Scot Lade is the Prog Rock critic for The Fire Note. He has played in many bands (Disorderly Conduct, Foul Existense (sic) and wedgepiece) as a singer/songwriter/guitarist, worked in radio, music publishing and managed record stores in Florida - basically every aspect of the music business.
Many of the videos posted will focus on his vinyl collection as visual aids. The mission statement for The Prog Corner is “Love, Respect and Music.” The goal is to establish and nourish a community of like-minded music nerds.
Although Progressive Rock is the main focus, there will be features on a variety of musical genres including: indie, punk and metal. There are already too many snobs out there: we love all forms of music. Because music is love. It is the language of heaven.
Great stuff Scott!!!
Your reviews are contagious. Got me to appreciate Prog RRRock again, being too long a time Indie Rock/Pop devotee with apparent tunnel vision :-). And your GBV /Pollard ranking also provided impulse to my collection of their tremendous discography since the early 1990s. What a band!
I am hoping you will also dig into some Indie Rock and Post-Rock classics, like Pavement, Polvo, Slint, Don Caballero; to name but a view. Boy, those will make great reviews, you doing them.
Thanks a bunch and keep up the good work!
Cheers, Erwin
