On February 8th, 2019, the world was in the grip of the Polar Vortex. But in Salem Oregon, we were in the grip on “Winter Weather Fever,” a condition that only exists when everyone assumes that we will have frozen streets and layers on snow, only to become incredibly disappointed.
With all signs pointing to YES, we decided to reschedule our lives guests (clownfisher and Ark Noelle), and instead offer a Winter Storm Watch 2019, where I could broadcast from the comfort of the Lava Lamp Lounge, monitor the weather, and see if all the hubbub was actually anything to sneeze at.
In the end, we all know the answer: it just rained. But, in a turn of events that I was somewhat thankful for, it did get incredibly cold and slippery, with roads at freezing conditions, so I felt justified in not making the journey to the station, and was very happy I didn’t ask a band to travel in weather like that, either.
There will always be other shows to do, and this gave me a chance to dream (for a while, anyway) that we would get getting massive snowdrifts, piles of white falling from the sky, and an army of snowmen as I look down the street to see how my neighbors were doing. None of that came to pass, but during this show, maybe you can hear some of my excitement, as I stroll through some recently acquired synth records from the past.
Enjoy!

Najnoviji uradak britanskog prog/post rock projekta Crippled Black Phoenix jest 40 minuta variranja glazbene ostavštine kulta zvanog Pink Floyd; izvedenog u formi 30-minutne verzije skladbe “Echoes” uz dodatak Gilmourove “Childhood’s End”. Ostavite po strani dvojbe treba li coverima plaćati danak naslijeđu najprogresivnijeg sastava ikad, jer Justin Greaves, odnosno Crippled Black Phoenix (a po potrebi i reducirani duet Se Delan) jako dobro znaju na čijim temeljima grade svoj glazbeni doživljaj, a to rade vrlo uspješno!
