After the cake... Music to sweat by BY LANDON HALL | THE ORANGE COUNTY REGISTER Read much more: www.rep-am.com/articles/2013/11/19/lifestyle/health/763631.txtBut what about Jethro Tull? Maybe "Aqualung" or Side 1 of "Thick as a Brick," logging in at a continuous 22 minutes, 40 seconds? He's tried Tull. "It's not a good idea," he says.

Dunfermline, Scotland: Birthplace of Carnegie and Forbes is Pittsburgh's soulmate November 23, 2013 11:46 PM There is evidence of settlements here dating to the Stone Age, but the town's "modern" history begins nearly a thousand years ago. The Scottish national hero Robert the Bruce ruled here and is buried in the 900-year-old Romanesque Dunfermline Abbey, now partial ruins. In his autobiography "The Gospel of Wealth," Carnegie wrote, "Fortunate in my ancestors, I was supremely so in my birthplace," and although he lived there only until age 12 it's clear that the Dunfermline of his youth remained of paramount influence to one of the wealthiest self-made men in human history. And although two Scottish and two British kings were born here (and the lead singer of Jethro Tull), it is Carnegie's impact that is still felt here on a daily basis as it is in Pittsburgh.

www.thestranger.com/seattle/cerebral-operator/Content?oid=18332039 Cerebral OperatorThe Cave Singers' Morgan Henderson by TRENT MOORMANDuring the creation of the Cave Singers' fourth album, Naomi, they added bass player, multi-instrumentalist, and Seattle nice guy Morgan Henderson to their assemblage. He's a highly cerebral musician whose rooted, willowy bass lines and flute sounds fit naturally within the Cave Singers' illumined folk framework.
. . . .
You're a flute player as well. Is there a flute callus? Is there a callus of the embouchure? The Jethro Tull callus?
There's no flute callus that I've developed yet, but there's definitely a need to have the muscles in your mouth worked up. Of any instrument I've played—using hands, feet, whatever—mouth muscles are quickest to go if you don't keep them up. Woodwind and brass players practice a lot.
How many Cave Singers songs are you on flute for?
There's a song called "Easy Way" on Naomi that we play now where I'm on flute. Two guitars, drums, and flute. It's different from the original version. We sort of like this way better, and I'm always looking for any excuse to play the flute. Maybe four or five songs in all.
Do you use effects on your flute?
Yeah. There's a great company called Strymon—I have a couple of their pedals. For the Cave Singers, I use their delay pedal. There's a couple songs where I give it a longer tail.
Is it a highly discernable delay that people hear out in the room, or more subtle?
I think so. One of the advantages of it being in the signal chain onstage is that it comes through the monitor. A lot of engineers can put delay on it in the room, but I can't hear it because it doesn't send back to the monitor. My delays are shorter, so it's like a slap-back feel, and there are other ones that are longer and get more psychedelic.
Get that $h1t going for your 12-minute Jethro Tull "Locomotive Breath."
The first time I played flute live, somebody yelled out, "Jethro Tull." I was like, "Oh no, have I crossed the line or something?" I don't really listen to Jethro Tull, though.
What? You don't listen to Jethro Tull? That's not possible! Who are the flute players you're into?
Don't get me wrong, I've seen videos of Ian Anderson from Jethro Tull playing with an orchestra and doing weird stuff. He's an amazing musician. There's a guy named Hermeto Pascoal, I think he's Brazilian. Eric Dolphy is great. I'm not so into the rock flute, more into the jazz and classical side.

All things Hendrix: Remembering the great at Devonshire DownsBy Chandelor Armstrong December 7th, 2013 sundial.csun.edu/2013/12/all-things-hendrix-remembering-the-great-at-devonshire-downs/This image was used to advertise the Newport Pop Festival held June 20-22, 1969 at Devonshire Downs in Northridge, CA. Courtesy of Classic PostersWhenever a documentary is released on the history of rock and roll showcasing countless festival performances, Woodstock is always a hot topic. But what about the Newport Pop Festival at Devonshire Downs in Northridge? For many, the thought of rock and roll royalty like Jimi Hendrix, Steppenwolf, Jethro Tull, The Byrds, Eric Burdon, Ike and Tina Turner among others playing in an area now known as the North Campus at California State University, Northridge. Medtronic, a medical technology company has an office location as part of the private industrial park occupying the land today. On June 20, 1969 nearly 200,000 people attended the three-day festival listening to the sounds of artists mentioned above, as well as Marvin Gaye, Booker T & the MGs, Mother Earth, The Rascals, Three Dog Night, The Grass Roots, Chambers Brothers, Creedence Clearwater Revival, Joe Cocker, Taj Mahal, Johnny Winter, Brenton Wood, Sweetwater and more. The Daily Sundial reached out to artists on the bill including Michael Allsup of Three Dog Night and Michael Monarch, the original guitarist of Steppenwolf. The artists discussed their memories of the iconic event and the one thing they learned about Jimi Hendrix that they did not already know. Daily Sundial: It’s been nearly 45 years since you played the Newport Pop Festival in June 1969. Nearly 200,000 people attended the event in Northridge, CA. The event made history books as one of the largest concerts of all time. When you think back on this event, what is the first memory that comes to mind? Michael Monarch: Well, it was a long time ago but I still remember being on stage there. It was a pretty high stage as I remember it and very open with a sea of people. Michael Allsup: Yes, I went to that gig and saw Hendrix with Mitch Mitchell and Jimi’s old military buddy (Billy Cox) on bass. Was Jimi playing the white stratocaster that he had used at Woodstock? Yes. DS: Artists on the bill for the 3 day event included Ike and Tina Turner, Jimi Hendrix, Joe Cocker, Marvin Gaye, Creedence Clearwater Revival among others. Did you get the chance to see the other performers? MM: Only a few bits and pieces. DS: When playing a large festival like the Newport Pop Festival, what differences come to mind in terms of performance preparation than say a 1,700 seat concert hall or arena? MM: Well I think sound is one difference. It can be hard to really fill a huge, open space with powerful sound. Plus, with so many acts sharing the same sound equipment it can be a challenge. The giant audience of a festival can actually seem intimate in a way because you don’t really see as many faces as in a smaller venue. DS: There’s often an incredible energy that takes place when artists record in the studio. How do you take this energy and translate it out into live performances? MM: I would say generally the excitement generated by a large, enthusiastic crowd gives the performers a boost and the energy can multiply. Steppenwolf recorded in a very small studio with just each other there and our engineers and producer. Pretty much the opposite of the festivals. DS: All artists have that special place where they will go when they need to just sit and think. Where is that special place for you? MM: Riding my motorcycles! DS: Over the years you have had conversations with many individuals who worked close with Jimi Hendrix. What is the one thing you learned about Jimi that you did not already know? MM: I was very lucky to meet Jimi early on. In ’67 or early ’68 we played in New York at a small club called The Scene. We did a couple sets there for a few nights in a row. In the audience were Jimi and many other rock superstars. Between sets the manager of the club told me someone wanted to meet me. I was 17 years old and was brought to a secluded spot in the club where I met Nico (Velvet Underground) and Jimi Hendrix who I considered the best and most influential guitarist of the day. Nico said ‘Jimi really likes your guitar playing.’ Jimi nodded and shook my hand and invited me to a private party afterward. One thing that struck me about Hendrix was how humble and gracious he was. The Scene was famous for after hour (2 a.m. to 5 a.m.) jam sessions and Jimi was there for that and asked to use my equipment. Of course it was my pleasure to let him!

Political strategists form bipartisan effort to get Yes into Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Read more: www.saratogian.com/arts-and-entertainment/20131209/political-strategists-form-bipartisan-effort-to-get-yes-into-rock-and-roll-hall-of-fameProg relished excess. At its peak, prog resembled a cross between a circus and a house party at Liberace’s. Jethro Tull’s Ian Anderson played smoking flute solos — while balancing on one leg. Carl Palmer played a stainless steel drum set — outfitted with electronics — that weighed 2 1/2 tons. Not to be outdone, Keith Emerson would take a solo turn at the piano, which seemed rather sedate until it began to lift and spin upside down, with Emerson still pounding away.

Whatever expectations — some might call them stereotypes — you have about Thai restaurant decor will be shattered in one startling glance around the room. The place feels like home.
. . . . Hilarity can ensue as one of the gracious 20-something servers tries to explain, for instance, the finer nuances of gang pa, otherwise known as jungle curry. Our waitress told us it was a nuclear-hot dish called “In the Jungle,” which only made me think of Jethro Tull.

Midlake got me...Heard a song on this month's MOJO compilation CD, 'Roscoe' and got snagged...Look what the recently dpearted leader said:
Speaking about the band's influences, Smith commented:
"We don't want to get called a Radiohead rip-off band. I think Radiohead is a lot closer to my natural tendencies as a songwriter than a band like, um, Jethro Tull. I listen to way more Jethro Tull than I do Radiohead these days, but I could write 10 Radiohead songs before I could write one Jethro Tull song. I want to sound more like Jethro Tull, but I just can't. That's a big struggle."

Smart Boy While I won't be rushing over to my prog radio to hear these guys, (I may have heard them on one of the other ones, I am familiar with the name)I have a clue for the young man. You want to be like Jethro Tull? Or most anyone else out there in the stratosphere of extreme MUSICAL accomplishment? Be like yourself. Doubtless just about the original seed of Jethro Tull, coming to the early realization that, while he dug the $h1t out of the likes of Howling Wolf or Muddy Waters, he was a man from a very different cultural milieu. Whatever parts of Midlake are the product of Tull love will present themself. Much as the sheer passion of Wolf or Muddy may well be evident in Ian Anderson's method of attack.

And make sure you get the 4:52 minute version...not the shorter official video on You Tube.....the long version is also on you tube, a few down from the short video one. My work computer won't let me import the link. I listened to them. Both that song, though I saw none exactly 4.52, i went for the 4.56. what can i say, they're pretty good, a longshot better than most of what i expect to run into on our local semi eclectic station. also heard their entire recent record the other day which i found more engaging than this roscoe, i have to say i heard not the remotest similarity to budapest which i think you mentioned, made me think i was listening to the wrong version. good stuff. but would i want to hear more? not really. is there a chance repeated listens may ripen it. yeah there is. they are good. and they get points for what appears to be a paper maiche black cat head, ian anderson riding pants circa 1977, and even little booties. but they also strike me as affected, in the subtle way i perceive cowboy junkies to be, and other who i believe owe a small debt to velvet underground. and i just don't like that stuff, this sort of art school veneer $h1t, sort of airy maybe heroin type vibe. i'm out. but with as much time as is left, do you truly know the miles davis catalogue of the years 1956 thru 1967 inside out? if you are not digging it immaculate remember it is something YOU are doing wrong, lol. kind of mean that though. with the time perceived left even if its alot i kind of know what i like. always pleased to be surprised...but i have to be really surprised.

clclt.com/charlotte/rep-record-re-opens/Content?oid=3287631Repo Record re-opens Store returns after eight years by Pat Moran Jimmy Parker remembers the first record he ever bought. "It was Bob Dylan's Blonde on Blonde, but the record that really got me hooked was the Allman Brothers' Live at the Fillmore East. The Allmans pointed me to soul music and now I'm crazy for Motown."
We're in the latest incarnation of Parker's record fever, the newly opened Repo Record at 3325 Commonwealth Ave. Parker owned and operated the Plaza Midwood landmark, Repo Records, from 1988 to 2005, and for most of that time he ruled the independent record/CD store roost. With an unaffiliated Repo Records now open in Philadelphia and Germany, Parker decided to drop the 's' on his new business.
Parker's history in the business goes back to 1972, when he started working for record distributors. Drawing on his experience and his music collection, he opened Repo Records in 1988. By the early '90s, Parker had expanded to three Repos: the main store at 2516 Central Ave., plus Repo Cheapo across the street and Repo CDs on Tyvola Road.
When music retail hit the brakes in the '90s, Parker consolidated his satellite stores into one location on South Boulevard. Yet consolidation wasn't the reason Parker closed his doors in 2005. "Gas went up, taking away the disposable income people had to spend on an album," Parker explains, noting that his daily totals dropped as downloads cut into business.
He took a break to raise his daughter. Yet it was Parker's 11-year-old daughter who nudged him back into the business. "I asked her, 'Are you going to listen to these Jethro Tull records?' She's really into what the teens listen to now, so she said no."
Once again, Parker drew on his collection to stock a store. "It's used, but I have a lot of sealed copies that have never been played. And I'm buying reissues of the good stuff from the '60s and '70s like the Stooges and the Ramones." In addition to records and CDs, Repo carries stereo equipment, collectibles, T-shirts and vintage posters.
It's afternoon and the store is filling with customers. James Campbell flips through the stacks while his great-nephew, Kenneth Miller, clutches a pressing of Eagles Live. "I used to come to the store on Central," Campbell says. "I'm a record freak, and Repo was instrumental in helping me build my collection."
In contrast, Jen Crickenberger has never heard of Repo. "I live right down the street and I'm excited that there's a record store here in our neighborhood," Crickenberger says with a smile. "That's what brought me in."
Both Crickenberger and Campbell touch on the appeal of a brick and mortar store in the digital download age, what Parker calls "the romance of the record store."
"You can sit there and flip through the Internet," says Parker, noting that Repo's Twitter account as well as its website, reporecord.com, will soon go live, "but it's not the same as holding a CD or record in your hand."
"It's also a social thing. You meet people with similar interests. If two people like David Bowie, and they're in the same section, they can ask each other 'What's your favorite Bowie record?' Before you know it, they're best friends."

www.nbcsandiego.com/SoundDiego Saturdays after SNL on NBC 7 San Diego13 of SD's Best Albums of 2013 Local bands released some great albums in 2013 By Dustin Lothspeich Old Man Wizard, Unfavorable (11/1/13): If you've ever wondered what it would be like if Motorhead and Jethro Tull ran full-speed head-on into each other, exploded and the atoms of those glorious rockers settled and formed a new band, Old Man Wizard is basically what it would sound like. Unfavorable is a heady mix of hard-charging rock ("Nightmare Rider"), beautiful, harmony-laden, thematic wizardry ("If Only") and prog-metal ("Forevermore"). One of my absolute favorite records of the year

File under New Year's Resolutionswww.thedailymeal.com/new-year-s-resolution-1-drink-your-way-healthier-skin/122713New Year’s Resolution #1: Drink Your Way to Healthier Skin New Year’s Eve is fast approaching and you haven’t started considering your resolutions, have you? At this point, you probably know which party you’re attending, but it’s likely that you haven’t even begun to choose a way in which to systematically improve yourself over the next year. You might get panicked and decide on something really bland like "eat better," "purchase a gym membership," or "quit with the absurd-looking e-cigarettes already." Alternatively, you might be kind of amazing and decide to start training seeing-eye dogs for underprivileged blind children or learning the electric flute in order to get serious about starting that Jethro Tull cover band. You have options, is what I’m saying.

www.vancouversun.com/The Vancouver Sun’s top 10 albums of 2013 From Nick Cave to Janelle Monae, this past year was transformative By Francois Marchand Fain Wolf People Odds are you will not see British rockers Wolf People’s excellent third album on many lists this year. In fact, odds are you’ve never heard of Wolf People to begin with. Fain is a good place to start: An album that sounds like the bastard child of Fairport Convention and Jethro Tull (minus all the flute stuff), with the guitar pedals cranked up for maximum impact. Recorded in an old countryside farm house, Fain sounds the way it should: Misty and esoteric, with hints of medievalism and tales of yore. Fain is a delightfully retro rock nugget, like an old piece of smouldering ember that lies at the bottom of the fireplace, waiting to be revived.

Collector shares unusual pop-up booksBy Brenda Sullivan - ReminderNews South Windsor - posted Thu., Jan. 2, 2014 www.remindernews.com/article/2013/12/31/collector-shares-unusual-pop-up-booksThey’re all around us and they’re often met with childlike delight, but their creators usually don’t get the attention they deserve. This point was made by Francis Gagliardi at a talk given at Wood Memorial Library & Museum in South Windsor on Dec. 29, during which he shared some of the 900-plus pop-up items he’s collected since 1985.
. . . . .
Gagliardi’s collection also includes album covers – such as Jethro Tull’s "Stand Up" LP that produces cut-out images of the band members when opened – and an ornate, multi-dimensional palace that forms the CD package for Michael Jackson’s "Dangerous."_____________________________________________________________________________________ Maybe it's because we are Londoners: tens of thousands pour out in the rain for New Year's Day paradewww.standard.co.uk/news/london/maybe-its-because-we-are-londoners-tens-of-thousands-pour-out-in-the-rain-for-new-years-day-parade-9032940.htmlTens of thousands of Londoners poured out onto the streets of London today to enjoy the annual New Year's Day parade - whose theme this year was the Swinging Sixties.. . . . . . Who does he think he is, Jethro Tull? DJ and broadcaster Mike Read, who rode on one of the parade's floats, said: "It's surprising the event is better known around the world than it is here.
"It's good that we're setting it in the English Sixties," he added.
"After the Second World War and the austerity of the fifties, we became the world's focus for the right reasons; for culture, media and sport."
The event followed a night of celebrations that saw millions of people across the UK welcome the start of 2014 with fireworks, music and late-night partying.

CEO Jim Wunderman, on the challenges facing the Bay Area Council By Dan Nakaso www.mercurynews.com/business/ci_24887717/ceo-jim-wunderman-challenges-facing-bay-area-councilFive things about Jim Wunderman 1. He went from politics to waste management, and then back into politics. "I don't know what to say about that." 2. Born and raised in the Bronx, New York, where he was a die-hard San Francisco 49ers fan. 3. Loves attending rock concerts and this summer had front-row tickets to see Jethro Tull's Ian Anderson at the War Memorial Opera House. "I thought I had died and gone to heaven."4. Regularly drives in rush-hour traffic from his San Francisco office to the East Bay to see his sons play indoor soccer, giving him an appreciation of the need for transportation solutions. 5. Considers his mentor to be Dianne Feinstein, his former boss and former San Francisco mayor. "Any time in life when I'm wondering what to do, I think, 'What would Dianne do?' "
