| When rap came out 30 years ago I thought it was just a fad Right nonoise, Mostel and Wilder were much better in the movie (a favorite of mine) than the two guys were in the Broadway show, imo. The show I referred to above is entitled "Hamilton", and the writer and main-character performer is Lin-Manuel Mi... | |
| R.I.P. David Bowie A Facebook "friend" (I know him from the record business) tonight posted that Bowies death is the greatest loss to music since John Lennon. Really? I responded with a list of the musical people who have died since 1980, reminding him of each of th... | |
| When rap came out 30 years ago I thought it was just a fad Just this past Sunday, the last story on 60 Minutes was a segment on a Broadway Musical that tells the story of Alexander Hamilton set to Rap/Hiphop. I understand completely if that sounds silly to you, but I'm here to tell you I dug it. Written b... | |
| Do you have a secret "guilty pleasure" recording? The "white suit" era---that's what they are pictured in on the original U.K. pressing (there was no U.S. release at the time) of the "Live In London" LP (1968). After they signed to Reprise in 1970 they put out a few good albums (Sunflower, Surf's... | |
| Most of us have this in our collections .... Exactly oregonpapa, musical. Plus, ask any drummer and he'll tell you how hard "Take Five" is to play well. Hard, really hard. Not just technically, but with the right feel. An elusive thing, feel. | |
| Bob Dylan MoFi Hehe! | |
| Do you have a secret "guilty pleasure" recording? tostadosunidos---It was precisely because of their surfing/cars/girls lyrics that The Beach Boys were considered so uncool to like in the late 60's-early 70's (though not by my friends and I, and perhaps you, if you're old enough!). They were view... | |
| Most of us have this in our collections .... Not me, but I did see drummer Joe Morello with guitarist Bola Sete in '67. | |
| Bob Dylan MoFi Dylan's 60's albums are available as Mono LP's on both Sundazed and Sony. Whether or not the upcoming MF versions are better than either remains to be heard. | |
| Do you have a secret "guilty pleasure" recording? Amongst my peers (Americana/No Depression/roots types), it is not politically correct to like Shania Twain. Steve Earle called her "The highest paid lap dancer in Nashville"! I don't care, I like her records. Yeah, it's not really country---it's P... | |
| interesting phenomena in the cutting room Right Myles, the comparison would be of not only the formats themselves, but of the playback gear as well. It was in the latter sense I was suggesting a recording be made available in the three formats. I believe it possible to produce them all in... | |
| Artists' lps that don't get the respect deserved Yeah Slaw, that first album of Andrew's is a good one. I used to see Andrew around Sherman Oaks (in the valley on the other side of the Hollywood Hills), and once attempted to ask him about a project I heard he was doing with Graham Gouldman, memb... | |
| Should a Jack and Coke be renamed a Lemmy Instead of drinking a mediocre whiskey and adding a sweetener to it, why not just drink a better whiskey? Johnny Walker Black is much better, and doesn't cost that much more. Besides, adding Coke to alcohol is for girls and sissies ;-). | |
| Bob Dylan MoFi Geoff, if MF is saying the LP's will be mono, it's highly doubtful Modern Times will be one of them. Mono reissues are always of albums that were originally available in mono, meaning 60's releases. I wouldn't mind contemporary recordings being mi... | |
| If you won the power ball tomorrow night would you Maybe build a small theater with great acoustics, and hire my favorite artists to come play live for my guests and I. A concert a week, maybe more. Engage Kavi Alexander to record the shows, so we can finally get great music recorded in great sound. |
