In 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

45 yrs later to the day, button is still with me, sitting there to remind me to be creative/original/experimental. I remember where I was when I first heard Games without Frontiers playing loudly from a passing car with its top down. I bought the cassette that day. @itspetergabriel.bsky.social

Being 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

Recent travels took me by these scenes of resistance. All on a weekdays. Not part of national organized protests. The first is rural New England afternoon, 2nd overpass in MD morning, & 3rd scene-no pic-at least 100 protestors in front of Tesla dealership, Mawa NJ, rt. 17, Wednesday afternoon.

Born to synthesize back on the land: one of the lesser- known influences Roger Powell had on Todd; a specially designed hose nozzle for broader watering. Creem Mag, Oct. 75, described the nozzle in this pic as Powell-designed for Todd. @toddrundgren.bsky.social @synthsky.bsky.social

Creem 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.

Creem Magazine AWATS ad 6/1973. 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

Creem Magazine, from Detroit, printed this article on new, portable synths reshaping the sound of Rock music in Dec. 1973. Creem hated prog music and tried for years to ignore it, reviewed some albums w: "synthesizers D-" Unhappily dragged into the future they were. @synthsky.bsky.social

Please Don't Touch, released 47 yrs ago today. The Beatles' newspaper of record gave it a big thumbs up! Carry on Up the Vicarage was magic from my first needle drop. A mix-tape favorite! Liverpool Daily Post (Merseyside ed., Liverpool, Merseyside, England) 5/13/78 @stevehacketthq.bsky.social

With Harvard's Lightsound device, that transfers light energy to sound (sonification), the eclipse of 2024 was made accessible to people with impaired vision...hearing the eclipse happen by the changing tone (totality triggered a low insect like rattle). This is my customized "Anne & Betty" model.

It's the thought that counts! Vermont & Canada are integrally connected, and no regime of bigoted dolts and assholes will change that. The loudest voice in the crowd was an 80+ yr old Canadian woman singing her anthem with full voiced pride. #Handsoff #Protests

Sept. 75, meet the new band out of Forest Hills, the Ramones. A formative time for NYC punk. The Heartbreakers, a new band heard at CBGBs, state the punk attitude: "We belong to the blank generation". They disappear, the Ramones do not. Rock Scene, Sept. 75 @punkrockhistory.bsky.social
