20% off everything sale at Borderline Records, ends tomorrow.

I bought 'Regard The End' last month and it has become a firm favourite in our house. Sort of Leonard Cohen meets Lambchop was my best description. I know others on the forum have been enjoying it too.On the back of this I bought 'Mojave' which is...

Yet another list but at least this one looks as though there were folk older than 15 making the choices. As I've got rather a lot of the albums mentioned I've got to say that they showed impeccable taste. Top 500 abums

Dear All,i heard this young lady interviewed on radio 2 recently.She sounded fun and sang well.In Virgin the other day, and her new album is £7.99 . So OF Course I Had To Have It, In Fact I Ordered Two.Anyway played it this evening.Mike Batt...

I think the Will Young single is pretty good! I don't think his voice is anything special (as is often made out) but it is by far the best/least offensive of the pop/fame bunch. Anyway, I'll get me coat.

So there I was; watching this strange film with James Caan on the telly last night and thinking the sound track was rather splendid."Sounds like Tangerine Dream" I thought.Then the penny dropped - it was from 'Thief' the title of the film. I didn't...

Just got a double EMI CD set of Copland's most famous pieces 'Fanfare' 'Appalachian' etc. Now there's a composer worth a listen if you've not done so before!Some exquisite 20th century classical music that I can really recommed. Fantastic dynamics and...

Just thought i'd give this one a thumbs up rather than the comments be buried in the 'last album' thread.I liked her 1st Cd which got flogged to death by both me and the missus and her latest offering is going to be the same I feel.Latin undertones,...

one artist who you love, but feel very few, if any, other people know about, who would it be ?My nominee:Eric Wood - singer/songwriter from the Catskills of NY. Think Tim Buckley "Happy/Sad" era or a scaled-down Joe Henry "Tiny Voices" with a little...

If so get there early and make sure you catch "Steve Wynn and the Miracle Three", who at Mr Adams request are opening for him.Steve had almost completed a European tour when he got the call to open on all Ryan's European dates. The story goes that...

I've been trying to locate a CD version of this soundtrack. Searched all the web sites that I normally use without any success.Can anyone help on this please?Thanks.

I heard this morning a track thats driving me mad as I can't remember what it is or who did it.It is from around the early 70's and sounds like mid american rock, the riff running all the way through it is like Beck - Loser. It mentions many times...

Does anyone know what the music is that is used for the Glasgow Herald TV adverts? It sounds like a Jazz Chanteuse and the lyrics are something like; "What I choose to do, is of no concern of you..."

I recently bought two live sets of Ellington recorded in Paris. Each one is made up of 2CD's with about 2 hours of music in total, the first dates from mid 50's the 2nd from the 60's. Each one was just 5.99 from HMV and there are a whole series of...

Feeling a bit ill (due to some funky Phad See Ew), I had the opportunity to turn out the lights, light a candle, and listen to music each night this weekend. I tried:M. WardPo' GirlCat PowerSongs: OhiaThese are great artists to snuggle up to on...

Just got Dear Catastrophe Waitress on vinyl. Not too impressed with Trevor Horn's input though.Bob

Al Green's I Can't Stop is magnificent. It's an amazing return to his 70s peak, and stands alongside his classic albums (all of which you've got, obviously): Gets Next To You, Let's Stay Together, I'm Still In Love With You, Call Me.It's pretty much...

Saw Australian Pink Floyd at RAH on Monday performing DSOTM & the usual Hits! (Astronomy Domine was Terrific) The Petite Backing Singer (of 3) who ah ah'd "Great gig in the Sky" had a great pair of lungs (in both senses of the word) I think the APF lead guitarist had been out with the 'Western Australian roof drinking association' when he said "this next song is for Steve Rourke"?? He then corrected himself and sheepishly said "That's Steve O'Rourke" I have just checked the web site and a...

December dates and live DVD from Shepherd's Bush announced on www.buzzcocks.com.Richard

I bought this magazine thinking it would be interesting, but now I'm just annoyed, some of the entries are ridiculous.U2 at number one with 'one', destiny's child at no.8 and hip-hop gets all the entries from 12 to 21. What a waste of paper!

I face a difficult dilemma.Shoud I get the new Radiohead Single, as it has a Four Tet Remix?Radiohead = very bad miserablist indie rockers, I am determined not to support them.Four Tet = Cool bedroom folk sample monger, I am determined to get...

Inspired by garyi's recent thread about the favourite love song, I thought......What was the first song / musical piece played at your wedding ? (more than one entry allowed for serial cake-munchers !)Mine - Wonderful Tonight - Eric Clapton

'Six Star General' is an old favourite, that I have on vinyl.Imagine my delight when I saw that it had been released on CD. 'Lemon Recordings' turned out to be very accurate.The recording (I use the word loosely!) is blatantly lifted from a knackered...
