This was inspired by the Worst Track on DSOTM thread. I got thinking, I have a few albums where the only single or best known track happens to be my least favored one. I was one of the many who voted 'Money' as the least capable track on DSOTM, which...

I am just in the process of transferring some new albums from my collection to my iPhone. These albums will form my in car listening for the next couple of months until I change them again. I never get this right though. Some albums that I love...
George's double bass post got me thinking. My love of music comes in part from having played music for many years. I started with drum lessons (to get me from banging on the pots and pans my Mother tells is), then the cello, and then...

Just booked tickets for Joe Bonamassa in Manchester in Sept - can't wait However, not impressed with the ticketing - £15.50 booking fee for two tickets (Eventim) and they wanted to charge me £2.50 to print my own tickets at home! It seems like a complete rip-off to me but what can you do
