Thanks for the showcase, TH.
Isn't it about time someone showcased you?

You're welcome man, and thanks but I think with my fourth journal now going on line and over a hundred thousand views, people know enough about me without having me hog the Showcase too!

Update for week ending June 9 2013
Oh wow! It's so hot here today (no, I haven't unexpectedly relocated to the Azores!) that I almost can't face typing this update, but hey, who else is going to do it? Oh well, rain forecast tomorrow so back to normal. Meanwhile let's see what's been coming out of the chimneys of the houses of the good folk down in Journal Land.
Well, for a start there are two brand new journals and the return of an old one, so let's mosey on down through these streets and look in some doors, eh? Antonio is looking at some "songs he's diggin'" over at http://www.musicbanter.com/members-j...ng-ground.html, one of which is Captain Beyond, whom we looked at in the Prog Rock Album Club some time ago. I wasn't particularly impressed with that album, but obviously Antonio was. Maybe you should join the PRAC, Ant? The Batlord has been updating all three of his journals this week, and in his latest, http://www.musicbanter.com/members-j...-fidelity.html, he's reached page pages 38 and 39 (slow reader. eh Batty?) and is quite annoyed to find that the Licorice Comfits are just a made-up band, so consoles himself by listening to one that does exist, the Lemonheads. Meanwhile in http://www.musicbanter.com/members-j...lks-about.html, seems like he's had enough girly pop for now and has returned to his first love, death metal, with demos from Embalmed, Morbid (seeing a pattern here?) and, er, Eructation. Is that even a word? Of course he always has to go to http://www.musicbanter.com/members-j...t-schemes.html where he's talking about Dave Mustaine. Well, more laughing at, really... Big Ears meanwhile, not content with doing a pretty in-depth review in the PRAC of Ambrosia's debut album (our current project) has an even more detailed one in http://www.musicbanter.com/members-j...s-journal.html, so head there to read all about it. Gavin B, always a great source of information and education on music, is talking about "The decline of western civilisation", another punk cult movie in http://www.musicbanter.com/members-j...use-songs.html while Ladyislingering's http://www.musicbanter.com/members-j...ic-memory.html is concentrating on, well, ladies this week, with Blondie, Pat Benatar and the Go-Gos on offer. Not literally, sadly... Pedestrian does a rare album review, and going by this one it's a shame she doesn't do more. It's the new one from The Knife, and you can find it if you go http://www.musicbanter.com/members-j...sswalking.html Complete with snappy new title, Screen 13 is back in the http://www.musicbanter.com/members-j...all-music.html and looking at the Comsat Angels, which he describes as an epic fail. Want to know why? Step this way... Three years later duga is updating his journal, telling us all about http://www.musicbanter.com/members-j...-got-here.html, with a review of Savage Garden. Hope to hear more from ya soon mate! And this week I doggedly buck the trend and make history again (read, show off) by opening my fourth journal, a feat until now thought impossible ... whaddya mean, yeah yeah, get on with it you toss...? Oh, okay. Well, before we get to that, what's been happening at http://www.musicbanter.com/members-j...d-journal.html? Not much to be fair: a review of ELO's "Face the music" is all I could muster (and you want to do ANOTHER journal???) although in http://www.musicbanter.com/members-j...-emporium.html there's been considerably more happening, with a review of the classic comedy "The odd couple", as well as (finally) episode two of the Onedin Line, and also an offbeat look at some of the ugliest spaceships in science-fiction history! As for that new journal, well it's all about http://www.musicbanter.com/members-j...ver-heard.html, with the first on the chopping block being that well-known and respected second album from My Bloody Valentine, "Loveless" -- can't say I'm too impressed (what's that crowd angrily coming towards me with pitchforks and burning torches?), while next up is ZZ's classic "Tres hombres". Much to listen to! It's 1976 in http://www.musicbanter.com/members-j...y-history.html and Unknown Soldier is looking at albums by the Ian Gillan Band and some crowd called Piper? Check it out and learn things you did not know, as well as hear music you should! Urban has posted the full list of Melody Maker's top albums in http://www.musicbanter.com/members-j...79-2000-a.html but some of them he doesn't have. I'm sure he'd appreciate it if you can help him out. What? No he doesn't bite. So far as I know. and that leaves us with one more journal, the other new one I spoke of. Say hello to the newest member of our Journal Land residence, Yorkedaddy, who has started a journal in which http://www.musicbanter.com/members-j...used-hate.html. Great idea! So far he's already hit up "Rumours" by Fleetwood Mac and "vertigo" by Boxcar. Interesting outcomes, to say the least. Which takes us to our Showcase for this week. So, who shall it be? Well, I'd like to move back to page two and introduce you to someone who's certainly active, though not enough for my liking. Ladies and gentlebeings, meet He's been doing his journal on and off for nearly three years now, and as a fellow Irishman I think he deserves a little encouragement and praise. Also, with a name starting with Z he's destined to always be the last on any update, unless that new guy Zggfftt starts a journal, but I think it's hard to write when you have pseudopods instead of fingers! Here's the kind of thing our man Zero is capable of: Quote:
Till next week at the same time, Toodles!

A little note: Actually, it was the Land and 7 Day Weekend albums, which had overproduction on Jive's side of the program, a featured a lot of packaging. The first three albums are all great but when they stepped into the ring of the Mid-80's Music Machine, it was a rough ride. 4 Singles from one album that did not do much is pretty strong,
