Best eclipse related playlist I’ve seen! I think this is the first time I’ve seen Radio Birdman and Cirith Ungol connected together, but I hope it won’t be the last!

Two bands that go great together, at least in my world!

A few years ago Portland and Oregon had the full eclipse (I think it was 100% in Central Oregon). You may have been in Vancouver, BC at the time?

And, a Loop sighting! Now, here's a question...Spacemen3 or Loop? Or, best, no comparison or competition between the two dronesters. 😊

Enjoy the eclipse!

Loop for me, always. Hands down my favourite band of all time; I can't think of another band that so perfectly sums up the sound in my head. I've instructed people to play 'Black Sun' at my funeral. I was lucky enough to see them in Vancouver at a small last minute gig that just happened to also be the week of my 40th birthday. Pretty special; I had no reason to believe I'd ever get to see them.

That's the greatest reply, Jamie! While I am a massive S3 fan, when I moved to London in 1993 I met hardcore fans of both bands. Most Loop fans LOVED S3, but the S3 fans were a bit grumpy as there was definitely some competition between the two bands. For the record, I love Loop too! 😎

I think I was actually in Texas for that, I can't recall!

2017 (I just looked it up). We are supposed to be able to see 26% of today's eclipse, but typical of the PNW, it's grey and cloudy!

Ha, 2017 I definitely was there! I have vague recollections, but I would've never remembered unless someone suggested it!
