The TORI AMOS/AL STEWART Connection

To find the Tori Amos/Al Stewart connection, we must first ask ourselves one simple question... "Y Kan't Tori Read?" Some of you may get that... some of you may be asking why Uncle Zeke can't spell. Or should I say, "kan't spell"? To begin, "LITTLE EARTHQUAKES" was NOT To ri Amos' first project. Her career began in the late 80's, with her band, "Y Kan't Tori Read". This album featured several members, including Matt Sorum, who was best known for his drum work with Guns'n'Roses, as well as The Cult. Tori, herself, has distanced herself from this project, as the album is long out of print, and something that she is not particularly proud of. This album has been one of the most sought after Tori Amos collectables. In the height of her career, new copies (in long box) were fetching upwards of $1000.00, each.

Post #31: Let's talk DRUMMERS!

---------------- Now playing: Frank Zappa - Stink-Foot via FoxyTunes I just want to point out that I am not biased when it comes to the musicians I talk about. Where I am a guitarist, marginal at best (and I mean BAD marginal, not good marginal), I also love and appreciate the talents of the rhythm section. Drums AND bass. I will delve into bass in another post. With this one, we are going to talk drums. Now, before I get started, I just wanted to point out that I am now numbering the blog posts, as I am wanting to refer to earlier posts, and it will be much easier if I can just lay out a number for the reader to reference. And now... ON TO DRUMS! So, if I were to ask you who your favorite drummer is, would you just spit out Neal Peart? I am going to do another survey, and Mr. Peart will definitely be on the list, but I want to point out a few others that really get my foot tapping. Literally! MY personal favorite drummer is Gavin Harrison, the drummer for Porcupine Tree. ...

Top 5 Bands To Listen To, Under the Influence of Percocet!

For those of you that frequent my other blog ( http://www.seandahl.blogspot.com ), you know that I am recovering from a minor surgical procedure. I had the "plantar fascia" partially released, which although a rather insignificant procedure, is one that has a fairly painful recovery period. It will leave me on my back for the better part of a week, and will put me out of work for, at the very least, two weeks, and will take the better part of a month before I am back to normal. Possibly longer... So, what does this have to do with my music blog? Well, the kind doctor prescribed some Percocet, to get me through the first week or two of recovery. First, I need to make it abundantly clear that Percocet is a PRESCRIPTION pain reliever, and should only be used as such. Got that?? Good... now, onto the happy side of that Percocet use.... ...the Top 5 bands to listen to, under the influence of Percocet! 5. NO-MAN : Yesterday, I decided to put on "Schoolyard Ghosts...
