Welcome to Dayglo Daydreams

  Welcome to my new blog! Dayglo Daydreams will be a blog about prog rock, indie, metal, post-punk, synthwave, reggae and ska as well as bad and good  movies and local sports such as indie pro wrestling , roller derby, and quadball. Music is my first love, so it might be what I review most, but these other things are love's of mine as well; such as movies and sporting events. I'm still working on how to write as a sports reporter though.

   I operate out of the Tulsa Metro Area, and will be reviewing sporting events in that area.  I personally play Quadball. Our team, the Arkansas River Augreys is trying to get USQ affiliation. My ability to review Quadball events might be compromised by my participation in the sport. This will not be the case for review/coverage of indie wrestling or local roller derby events. Unless something changes, I will not play in or officiate those matches. I think this will be a lot of fun! If you are new here, hold on for the ride and let's begin!

Closing the Blog

 This blog has been inactive for a while. The reason why? I went and did a job as an airport janitor, and I didn't have the energy to keep this up. Now I am going to school to be a sound technician. I may update this infrequently, or this may be the last page. Who is to say?

Tubular!

     Mike Oldfield's Tubular Bells is an album for any Progressive Rock lover. It has a nice neoclassical sound alongside nice intricate guitar work, and good usage of organ and synthesizer. If you like your music short and simple, you may not like Tubular Bells, but I would suggest listening anyway, because it is good to broaden horizons, and challenge the ideas one has regarding music.      The record starts out with some interesting and intricate piano lines. It is later joined by a doubling synthesizer. This helps solidify this melody. I think the repetitiveness of this line helps make a complex piece like this catchy. It boggles the mind that a complex melody could be catchy, or an odd rhythm could be groovy, but progressive rock shows us that this is all possible, just listen to the album.      There is a great moment on this album where synth and (I assume) acoustic guitar come together and then there is a crescendo then electric gu...

1001 Centigrades by Magma

     Magma does not write music for the casual listener. Magma does not write normal music for normal people. They writer serious, abnormal music for abnormal people. The powerful jazz rock of Magma is in direct contrast to the easy-going jazz fusion of Weather Report. If you like your music heavy and energetic instead of languid and mellow, then you will like Magma. Though their ensemble on this album only consists of 8 players (more of a chamber ensemble than a symphonic orchestra) they make up for that by playing with a sort of symphonic heaviness, that is slow, loud, and emphatic.      1001 Centigrades was released in April 1971 by Phillips Studio. It is Magma’s 2 nd album. The first track on this album is 21 minutes (again, this isn’t for the casual music listener) and is written by Christian Vander . The second track is 11 minutes and is written by Teddy Lasry. T he third track is 8 minutes and is written by Francois Cahen . Although this band i...
