#NowPlaying @ Nothing Manor: Lari Basilio - Redemption (2025). She has her own sound, to be sure, but if you’ve never heard her work think of a mix of Eric Johnson’s melodiousness and Joe Satriani’s crunchy vibes. Great guitarist. #music #rock #instrumental youtu.be/C2eTZr25h…

#NowPlaying @ Nothing Manor: Magic Pie - Maestro (2025). I may be a progger, but I’m not familiar with the Norwegian #ProgRock band Magic Pie. This is their sixth album and in typical prog fashion opens with an 18 minute epic! Dig in!! #music #prog youtube.com/playlist

#NowPlaying @ Nothing Manor: Rush - Vapor Trails (2002). Always Rush, but ever the musical chameleons, the trio that sounds like a five-piece electrifies with a darker, heavier exploration of Neil’s compelling lyrical stories. #music #progrock #hardrock www.youtube.com/watch

#NowPlaying @ Nothing Manor: Sting - The Dream of the Blue Turtles (1985). Saw Sting on tour for this album and was blown away by his drummer, the amazing Omar Hakim. Fantastically textured album. #music #80s #pop #altpop www.youtube.com/watch

#NowPlaying @ Nothing Manor: Sting - Ten Summoners Tales (1993). I saw #ThePolice play one of their last shows and #Sting on his The Dream of the Blue Turtles tour. Just great music. This time with the amazing Vinnie Colaiuta on drums. #music #pop #90s www.youtube.com/watch

Fascinating how a lot of solutions for fixing complex resource problems caused by the explosive growth of humanity frequently go back to the cradle of life; the ocean. Deep Sea Reverse Osmosis (DSRO) seems like a great solution for our water problems. Just watch the video, but in short it reduces the power consumption by 60% over land-based RO desalination plants, and avoids a lot of its complications. #science #tech #drought #water www.youtube.com/watch

#NowPlaying @ Nothing Manor: Counting Crows - Butter Miracle, The Complete Sweets! (2025). Yes, a new Crows album. It’s been a while. I wasn’t much of a Crows listener, so I don’t have a lot to say, but its mostly good so far. #music #rock youtube.com/playlist

Remember when we found out that pretty much everything being claimed by #Conservatives was a lie designed to rip #humanrights and #civilrights away from protected groups and decided that was stupid so stopped believing them? Yeah, me neither. #EndFascism #uspol #lawfare www.youtube.com/watch

#NowPlaying #Live @ Nothing Manor: Steely Dan - Live at London’s Hammersmith Apollo (2009). Dan Belcher is an appropriately named Dan Fan. He personally remasters old Dan shows out of love. This is a newly released soundboard recording. #music #steelydan www.youtube.com/watch

#NowPlaying @ Nothing Manor: Irakere - Live at Ronnie Scotts (1993). The wife just turned me on to these astonishing peeps. Formed in ‘75 the band blends #AfroCubanJazz and other regional musical traditions with #rock & #funk and clearly jam. #music #jazz #jazzfusion www.youtube.com/playlist
