e-mail Just received from YLTHey hey hey, Do you have a tv? Do you live in the US? Well, we're going to be on the McEnroe program Thursday night. It airs on CNBC at 10 pm where we live (Hoboken), and who-knows-when where you are. And they rerun it...

In the past I've been quite a Gary fan (yes I admit it) (Pleasure Principle; A F Electric; Telekon; Dance; I Assassin) but thought his later, mid 1980s stuff (Beserker; Metal Rhythm) was terrible so I lost touch.I know he has produced quite a bit of...

Following on from my post about 'Is Vic there? - what other great forgotten tunes can you come up with - hold on, do I remember a track called 'Love like Blood by Killing Joke ? - as I cannot have any music on at work today, I need some tunes to fill...

I saw the Beeb2 Richard Thompson profile at the weekend, and whilst the program was not great it prompted me to listen to a couple of his albums. I am by no means a Thompson expert (having 2 Fairport albums, 3 Richard/Linda albums and 2 solos), but...

Anyone remember this track - from the late 70's or early 80's, and who did it - it sprung into my head a few days ago and I can't get it out.. I have tried a couple of searches but to no avail. Any help as to where to look would also be appreciated - ...

I registered to their new website but I'm unable to make a search, I get no response from the search. Anyone else having problems since they've changed?John

I believe some here will appreciate what I am talking about...Today I was listening to Rage Against The Machine's Battle Of LA album on a CDX2/202/Hi/Napsc/200/PMC GB1 system and it was *awesome*. I love Rage anyway but this really stopped me from...

Does anyone love Roberta Lee Streeter (AKA Bobbie Gentry) as much as I do?Following the release of the superb Country Got Soul compilations, I've been listening to a lot of BG. I've got the US Capitol vinyl LPs Ode To Billie Joe, Fancy, The Delta...

I hope The Moderators will turn another blind eye to this plug. My band, SLIPPER, is playing again at The Prom, Gloucester Rd, Bristol at 9.00pm on Monday 9th August. Admission is free. The Prom is rapidly becoming our spiritual home & certainly our favourite venue. Plenty of tables & chairs if you get there by 8.30 pm After the huge turn out of forum members at the last one, well Martin D anyway, you are all invited to this one. The totally improvised music is quite jazzy with bits of funk,...

The recent thread asking for clarification about what constitutes rhythm and blues has prompted this thread. There are some albums I can list off the top of my head which, IMHO, are gems which would enhance any collection. For those interested in...

11.35pm Friday 23rd July.Repeated from Beeb4.

I recently picked up these two releases. They are both older Japanese lp pressings (Victor Music Industries, Inc.). Both have fntastic sound quality which surpasses the original lp releases on NEW JAZZ (Notoriously bad pressings). The lp covers are...

Another giant has fallen. Illinois Jacquet RIP

Saw them last night at the M.E.N and they were great.Anyone else go?

Has anyone else heard these? They are truely fantastic but unfortunately £49 a go. They are some of the best sounding LPs I have heard, so ultimately its well worth having at least one in your collection.Vivante are the main UK stockists and...

I popped Magazines Where The Power Is compilation ITC this morning and have had this nagging question all day. The Track The Light Pours Out Of Me has one of the best intro's ever, drum -> bass -> guitar riff. It's the guitar riff that's got...

Last night went down the road to see Jerry Lee Lewis followed by Chuck Berry.JLL, once he had been led on by a stage-hand (God - I can't believe I'm going to these things!!) and had warmed up a bit, was awesome. He's still got some fire in there. He...

Many of us would have loved to see him at the head of the BPO or at least regularly in Vienna, his health problems and somewhat moody temper apparently made this impossible.His operas and Beethoven Symphonies will always be remembered for their sheer...

Talk of subs in the equipment thread lead me to a question.Whats the lowest note and in which piece of music? I am assuming non electronic music hear.I seem to remember it being a Saint-Saens organ piece.Howard
