<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">While
we are busy working away stitching together the final bits and pieces of our
upcoming new show called the <b>"Women of Classic Prog,"</b> we thought it would be a great time
to pull out another one of our favorite past broadcasts, aptly entitled <b>"The
Really Big Prog Show."</b></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>

it certainly is, crammed full of all kinds of musical goodies including the
<b>Strawbs, X World 15, Diagonal, <st1:city w:st="on">Riverside</st1:city></b> and
even a little bit of <b>Emerson, <st1:place w:st="on">Lake</st1:place> and Palmer</b>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">If you want to hear the reason why <em><b>Prog Rock</b></em> magazine choose <b>Steve Hackett</b> as best progressive guitarist of the year, lend an ear to one of our favorite previous broadcasts entitled <b>“The Branches Of Genesis”</b>. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I can’t think of a better way to kick off the festivities than to feature a segment entirely dedicated to that rare breed known as <b>"shredders."</b> Yes, those guitar wizards that are faster than a speeding bullet and sometimes think that they can jump over tall buildings and don’t always play well with others.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Musical heroes, and in some instances villains, cut a large swath through the heart of modern music and its many diverse layers. Names like <b>Gilbert, Malmsteen, MacAlpine </b>and<b> Petrucci</b>, who stand toe to toe unleashing a pyrotechnic display of fret board virtuosity and sometimes even get around to penning the odd song or two. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">So step away from the sunscreen and beach umbrella and join co-hosts J Hoskins and guitar maverick and composer of the album, "Decade," <b><i>Jeff Pearson</i></b>, as they introduce you to a hybrid of Rock, Classical, Jazz and Alternative six string alchemists that define the very essence of what prog and progressive music is and what it continues to be …. <b><i>Fearless music .</i></b> </span><br />

the Extended Long Playing Record Show, dig into the musical morsel of our first
official Halloween Show, a ghoulish tribute to the late <b><i>Rue Morgue Radio.</i></b> </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt;">The show features special guest host singer and songwriter Nikki Benton, a woman who is intimately
acquainted with the various ins and outs of All Hallows Eve, both musically and
genre spherically.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt;">Join Nikki and regular host J Hoskins as they lead you
down dimly lit corridors and through creepy graveyards on a exciting program
featuring Alice Cooper, Ministry, Enno Morricone, The Cure, and lots of other
things that go bump in the night.</span></span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">Having been informed of the sudden end of the seven year run of Rue Morgue Radio, which aired their last transmission this past weekend, I thought it's a appropriate time to come clean about some recent developments.</span></div>
<div style="font: 12.0px Courier; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; min-height: 14.0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="font: 12.0px Courier; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">First Let's make it perfectly clear, the "Irrelevant Rock & Roll & Music Show" is not going off the air now or anytime in the near future. But let's face it: shit happens. And when it happens at our little rock and roll show it sometimes hits with the force of a Tornado and kicks like a freakin' mule.</span></div>
<div style="font: 12.0px Courier; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; min-height: 14.0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="font: 12.0px Courier; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">As well as breaking in a new co-host, a really added bonus was a particularly nasty and malicious computer virus that arrived just before Christmas which struck the Virtually Audio nerve center and laid waste to our post production facilities.</span></div>
<div style="font: 12.0px Courier; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; min-height: 14.0px;">

</span></div>
<div style="font: 12.0px Courier; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">So as we take a deep breath, survey the damage and attempt to right the broadcast boat, we are going to continue to do what we do best which is letting you know about great music and where to get it. </span></div>
<div style="font: 12.0px Courier; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">In preparation for Krafty's final regular show at the end of the month, and the debut of new co-host John Howarth, J and Krafty take a trip to the vaults to re-broadcast one of their favorite shows from last year: <b>"Once and Future Icons."</b></span></div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">On this show, Krafty reveals his strange obsession for <b>Lady Gaga</b> while navigating the music of <b>Jimmy Page</b>, <b>Bob Seger</b>, the awesome sound of the <b>Black Crowes</b>, the progressive blues of <b>Joe Bonnamassa</b>, and who knew <b>The Damned </b>could sound as relevant today as they did in the early eighties.</span></div>

Hoskins & guest host, Christopher Rutty (aka "Dr Prog"), continue their unique in-depth examination of the solo careers of ex-Genesis guitarists, Anthony Phillips and Steve Hackett. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The show picks up their parallel musical paths in the mid-1990s and traces their extensive studio album output to the present, closing the loop when Ant played on Steve's "Out of the Tunnel's Mouth" masterpiece. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> <br />
The distinctive paths of Phillips' and Hackett's post-Genesis musical journey clearly reflects, continues and expands on the original Genesis spirit they both helped forge. Moreover, as this special extended episode illustrates, their solo albums underscore a vital, yet sensitive, progressive music fearlessness that both of these guitar geniuses have maintained to this day. </span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">However, Part 2 of "The Branches of Genesis Show: Anthony Phillips & Steve Hackett" will be completed in another week or so and its sounding very good.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">In the meantime, you can browse through the many past episodes of the IRRMS that are listed along the left side of the blog, several of which are prog-focused.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Also, following in the more symphonic prog vein of Anthony Phillips, as well as Steve Hackett, I invite you to check out <b>"Willowglass."</b> </span><br />

</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Here is an excellent description of what you'll hear as outlined on <a href="http://www.progarchives.com/artist.asp?id=1694"><b>Progarchives.com:</b></a></span><br />
<br />
<blockquote><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">WILLOWGLASS is solo artist/multi-instrumentalist Andrew Marshall who lives in Yorkshire, England. Although involved in music from a young age and has played in various local groups over the last 20 years, the self-titled debut is his very first solo outing. Andrew's work blends 1970's style progressive rock with elements of classical music, adding a colourful palette of emotions & mood to his compositions, which have a uniquely English pastoral feel. It is clear that his inspiration has come from numerous symphonic prog rock bands since the 60s/70s and there are notable references to early GENESIS, YES, CAMEL and even a touch of PINK FLOYD thrown in for good measure.</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"> </span></i></blockquote><blockquote><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><i>The self-titled debut (2005) contains ten instrumental tracks recorded between September 2004 and April 2005, with lashings of mellotron, flute, 12-string acoustic & electric guitars. If you listen carefully you may find references to other works such as : CAMEL- "Rain Dances", GENESIS- "Selling England By The Pound", BARCLAY JAMES HARVEST - "Everyone Is Everybody Else" and YES - "Fragile". However, this is NOT just a hackneyed clone of past Classics, it is a sophisticated, graceful & intelligent interpretation of these, taking the lucky listener on a journey into lush green pastures where we can forget the busy world and almost believe we are back in 1970's again ...</i></span></blockquote><blockquote><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><i>HIGHLY RECOMMENDED to those who like any of the 1970's classic prog bands mentioned above and especially for those who like the style & mood of Anthony PHILLIPS' "The Geese & the Ghost".</i></span></blockquote><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

<br />
After a legendary 14-year run as a fixture on Toronto's Yonge Street and seen by many as one of this city's best used Record Stores, <b>Monster Records</b> closed its doors for the last time on April 8th of this year.<br />
<br />
No detailed explanation was given except that the owners noting that the business and the neighbourhood had changed so much over the last few years that it no longer seemed viable to continue on as they were.<br />
<br />
The only bright light to this sad state of affairs is that the people that run Monster Records have vowed to carry on their now famous <b>Thin Lizzy Tribute Night,</b> which features local bands paying musical homage to the artistry of the great late Phil Lynott.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://monsterrecords.ca/index.php"><b>Head over to the store's website to find out details about when and where.</b></a><br />
<br />
Good bye Monster Records. You will be missed.<br />
