Yes, but not as well as I'd like. I can master Veiss Heim and most of Blackmore's electric instrumentals. Over the past year or so I've been teaching myself the more accoustic songs, Durch Den..., Possum goes to Prague etc. I think I'll be about 90 before I get to grips with the latter.

;D yaay someone appreciating some of the more modern stuff
Erm - I appreciate some modern stuff - just not a lot of it ;)
the Bobby Womack 'That's The Way I Feel About 'Cha' I have just linked to my son - that's just the sort of thing he uses to get his imagination going!
Okay - more recent stuff - sorry but I really like Lady Gaga. I think I may have lost some credibility now :(
When you like rock so much, it's hard for other stuff to stand up to it.
I have been known to like a fair bit of reggae in my youth but that's going to be dated as well.
Off to the rocking chair I go!

Ayub,
That's a really good question, and something I've thought about in the past. I think it's as much to do with the music of my formative years as much as anything else. My father is a half decent saxophonost, my older brother always had various guitars lying around. I grew up listening to all sorts of music, and I think I've always had a very hands-on, but informal, relationship, with music and musicianship.
I taught myself how to play the guitar, long before you could get free lessons on youtube. And the physical feel of a musical instrument and getting it to express a combination of you and it can simply raise the hairs on the back of your neck like nothing else. (perhaps, a bit of a strange thing to say from a cynical old atheist like me)
I love Jazz, Raggae, Classical, Callipso, Spanish..... But hip-hop. Hmm that's a different story. Take a close listen to most of the hip-hop tunes you hear - a good listen underneath the vocal. What do you find? A back track generated by a cute bit of software and a musical "technician"; and it is this that leaves me cold. As a lover of the physicality of playing music - pressing a few buttons just doesn't do it for me.
Like I said to Astro, it may equally be me decsending into middle age. Oh well.
Regards,

Ayub,
Just had a listen to the Roots on the link you gave me. Yes, I'll give that a big thumbs up - even got my guitar out to play along with the rythum. That's what its all about to me - music is hands on.

Well your taste is very good. Do you play anything?
You're welcome, which one though? there's about five genres in there.
The James Brown one was a big influence on Michael Jackson, he said that performance in particular was the most perfect he'd ever seen, he used to play it back and study it for hours on end.
Ayub
Your mention of Bobby Womack made the years roll back, and all that music, Stylistics, Bobby Blue Bland, Ann Peebles, Chi-Lites, Bill Withers, Gladys Knight. Wow, what a golden age. Wow, I am really old.
Sorry for insinuating you didn't appreciate modern stuffQuote
No need for apologies Ayub - I said that tongue-in-cheek but I thank you for your consideration anywayQuotenow when you say liked reggae, are we talking bob marley or you also like a bit of the chaka demus and pliers type of stuff?
(lines from another song - slightly changed) Here it comes again - that old feeling (http://www.bbc.co.uk/dnaimages/boards/images/emoticons/f_whistle.gif) My first introduction to reggae was a song called 'Moonlight Lover' - a friend of mine played it constantly. I recently looked it up on youtube - I'm sure it never sounded that bad! Anyway, following on from that it was John Holt, Bob Marley, Desomond Dekker (sp?), Jimmy Cliff - singers from the era. As a Brummie - I will have to include UB40 as well. There followed what, as far as I'm concerned, a natural progression to Motown which I still love to this day. My first music love will always be rock though but it doesn't stop me appreciating and really enjoying other genres of music.Quoteeither way, may I take this opportunity to bring up Maxi Priest - Close To You

I hear what you're saying about "A back track generated by a cute bit of software and a musical "technician"", but that seems to be most music these days, hip hop or otherwise. . . although I do find that sometimes an electronicaly created beat is great, because it produces sounds that traditional instruments just couldn't, so I couldn't imagine swearing off music which was generated in that way, I feel I need both kind of sounds in my life.
You ever give The Roots a listen? because that's essentially a band (in the old sense of the word) but just with a rapper instead of a lead singer:
The Roots - The Seed (2.0) featuring Cody ChesnuTT
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ojC0mg2hJCc
Some brilliant genres.
I like Jazz, especially Billie Holliday, Miles Davis, Dave Brubeck, etc.
And electric stuff
And Mike Oldfield ( except Tubular Bells three )
But nobody's mentioned Folk.
What happened to Joan Baez, Joanie Mitchell, Judy Collins, Steeleye Span, Fairport convention, Pentangle, etc.
I won't even go into Scots Traditional stuff as it's probably too obscure.
These days the only new music that really catches my attention tends to be retro flavoured anyway,I love Adele for example but what really excites me is finding an old tune I've never heard before and making up for lost time by playing it over and over.I could spend all night on youtube and often do.
You must be joking Jan....... Adele is just a fat bird who can hold a tune.. like any fat bird at karaoke... but sounds like an obese 8 yrld singing in the bath for his supper....
Seriously..... Adele has all the credibility of G4, before their balls dropped..............
Adele has the musical credibility of the house of wine....
Shit singer, who sounds like my 8 yrld nephew having a wank in the bath on discovering his winkie gets bigger... it's a passing fud....

Hiya,
Can I just post a link here to my favourite piece of classical guitar music: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Du4F4mQkXRo
It's called "La Catedral" by Augustin Barrios Mangore (usually referred to as "Barrios"), beautifully performed by Denis Azabagic. It was originally written in two parts (the first part was added later) and it evokes the calm of the Cathedral followed by the bustle of the market square outside.
For any guitar buffs out there, look out for Part III (Allegro Solemne) in particular - it's astonishing. I've been trying to learn it for years, but my fingers seem to be moving slower rather quicker, so maybe I should stop posting here and go practice instead!
Enjoy.
Wow, absolutely stunning - particularly Part III. I could spend the next 50 years practising that and get nowhere near. Took long enough to master Memmingen (Ritchie Blackmore). Where are those extra fingers when you need them.
Thanks for that BHS, cracking stuff.
In the wake of all the uncharitable, ignorant comments about her death, I'm going to nominate anything by Amy Winehouse.
Have any of you come across Keith Medley?Some guitarist... ;D
Keith Medley makes beautiful music on his own creation; the one-of-a-kind 27-string guitar:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lo5mvTfYSQY
Keith is an amazing talent as a musician, guitarist and master luthier. He designed and built his Medley 27-string guitar in order to play the music in his head.

You may think it's remedial but you can't call it safe, bland or characterless, Level 42 is the sort of thing Alan Partridge might play on a late night drive time radio show and he'd probably have Shakira posters in his bedroom.
Compared to the proper Jazz Funk they fail to emulate, it's as safe as a marshmallow wrapped in bubble wrap and dropped into bath of cotton balls.
Some of Mike Lindup's early solo stuff is pretty good though - pity he didn't seem to have much creative input when it came to Level 42's output.
I appreciate the difference between the early and commercial work, but even then the early catalogue is very 'pop' compared to Roy Ayres, Azymuth, Donald Byrd, The Crusaders, Charles Earland, The Headhunters etc etc.
I just don't get that some people aren't passionate about it.
FastFlint,
I think that it would be fair to describe L42 as easy listening Jazz Funk, but I don't think it follows that the artists I mentioned are (by comparison) 'hard listening' or inaccessible. I'm tempted to say that proper Jazz Funk is more sophisticated but that sounds pretentious and belies the fact that we are talking about dance music which is more than anything else supposed to be fun.
Although I don't rate L42 I'm not too proud to admit that I used to listen to them in my early teens. They served their purpose as an introduction to a genre I knew nothing about, but it wasn't long before I moved on and discovered the amazing artists associated with the emerging Acid Jazz scene.
I'm not sure why you think L42 should appeal more to a UK audience. Jazz Funk - and Jazz in general - has always had a strong following in the UK and if anything fans are more at home with challenging music than US or European punters. And whilst Jazz and Jazz Funk has fallen out of fashion elsewhere the UK scene has continued to flourish, embracing the genre as it has evolved into Acid Jazz, Nu Jazz & Funk and Broken Beat.
Along with Japan, Sweden and Holland, the UK is one of the few places that still has a lot of love for Jazz Funk.
If you do have a listen to Hancock, then I'd recommend you start with his Head Hunters album - 'Chameleon' was pretty much the blueprint for the early UK Jazz Funk sound.

Trying to be taken "seriously"
I haven't been interested in anything he did after the Jam really and thought it served him right for not getting that Mercury prize for his conceited assumption that it was his by right.The look on his face was priceless.
I recently saw "from the Jam" and they seem to play better and have more fun without Weller

Sass - What makes you believe that I think there is anything 'wrong' with those artists?
Not sure why you think they are relevant to the MOR you posted last night, but if that sort of thing floats your boat, good luck to you. Maybe someone else will enjoy the music and discover a band they haven't come across before - that's what this thread is all about. No one is obliged to like (or politely pretend to like) every band or song featured on this thread.

I was in Barcelona for a weekend about 23 years ago and had the good fortune to turn up in the middle of a music festival, Chuck Berry was the closing act, one of the best gigs I've ever been to.
This is my favourite song of his, it was in American Grafitti
Chuck Berry - Almost Grown

Bleedin' 'ell I think we may have been at the same gig
Did you go to the fire festival?
One I was at was the Grec - they had fire walking
The one I went to was at the old Olympic stadium, built in 1929 but they didn't actually get the Olympics, at the end of the Merce festival in September there's a procession of fire breathing dragons around the old town then everyone goes up the hill for the closing show, I got lucky and saw Chuck, the poor buggers a year later got Phil Collins.

Ah I think then we are slightly off the Grec is in the Greek theatre and end of July - maybe Chuck played both - what a great city it is
Love it.I've always said if I had to move out of London I'd have to move abroad and if I had to move abroad it would be Barcelona.

Thank you, SweetPea, I knew of Einaudi but not this - brilliant.
Roddy Frame was the main person in a band called Aztec Camera - the stuff he wrote at 17 is just extraordinary.

not the greatest audio quality but you can't have everything
Just finished watching the pretty forgettable 'Henry's Crime' (hard to believe it was the same director as 44" Chest). Aside from a pretty good turn by James Caan the only redeeming factor was an absolutely superb soundtrack supplied mostly by Sharon Jones, The Dap Kings, Fall On Your Sword and The Budos Band:
I love many different types of music they sounded okay. ;D
I love many different types of music they sounded okay. ;D
yes, and this insight illuminates something profound about humanness - diversity. Developing diversity and adaptability has been key to our success. I rather think that if we all had very narrow musical tastes, then we would not be here at all.
I suppose that would make me an evolutionary dead end ;D
I can't fully relax or enjoy myself in the pub until I've loaded the jukebox with my choice of music. I can't go to a gig or a club unless the music is to my taste........and when it comes to things like karaoke and x-factor that so many people enjoy - forget about it!
A lot of my friends find that attitude strange (if you love music, then you are supposed to get something out of most genres) especially when they have seen my record collection and think that I have a pretty catholic taste in music. Then again I think they are pretty odd for liking any old plastic fodder promoted on the radio and only buying one or two albums a year.
As it happens I've always been surrounded by music. There was lots of happy-clappy interactive music at my primary school*, a strong music curriculum at my comp and my parents had a fairly healthy record collection (Beatles, Clapton, Genesis, Fleetwood Mac etc), but none of it really moved me.
It wasn't until I heard Soul, Reggae, Funk, Jazz and Hip-Hop that music really clicked for me. From then on it became an obsession.
*The negative association of music with religion probably didn't help.
Found this and am hypnotised by it.
Can I quote you on that?

It's been said that Perfect Day is about Heroin. I don't think it is, it was written by a junkie but that's the only connection, he wrote a song about Heroin and funnily enough it's called Heroin. Waiting For My Man was about that too but he stole those words from William Burroughs.

They find it difficult to produce a lot of good music at once.... now
Last year you bought 100 albums by English artists all written and produced in the one year and not over a couple or so?QuoteThey find it difficult to produce a lot of good music at once.... now
You must be looking in the wrong place - I was updating my database the other day and I must have bought more than 100 contemporary albums last year and there wasn't one duffer amongst them. Last year was actually pretty slow for releases and now that things have picked up again, it looks like this year is going to be even better.
What position did they reach in the top selling albums charts and how many had a hit single of them?

QuoteWhat position did they reach in the top selling albums charts and how many had a hit single of them?
Those particular parameters don't necessarily ensure quality - I know, I once bought a Boney M album.
There I've said it now - can you book me some counselling please.
Last year you bought 100 albums by English artists all written and produced in the one year and not over a couple or so?
Like I said - more than 100 albums by contemporary artists - the English don't have a monopoly on good music, although a good portion of the albums in question are from UK artists.
I imagine that most of the albums were probably written and recorded over a period of about 18 months to two years. Obviously some will have taken longer (some artists are really prolific and release an album every year), but I'm not sure why that's relevant. The stream of releases is ongoing and last year was - as I said - pretty slow.
QuoteWhat position did they reach in the top selling albums charts and how many had a hit single of them?
I wouldn't have a clue and I frankly couldn't care less. Popularity is rarely a good indication of quality, especially when so many talented artists don't get the exposure they deserve - hence my comment about you looking in the wrong place. If you are only looking in the charts or listening to commercial radio, then I'm not surprised that you find a lot of contemporary music lacking.

I often wonder at the power of music to alter one's mood almost instantaneously and in a very direct way. Maybe the phrase 'Music was my first love' carries within it a profound truth about the nature of humanness - perhaps music appreciation is an even older attribute of humanness than language ability; maybe early proto humans communicated through song before complex vocabulary and syntax developed.
Also, music, it seems to me at least, seems to be processed in a different part of the brain from that which we use for rational thinking. My evidence that is ear-worms. The nature of ear worms is that they are intrusive, uncalled for quite often. Sometimes I get a tune in my head and it seems to come from somewhere else in my mind, not directly under 'my' control; in fact I cannot shut them down by force of willpower, so they often end up keeping me awake at night, like some noisy damn neighbours who refuse to turn their stereo down.

It's not that long ago that I used to rely on recommendations and reviews and needless to say that meant that I would end up with the odd duffer. Occasionally they would turn out to be growers, but for the most part they ended up in the resale pile.
That doesn't happen anymore, which means I have more funds available to by stuff that I know I will like. Anything I'm unsure about goes in my reserve basket for later consideration.

I really don't like social networking sites (I swore I would never join one), but as a freelancer I was told that Twitter and Facebook can be a really good way of drumming up business.
Although I mostly use Twitter for business I do inevitably post links about music and Twitter is really useful for keeping track of artists and labels: I'm always discovering new music. Some bands and labels follow me back and then through their connections I get the odd artist following me who I haven't heard of before. Push are another good example:

Jesus' Blood Never Failed Me (Gavin Bryars + unknown tramp, 1971).
Remarkable.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E1lnSi7QWY8
Jesus' Blood Never Failed Me Yet is a 1971 composition by Gavin Bryars. It is formed on a loop of an unknown homeless man singing a brief stanza. Rich harmonies, comprising string and brass, are gradually overlaid over the stanza. The piece was first recorded for use in a documentary which chronicles street life in and around Elephant and Castle and Waterloo, in London. When later listening to the recordings, Bryars noticed the clip was in tune with his piano and that it conveniently looped into 13 bars.[2] For the first LP recording, Bryars was limited to a duration of 25 minutes; with the invention of the cassette tape, Bryars was able to complete a 60-minute version of the piece; and later, with the advent of the CD, a 74-minute version.
If I ever feel rubbish, this song cheers me up ;D

A bit too deconstructed for me
I appreciate that and they don't do themselves any favours by starting out with a free-jazz flavoured sax solo. You have to wait for the drop when the groove kicks in.
Oh, and that was the short version. Before going out last night I caught up with the Craig Chares show and whilst playing the longer version, they just had to let play out ("I don't want it to stop" :) ).
I've always thought the guy was a bit of a tool, but he knows his music. I still can't believe it's taken me ten years to find a radio show that could be lifted from my personal collection. Now I know why so many people were upset about the proposed cancelation of R6 - if the closure of the BBC MBs was the cost, then so be it.
I'm going to have to see what else R6M has to offer.

I don't want to name names, but I did visit them because they were Linn and Naim specialists.
The funny thing is that they had Kenny G Albums in their audition library - a far greater crime than listening to a DJ who had the audacity to play hip-hop and other dance music on a Jazz station at 2 in the morning.
Speaking of music equipment, does anyone here know anything about samplers/sequencers? I've often thought I'd like to play around with this stuff myself but my daughter is now interested so I've got an excuse to spend the dosh.Any clues on an affordable way to start?
Nice setup FF. I always found the Rega to be a bit fast and loose. Despite the issues with maintenance I prefer the richness of the Linn and it can provide just as much punch with the right stylus.
It's a pity I don't get to use it much and I'll be sad to see the Linn go when I finish replacing all my vinyl.

FastFlint,
On the plus side Rega turntables work well with most equipment and genres, but I still think the LP12 is worth the effort. When you find the right setup for your taste in music, it just sings.
The Ittok R3 combo is very dynamic though and Rega's vinyl experience has helped them produce some amazing CD players. It's hard to choose between them and Naim.
I used to be a die-hard vinyl fan and thought that CD could never compete. I simultaneously reached a point where fewer and fewer new releases were being released on vinyl and I started to hear CD players that offered similar warmth to vinyl, but with even more dynamism.
Dwindling vinyl releases and new equipment that could trounce vinyl meant that a change of format preference was a no-brainier.
The best thing about the format change has been the rediscovery of albums I have overlooked or forgotten about.
I'm not sure.
CD quality downlads have been around for a while, but I still like to like to own music in a physical form and know that a lot of enthusiasts feel the same way. It might be part of human nature or merely a psychological attachment that we learn. Until the majority of consumers are made up of people who only download music, I think some kind of solid format will survive.
I somehow doubt that higher bitrates will make much of a difference. Most people can't hear the difference - look at what happened with SACD & DVD Audio. For the most part they failed because of a poor range of releases, but the final nail in the coffin was the fact that hi-fi manufacturers were able to make CD perform to such a high level that the benefits of SACD and DVD Audio became negligible.
My biggest concern is a general disinterest in audiophile quality music. Kids today ( ::)) demand instant gratification and don't seem to care about sound quality. It's very depressing to see a group of kids listening to the tinny audio from the speaker on a smart phone without any regard for how bad it sounds. Higher bitrates are completely irrelevant in that kind of situation.
The worst thing is that some engineers will compress the hell out of music in order to make it sound better on mobile devices. The end result just sounds bloody awful on a good set of separates. I have however noticed that this trend has started to fall out of favour - probably because most of the musicians I listen to are aware of the problem and care a great deal about the sound of thir recordings.
You mostly get it from the majors and artists who don't get involved in the engineering/production.
Last year I bought two WAV format albums that were download only and the sound was superb. Then again I was essentially supplied with the same output you would get on a CD - so no surprise really.
The main reason I'm uncertain about purely digital formats is the fact that I have not heard what the latest digital only equipment sounds like. In theory it should be every bit as good as CD (assuming your download quality is good enough).
The other thing that concerns me is equipment failure. If there is a good backup system and you can keep a permanent repository of your purchases via the cloud, then people may feel better about giving up their hard copy music. Maybe it's just a matter of setting up a suitable infrastructure?
I suspect that the audiophile hi-fi companies are ahead of the game and waiting for the music industry and general consumer to catch up.
As with film and TV we need super fast unlimited broadband and an infrastructure that is safe and doesn't upset the major labels and distributors. I think we are probably about 10 to 15 years away from that happening.....unless someone throws another PIPA or SOPA spanner in the works; in which case hard formats won't disappear any time soon.
Some of the advantages made possible by digital music could be fantastic. It would be great to take your library with you everywhere and do things like automatically continue listening to an album when you leave your house and get in the car. On the other hand it will be hell for most DJs - requesters are big enough of a pain already.
In some sort of analogue way, sorting through the physical provides a satisfaction even before playing.
having a seamless soundtrack of my life sounds like a nightmare
I like DJ's to choose for me, otherwise I never hear anything new, I also like the randomness of DJ choice going from new and interesting to old and forgotten
I have to fight my OCD and leave my records unordered so that my listening selection is more random, although it's an absolute pain when I want something specific (that's where a digital library would come into it's own).

I like Bob Marley's version too - but I saw Clapton on TV last night so...

I need to find some mid-tempo music for a funeral - so not too upbeat and not too somber. Anything like a Glenn Miller fire themed tune would be ideal (don't ask, it's a personal joke).
maybe even think about who will be attending the funeral and what they may like to
Thanks for all the suggestions.
I simply mustn't be in the mood to consider the Miller stuff - it's enough to make me chuck myself in the furnace.

Jeff B's version sounds good to me, in a bleak and almost soulless manner
It's interesting to compare the various interpretations, Buckley sings it as a lament, whenever I hear Cohen sing it it sounds more sardonic.
Sandra Burke , who sang it on X Factor has said she didn't like the song and that it did nothing for her, she certainly sang it that way.

Subjective, innit? I like Sinatra's voice, and I like his phrasing. I think he has great tenderness, and as FF said, his bitterness is fine also. I can't stand his cheerful stuff, e.g. 'It's nice to go travelling', but that's just me.
Oh shit, I just listened to it, and it's fabulous. It's all the melismatics.

I hate cheerful Frank, he did all those bubbly songs at some point, which sound awful. He had a blue period, with songs about loneliness, very good. But after all, that voice, and its timbre, fucking amazing. Not really a 'good voice', just infinitely tender.
There was one album of lonely songs, with a picture of him sitting at a bar. Can't remember the title. One song by Goethe on it.
I don't need note perfect, I need him to mean it (or act that he means it) the fun stuff smacks of money grabbing - not that I wouldn't do the same, but I would prefer to be remembered for "Mack the knife, My Way and Clowns

Whilst I can appreciate that Sinatra could hold a note, there's something in all the hype that I appear to have missed. He's just sort of... alright? Tony Bennett likewise. They seem to sing out of time with the music, and whilst in anyone else that's a flaw with them it's treated like genius.

Any classical buffs here. I heard some Strauss that I liked but it was the son or grandson of the big daddy (is that Richard?). I thought I got the name but I can't find it on line. I thought the commentator said Thom or Thomas?
What I liked was the creative way he used the 3/4 timing, if this helps. And the commentator also thought that he was more creative in the way he manipulated this timing than the other Strauss family.
Any ideas anyone?

3/4 timing = waltz time, so chances are it's likely to be Johann Strauss II ('the waltz king'). Richard Strauss was a later, late-Romantic composer of a very different style and completely unrelated to the waltz Stausses.
Sorry I can't help more than this. Though a classical buff Strauss (Johann II) isn't really my thing (whereas Richard is).
People were sniffy about him in his lifetime - he once said something along the lines of "Apparently being able to write tunes is considered old-fashioned these days" (this was when he was a very old man and in the era when lots of very young men - Stockhausen, Goehr, Birtwistle and all the rest of that sort of pretentious, unlistenable wankery - were writing music that almost nobody ever listened to and even fewer genuinely liked).
I'm dredging the memory here but that was the essence of it.

However, relating to what Shaker said of RVW's attitude to the "Wrong-note School", you should try his 4th Symphony - full of fury and dissonance. Of this the composer said "I don't know if I like it, but it's what I meant"

It should not be forgotten that the agnostic RVW edited the English Hymnal.
Another interesting piece by a nonbeliever is the Requiem by Gabriel Faure. I think that the final In Paradisum is so comforting and etherially beautiful that I would have it played at my - possibly humanist - funeral.

I wish your daughter a enlightening journey.
So are you back, we need an intelligent atheist, Shaker and ProfDavey are okay but not in your league.
Ah, bless you, Bhs, the eye thing must be catching because I have it too. It's mere coincidence that the summer holidays are finished.
Hope you stick around, Bhs, you've been much missed.
I hope I didn't sound insensitive, likening the end of summer to your girl going off. It's just that it's another summer over, time together that's gone. It's all so precious.
This is my son's favourite.

I must go to Iceland. Love their culture.At risk of a small diversion, I've just finished watching Fortitude, which I enjoyed greatly - it was filmed in Iceland (in winter to boot) and many have said that the real star of the show was the landscape. Like Scandinavia generally it's my kind of landscape, my kind of weather and my kind of culture, having long had an interest in the sagas and Germanic/Norse mythology in general - I'd love to see it too.

Are you a Mott fan, then? I never knew whether to take them seriously or not. For me "Roll Away The Stone" is amusing as a fifties pastiche, it's a reminder that 1974 was so flucking awful that people became nostalgic for an era of bomb sites and food rationing.I think they are an interesting mix, some stuff is good some stuff crap. But I'm currently in the depths of an oddities of the period mood hence the following

By the way, NS, I was present at an Ayrshire Blind club when the Alexander Brothers - guests at a shindig - started off their set with 'Nobody's child. With the less than accurate ballistic attempts by many members of the audience to aim missiles at Tom and Jack, the duo actually had to stop and leave half way through!I attended a Burns festival gig in the Spiegeltent with the Alexander Brothers and Edwyn Collins. The audiences for both were not the same apart from my wife and me. At one point Edwyn made a slightly disparaging remark about Morrissey, at which point a shaven headed, leather coated audience member threw her pint over him. As he was playing with an ex Sex Pistols drummer, the Record headline was 'Alexander Bros in Punk Rock mayhem!'
The BBC has an article on its website about songs that move us and thus is one of them.
Although it was written with a specific meaning in mind I'll never forget how it made me feel when I first heard it on the radio at a time when I was going through horrendous bullying at school and was completely isolated. Although I rarely play it these days I think it changed how I saw myself and as such it has since got me through all kinds of crap.

great singer
Indeed she is - I saw her back in the day (1980's) when she had hits with Lilac Wine and Pearl's a Singer - both good songs - but for me 'Fool if you....' is the masterpiece from her. Just the perfect amount of yearning in the voice - it is perfection in the shape of a '45. I know she can do bluesier and rockier stuff but the reading of this song in it's own restrained way is quite brilliant.I get that, but oddly, because I love the programme, her singing the intro to A Very Peculiar Practice is what I love most

I do not follow this thread, nor do I listen to much music these days - it is difficult to listen with headphones on and Synthetic Dave reading everything, and because with hearing aids in, the music is just not the same.
However, I hope I may ask a question. I remember way back that all musical instruments had to be tuned to a pitch one semi-tone higher. Does anyone remember (a) when this was, and (b) what happened about, for instance, wind instruments made before that date? Stringed instruments would not be a problem, but any wind ones would, I think.
Thank you.

May I call in here to ask: Does anyone know how I can listen to the pianist's encore of yesterday evening's Radio 3 concert. The pianist was Benjamin something and I have managed to find the composer's name and title of the piece, on the Radio 3 schedules website but although it says 'listen', I don't want to listen to all 2.5 hours,I'd just like to listen to the encore..Try this link
It was Dobrinka ~Tabakova Fantasy homage to Schubert
And the piece doesn't have to be played by that particular pianist - it is a piece I'd like to be able to listen to anyway.
Try this linkThank you for your reply. However, I'm sorry to say that the site said:

Was at a gig where friend's band was covering the entirety of Lloyd Cole's Rattlesnakes as it's 40 years old. They did a great version of thisAnd in the second half they did more covers from around the time, including one of the gorgeous Dying Day from Orange Juice.

NS,It's worth reading the book but in the end he remains opaque in it.
Thanks for this. Many years ago when I was a teenager I used to work at Reading festival for a few summers. I remember seeing JM staggering around backstage one year - I'm pretty sure before he went on stage too. As you say, sublimely talented as well as deeply troubled it seems.
First time ever I saw your face - Roberta FlackIt is indeed. The song seems designed to entwine.itself with memories in such a way that it would be difficult to be sure what the memories themselves are. Tge Beatles In My Life seems similar for me.

I post this as I had Alexa playing soothing songs earlier this evening. It caught me unawares, and as some songs do, it transported me back in time,
For reasons I can only dimly identify, which include the passage of time, lost loves and the yearning for better times in the past, I found my eyes rather damp. I know someone will say that times were never better but that's not what this is about, it is about the feelings evoked by a particular song.
PS What a stunning voice.
