Billy Beane has lost his mind As Blue Jays' fans - we really don't mind. Thank you Billy Beane. I can see the future - a World Series against the Giants. That would be something for us to have fun with, eh Bernie.

A Secret History of ’80s Iron Maiden in 10 Songs More: www.wonderingsound.com/feature/iron-maiden-80s-reissue-top-10-songs/“Cross-Eyed Mary” (“The Trooper” single) It’s no secret that Iron Maiden love prog-rock, but in 1983, they hadn’t really begun to play it. That makes their cover of Jethro Tull’s “Cross-Eyed Mary” a revealing glimpse into their lives as fans, well before that fandom crossed over into the arrangements. It’s also f**king awesome, with Dave Murray and Adrian Smith’s guitar harmonies replacing Ian Anderson‘s famous flute lines and Bruce Dickinson’s howl at peak Air Raid Siren. “Cross-Eyed Mary” could have ended up burning Maiden’s bridge to their punk bona fides once and for all, but it’s a testament to their fluidity that it was able to coexist with their earlier discography while pointing the way to the future.

Seven Best Classic Rock Moments Released on DVD/Blu-Ray in 2014 By Lee Zimmerman Mon., Dec. 1 2014 at 10:13 AM blogs.browardpalmbeach.com/countygrind/2014/12/seven_best_classic_rock_moments_released_on_dvdblu-ray_in_2014.php7. Jethro Tull's Ian Anderson - Thick as a Brick, Live in Iceland (Eagle Vision) and Jethro Tull War Child (Chrysalis) Face it, Ian Anderson is Jethro Tull, if not in name then certainly in delivery. Here are two of the band's classics, each resurfacing in different configurations. Anderson's remake of Thick as a Brick remains true to the original, regardless of the fact that he nails it under his own name with a hired band of stringers. War Child, meanwhile, has been expanded into box set proportions, four discs offering remixes and unreleased recordings.

In case of catastrophe, listen to vinyl! And more from the Pixies’ Joey Santiago By Mike Mettler — December 2, 2014 www.digitaltrends.com/music/the-pixies-doolittle-25th-anniversary-joey-santiago-interview-1-of-2/There was always something missing in quad mixes. But the surround format really gives you the broad scale of separation of instruments, plus the feel of people recording in a room together. Ian Anderson of Jethro Tull and I have talked about this a lot.
Surround, for — (pauses) … well, I don’t want to label them — but surround for prog like Jethro Tull and Pink Floyd makes a lot of sense.

Music, glorious music! 03 December 2014, 11:55 More: www.news24.com/MyNews24/Music-glorious-music-20141203In the same vein, but speaking of a different band: Jethro Tull have been doing it since 1968, and show no signs of stopping any time soon. Also extremely complex music, along with probably the greatest frontman in the history of rock, who manages to play a mean flute, while standing on one leg (although that happens with less frequency nowadays).

The Press still think IA farms salmon Rock Stars and Their Weird Nature-Based HobbiesBy Chris Lane Wed., Dec. 10 2014 at 3:30 AM blogs.houstonpress.com/rocks/2014/12/one_fish_two_fish_bees_-_the_w.php3. Jethro Tull's Ian Anderson Is a Salmon Farmer It turns out that besides being one of the few stars to bring the "Rock Flute" into heavy use, Ian Anderson also long ago invested in salmon farming as a way to fund the upkeep on a summer house. His timing was perfect, as the industry was just beginning, and after 20 years, the venture has become the UK's biggest independent smoked-salmon firm, employing more than 400 people.
Anderson claims that salmon farming is similar to rock and roll since both involve "a bit of theatricality," but unless that means he dresses his salmon in little stage costumes, I'm going to assume that he is hitting the same six-joint regimen that Roger Daltrey recommends for fishing. No one could argue that Jethro Tull was an unsuccessful band, but with their heyday long passed, it's likely that Anderson makes more money from salmon farming these days than from touring behind "Aqualung."

Two area music shops hope to hit a high note with bidders at Operation Santa Claus’ 40th gala Dec. 13 at The Sagamore resort.
Kniskern Music and Cole’s Woodwind Shop in Saratoga Springs will be donating to the event’s live auction a CD and professionally framed poster signed by country music artist Kellie Pickler and a flute signed by Ian Anderson of the British rock group Jethro Tull.
Bill Cole said in an email that he and his wife attended a show at the Grand Ole Opry in Nashville in February and asked Pickler if she would sign her CD and a poster for the local fundraiser, and she agreed.
Then, when Cole learned Anderson would be performing at the Palace Theater in Albany in November, he contacted the performer by email requesting him to autograph a vintage Selmer flute that Cole and his son had restored. The sterling silver instrument is similar to the Artley flute Anderson played in the early years of Jethro Tull, Cole said.
Anderson responded positively to the email and arranged for Cole and his son to attend the show. Following the performance, Anderson met them backstage.
“After some friendly conversation, he pulled out a Sharpie and signed the flute,” Cole said. “Our hope is that by promoting these items it may draw some Jethro Tull and Kellie Pickler fans to the event.
“We try to take as many opportunities as we can to try and promote the generous work that Operation Santa Claus does.”

linkToday in Music History - Dec. 20 The Canadian Press Sat, 20 Dec 2014 01:15:00 CST In 1967, the rock group "Jethro Tull" was formed by guitarist Mick Abrahams. But Abrahams left the group soon after their first album, and under the subsequent leadership of flutist and vocalist Ian Anderson, "Jethro Tull's" music changed from progressive blues and jazz to a mixture of folk and heavy metal music. *In 1969, "Leaving on a Jet Plane" by "Peter, Paul and Mary" was the No. 1 song in the U.S. * So fly away Peter and fly away Paul from the finger-tip ledge of contentment. Well, the long restless rustle of high-heeled boots calls. And I'm probably bound to deceive you after all.

www.science20.com/Feeling Out Of Touch With The Production Of Your Food? Blame Jethro TullBy Steve Savage | January 4th 2015 10:01 PM Link to articleMany consumers today feel out of touch with how their food is produced and are disturbed by a lot of what they hear about it through their social networks or other sources of information.If it is necessary to assign fault for this phenomenon, I think we could blame Jethro Tull Ian Anderson and Martin Barre of the more modern Jethro Tull No, I don’t mean the 70s rock band led by flautist Ian Anderson and guitarist Martin Barre, I mean the early 18th century agronomist and inventor named Jethro Tull (the two Jethros did; however, have similar hair styles). [click on the link to see some fascinating graphs, charts and waffle about food production. ]

Backstage Pass: Robin Trower, King of the StratPosted: 01/29/2015 8:04 am EST Updated: 2 hours ago How did you first start playing your trademark Stratocaster? "Martin Barre of Jethro Tull played Gibsons but had a Stratocaster onstage when I was sound-checking. And I picked it up, plugged it into my rig ... and that was it. I was playing a Gibson Les Paul Sunburst. Very heavy and a bit sort of one-trick pony in terms of the sound you can get out of the Les Paul. And the Strat is a more expressive sound; it's got a vocal quality to it--a human voice quality to it, which I love."

boingboing.net/2015/02/02/lets-put-the-guilt-back-in-g.htmlLet's put the guilt back in guilty pleasuresGuilty pleasures aren't always merely self-loathing elitism or ironic tastelessness. They can also be a sign of genuine ambivalence—a feeling to cherish. BY MARK DERY "To review, a shameful pleasure is one that’s always dogged by the dispiriting awareness that, if you were rash enough to confess it, you’d find yourself leaning into the gale-force winds of mockery. As I’ve argued elsewhere, an undisguised partiality to Jethro Tull is, for me, the textbook example. Equally likely candidates include the poetry of Rod McKuen, Thomas Kinkade Painter of Light™, historical reenactment, prog rock, Crocs, Renaissance Faires, Carlos Castaneda’s “Don Juan” books, steampunk, and studio portraits of you and your family wearing matching outfits. (Don’t get too smugly complacent, though; none of these verities is eternal. If the New York art-critical elite can rehabilitate Norman Rockwell, who’s to say Thomas Kinkade is beyond hope? Could Rod McKuen be the next Leonard Cohen?)"

www.deia.com/2015/02/04/bizkaia/uribe-txorierri/musica-y-masa-madre-al-calor-del-obradorMusic and sourdough heat of the workshopJuanma Oribe was devoted to accounting and today is a baker who bet at Craftsman In front of two bakeries in Mungia and Gernika, plays the saxophone, flute and crazy music L. GONDRA - Wednesday, February 4, 2015 - Updated at 06: 02h MUNGIA - Too old to rock 'n' roll: too young to die . The ink stains rotunda his right arm shouting the phrase that reveals his passion for good music. It is the title of an album by Jethro Tull, one of its chief groups, along with Pink Floyd. Both likes led by Ian Anderson, while a tattooed arm carries the cover of that album band, on the other, looks the album Aqualung .
The tatoos on her skin to heat the dance workshop, including flours, bars and loaves; the rhythm of the morning sun yet; scaring own sleepiness that rises to turn on the oven long before the cock crows or radios launch the dark holders of the first informative.
Juanma Oribe baker. But before he was engaged in accounting. It is Lutxana, Barakaldo, but things of life had just made based in Uribe-Butroi, first in Mungia, then Maruri-Jatabe. That walked in numbers when a cluster of coincidences was presented an opportunity to be with two bakeries. So, Juanma, who had spent his life squaring accounts, ended up doing alchemy to find the perfect formula to achieve the most delicious breads. And there follows, leading bakeries paths: Berteiz in Mungia, and Mendiondo in Gernika. Courses, seminars and self spirit were vital in training for these courses of flour, grain and sourdough. "But mostly I helped our master baker, Ángel Rodríguez. We work both together in Gernika. It is another freak of chemistry and artisan bakery "he says.
Ama bread. The natural. The raw material first. The craftsman. Given the slip to industrial yeasts and do not want to hear about those cheap loaves weighing no lack of flavor and languishing in a few hours.
"We cover all spectra except excessively cheap bread," he says with a gesture of rejection. "On one hand we do a more common bread everyday, but very well done, very good raw and durable material. And secondly, we make the other side: an even more artisan bread, which is a return to the beginning, which retrieves the sourdough. In our breads respect the process, "he explains.
His curious mood pushes him to investigate, to try to meet the demands of those customers looking for special breads. For example, their delicious bread made with Guinness was a request from Iñigo Ordorika, the restaurant chef Zallobarri of Gernika. And oat bread was the response to a request from a client to which the doctor had recommended that cereal. "Now it has become fashionable glass bread and we are giving a return to the recipe, because the original leads lard and I do not put that to a pan or crazy. We are testing with olive oil, "narrates.
RITMO "I'm a music freak," he says with a shrug when asked why tattoos. In his skin, along with the covers of Jethro Tull, look two crossed hammers, like those featured in the film The Wall , Pink Floyd. "My passion is collecting music," explains the baker who also plays the saxophone and the flute.
Just teach a course in Maruri-Jatabe on how to make bread at home. He is very happy with the result, pupils, who sent him photos breads made at home following his instructions. Smirks. Good bread and Jethro Tull. Can you ask for more?
