The latest IPRS, show 66, is now ready to download. A lot of new music in this one, and all great!! I discovered a fantastic band called Atto IV, which I hope you like, and I played a couple of old favourites of mine... two epics; one from Porcupine Tree and one from the Keith Emerson Band featuring Marc Bonilla. And speaking of Marc Bonilla, a listener corrected me on my prononciation of his name. It seems I've been prononcing the "ll"s while I should have prononced it "boneeya", so I stand corrected, and thank you Wayne for pointing me in the right direction.
Another thing: I've been really busy listening to music, taking notes, and preparing this radio show, apart from from "real world" job, and I still haven't had time to write down my CD review. I hope to do this during this next week. Thank you for your patience.
In other news: NEARfest has announced yesterday that it has cancelled its 2011 edition! Imputing this cancellation on low ticket sales, the 5 members of the NEARfest organizing comittee have acknowledged that it may be because of the state of the economy in the US. As my friend Peter wrote on Facebook "Where have all the Prog fans gone!" Well, prog fans are workers, tax payers, and are affected by the economy as much as the rest of the population, so I am inclined to believe the NEARfest comittee about this, which is a shame since they had a great line-up for 2011. I sincerely hope that NEARfest will resume operations in time for a 2012 festival.

ReplyDeleteThank so much Jane. I love doing this show and discovering (and helping other people discover) new bands and new sounds. BTW, you live not far from my cousin André, who lives in Missiriac, a two hour drive from your town.
