jr.

will release its with the original lineup since 1988

Led Zeppelin and Van Halen have for allowing bands to play their songs (umm, why this particular club?)

Wow, Genesis gets the number one album of all-time? Questionable, although I m not sure who I d put up there.

What s your #1 prog rock album of all-time?
By the way, I m in total shock over that Zep/Van Halen story I hope it s just a joke gone awry. Or maybe the club s owner sodomized some of their girlfriends and wives back in the day.

Best I can come up with. I would have put Demons and Wizards on the list and probably bumped up Tull. But then again I have never heard of 3/4 of those albums.

Putting Lamb Lies Down @ #1 is the only thing about that list I agree with, that s a desert island for me and the quintessential prog album in my mind.
Although not knowing 75% of the titles made me feel not quite as geeky as I thought I was, so I appreciated that (of course, ignoring the fact that I am literally typing this with a lab coat on right now) Yeah, geeky works as a decriptive adjective for you. Embrace it.

By the way, that labcoat line, which I know to be true, just made me literally laugh out loud. Good work. I love the new Arcade Fire stuff they never really clicked with me before.

Does anyone agree that Keep the Car Running sounds an awful lot like Eddie the Cruisers On the Dark Side?
Also, heard some new Dino Jr. tracks already and it sounds just like Dino Jr.

of old in a good way!

: Oh, please still post the collaboration, that would be awesome!
