Yesterday I was flipping through my parents CD collection. "Hmm... the police, Beatles, Noa, Bach, Moondog, Miles Davis.... Moondog?

I picked it up to see the picture of this ugly old guy. I just had to know what this was about.

I pulled my Fallout Boy CD out and put this one in.

OMG.

I had no genre. In one song he might have guitar, trap drums, clarinet, maracas, etc.

There wasn't a single song on the album that I have listened to so far that was not worth re-listening to.

And the rhythm is diabolical! This is not the kind of music you just set playing and go do something else, this is the kind that you set playing and set down and do nothing but listen.

Here (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RFJi3l1DPWk&feature=fvw)is an example of Moondog's genius.

Tell me what you all think.

Yeah, I remember reading about this weirdo somewhere years ago and looking him up on Youtube. He's pretty dang talented.

I loves me some crazy 60s prog stuff. Also, congrats on ejecting a Fallout boy cd!

...Not really. Short live their career. Short live as is possible. And you skipped over The Beatles and The Police? Shame.

Moondog is pretty cool. Insane, definitely, but pretty cool.

When I see "Moondog", why do I think of that guy from the d20 Modern sourcebooks?

I stopped reading at, "Fallout Boy CD". And I know a Pipboy 3000 doesn't come with this "Fallout Boy CD".


I just want to say, I'm not mad.....I'm just....Disappointed.

I'll never forget him wielding a parkign meter (or was it a stop sign) as a one-handed club against those street thugs. My best d20 modern character was actually a tough/thrasher, so I have big respect for Mr. Greenberg, I really do. DR/- is killer in a world where guns do dice+0 zero damage.

This.

Also, the fact that you didn't instantly put the Miles Davis cd in means that you fail at music, or something to that effect.
