Music Room
Mine has to be "Come on Eileen" by Dexys Midnight Runners closey followed by Jeff Lynne's "War of the Worlds" or "Don't Cry" by A##a.
I just got tickets to see Michael Jackson at the O2 Arena in July!I'm absolutely made-up; probably a once in a lifetime opportunity for me as I was too young to see him on his Bad world tour.
Just walked into my local CD store here in Bangkok (surprisingly, or not actually, there are very few CD/record stores here, as most music comes from copies on the street or even iPod downloads in the tourist ghetto)....and they now have a small shelf...
Jamie L wanted people not discussed, I pose Bette Midler. I'd only heard of her when I came to CA after college in late 70s, then she came out with Thighs and Whispers album in the middle of the disco era. It was the ballads I liked most, and heard...
When one looks through their record collection, I am sure that to most of us here it is crystal clear as to what “musical” flag we are flying. We all make choices in life because, in a sense, we are trying to define or represent whom we...
I have never seen a book like this before :"New Orleans Jazz and Second Line Drumming"by Herlin Riley and Johnny Vidacovich(comes with a CD that is terrific)published by Alfred MusicISBN 0-89724-921-6USA $25.95you learn all the secrets of the fabulous...
These broadcasts are just getting better and better. Today's Butterfly was astounding. Breathtakingly beautiful, not a dry eye in the house.
No UK dates as yet but their website says to check back daily as more will added soon.
It’s only March, but I think I have a contender already: Anton Kuerti’s recording of six of Haydn’s sonatas on Analekta. (Okay, it’s a 2008 release, but I didn’t even know about it until a few weeks ago.) Anyway, this...
My Dad's in town and we've spent two great days of listening to classical music at home and at Promusica. Ken C was very gracious and played many of his master recordings for him.My dad loves Beethoven Piano Concerto #3. Any recommendations?Thoughts ...
Neil Young seems to be doing a short UK tour. Tickets are on sale at ticketmaster now.He is playing Nottingham, Aberdeen and Dublin.
In the brave new world of downloading, I finally risked it with this selection of recordings by Aksel Schiotz [like Schutz], the great Danish tenor. It is an album consisting of eighteen MP3 files at 192 kbps, and this is above the usual quality of DAB radio for example, and quite acceptable given the deletion of the original CD release from 1996. I would take great music and music making over silence every time! ATB from George
Hampden Park Glasgow July 14. Tickets on sale Friday 6th 9am.
Hi I thought I'd ask this question!Jon
Test those ageing ears I can't hear anything above 19kHz ,but then I was 60 last Boxing Day
I was looking at the SECC site to see if Steely Dan were playing there and noticed that Ry Cooder is playing in Edinburgh on the 9th and 10th July at the Festival Theatre. Tickets seem to be on sale now.I would assume that he is playing more UK dates...
There's a new version available of this classic concert from 1972. Has anybody got it? Has it been remastered since its original official release in 1994? The sound quality of that release was relatively poor and didn't do justice to a wonderful,...
Not available through Amazon - any idea where I might get this from (on CD) ?Thanks
1. Low and Dirty Three - 'In the Fishtank'. The needle went straight from the last notes to the middle of the label. Scared the living daylight out of me. New Apheta cartridge. Looks and sounds OK though.
quote:By the way Simon, is that Phantom Limb available on vinyl? I couldn't see it in the shopCheersJohnGood Good question John and anyone interested in mastering vinyl! Yes the album will be available on vinyl. It was due to be released in August...
Tickets for London, Manchester, Edinburgh on sale now so a friend has just mailed me.Ten years ago I would have ordered already but feel these gigs may be more nostalgia than anything else.Now if they introduced their friend Neil Young.......maybeHave...
These are some of the discs that MOFI are releasing up till May this year. If they continue to produce discs of the sound quality as last year some of these are going to be excellent. Worth it for the price alone.
During the U2 interview on the BBC Culture Show, the band said that, as most of the music is received by ear buds type earphones, may be they should mix their next album using them.I guess they are not talking £300+ e(n)tymotics type, but more...
Anyone else seen this? http://www.bbc.co.uk/music/release/nfhj/Not quite what I expected to find during a casual browse.steve
GONG (with quite a lot of original members...) are on UK tour this autumn. Thought you might like to know.James
