Art Weekend - Swirl Plate by Tim Alexander

Working out of a remote studio on an island on the Canadian side of Lake Superior, Tim Alexander often echoes the natural landscape around him in his pottery. His high-firing kiln methods often make it difficult to use many colors but celadon greens, coppery reds, and iron-rich blacks are prominent and used for forest and water motifs. One of the important elements of Alexander's works, and that of pottery, is the practically and functionality and he has said that a piece cannot be fully understood until you are able to handle it yourself.

Given that most Primus songs are fairly complex, "The Toys Go Winding Down" is something of an outlier. Les apparently wrote the main hook just trying to create a classic metal crunch. The song is a little weirder than that, but you definitely hear the metal in it.

Plus, this recording is visually just maximum early 90s.

Tim 'Herb' Alexander Reveals Why He Stop Primus: Interview

Tim “Herb” Alexander desires everybody to know he’s okay. Days earlier, Primus — the drummer’s now-former band — introduced in an announcement that Alexander had “abruptly” give up the band, main followers to take a position about his well being. “I’m feeling actually good,” Alexander — who suffered two coronary heart assaults practically a decade in the past, along with the wear and tear of…

VHS Archives #148: RUSH Inducted Into the Juno Hall of Fame - 1994 Juno Awards / w Tom Cochrane, Mike Myers, Sebastian Bach, the Tragically Hip & more!

In 1994, Rush were inducted to the Canadian Music Hall of Fame, after a mere 20 years as a recording band.  Not bad for three nerds from Southern Ontario.  I had my VCR running that night, and this is the whole segment, complete and uncut, with all introductions and fades, unlike other copies on YouTube.  Tom Cochrane was selected to induct them. “Tonight we’re here to blow the lid off our three…

Smash, Pass, Trash: Mer De Noms by A Perfect Circle

Disclaimer: Completely subjective opinion! Remember that before you bully me 😦

Pros?

One of the most interesting rock records I heard, with an initial lineup that connects musical history. Paz Lenchantin, Troy Van Leeuwan, Tim Alexander, Josh Freese… All musicians I grew up admiring and being influenced by, not including the bands they’ve all been a part of at some point. The musicality of Billy Howerdel with the melodies of Maynard James Keenan make this one of my favorite records of all time. The softer sides mixes tremendously with the rock side, blending the swooning and the headbanging.

Cons?

Really hard to hate this record besides not being used to it. I only liked the heavier stuff when I was younger, and it took me a minute to actually appreciate the crescendos in the songs. I guess that the only bad thing about the album is that it takes a minute to appreciate. You HAVE to sit down and listen to it, or if you’re like me and listen on the go whenever you walk to – no unnecessary interruptions. Oh, and if you don’t like experimentation in your music and want everything to sound like everything AC/DC has done for their entire career.

Afterthoughts?

I first heard “Judith” off of Guitar Hero 5 and loved it a lot. The religious imagery connecting with Maynard’s personal struggle with his mother resonated with my own fleeting beliefs on organized religion – seeing how I was in catholic schools growing up after elementary. “3 Libras” was the next track I wanted to hear because I was a Libra, and I liked the direction. Later, I didn’t give this album the time of day until I finally did, and stuck to the harder tracks. The album grew on me, and I highly appreciated every song in the end. Album has no wrong to me.

Rating Scale: Smash, Pass, or Trash

Rating: HARD SMASH

I like every song, and every song has its place – how a perfect album should be.

6 / 5 (Based off my The Music Checklist)
