GrooversAs I continue to miss gigs by bands that interest me, the thought occurs that, as I tend to find out about it here, this would be a good place to post news about upcoming gigs.For example, The Australian Pink Floyd are on tour right now and...
One of the singers I enjoy listening to is Melissa Etheridge. I was listening to her latest album in the car this morning (it is very good). I don't know what made me think of this, but she now has put out eight albums, all or most of which has been...

Here's one that I'm happy to see now available on wax, Miles Davis, "Live Around the World". John
Hi, Music Lovers, Not sure if this has already been posted , but a new Blue Nile album is due on the 30th August, which I read about in Hi-fi choice and is even listed in Amazon. A mere 8 years after their last album , the patchy but still worthwhile...
felt I should point this one out - I'm new to them but I gather they've been around for a while. Bought this CD a few days ago and It's like being a teenager again. After 3 plays it lodged in my head like some kind of synthetic hypno-drug and now...
Given that the new release "Medulla" is her 3rd consecutive record of absolute brilliance, given that she is one of (if not the) most innovative artist working in popular music, given that she's not been mentioned around these parts for some time, I...
I just bounced over to the Bumbershoot page and behold- The Pixies will be appearing on the main stage this year (Mon, Sept 6)!Yes! Sweeeeeeeeet!!!Of course I imagine kids will camp out for several days to receive a wristband (required for the main ...

probably the wrong place for this, but, whatever...i was listening to radio (NAT02) a few days ago and heard this wonderful music which made me stop working for a while to listen. turned out to be "an die muzik", schubert, with ian bostridge.i dont...
null(do you hate those genre classifications as much as I do?)With the passage of time and some opportunities to dig back into some of the older pieces in my collection I sometimes find that pieces that I used to think were wonderful are, in...
From the early day on the Velvets inspired 'Modern Lovers', with inteligent, funny lyrics, right through to the latest 'not so much to be loved as to love', Jonathan has always made be smile and tap a toe.Favourite has to be 'Rock and Roll with the...
This album is brilliant.It was released in the UK in July to very little publicity. The recording is superb, the production is spartan but totally effective. She has a beautiful and pure voice which suits the material to a tee.The songs are varied yet...
These have been mentioned on various posts as being widely available in the US but rare in the UK. Research over the last couple of weeks on UK availability on the high st (and hence mainly Virgin and HMV) prompts this update:UK available in the HDCD...

Seeking recommendations in this underappreciated style of guitar playing. It's easier for me to give examples than describe it; think of Knopfler's playing on "Setting Me Up" (off the first album), or Elliot Easton's solo from "My Best Friend's Girl"...
Just noticed that my record club (which doesn't sell records, just CDs) is selling remasters of all of Steely Dan's studio albums. Although it seems like so many artists are having albums remastered these days, this one caught me by surprise because,...
Five artists/releases currently on the top of the pile and in heavy rotation:1. Kim Richey "Rise" ... if you like Mindy, Patty Griffin, and Lucinda, this is for you. The track 11 duet with Pete Droge on "Electric Green" is a highlight.2. Dave Matthews...
Hi,Was at the cinema the other day and watched an ad - identified the music as Death in Vegas' 'hands around my throat' from the scorpio rising album.recommendations please?
For those into the unusal this is an artist worth taking a look at.Hard to describe, sparse electronica I guess. I have got Closer and its really a superb recording.
Anyone here going?I bought a couple of tickets from lastminute.com and they may still have a few.The only problem is, I am a bit of an evol / sister / daydream nation kind of guy and haven't bought anything since dirty (apart from goodbye 20th...
Fridays at midnight. Radio 2.His Saturday show apparently remains.
I recently picked up "Let's get it on", "What's going on" and "I want you" remastered.Compared to my older CD copies they sound much cleaner and less bright.The CD's are more expensive but you get a bonus CD with alternative takes of each track. These...
