how's it going shawn? still kicking it?

Haha, yeah, it would match a lot of fast songs. Anyway, keep up the good work.

Now this is going to sound totally random and obscure to you, but I was listen to this particular song: (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-bAN7Ts0xBo) when I came across one of your posts. And I noticed that the beat matches with the butt shaking guy in your avatar! Holy smoke!

Hey man how's it going? Been awhile.

MERRY CHRISTMAS!

hahaha

Hey, just wanted to say that I like your avatar. I used to listen to a lot of Crimson. "Lizard" is my fav album.

Eh! Neil Young bashing?
*runs over*

"I occasionally meet people with the same weird taste in music as I, but I've never talked to anyone who liked King Crimson, Genesis and Yes that wasn't at least 50 years old."

That's pretty much my life in a nutshell. But yay for having someone to talk old prog rock with!

But yes, got it all from my dad. Supposedly he went to one of Gabriel's first concerts in Nathan Phillips Square, and since less than 100 people went, they all got free records or something like that. And he's seen early Rush, Frank Marino and Mahogany Rush, Camel, Gentle Giant, ... yeah. I've asked him at least once every week which bands he's seen in concert; and I'm convinced he's seen every single band. Ever. Except Steely Dan. They played some casino near us, and I went ballistic; but was too young to go. Jeeez, eh? And he played baseball with Tom Cochrane, and was in the studio when Golden Earring recorded Moontan. (I need to get him to register here, man.)

But other than music; how are you doing?

I'm actually 16.
And eh! I grew up on early Genesis, King Crimson, Steely Dan, Yes, Gentle Giant--the whole lot.
And then I finally saw Genesis reunited, thinking they'd do some Trick of the Tail stuff, but NAAAHHHH. It was all 'doo doo doo ABACAB'.

Ah; I forgot you were downtown! I am leaving the country very soon at the end of December - looks like it will be for a few years.

I can't +rep you anymore because I haven't posted enough recently, but I just wanted to commend you for your Prop8/Olbermann thread. Shows you are a man. Very nicely done.
