Do you dream about music?

such rage?!

I know...

The Rolling Stones played a surprise show, first in a shopping mall and then somehow at a small stage in a fairgrounds. The only member I saw with any detail was a very mid-70s-looking Bill Wyman in a powder-blue suit (surely inspired by an ILM post from a week or two ago). Somehow, despite the show starting in front of me, I kept finding myself at a distance from the stage, or behind obstacles, or walking towards the show from a distance. First song was a very dispirited "Jumping Jack Flash", second was a new Keith-sung country ballad, which left me thinking, "what a terrible setlist choice".
When I finally found myself standing parallel to the stage, my wife was the only person in front, walking at a diagonal away from the stage and ignoring the music. I thought "I know the new album wasn't a giant hit but I expected someone would watch them"; I felt bad for the Rolling Stones.

I dreamed I was a hugely talented and celebrated singer/guitarist, and onstage I performed a transcendent version of Radiohead’s “Fake Plastic Trees” in the style of Jeff Buckley.

(Then I Googled when I woke up; apparently a live Buckley performance was key to how the band recorded the song?)

I think I posted this elsewhere, but I dreamed I was in a record store and a beautiful song was playing that I eventually recognized as a Dolly Parton cover of Jackson Browne's "Before the Deluge." I still think of this from time to time and am sad that it doesn't exist.

kinda wanna hear the dream version of Fake Plastic Trees, ngl

It sounded pretty awesome! But then the dream shifted after a verse or so

a beautiful song was playing

One of my goals in the summer of 1987 was to find a vinyl copy of Trout Mask Replica, which I hadn't heard. One night I dreamt I was listening to it in my local library, but what I was hearing was a weird pastiche/distortion of "Lay Lady Lay".

I'm always amazed at how the dreaming mind can produce words on a page or sounds off a record spontaneously out of nothing.

...dreamt I was doing dental work on saul williams... but it was part of a recording session... I just had to kind of tap on his molars with this little gold implement...

No, thankfully my brain allows me the mercy of a nightly 5-8 hour break from thinking about music

I dreamt I was looking up a record on Wikipedia: All the Girls Love Alice, by a late 60s pop/folksinger apparently known just as Alice. The top part of the cover contains the title, black on white in a thick font, with the songs listed underneath. The bottom part of the cover is a photo taken of a crimson bed in a colourful room from an elevated position. Alice looks like Anna Karina in Pierrot le Fou and is sitting up against the headboard, singing. Sitting to her right is a blonde, bearded man with a classical guitar (Wiki says that "his reputation eventually recovered" from his playing on this album). There are also two female fans on the bed, one lying against Alice's legs and staring into the distance in a trance, the other sitting to Alice's left, by the edge of the bed and listening intently.
I then proceeded to dream about writing this description on ILM.

Irl lolz at Slowsquatch's dream

irl lolz at the Alice dream

just dreamed that i was at a school sort of symposium, like someone was being elected or something, and actually i think i was running. but also i was doing coke in the bathroom, or trying to and the coke kept spilling out of my bag. then during a break from all the speeches, KRISTIN HERSH played a banger set, and Drew Barrymore decided to interview the lot of us afterward to get our thoughts on her. i was super nervous. the end. pretty sure i just dreamed this dream so i could post itt.
