there's some new stuff on a 2-3 daily basis, so I thought I'd mention it, as not many others have commented. In particular I think some folks might not have understood the reference to Jem's chair. Or possibly Gem's chair, I don't remember. He doesn't seem to post on The View From The Cube, but here:-

Today it's pix of long ago, supporting Pallas, for those that saw them (I didn't)

I just think this is so cool. And no-one at the Grauniad has even realized we can now kicks the Klingons arse anytime we want.

On planetfrost. My connection is rubbish so I don't know what it's about but Jem's smiling face is there

Tweet from @planetfrost

@PlanetFrost: 31 days till Celebr8. The programming starts next week. Also on the verge of setting up a Pledge account. Would you pledge?

I said yes

2 things:-

1) it's unlucky to take down Xmas stuff after 12th night so I suspect we're stuck with Mickey's twinkling lights  :lol:  8-)

2) a mate of mine said his oven went down Xmas day. He says he did the turkey in the dishwasher. I suspect it's possibly do-able but does anyone else rckon I'm being wound up?

Someone has posted these YouTube vids on Synthtopia

Right, to take this section down a notch or a few this is not about the latest Korg/Roland etc. I dusted down my Yamaha E403 (which, to my knowledge has never been sold at Toys'R'Us, although it's little brother the 303 has) yet again, in an attempt to learn to play a keyboard of some discription. While searching for the power bit I found something marked USB and wondered what it was for.  Turns out it's for MIDI. I plugged my iPad in through the camera kit and now I've got a proper synth! Much easier for my chunky fingers to play. I can even assign splits and some functions to the 2 knobs! Big time chuffed.

All I've got to do now is learn how to do adjust this split thingy. Oh and learn to play it :roll: Still happy days

Came across this lot today. They're free to use. Don't know how useful they are but...

Our glorious leader is being gainfully employed by Messrs Satriani, Vai & Morse. There's some stuff on YouTube. TauRush2, whoever he may be, has posted stuff from the Hamburg gig, including a stonking version of Cream's "White Room" with guess who handling lead vocals, too

"Starting to plan the 2013 gig strategy. I forsee exciting things...UK, Europe, USA.

What we need.... is a manager! Preferably one that isn't a thinly disguised saddo. I've met a lot of them over the years..."

Quote from Planet Frost for those who don't bother with twitter. Don't know how serious he is but fingers crossed, especially if there is a new album to promote    

   

Korg have reduced their price (temporarily ) to £10.99. So I bought it (new toy, 50th birthday pressie). I have no clue as to what I'm doing but it's loads of fun!

Recent concert of a new choral work she was commissioned to do:a soundtrack to a 70 year old film. It can be seen here

It's all choral with her doing some vocals

I like her and I love choral music but.... well, make your own mind up

And guess who's partially responsible for this?

Ps he warns prog lovers not to listen! Still, #1 in the States? Can't be ALL bad  :lol:  

Im just sending my apologies for not attending the AGM. It was never likely trecking down and a sinus operation made me glad I didn't try to score a ticket. For those going I hope you all have a blast. And Happy Xmas.

Complete with guest appearance of the Kronos but mainly a splendidly demented Fender Rhodes.      

SOS.

Seems to be in a productive mood. Website has a link to "Everyday" from his new DVD, recorded live with cameras AND a microphone (sorry Jem!). In addition his latest blog has 4 snippits from his next opus
