Only just spotted that John Hiatt is doing a UK tour. Got my tickets yesterday for Manchester. I don't think this is a complete list but looks something like:-Barbican Centre, London Mon 22 Oct 2007 Grand Opera House, York Wed 24 Oct 2007 Warwick Arts...
I just got the new Ryan Adams cd- Easy Tiger, and am impressed, best since Demolition. Several excellent tracks with only a couple of clinkers. Too bad he is such a whiner though.
A couple months ago a local radio station started playing a charming little song called Bubbly. Perhaps it lacks that last bit of gravitas – or any gravitas at all – but it’s so, well, cute. The singer of said tune, the announcers...
The new album from Cherry Ghost has had really mixed reveiws but I think it is great and well worht buying. Any othr views out there?
Being a lover of ambient music - especially Brian Eno stuff such as Music for Airports, and Sigur Ros, I've just been introduced to this lot that I've never heard of before.I've got some orders in for a couple of albums.Anybody know much about them?
Has anyone been there yet? Apparently it's very good acoustically, for sightlines and for bars/catering but I'm interested in what it's like. Does it have a good atmosphere?I'm going to see the Stones and the White Stripes there later this year and...
The Pete Namlook and Klaus Schulze series Dark Side of The Moog has titles that play on Pink Floyd titles. Some of them are obvious but others to me, a non-Pink Floyd fan, are not. Could anyone tell me where these come from?Pete Namlook/Klaus Schulze...

I heard some late period Jonny Halliday the last time I was in France and it sounded pretty good but i don't know what it was. He also did some really good stuff on the Southbank show about him. Anyone got any recommendations?
How sad is this - I heard Serge Gainsbourg and Brigitte Bardot's Bonnie and Clyde at the weekend and I recognised it from the sample used by MC Solaar on le Nouveaux Western. Except I never knew it was a sample. Anyway, can anyone recommend and Serge...
Just thought I'd try to open a debate on this. For my money it's John Shirley-Quirk (call him a baritone or a high bass, I don't care) as he sings with feeling, accuracy, warmth of tone and intelligence. That said, Terfel makes a fiery Elijah and...
If you want to see David will play ONE number live on electric guitar at Odeon Leicester Square look here.The cinematic world premiere of 'Remember That Night: David Gilmour Live At The Royal Albert Hall' (broadcast in High Definition)...From The...
Because I have 3 items outstanding for well over a month:Neil Young Massey Hall,Richard Thompson's latest and Icky Thump.When I contacted them about these I got (for 2 out of 3) a generalised sorry for the delay email. Last Thursday I emailed...
Hi,Has anyone listen to Sophie Zelmani, a decade of dreams, album? It is so good...does anyone has any album of this sort to recommend?Later..
I heard this on the radio 2 days ago:http://store.acousticsounds.com/browse_detail.cfm?Title_ID=6173 And it basically took my breath away.Does anyone have it? Claude
My copy of this arrived today, and wonderful it is. 28 tracks recorded largely at Nick's home, prior to his three 'proper' albums. The lofi recording is of no consequence, the songs just shine through, like Nick was in the room. If anyone is wondering...
Went to see PJ Harvey last night as part of the Manchester International Festival, and what a show it was. The only disappointment was that it was quite short......played for 1 hour then 20 minute encore.I've got most of her records......I think...
OK I really liked that secong ballad/country style song the band used as the second list on their wemble set tonight.. Any recomendations for an album that follows in a similar vein Danny
No Doubt Diccus + the other Forumsters Ewemon, DenisA + Gary Shaw will have their views but .....see last night's set list below as I remembered it but not strictly in order (and yes I have forgot some songs!!) Instrumental intro without B+F and...
He has to be my favorite drummer of all time, and I'd like to get more stuff with him on it, but I just don't know what is good and what is...you know...a drummers album.I have all the return To Forever stuff along with the Miles stuff and a bit of...
No-one ever seems to talk about David Bowie here. I used to be a huge fan and then when he turned his back on stadium gigs and did Tin Drum completely against the tide I repspected him even more. Probably the only mega star not to sell-out.I still...
Hi allAnybody into The Mode and Vinyl should check out these remastered re-issues they are cracking re-masters. The clarity, weight, texture and emotion of the sound is excellent. A great buy if you can find them Sister Ray in Berwick St, London still...
