I fucking love "Yours Is No Disgrace" so damn much. What a beautiful, beautiful song. Howe's playing on the whole Yes Album just blows me away.
I grew listening to WIOT out of Toledo, Ohio, and when 90120 came out they used to play "Our Song" all the time because it had that line "Toledo is just another stop along the good king's highway". Like, they actually thought it was about Toledo, Ohio!!

Your mention of the "Owner Of A Lonely Heart" video reminded me there was one version that had a guy with maggots crawling around on top of his closed eyelids. Did "Fear Factor" rip off this idea? I think MTV stopped showing that version.

would that ilm actually were a bit more yessed out.

at a booth that sells vocoder software there is a man earnestly saying in a silvery, elven speaking voice reminiscent of Glinda the Good Witch "no, no, NO, you don't understand. I want to make my computer-" and here he erupts into a shivery high melodious flutter "s-i-i-iing!" and it's HIM and he's singing the word "sing" in THAT Yes voice.

I just watched some of that DVD "The Future Is Wild", the cheezy computer animated forecast of what freakish species will dominate this planet in 200 million years. It was very Yessed out too, CGI supercontinent-formation footage and giant global oceans (topographic tales of .. .)

that rolling stone interview series is so good, binge-read all of them and desperately want more, was not a fan of the addition of Benoit David at the time but he sounds like a great guy that did everything he could, I get Anderson not wanting to do Drama material, I guess, but I wonder why he didn't want to do Astral Traveller

Some of that kind of stuff I remember pretty vividly from that book by the drummer for Semisonic, how the other two guys had already been in the other band, Trip Shakespeare, and were much more world weary and battle-hardened.

Always think that singing is- like guitar but more so- kind of deceptively easy to start on - everyone can do a little something! - but then really, really hard to do at a high level. Bass on the other hand, particularly electric bass, is a very logical and straightforward instrument. You still have to put in a lot of work to be at the top of the game but the practice throughput is much higher. So somebody playing a lot of fast and loud notes all over the place on the skinny neck of a Rickenbacker giving someone else a hard time, I dunno about that.

that jon anderson with todmobile concert is really something
was checking out a solo jon anderson show the other night and like, I can't imagine what fresh hell it would be to play yes with just an acoustic guitar, probably helps that he sang/co-wrote the tunes but he really does an admirable job, would see a solo jon show in a heartbeat

sometimes my favorite yes is Drama yes, and I wish they had leaned more into that era a decade ago when that was the lineup, with a ringer on vox, tho presumably even trevor horn realized that was a mistake as he re-recorded the vocals himself later
and I get that trevor horn was never going to tour the countryside singing in yes for funsies, but it might have been cool to somehow keep him on as the brian wilson and have a bruce johnston to play the county fair or whatever
anyways steve howe's yes is fine I guess, it sounds kind of like yes, I admire that they are still bothering to write new music at least
― Florin Cuchares, Friday, 10 March 2023 19:07 (two weeks ago) link
I really like the cover, I think some of Dean's newer work looks different because it doesn't have the same textured detail? I didn't like his new version of a Uriah Heep album I bought recently, it wasn't an improvement and I wonder why he changed it?
