yes indeed. here's that first post. where you don't actually have anything to say, but you want to at least get started. i'm going to use this thing to babble about the usual music geek stuff. analog synths, odd and unusual music, and what-have-you. we'll see what happens. i'll put links to interesting (to me) stuff on here. it'll sort of look like this:

like most people these days i'm having way too much fun with youtube.com. you get the feeling that some of these people have been waiting years for the chance to share their collections of oddball music videos. some of this stuff i'd seen as a kid but never thought i would run into again. like this unbelievable footage of Peter Gabriel-era Genesis on belgian tv performing 'the musical box.' probably ca. 1972. amazing. there's a lot of talk these days about a 'prog rock resurgence,' but for my $ it didn't get any better than this. worth watching just for the shots of Tony Banks' MKII Mellotron and Steve Hackett's really swell nerdy eyeglasses.

BONUS! there's also a clip from the same tv show of the band playing the hell out of "return of the giant hogweed" from the same album, Nursery Cryme. this time you get to actually hear the mellotron. very nice.

now i'm off to look for some old King Crimson footage.
