...But don't you hate it when a group you selfishly consider to be a 'personal' discovery that you share with just a few 'deserving' friends suddenly becomes popular to a mass audience!For example I followed the Dandy Warhols from their first album(a...

If this is 'old hat' I'm sorry but I found it very amusing and thought I'd post about it.I heard someone on the radio talking about lyrics in songs being somewhat difficult to understand.The example given was :LOVE CHILD - D.Ross/Supremes(I've since...

Do they just piss you off?I have just been listening to Tortoise (TNT) and Porcupine Tree (Lightbulb Sun). Both have sequences of sound-effect wallpaper involving kids in a playground. Lightbulb also has twittering birds, a familiar theme. The only...

I buy a lot of used vinyl these days and despite trying to be careful still end up with some dodgy sounding records. (I know I need to get a cleaning machine of some sort) At the moment I look for the general condition, obvious scratches, marks around...

Over the past several months I have taken to buying so-called “historical” recordings more frequently, particularly in core orchestral repertoire. I don’t really have to stretch to explain why: I just prefer the more individual,...

Martin Simpson played at the Towersey Village Festival (somewhere near Oxford) this weekend and his set completely blew me away - the most beautiful folk / slide guitar playing, and great songs.Anyone know his stuff? Any recommendation for ...

I bought the Strokes EP (The Modern Age) which was OK, the title track being a grower, if a rather obvious VU rip off. But they might just be poor little rich kids slumming it with us deadbeats before they go to Yale Law School. Having heard Peel...

New stuff…Mercury Rev All Is Dream - Long awaited follow up to 98's Deserter Songs, and it follows a similar path. I have only managed to play it about twice so far, but my gut feeling is that it is a really great album. Its big, lush, and full...

Recently heard this album at my local Naim dealer and thought it to be very stirring music. I have subsequently bought the CD, the only Naim label in my collection. Not only myself, but other members of the family, have found Bonnie's music delightful...

Has anyone heard 'Late Night Truck Stop' by Little Feat? Apparently it was recorded live in 1973 by a US radio station and so has not been tarted up at all. Sounds a bit like Aurora Backseat to me, but apparently its a complete concert. Its not on...

I’ve just returned from a (damp) weekend at the Cropredy Festival where, on Saturday afternoon, I was fortunate to rediscover the talents of the rather amazing Francis Dunnery. It’s eleven years since I last witnessed the blistering guitar...

Recently I have seen Tool, The Black Crowes and tonight will go and see the Stone temple Pilots there. I have always been astonished at the very poor sound quality. It's very loud...I think the Tool gig was my loudest ever, but the sound upstairs in...

I hate this record! If you do a search on the music forum it comes up more than 40 times. There's a book about it,a documentary of the book, a new re-release every year, pitch corrections, audiophile versions, it was the music at my wedding.... I cant...
