Cape Canaveral (Then Kennedy for a few years, then back when the fundamentalists got fed up with sinful Kennedy antics...the same types who had the ball team name changed from Devil Rays, a local fish, to Rays...paging Mister Chris Hitchens) is where they launched all the space flights...the local Hippies, in their time a brave minority in Florida known for the 'newly wed and nearly dead', had the humor to start calling that area the Space Coast...and sometimes the Space and Time Coast.....a great live album. Sprirt of 76, was recorded live 'from the Time Coast' cue psychedelic riffs.....a great album, by the way.....oh, you wanted the long answer?

I think the hippies shared...the east coast of Fla, on the Atlantic, was the space coast so the west coast, on the Gulf of Mexico, got to be the Time coast....cute, no?

Interview with Martin Barre on Kinston Free Press; www.kinston.com/articles/jethro-78234-tull-barre.htmlannoying as the interviewer changes subject too quickly after Martin talks about "Tull on Ice" Is Martin's Tull tour only in America?; "..as far as America goes it's going to be my Tull project..." I've noticed too the differentials in what is likely to please the American/British/ European audiences in this whole new world of Tull eg Excalibur for the european non Brit audience? Don't get how people think it's a Barre/ Anderson split or anything negative at all - it's a clever way of spreading the Tull wings by a "tribute" tour of old singalonga Tull (maybe only US?) incl guest appearances. Anderson continuing his creative interpretations by solo album and shows. Other ventures on the horizon? - I'll take books from both Anderson/Barre/ lots more info about the whole history of the band incl tasteful memoribilia in the form of beautiful art prints - and a reunion of Tull at some point. Martin Barre " I will continue playing" taken from the interview Ian Anderson- well too many numerous quotes about his never giving up!

You gotta love this kind of sub-professional radio interview...so real...complete with dead air while Martin Barre thinks about questions....I would take this guy's style and repartee with Martin over a polished, edited, slick interview anytime.....Funny paradox...Martin diplomatically annoyed with Ian but also a serious Tull fan at heart....I think this upcoming Martin Barroe tour is going to be very worthwhile...I just hope he sells enough tickets to not get discouraged or mocked.

Yes but the interviewer could have prodded a bit more in the middle bit when Martin was talking about Tull unless Martin was gesticulating for him to stop. I hope the tour is successful too and I think it will be interesting to see the outcome. I'm especially looking forward to Tull on Ice i39.images obliterated by tinypic/55l5e8.jpg[/IMG]

Planet Rock DAB End of Year Poll 2011Reissue of the year. If there were one band that would produce a series of reissues that oozed class and serious consideration, it would be the band that oozed class and serious consideration for their whole career. Back in September Pink Floyd embarked on one of the most impressively complete reissue campaigns in recent memory. As well as a fairly standard set of "Discovery" reissues (single disc editions of all of their albums, all remastered to perfection) the band unveiled that rare beast - previously unreleased material. The band's Experience editions of 'Dark Side Of The Moon' and 'Wish You Were Here' added whole bonus discs of unreleased live and rare studio material, and they were quite sublime. But it was the two "Immersion" box sets of Dark Side and WYWH that had fans' hearts all a-quiver, with a plethora of mixes, bonus discs, memorabilia, formats and other assorted goodies all thrown it. It's a staggering set of releases that treated the work of one of the world's greatest ever bands with the dignity and respect it deserves. 2) NIRVANA - NEVERMIND On the 20th anniversary of its release Nirvana's grunge classic was given a comprehensive reissue that reminded the world just how special the album was. In the deluxe box set a subtly remastered edition of the Nevermind was packaged with an enormous amount of unreleased material, including demos, live versions and alternate mixes which allowed fans to immerse themselves in the genesis and making of the album, from its early inception to the finished product. It's remarkable that the album is 20 years old, as it sounds as fresh as it did in '91 and thanks to this new edition it will hopefully have attracted a whole new fanbase. 3) THIN LIZZY - REISSUE SERIES Four of Lizzy's best albums were given a loving makeover in January with 2CD deluxe editions that mined interesting (although by no means essential) unreleased material from the archive. Live And Dangerous, Johnny The Fox, Vagabonds Of The Western World and Jailbreak have all been given a fantastic touch up that makes all of them sparkle. Thin Lizzy were never really known as an "album band" but as these four remasters prove, their output was every bit as special as that of their peers. Johnny The Fox in particular is a forgotten gem that needs reappraisal, and these remasters help make up for that in a very special way. 4) JETHRO TULL - AQUALUNG
After years of duff reissues Tull's 1971 masterpiece is given the 40th anniversary overhaul that it deserves. Remixed and remastered from the original 8 and 16 track tapes, Porcupine Tree's Steven Wilson has managed to extract every inch of detail from the original album. When you hear this remaster it's like listening to the album for the very first time, and you will hear some new on each repeat visit while the bonus material is (unlike a lot of reissue bonus tracks these days) absolutely fascinating. The super deluxe box set edition is well worth exploring for the 5.1 mixes, which are simply extraordinary.5) OZZY OSBOURNE - DIARY OF A MADMAN At the very least this Legacy Edition is justice being done, with Lee Kerslake and Bob Daisley rightfully returned to the mix after that genuinely appalling debacle in 2002 in which their parts were re-recorded after a falling out with the Osbournes. The album is, of course, Ozzy's solo tour de force and this reissue has been fantastically remastered to make it sound pristine, with all of the vibrancy and edge that made it so special in 1981 shining forth once more. The bonus disc of live material (cobbled together from various performances on the Blizzard Of Ozz tour) is good, occasionally outstanding (particularly Randy Rhoads), although it's probably for completists only as the Tribute album remains the definitive live document of this period. But it's the restored and remastered Diary Of A Madman that will have you hooked, just as it did 30 years ago. www.planetrock.com

Today, 16:00 on BBC Radio Suffolk, presenter Stephen Foster. Foz speaks to Ruud Haket, the managing director of Suffolk's new rail operator Greater Anglia, over problems which have plagued them on their first proper working day.
Crimestoppers tell Foz about a reward of up to £3,000 for information on six thieves who robbed the Spar store on Freehold Road in Ipswich last week.
The mother of an Ipswich man has described the moment her son first began to talk to her, nearly twenty years after a car crash left him brain damaged and quadriplegic. Simon Ellis was 18 years old when he was a passenger in a car that crashed at Great Wenham near Capel St Mary in 1992.
In the music hour after 6pm: Foz's special guest is Jethro Tull's Ian Anderson.[/b] www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p00nhmbh

BBC Radio 6 Music: 4 March 2012: 6 - 8pm Stuart Maconie's Freak Zone: Jethro Tull: Thick as a BrickFollowing the announcement that Jethro Tull are performing their entire Thick As A Brick album live for the first time since 1972 in April this year, Stuart celebrates this seminal album in the history of British popular music.
Written to quash their critics who insisted they were a prog rock band, Ian Anderson decided to make the best prog album ever, but as a parody of the genre. Intended as a spoof, it was developed around the concept of a fictional child poet Gerald Bostock, an intelligent school boy who wrote about the trails of growing up.
Thick As A Brick expanded on The Tull's signature line-up (rock band plus flute) with a wealth of orchestral instruments and was recorded as one single 40-minute piece of music split over two sides of an LP. It was an instant success, reaching the top five in both US and UK chartswww.bbc.co.uk

I Gave It Up For The Music & The Free Electric Band
Johnnie Walker spins an eclectic selection of hits and rarities from both sides of the Atlantic. This week singer, songwriter and record producer Albert Hammond catches up with Johnnie from his homeland of Gibraltar.
Johnnie asks Albert about the songs he wrote during the 70s from his own hit Free Electric Band to The Air That I Breathe for The Hollies. Born in London, Hammond's family were evacuated to Gibraltar, during World War II, where he grew up and still has a home.
As a successful musician in the 1970s he moved to the US where he wrote When I Need You with Carole Bayer Sager. As well as success in Spain, Hammond went on to be a much sought-after songwriter contributing to favourites such as Whitney Houston's One Moment In Time and Starship's Nothing's Gonna Stop Us Now.
Johnnie's featured album comes from Jethro Tull as they celebrate 40 years of Thick As A Brick, their epic release featuring one single track. He plays excerpts and Jethro Tull flautist Ian Anderson remembers making the album..[/color]

Johnnie Walker was my favourite after Peel, intelligent, knowledgeable and no nonsense about him.
Paul Gambacchini (sp) gets pulled out when someone dies but although he's obviously very knowledgeable he never seems to have the gravitas of Walker or Peel.

Jethro Tull’s Ian Anderson returns to Planet Rock this Saturday (7 April, 7pm) to present a brand new series entitled THE LYRICISTS – ALL MOUTH & TROUSERS.
In this exclusive six part series Ian looks at the world’s best lyricists and their impact on the world of rock, as well as taking a sideways glance at some of the 'great' wordsmiths who didn’t quite hit the mark. From Lemmy’s gracious offer of his “meat torpedo” to Dylan’s famous answer (it’s “blowing in the wind” apparently), Ian explores all manner of classic rock lyrics from the world’s greatest songwriters.
This is the second series that Ian has presented for Planet Rock, the first being his award nominated show "Under The Influence" in 2007.
Trevor White, Planet Rock's Programme Director said "It's great to have Ian back at Planet Rock again. He is a wonderful raconteur and The Lyricists is set to be another essential listen".
Ian Anderson's "The Lyricists - All Mouth And Trousers" starts Saturday 7th April at 7pm.
