@brianeno Fab! Now, can you tell me how you got that snare sound on the track 'Home'?

[Ralph Chapman @ChapRalphman]

@BridgetPhetasy But look at the alternative...

@PhilCollinsFeed @OfficialBrandX These guys have really been deprived a proper reissue program and celebration. A lot of people hold those core albums dear. Brilliant band, hopelessly neglected.

[Ralph Chapman @ChapRalphman]

@ThatEricAlper All the time.

@RonSexsmith Fab in Fernwood, fab in America 2Night - and, the film My Bodyguard. But Fred and Martin being gone is really weird. My own mortality thrown in my face again.

@TheFigen_ Coins for a payphone.

@ThatEricAlper We're An American Band - Grand Funk and the incomparable Don Brewer. Absolute phrasing perfection. Anything by Phil Collins, as well.

Although the competition is very tight, this might be in the top 50 most putrid, most cynical, most laziest songs so far this year. Apparently, the most added tune on both country and pop radio - so, I guess it's me. Charlie Rich just rolled over and spit up.

Untouched, unfiltered - out for late walk, a cloud covered moon over South Central Ontario...

@Lefsetz You embarrassed yourself on that Cummings interview. Even ten minutes of research would have done that trick.

@historyrock_ Lennon.

[Ralph Chapman @ChapRalphman]

@historyrock_ Phil Collins - and I adore John Bonham, but Phil's drums discography is vast and extraordinary beyond Genesis and his own work. Start with John Martyn - Grace & Danger, assorted Brian Eno, and the first two Brand X records - and that's just the beginning.

[Ralph Chapman @ChapRalphman]

@historyrock_ Of course, he is.

Lovely show at The Axis Club, Toronto Canada - April 6, 2024 - Headline Alice Phoebe Lou with her opener Sam Burton perform Gordon Lightfoot's Early Morning Rain. Top notch stuff. @alicephoebelou @alicepheobelou_ @partisanrecords #alicepheobelou #samburton

@seanonolennon A question for the ages.

The quite superb Olivia Rodrigo, last night at Scotiabank Arena, Toronto, Canada, as taken by me, from the cheap (er) seats! - March 30, 2024. A generational talent. @oliviarodrigo @OliviaRodrigoHQ @oliviarodrbr #GUTSWorldTourToronto #GutsTour @TheDanielNigro

@AMAZlNGNATURE Shouldn't that living creature be in water? Isn't cruelty fun?

@literarynonense We all have our bad days (or nights).
