Tell em is that the same Michael Stanley that used to record as The Michael Stanley Band in the 70's? I remember his first disc had Joe Walsh on it. God I haven't heard him in years.

Hi Ewen

One and the same.

I have listened to Michael's music since 1972 and have owned all of his twenty plus albums at one time or another in various media. This is one of his best "solo" works ( a new one has just been released but haven't got it yet ) and includes a darn decent cover of Eleanor Rigby.

I grew up in Ohio near Cleveland where he still plays regularly and is an afternoon dj. I only got to see him live one time, around '76 with the original four-piece MSB opening for Blue Oyster Cult at the Akron Civic Theatre in Akron Ohio. What I remember they were very good (thick haze in the room that night ) .

And, yes, Walsh was on his early albums as JW was a "local" in northeastern Ohio, at that time with the James Gang.

Michael has always been one of those "why didn't they make it big" storylines, but, he has never stopped making solid, well-written, middle american rock and roll.

best,

Jeff A

DC4C is part of the current line-up of incredible music coming out of the Pacific NW USA ie: Portland and Seattle. A good link to some of this is www.barsuk.com

I was asked to "catorigize" this genre of music and the best I could come up with is "post-punk pop". Certainly influenced by Brit pop, punk, and Seattle grunge.

Others that fall under this umbrella are Spoon, John Vanderslice, the Decemberists, Chris Walla, Ben Gibbard (the last two members of DC4C)Laura Veirs etc.

I think it is some of the best, freshest stuff being made today.

Thanks for link Jeff!
Listening to some new music makes my brain very exctided, my ears very suspicious and my back electric (which mean a lot of nice sensations to me).
I'll have my usual "mumbling" for an unknown lap of time and then maybe i'll post the cover.


And yes, i'm getting like an old grumpy spinster.

Thanks a lot gain!

Do you know this place:

Etta Scollo - Canta Ro. Exceptional performance. Have ordered Maria Del Mar Bonet today, inspired by a song on the radio. Reminded me La Scollo, somehow.



I'm foreseeing the end of my posting, here. In fact, if I try to think of a reason why I do this nothing good comes to mind (except for posing and other selfish reasons). Just looking at the posts of the last 24 hours, I start understanding that I'm not in the right peer group.

Stefan

Just getting into Led Zep and this Classic Records re-issue is great!!!







Dean...

"Since I've been Loving You" is one of my favourite Zeppelin tracks.

Can't stop listening to music tonight with a big smile on my face - can't think why

Already got through:
Babyshambles "Shotters Nation"
CSS - "CSS"
David Bowie - "Young Americans"
now on
Noisettes - "What's The Time, Mr.Wolf?"

all sounding great

I would miss you, Stefan.

I make my postings based on what I am actually listening to, which is reflective of what is currently stimulating to me or what engenders fond and hopefully perspective-filled memories. We all are an accumulation of experiences and there are many ways to attempt to share those experiences with others whom we assume share similar interests, which ultimately leads to further inter-sharing of experiences which hopefully opens opportunities for new discoveries, in this case of music and artists.

Without you I wouldn't know of Chris Jones, without Ryan D and JWM, I wouldn't have worked at the discoveries in Gomez music, Jim L and Ewen have tastes often similar to mine so I am always aware of what they chose to listen to.

To me, discoveries of mutual likings and the sharing of ones personal knowledge/perspective/experiences within those shared musical passions is what this thread is all about.

The past 24 hours is no more posing and selfish then scrolling back weeks or months to pages of exchanges between, say, you and Haim. I read those with interest and try to learn a little each time, albeit about genres I have little if any experience in or knowledge of. That doens't invalidate either of us.

If I am spending too much time on here lately it is partly because I am home with time on my hands and music on my mind, which I enjoy sharing with others of a like mind. And, if, god forbid, this is based in the "real" music versus "crap of the last twenty-five years" thing, I thought there was room for all of us here.

Maybe not. Best to you, in whatever choice you make.

With continued respect,
I am

Marvelous late night piano music to keep Stefan with us.

It's been a funny - peculiar sort of day; happiness to be reported later if sensible - but I had an absolute marathon day with the gramphone!

Started with Edwin Fischer playing the piano in Busoni's arrangement of of Bach's the Saint Anne Prelude and Fugue {HMV in 1934] followed by Fischer's arrangement of the Ricecare in Six Voices from the Musical Offering [effectively a Fugue] for string orchestra which he recorded for HMV in 1933 in Berlin. Then came the Pastoral Symphony [VSO/Klemperer/ Vox/1950 or 1954?], followed by the Bach Double Concerto in D Minor with Arnold Rosé [G Mahler's brother in law] pairing his daughter Alma with members of the VPO recorded by HMV in 1928. She was murdered in Auschwitz. He died of a broken heart in 1946, having discovered his daughter's fate a week earlier. He was forced to resign from Concertmeister of the VPO in 1938 and settled in Blackheath, London for his remaining penniless days.

Interval.

Dvorak New World Symphony Czech Phil [Supraphon in 1950 78 transfer] and the String Serenade played by the Prague Soloists [selected students in Prague of Prof. Vaclav Talich] recorded on tape by Supraphon in 1950 all led by Talich. Then the Great C Major Symphony of Schubert [1969 Prom: BBCSO led by Boult]. Followwd by a Polish Beer and Vodka session during which we watched the first Ludlam Bourne Film!

Mahler stalked the day's listening without showing his musical face!

Hopefully things will looks even finer next week! ATB from George
