Peter Gabriel

finally able to talk to squirrels via my pgabphone

^^ rejected "Big Time" lyric

I always enjoy it when elder statesmen musicians become tech evangelists/futurists

Gabriel going to send a CD-ROM installer of the new album to every address.

Todd Rundgren was a pretty fun one of those, dude was a pioneer of both the Philips CD-i and the Amiga Video Toaster, plus he actually built an early version of Patreon (I guess?) back in the late nineties

PatroNet.com has launched Todd Rundgren's revolutionary new software, The Interocitor, for the delivery of creative content, way beyond just downloading music. This on-line service allows Todd to establish a relationship with his fans in a way that will bring artist and patron closer than ever before possible. For only $40.00 a year you can have access to Todd like you have always wanted but never could before.
The Interocitor is a multiple channel, 3D environment that will include:

1. No longer wait two years for a new CD, get the music as soon as Todd records it. Hear the new CD "One Long Year", also available see several new flash animation that accompany a few songs.
2. Live and taped concert web casts. Footage from the current "Power Trio" tour, see Kasim fall and break his leg on stage. Stop into the Tiki Room's cocktail lounge before watching a show from "With A Twist" tour. Order a tropical refreshment from our friendly bartender served in a Tiki God cup. Check out the Mai Tai Museum while there.
3. Games based on Todd and Utopia's music. Help Todd climb to the top of the pyramid to save Singring from eternal imprisonment in the glass guitar while Roger, Kasim and Willie try to stop him. Or play a game of "Concentration" using sound bites from all of Todd's solo albums.
4. The House Of Fashion, archiving the many colorful stage costumes Todd has worn throughout his career. Photos spanning Todd's career and life. Fans will have the ability to submit and have their photos of Todd hung in the gallery as well.
5. The Castle of Mystery where you can get your deepest and darkest questions answered. Find out if you can levitate Todd.
6. Live chats with Todd. Receive post cards and e-mail from Todd himself. (in 1999 he sent out the "Twelve E-mails Of Christmas")
7. Surprises on every wall, you will just have to explore and experiment.
(not all the content listed will be available right at the launch)
Check out what all the excitement is about at www.patronet.com.

Join Todd! Come Closer!! Peer over his shoulder!!!

wow that's interesting. has Pampeldouche ever acknowledged this?

Prince was such a tech futurist that he seemed to compulsively give up on each new format or medium before anyone even had a chance to adopt them.

When Ralph Gabriel was not delivering cables he was a technician in research and development for the Rediffusion Company in Hastings, where he designed the first fiber-optic cable-TV system. Called Dial-a-Program, a prototype was installed for experimental purposes in the medical department of Case Western Reserve in Ohio.

“Unfortunately, the patent only lasted for fifteen years,” says Gabriel, “and the potential of cable TV was hardly recognized at the time. A lot of brilliant study was not made use of or capitalized on—extremely frustrating for my father.”

i remember gabriel's cd-roms being super lawnmower man futuristic

I like panopticom!

eve was an interesting thing I played around with for a while

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_Gabriel:_Eve

would be cool if roms of this were available on the web. maybe they are.

dang, i had Eve as a kid when a friend's father bought it on remainder

Mobile phone are apparently bad.

Plus a further 'here's what's up'

I'm afraid to listen. Why is this the second one designated "monkey butt mix" or whatever? Are these not the album versions?

He's releasing 'Dark Side' and 'Bright Side' mixes of each song

But are either them the actual album mix? I just want to know if I'm not liking these remixes or not liking these songs..

he hasn't said which of the mixes will make he album. the dark mixes are by Tchad Blake and the Bright ones by someone else. I prefer the dark mix of the first song by some measure.

this song is cool!

Monkey butt mix ftw

is that the mix that's meant to be heard in a closed bathroom

he hasn't said which of the mixes will make he album. the dark mixes are by Tchad Blake and the Bright ones by someone else

Really liking the new songs and hearing the different versions. Trying not to listen to the lyrics (come on Peter, "PanopticoM"?)

US and Canada tour dates have been announced:

Plus, new song

He's tended his pipes remarkably well hasn't he

Of all his prereleased tracks, that one worked the best for me

$140 for the cheapest tickets at the Forum - that's double what I paid for decent seats at the Hollywood Bowl show with Sting in 2016. That's really disappointing.

I looked into pre-sales of several shows I was interested in this week, including Wu-Tang, Buddy Guy's farewell tour and Peter Gabriel, and at minimum you had to pay at least $100 for any of them, even for the worst seats in gigantic venues. I get the impression ticket prices may have inflated after last year's ridiculous market for concerts. I may switch gears and just frequent the local jazz clubs this summer.

Wow, nothing cheaper than $110 in Philly. I want to go - I have a soft spot for Peter Gabriel - but I am already shelling out for Depeche Mode tickets.

He's tended his pipes remarkably well hasn't he

Tbf, he may have recorded the vocals 20 years ago!

Sounds like the end credits song of a film about an eminent English scientist slowly succumbing to Alzheimer’s

good song; he played this on the back to front tour as 'daddy long legs', it's better with actual lyrics now. also snagged tickets; too expensive, assuming it's the last time I'll ever see him.

got tickets for his October show here...pretty excited. Not cheap but I guess pretty reasonable in the current climate. Got 6th row of the first deck for $110 each + bullshit.

I'm going too! Glad he scheduled a Twin Cities date so I didn't have to arrange a whole trip out of state to see him.

yeah I had almost pulled the trigger on Chicago

L-R: Don Johnson, Peter Gabriel, Tony Levin

the best Genesis lineup imo

Needs more Glenn Frey

I dunno, I was never a fan of the “Glennesis” era of the band tbh

Wrapped up in some powdered wool-I guess I'm losing touch.
Don't tell me I'm dying, 'cause I ain't changed that much.
The only sound is water drops, I wonder where the hell I am

"Do it just the way we planned
You be cool for twenty hours and I'll pay you twenty grand"

I'm sorry it went down like this
And someone had to lose, it's the nature of the business

Glennesis, roffles

You can check out of the home by the sea any time you like, but you can never leave

There's gonna be a heartache tonight, o lord

Glennesis rules

Yeah but what about Don HenEsis?

This is the end of Don HenEsis

All she wants to do is dance (and she can't)

Selling Laurel Canyon by the Pound

Lulz

Desperadomino

For context:

classic ep. so many terrible line readings

Okay I was pretty happy with "DesperaDomino" until I remembered this is a Gabriel thread, so I ought to focus on Gabriel/Eagles confluences, as opposed to Genesis/Eagles confluence.

Here's the best I could come up with:

"Biko, sweet darling, you get the best of my love"

In Your Lyin' Eyes?

^ very good, bravo Josh
