^ Blimey! I didn't discover Moondog until the internet era, perhaps ten yrs ago.
Anyway, I have enjoyed the chat; thanks, rostasi and others. What a pity MB isn't like this more often. Now if you'll excuse me, I'm off to ride my bike around the 'hood.

Yet he is still a mod.

Obvisouly your MB Administrative peers are fine with your dickish retorts.

Unbelievable.

**** off dickweed

Jeez Chula man! Even I, with my ultra-annoyance of Frownland (can't say hatred, cos I don't hate him. Much..) knew that was a throwaway joke, and I find it hard to get his humour most of the time. Not sure why you're getting so upset. It's not like he insulted Holdsworth after all: in fact, he repped him pretty hard when all is said and done. Like the others say, and as has been said to me a whole lot, lighten up.

Pretty sure Frowny's going to retort with an MP3 of him banging on an empty Quacker State Oatmeal container. Thumbs up dude! Real talent is so underatted.

whatcha got against rats?

^ Wonderful rec of a band I've never heard of ! Thanks

(Poor old Moondog is going to get bumped out of first place, I fear.)

Moondog is ISB's pick in the Album Club soon!

I know nothing of Holdsworth (though I have heard vaguely of him) so will just add my condolences, as he seems to have been universally revered by his peers, and you can't really get a stronger endorsement than that. RIP.

Thanks for the comments. The drums are a loop. Everything else is me, and ya, I'm nowhere near in the same league at those other guys. Still a fun hobby though.

And wasn't really angry TH. Me and Frowny have developed a nice history of pushing each other's buttons.

God. We're losing so many icons. But I guess every generation feels the exact same way.

Life sucks, and then you die.

Tbh, I don't think generations before yours had the same number of icons in the sense you mean, so you're probably the first.

If you had a full band with keyboards and horns and everyone played as well as you do and you had good chemistry you'd have a damn good band.
