| New In 2022 Not being released on LP until February of next year (though already available on SACD), but available as a pre-order now, is The Fantastic Expedition of Dillard & Clark, on Intervention Records. The album was originally released on A & M... | |
| How did 70s rock music transition into 80s music? @dz13: Crowded House, good one. How about The Records? And Lene Lovich! I just found an original UK Stiff Records copy of her debut album (of which I am quite fond), which will now sit next to my U.S.A. copy. Also active in the UK was American si... | |
| Lamont Dozier Passes Away Songwriters of Lamont’s talent are few and far between. Writing a song is a very different thing from singing it or playing it, and very few bands had/have a songwriter with Lamont’s songwriting talent and skill. The Band recorded "Don’t Do It" (... | |
| Help in deciding which tube preamp to replace my old SFL-2 Art Dudley reviewed the EAR-Yoshino 912, and said it was the first pre-amp he had heard which tempted him to replace his beloved Shindo. Designed and built by tube uber-expert Tim de Paravicini, very well known and respected by his peers, ignored ... | |
| Many of us want to Changegrade instead of Upgrading Nelson Pass designs and builds amps with different personalities, for those who want a couple of girlfriends at a time. | |
| How did 70s rock music transition into 80s music? How anyone can dismiss a decade during which Tom Petty, Bruce Springsteen, Tom Waits, Paul Simon, Steve Winwood, Stevie Ray Vaughan, David Bowie, Rodney Crowell, Lyle Lovett, The Clash, and plenty of others (nice list @tylermunns! I could name a c... | |
| How did 70s rock music transition into 80s music? Yeah, the only thing happening in the 80’s were Dave Edmunds, Nick Lowe, Elvis Costello, Richard Thompson, Emmylou Harris, NRBQ, Los Lobos, John Hiatt, Ry Cooder, Bonnie Raitt, The Fabulous Thunderbirds, The Blasters, Bob Dylan, Leonard Cohen, Ran... | |
| How did 70s rock music transition into 80s music? @shtinkydog: To understand and appreciate my confusion at finding The Cure alluring, one needs to read not just the second half of the related sentence, but the first half as well. Context is everything ;-) . | |
| How did 70s rock music transition into 80s music? Okay @tablejockey, but "Stray Cat Blues" was recorded in the late-60’s, over 50 years ago for gawds sake! Anyone who thinks Keith Richards is a naturally gifted musician needs to watch the scene in Hail! Hail! Rock ’n’ Roll (the 1987 documentary R... | |
| How did 70s rock music transition into 80s music? One 80’s group I for some reason like is The Cure. They were the antithesis of my normal taste in music, and I really don’t understand why I find them so alluring. | |
| How did 70s rock music transition into 80s music? @edcyn: Have you followed the bread crumbs back from the Rock of the 70’s (I agree with you about a lot of the "Rock" music of that decade, excluding the likes of NRBQ, Dave Edmunds, The Flamin’ Groovies, The Dwight Twilley Band, a few others) to ... | |
| I love sad music Has anyone mentioned "Strange Fruit", made famous by Billie Holiday? I love melancholy music (isn’t melancholia the natural human condition? It’s been mine since watching in horror as my mother slowly, painfully succumbed to brain cancer when I w... | |
| Please share photos of your Vinyl cabinet/shelving By 2015 quite a few musicians I had been involved with had died (still more have died since, including Evan Johns. John Wicks, and Emitt Rhodes), and I started seriously contemplating my own mortality (I'm no spring chicken). I looked at my racks ... | |
| New In 2022 Well that's interesting @jafant (Rock Of Ages). The original 2-LP set is one of my favorite live albums (along with their collaboration with Dylan on Before The Flood). By the way, in 2013 Capitol Records released an expanded 4-CD/1-DVD boxset of ... | |
| Is blasphemous Music ok? Good points @tylermunns. I am able to separate an artists art from any cultural/activist activities in which they participate. I approved of John Lennon’s work in the latter, but found his solo artistic work unlistenable (yes, I realize that is a ... |
