Steve Smith & Vital Information in the Musora studio performing Soundgarden's Blackhole Sun from their Superunknown album during a short session.

#NowPlaying @ Nothing Manor: Steve Smith & Vital Information - Blackhole Sun (2025 - Soundgarden cover). I’m shocked I hadn’t been recommended anything from the #Musora channel before. This is phenomenal, and stellar musicians. #music #jazzfusion #grunge www.youtube.com/watch

#NowPlaying @ Nothing Manor: Gary Moore - Live from Baloise Session (2025). Gary passed in 2011, but recorded this in 2008. Now it’s a new release. Enjoy. #music #blues #GaryMoore www.youtube.com/watch

4 Non Blondes was a great #rock band that only made one studio album and had the global hit What’s Up that lit the world on fire in 1993. It’s amazing that, to this day, that one song has remained in the cultural zeitgeist. #music #activism #LGBTQRights #LGBTQIAPlus www.salon.com/2025/05/2…

John Petrucci (guitar), Mike Portnoy (drums), Jordan Rudess (keyboards), and Tony Levin (bass) in the studio performing Ya Mon from Liquid Tension Experiment III.

#NowPlaying @ Nothing Manor: Liquid Tension Experiment III - Ya Mon (2021). John Petrucci (guitar), Mike Portnoy (drums), Jordan Rudess (keyboards), and Tony Levin (bass) in the studio performing Ya Mon. Brilliant, as usual. #music #progrock #instrumental youtu.be/f8PS7rKVU…

#NowPlaying @ Nothing Manor: The Smithereens - A Date with the Smithereens (1994). I’ve loved this band for decades. Gritty #powerpop by beat poets with a noir bent, their albums are imminently listenable. #music www.youtube.com/watch

#NowPlaying @ Nothing Manor: Cristopher Cross - A Night in Paris (Live)(2013). Do NOT mock me. Chris is an excellent musician and sometimes it’s nice to put on something calmer to facilitate getting stuff done 😁 #music #yachtrock #livemusic youtube.com/playlist

#NowPlaying @ Nothing Manor: It Bites - The Big Lad in the Windmill (1986). I’d been listening to Francis Dunnery for years before I found his previous #ProgRock #ProgPop band. You’ve never heard prog like this and it’s excellent! #music #progressive #80s www.youtube.com/watch

The Canadian #ProgRock band #Rush has been one of my favorite bands period. I also adore the art of #animation. In 1985 the two came together in an animated short broadcast on Canadian TV that year. Now you can watch it. It’s not great, but the music is. #music #scifi #TV www.youtube.com/watch

#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
