jthomas7.bsky.social @jthomas7.bsky.social · 26/10/2025In praise of The Musical Box! Such a rare gift to the fans of the early period. I appreciate their rare existence more every time I see them. Curious to know what the original members think about their 50+ yrs old creative output being lovingly honored in reenactment? @genesisnews.bsky.social 020

jthomas7.bsky.social @jthomas7.bsky.social · 08/07/2025@stevehacketthq.bsky.social I've just learned of the Ornamental Hermit era in Britain and how did that the interesting character not show-up on SEBTP or earlier recordings!? What a classic-Genesis sort of figure! Also, a great band name! www.smithsonianmag.com/history/orna...smithsonianmag.comOrnamental Hermits Were 18th-Century England's Must-Have Garden AccessoryWealthy landowners hired men who agreed to live in isolation on their estates for as long as seven years 010

jthomas7.bsky.social @jthomas7.bsky.social · 29/05/2025Being a deep fan of a period of a band that I never saw is a bit of an aching mystery. This ramshackle bldg. is a place where Genesis, early 1972, learned the Italians loved the band's music. Imagining that amazing long-ago experience fuels my imagination! @stevehacketthq.bsky.social 000

jthomas7.bsky.social @jthomas7.bsky.social · 01/05/2025Creem Mag 1/1974, featured a century timeline of the recording industry that had culminated in quad sound. The Quad section features a bong in use-good accurate detail. The role of weed/drug-altered perception in fueling certain developments; 15 min drum solos come to mind. 000

Creem Magazine hated a lot of new music and really tried to ignore (or attack) prog & glam music--and had nothing good to say about synths, until AWATs came out and it blew their minds. Todd was described as the best player of the studio. @toddrundgren.bsky.social 010
