i just bought a kenji siratori book, i'm waiting for it to arrive but, what i've read so far is fucking amazing. he's a hell of harsh noiser too.

and mark prindle is awesome, he's the only person i have seen or read who likes yes more than i do and is not a progrock geezer nerd who also loves every fart coming our of jethro tull or emerson, lake and palmer.

...now that i'm thinking, i had a dream about yes last night, that i was at their show, but before it started, i saw the band and they were discussing the set list and jon anderson was saying "we have to close with 'owner of a lonely heart', the fans expect it" and i got a little sad and horrified.
