Media literacy and Marillion booklet scans

[winterspel]

I really like what occupiedneptune wrote today in her post entitled "Media literacy in the blog society." What you won't find: alarmist dialogue. What you WILL find: a respectful poke to educate ourselves first. Everyone should read it. And I agree with what some of you have been saying: protesting (IF it is truly required) with the wallet does wonders.
And now

I definitely have to check out this band, but the looks of them. :D

And thank you.

They are one of my two favorite bands (the other is Canadian band Rush). I've traveled to Europe 3x to see Marillion and up and down the East Coast on 3 different tours. :) It's safe to say that I'm crazy about them...if you click the marillion tag, you might find some still-live dl links to a few songs. And on my left hand sidebar (and in my userinfo), there's a link to their MySpace page where there are more songs streaming.

And you're welcome. :)

Thanks! I'll have to hit up their MySpace.

by Marillion bookelet, exactly what do you mean? This doesn't look like a tourbook, but it doesn't look like the marillionweekend thing either...so what be it?

I don't know if you've reviewed the album yet, but what are your thoughts? I'm still on the fence, moreso than any other Marillion disc. I'm just having a hard time finding tracks that I can sink my teeth into. There are good bits here and there, but....I'm not sure.

Above the scans I included the link where the scans came from, and if you click it and scroll down, it explains the scans pretty clearly. :)

I probably won't review the new album formally. I like it less than Marbles, and probably about the same as Anoraknophobia - "Somewhere Else" and "Voice from the Past are my 2 favorite tracks (and I'm crazy about them), but when Mark visited recently and we listened to it together a little, my appreciation of the rest went up quite a bit.

The link was so well hidden I didn't see it when I scanned. My bad. Good old Frans - very nice guy with a great weekly radio show.

I think there is probably a correlation between tempo and my inability to get into it. I don't mind the occassional drone but when 3/4 or more of the album is that slow it stirs me only to nod off these days sadly enough. I'd have to right now place it next actually at the bottom of the h list next to dotcom. It doesn't suck, I just am not inside it.

No, no, don't worry! It's easy to miss such little things, especially when you're tired. I was exhausted when I got home last night so I was being lazy by not reposting that link in my comment.

Probably - that makes perfect sense! I do like it, sometimes quite a lot, sometimes less, but my love for those 2 songs has not waned one bit. :)

*grin* We've talked about this concept so many times....and of course I completely understand it. I also understand the disappointment when you WANT something to totally grab you and it doesn't. Be patient...it's a band you love, so you may come back to it one day and say "Eureka!" as the light turns on. Until then, you have so much else with which to occupy your ears....

*hugs* I hope you have a nice day! :)

You're welcome, darling! I thought you might like to see these! :D
