recent roundup
What is on the mind of, say, 90% of all Americans these days? No, it's not any of the things you'd think...
It's Game of Thrones.
To wit, Ryan posted an Instagram story on the Captain Cuts page last night featuring a little father-son bonding time over S08 E05 (which has been described by one recapper as Just one long 80-minute 'AAAAHHH!!!') and there so many questions I imagine fellow fans would love to discuss with the Maestro. But I totally get why Trevor is into this show, it's so political, and he loves politics as a discipline.
Moving along, if you're not subscribed to Marq Vas' YouTube channel, what are you even doing with your life? Just teasing, but if you are into enjoying/learning more about South African music, and specifically rock/pop of the 1970s, Marq has been generous in sharing a bit of his vast collection with us over the years. The other day he highlighted an obscure greatest hits release, uploading a track (originally from Rock Rabbitt, the album in which Trevor does not appear) on his channel. For you completists out there, as far as I know this one is pretty rare indeed even as its' track listing is really nothing to get excited about.

(I'm assuming Charlie is not on Team Dany.)

The anatomy of a Classic
Back in January I posted an entry regarding Trevor Horn's recent release Reimagines The Eighties, and last week the audio engineering publication Sound On Sound posted a new video profile/interview with Mr. Horn regarding this release, which features a section on the actual construction of "Owner of a Lonely Heart" where we get to hear parts of the original multitrack recording. If you're like me and you love that kind of detailed analysis of recording methodology, arrangements and so forth, then you will find this fascinating - the section about "Owner" is at 7:44.

This date in Yesstory: a rare unity
Spotted on Instagram: a great nod to yesterday's 28th anniversary of Union, the Yes album and tour which featured members from the Classic Yes and YesWest lineups. This shot - from the filming of the video for "Lift Me Up" - is a nice grouping of that once-in-a-lifetime lineup.
And because now is always a good time to watch the video...
