The Vinyl Countdown # 279 

Keith Jarrett, Solo Concerts: Bremen/Lausanne (1973) There’s so much Keith Jarrett out there – and more by the day as he archives swell and see release. And maybe I want it all! I certainly want lots – and was pleased to get this, not exactly rare or anything, but good timing to find this at a good […]

I Paid To Get In: I’ll Talk If I Want…

What do you reckon about this: you paid your money – if you want a beer and a chat that’s fine right? The music is just in the background anyway, especially the opening act that no one has heard of – and sounds like rubbish anyway. Am I right? Or – you paid your money. […]

The Voice Is Gone, Man: When Singers Can No Longer Sing

There’s a demo version of Bob Dylan singing Like A Rolling Stone, just Bob at the piano, it’s just over a minute long. I like it more than the original. It’s part of the original Bootleg series and that’s easily one of the most important collections of music I ever heard in my life. It opened doors, and worlds […]

Finding Hate Mail: Old Friends…

Hate mail is fan mail in this game – a thought that’s probably kept me blogging for seven years… Over the weekend we moved our big three-year-old son into his new big-boy room. That meant listening to a lot of Beastie Boys (fantastic moving/packing/unpacking music) and it meant swapping the home-office and the kid’s bedroom. This […]
