Pies 'n' Prog on a Thursday night: consider my boxes ticked!
The Notorious P.I.G. (noun): A pulled pork & Cajun potato pie, speciality of Winchester pastry purveyors 'Piecaramba!'
A Formal Horse (noun): A criminally underappreciated musical combo: an unholy mash up of gnarly prog, wiry metal, impossible math rock & winsome indie.
Put aside your prejudices, 'twas joyous stuff!
This #TuneTuesday’s theme is #SciFiSongs
My selection: Dave House's 10 song pop--hardcore EP about the (excellent) early 2000s remake of 'Battlestar Galactica'.
Totalling 8m 23s it's pretty disposable stuff. But I'm a simple soul & it makes me smile.
Tracks include "(I Wanna Frak You) Starbuck", "Major Lee Buff", and "(It's A Tough Life Being A) Hybrid".
Here's a sample - honestly, don't bother if you've never seen the show. If you have, but hate the song, you can curse me & say "that's 53 seconds of my life I'll never get back".
THE FINAL FIVE - BOOMER'S PLAN

"Sleeper agent, she didn't know, she had more in common with Nintendo..."
PS> This is My Space era stuff. The only place I can now find it is archive.org.
Just like having a dog means you have to get up off your arse & go for a walk every day, doing the #20Albums challenge has given me the discipline to post regularly.
But now I've finished: one day down & I'm already flagging...
As much as I'd like to keep on going, that's rather against the spirit of the whole thing. So I'll take a leaf out of other participants' books and, by way of a final hurrah, produce a graphic of albums that were under consideration but failed to make the final cut.
(No duplicate artists, & as before, some I haven't listened to for years; they are not necessarily my favourites, but most are there or thereabouts).
