Random musical chat.

[Carvalho Diablo]

Is it a weekly review CD? Like in order or can we review as and when? You may have answered this and I think I saw it but I'm too busy trying to fit an AC/DC statue up my arse to look

Yeh, weekly is good I think?

[AngryOfTuebrook]

TLI have just added a Liverpool gig!

 

Supporting The Virginmarys at the Shipping Forecast on 21st November.

 

So, my new question is - Is it weird and stalkerish to see the same band twice in three days?

(I'm hoping not.)

Both gigs have just been cancelled.

 

Fuck this fucking fuckiity fuckness.

[AngryOfTuebrook]

So-o-o

 

Anybody fancy a ticket to see the Virginmarys at the Shipping Forecast on Tuesday night?  PM me for a free ticket.

[Bjornebye]

Jesus Christ. Genius. 

 

 

[KMD7]

Brilliant that

[Bjornebye]

It is isn't it. Listened to him on radio X last night, song by song review of his new album. Some belters on it. Ended with that, I started crying.

Went to see this guy in Brighton last night.  Brilliant gig.  Charming, disarmingly modest, and annoyingly talented on piano, guitar, drums and bass, and has the voice of a funky angel. His playing of the audience is superb too. This is one of his own songs, but he does sublime live covers of Steve Wonder, Beatles, Beach Boys, Bacharach and Gershwin too.  

 

 

And a Stevie Wonder cover

 

[Boss]

Yeah i know him, he's meant to be a musical genius. He sings in microtonal pitches and understands reverse harmony.

 

Lots of music theory people worship that guy. Glad to hear you enjoyed it Stringy.

[Boss]

Good tune from Noel there. He's had a bit of a resurgence of late. 

[Bjornebye]

Just found out two musical facts I didn't know.

 

Prince wrote Nothing Compares. Love that song.

 

Oh and Depeche Mode are from Basildon wtf

[Vincent Vega]

Hardly revelations them mate. Martin Gore made me laugh on some BBC4 documentary about 80's electronic bands, he said he went into some pub in Basildon when he was home in the early 80's and forgot he was wearing black nail varnish, some meathead clocks him and says "what the fuck have you got on your finger nails?".

 

Edit: This is the clip here:

 

[Bjornebye]

Hahaha. I just never knew mate

[an tha]

I fucking love PJ Harvey.

[Carvalho Diablo]

Great song...

 

[Mook]

A pre-Glam Rock Slade doing The Beatles' Martha My Dear...

If we all end up going to jail for illegal downloading of music, I do hope they split us up by genre.

This looks fucking amazing, Blu Ray of Monterey Pop Festival 1967, out this month

 

Synopsis

 

On a beautiful June weekend in 1967, at the beginning of the Summer of Love, the first and only Monterey International Pop Festival roared forward, capturing a decade’s spirit and ushering in a new era of rock and roll. Monterey featured career-making performances by JIMI HENDRIX, JANIS JOPLIN, and OTIS REDDING, but they were just a few performers in a wildly diverse line up that included SIMON AND GARFUNKEL, THE MAMAS AND THE PAPAS, THE WHO, THE BYRDS, HUGH MASEKELA, and the extraordinary RAVI SHANKAR. With his characteristic v�rit� style—and a camera crew that included the likes of Albert Maysles and Richard Leacock— D. A. PENNEBAKER (Don’t Look Back) captured it all, immortalizing moments that have become legend: Pete Townshend smashing his guitar, Jimi Hendrix burning his, Mama Cass being blown away by Janis Joplin’s performance. The Criterion Collection is proud to present the most comprehensive document of the Monterey International Pop Festival ever produced, featuring the films Monterey Pop, Jimi Plays Monterey, and Shake! Otis at Monterey, along with every available complete performance filmed by Pennebaker and his crew.
