Just bought the Badly Drawn Boy soundtrack to the film above. Enjoying it a lot, it has some great songs and even the short instrumental sections seem to fit well. Anyone else heard it yet?I missed out on 'The Hour of Bewilderbeast', if this is of...
Kerrang is not my reading of choice, but last week they had a free CD on the cover with some really great stuff on it:Radio BirdmanThe SaintsFlamin' GrooviesThe HellacoptersDead KennedysCompulsive Gamblers+moreOnly £1.80 - rip the CD off the...
Currently listening to this, the whole album is downloadable from "www.neilyoung.com" despite not being released until April if there are any rusties out there. Enjoy
Ok jazz fans more help please! I have 'Last Date' from 1964 which has some interesting music on it, I bought this on vinyl 20 years ago while trying to get jazz, I've played it maybe 6 times. Anyway, the cuts where Eric plays bass clarinet and alto...
Great Violin SonatasFor a while now StephenJohn and I have been talking about violin sonatas on the Bashmet thread, and I thought let's take it to a separate place. This after all is an extraordinary genre, in which two completely different...
Well have just returned home from a CD & Record fair in the locality. Gentlemans and Ladies, I am well chuffed here is what I picked up: Fleetwood mac: Rumours Stevie wonder: Hotter than July Steely Dan: Greatest Hits Yes: Tales from Topographic' (got this because my version is knackered) Cat Stevens: Teaser and the Firecat Yes: Fragile, (I only picked this up the other day but I think this is an original, could someone tell me what to look for?) Gary Moore: Back on the streets Don McLean:...
With classical music on public radio in the U.S. declining, I find myself listening more frequently to radio programs streamed over the net. Here are a few of my favourites. Please post some of yours if you have any.Here Of A Sunday Morning...
Having a strange urge to listen to The Wall I looked in my local CD store/exchange and the theiving bastards wanted $32 for it new. I looked on eBay and saw the following offerings, which somewhat confused me:Pink Floyd - The Wall - OriginalPink Floyd...
This situation is probably replicated on their website, but if you are in London (UK) then check out HMV Oxford Street. There's a big sale on the Simply Vinyl line of stock. Loads of 180g pressings going for £12.99 (instead of...
How many of you partake of the dark delights of bootlegs? I don't mean MP3, I mean vinyl / CDI have been almost universally diappointed in my purchases, most of which sound as if they have been recorded on a portable cassettte with the batteries...

I go to the cinema far too little, it tends to take a film about something close to my heart like Factory Records to get me there these days - I was in luck, Factory Records was exactly what this film was about. It is told from Tony Wilson’s...
Anybody heard the above yet ? I've never been a big Shelly/Buzzcocks fan, but love Devoto and Magazine. I was just curious which of the two if either has the biggest influence on the sound of this record.Simon
where can I go to buy vinyl ? new and second hand recommendations welcome. (and please, no smartarse tell me Carpetright or B&Q) Any other clues for tracking down decent shops, like Motion or Knowhere on the net? DS
Found The Herbaliser: Something Wicked This Way Comes.Some nice Ninja Beats well worth a look for those of you in the modern tilt.Also got 'Points in Time 003' from the Good Looking Records org, have this company ever produced a bad record?Get it laid...
...country and western.I took a brave trip over the river to Birkenhead earlier tonight. Hmmm, Birkenhead, the town where chasing the dragon has been done to death - they caught it, stole its wheels, its currently jacked up on a pile of bricks at the...
HelloWe have had a fantastic review of A London Concert Naim CD037 in May's Gramophone. There isn't one negative comment, no caveats at all. The full review should be in the Music section of the website by tonight. In the meantime, here are some juicy...
Deep in the bowels of the piles I came acrossThe Notorious Byrd Brothers, The Byrds.Francesco Zappa, Frank Zappa.Both surprising, neither ridiculous.What will I find tomorrow? When there's so much old music to listen to how does new stuff get an ear ...
I'm specifically looking for a cd of his Musicraft stuff from his heyday, not the later stuff on Delmark. Thanks.
Was down in Wilton near salisbury today and found a second hand record/cd shop.I discovered an album that a few years ago I really wanted to get hold of but consequently forgot about.Anyhoo it was in there for a fiver, Mother Earth: The People Tree.I...
I went to HMV and blew £100 on vinyl. My new tonearm made me do it!Fila Brazillia "Old Codes, New Chaos": This is the new re-release of FB's first album (from 1994), and it still sounds great. FOR ALL YOU FB FANS OUT THERE, BUY IT WHILE YOU...
The best way to begin is to just start buying and to discover what you like. With Naxos and Arte Nova both offering cheapie discs, this method needn't be too expensive. The majors have got into the act, too, with the Eloquence series from Universal...
I've got the latest BoC album Geogaddi and really enjoy it. I've seen another album locally but didn't see the title...it had a bluish, almost watercolour dipiction of people on the front.Does anyone know what title is, how it compares to the latest...
anyone out there remember an album by Linda Lewis called Hacienda View?I can't track it down, no tracks even on audiogalaxy. I'm beginning to think I imagined it!
Yes , I guess there aren't many of those - unless you include Mick Parry of course . After a bit of hype , i bought the streets - Original Pirate Material which is bloody fantastic - plenty of wit and great lyrics .I'm trying not to be a groovy...
