Someone is going to have to fill me in on who these Losers are.

I think I found them on myspace but the terrible myspace player won't let me play any music of theirs  :x

Any webpages or info on them?


EDIT

It's ok, I found some youtube videos. Not really my thing but I recall Jem saying the new album would be different so shall reserve my opinion for that  ;)

Did Frank Zappa just join Queen?

Steve Feb 1, 2012 01:51 PM
That's fun. Reminds me a bit of Queen in some ways

Brendan Leber Feb 1, 2012 03:02 PM
If I may be so bold to suggest a cover of this needs to made.

Speaking of covers is there a way one could get a legal version of the Frost* cover of "Here is the News?"

Brendan

max Feb 1, 2012 03:04 PM
This explains so much!

gr8gonzo Feb 1, 2012 04:42 PM
The only thing surprising about this is that you haven't done a cover of it yet. I shall expect to hear this before any future gigs. =)

Sounds like Brian May's guitar work. If you were about 9 it could fit

Defined benefits of this kind are important, especially in the Home Counties where they are placed uppermost. For example, in Surry they always put the fringe on top!

Never mind about all that.... did you know that ....

Oh sod all that.......

This is blooming brilliant news.  :D What a gig and then some!! :D  If I'm not mistaken most G3 happenings give birth to a DVD and a CD. I'll look forward to that. Fantastic! Hope they come to the UK, I have been a big fan of Mr. Morse right from the day I heard "Take it off the top" playing in a record shop in Swansea in the late 70's, quite a while before Tommy Vance got hold of it.

Is this also the news that involves Blunders?? (Says he, probably behind the times again)

Jem said earlier on Twitter... "Momentous moment! Just programmed my first Combi on the Kronos for the Vai G3 set!"

So I guess his rig is his own. I suppose doing the whole European leg of the tour means he's not just depping for a few nights.

Mike was slated to do the tour for obvious reasons, but he's busy with another project that he needs to do so I am doing the whole tour and I am playing keys for Joe and Steve plus the G3 jam at the end. Ironically I think it makes me the musician onstage most of all.  :lol:

Not sure if we're coming to the UK currently. I'm still hoping ONE DAY I'll get to play the bloody Hammersmith Odeon!

I'm using a Kronos 61 and a Kronos 73.  :D

Nothing against Mike's rig, but as this is bizarrely "my" tour I figured I could use synths I was more comfortable with. The SV-1 is more of a performance instrument whereas I like to faff about with zones and samples and what not. As you know.  ;)

Steve in particular is very happy for me to move the keyboard parts back towards the album interpretations so I've been doing a lot of listening to albums out of phase these last couple of weeks!  :lol:

Hey Jem, could you get the lapsteel going? or the Skeletone? Make it a G4?  :lol:

I'm sure everyone would love to see a report, especially to see if those Americanas understand the humour! From TPE, I got the impression that for Mr. D. Virgillio, it was almost a second language he was learning.

Bit confused by this (maybe as I'm not familiar to the albums) but does this mean you'll be re-interpretating the original albums or is there a special case for G3 where you have to play things differently?  :?

Nah it means he's going to invert the output of one Kronos so that it's out of phase with the other one.

Oh, that just struck me, although I noticed it before.
The old OLD blog is completely gone. I remember some good, interesting and funny moments from that.

Well, that's Frost*, never looking back. Evolution in action. :D

The man said it himself - he's posting with MacJournal now and hasn't gotten around to sorting the bells and whistles, assuming they're sortable at all. If he can change the settings for comments, I imagine he will. Or not.

And, he didn't say it would be the last time ever for playing Milliontown, just the last time for a long time. Can't blame him, really. To be honest, I'm surprised he's doing it. I didn't think he wanted to play it anymore. Plus, as he pointed out, playing epics live is such a time suck. I think it's generally preferable to have as long a setlist as possible.

Well, well (one for each album). Meets with my approval, most definitely, although I'd slightly disagree with Jem on the indigestibility of double albums: Topographic Oceans remains a perfect example, for me.

That said, single albums in the LP days were only 45 minutes long usually, and if the two parts of F*** are closer to an hour each, as is more typical for CDs, then he could be right.

And having just listened to one of Wilf's European Perspective podcasts while out riding along the dune road to Zandvort this afternoon, perhaps like Big Big Train and English Electric, there'll be a special edition version of both parts of F*** issued together later, along with bonus material ... no pressure  8-)

In any case, bring 'em on, I say: can't wait. Almost impossible to believe that it will have been 5 years since EIMA ...

(BTW, I've noticed that the Blog dial link on the website front page doesn't point to Jem's new blog page: could that be fixed?)

What a good idea! A simple way of letting new fans get hold of the wondreful TPE and a way of providing some more income to Jem.  He has confuddled me a little though saying that TPE was "a double album plus a DVD and all with glam full colour artwork etc etc. "  Did I miss something?!  :?   TPE was a double CD - with free T-shirt thrown in - but I'm sure the only DVD to date was on the deluxe version of EIMA, with all the Frost* reports...

Anyhoo, looking forward to Jem uploading "lots of oddities and spare knick knacks that I have lying about, a sort of B-Sides and rarities collection as soon as I get a chance to."  I can feel the credit card getting nervous already!  8-)
Title: Re: Blog!!
Post by: Mooncat on February 01, 2013, 03:03:28 PM
Well my version of TPE has a DVD. :D

Contents included all of the pre gig Frost reports (with Jordan Rudess playing the iphone, rehearsal footage with NDV etc)
and the 5.1 mix of  'The Dividing Line'. Is it not also the 'home' to the instrumental snippet of '1976'???
Title: Re: Blog!!

The original TPE has 3 discs in it, one of which is the DVD thingy. The digital download only has the music bits.

Got to admit my brain filled in a "have" (or possibly a "get") and didn't bother alerting my conscious mind to the editorial liberties. Odd that that can happen with the written word for me, but would *never* happen with something I hear. Is that everyone, or is it me? Is it because I am a musician and audio engineer, or am I that because my brain works a certain way?

I'm thinking it is probably everyone since...

Agreed, though. Veteran Frost*ies are all very aware that plans change in the Frost*iverse and Jem piles work upon himself at times to his own detriment. Despite the best laid plans, we know to temper our enthusiasm with an occasional biscuit solo. And that's perfectly fine. Much to look forward to.

And for me, the (admittedly vague ;)) promise of a real tour in Europe (and beyond) raises the possibility of Frost* at De Boerderij in Zoetermeer ... would be very, very welcome (although I imagine that I'd miss the UK-based Frost*ies who may not want to travel).
