BBC radio-3 is broadcasting the entire Beethoven next month [Jun 2005] according to this article !! Super !! http://www.scena.org/columns/l...05-NL-Beethoven.html

Has a new album out, What We Must.As his name suggests the music is jazz oriented, but very modern, and typically uplifting tunes. There is a wealth of talent here and I think many users of this forum would enjoy this heads up.

I bought this album earlier this week and have to say it is an absolute cracker. Ben Folds doesn't always get the best of press but I have always found his music to be different and engaging. The album is packed full of good melodies and sharp lyrics....

That Noddy Holder's real name is Neville?"Nibble Neville's Nuts" still works I think.

Has anyone else discovered this? I've been enjoying getting my selections for a few months now. A bit mainstream but better value than cable tv, blockbuster etc. I scored 5 out of 39 artists on Alligator Records 25th anniversary collection - one of my...

I so enjoyed my survey of Mozart’s great D-minor piano concerto that I figured I ought to get another version or two. Or five. Yes, five more versions managed to find their way into my collection since I originally wrote my survey. A few of...

Having just posted a Dissapointment, I got to thinking the other way around: concerts attented where you assumed it'd be okay, but your mind was thoroughly blown.Number one for me was John Zorn and Masada, who I wasn't that familiar with but a friend...

Just ordered tickets to see Brian Wilson in August. He's not really my wife's cup of tea, so I am taking my 10-year son, who loves the Beach Boys. It will be his first concert. (I took his older sister to her first Springsteen concert a few years...
