Ed Palermo Big Band: The Great Un-American Songbook Vol. III – Run For Your Life

Ed Palermo Big Band The Great Un-American Songbook Vol. III: Run For Your Life Sky Cat / CD Baby The Ed Palermo Big Band is a proper big band – all the horns! – but they love nothing more than taking classic rock and pop tunes and making some hybrid/novelty work out of them. The […]

R.I.P. Keith Olsen

Reports are coming in just now that record producer and sound engineer Keith Olsen has died. There’s a chance that you have several records he had a hand in as part of your record collection. Put another way, there’s almost no chance his fingerprints aren’t all over the albums you know and love. He’s perhaps […]

Five Songs For Friday: 19 – Album-Length ‘Songs’

It’s been a while – and since the big news for a lot of people this week was the announcement that Sleep will be playing NZ shows next year (for the first time ever) I thought, in honour of the album Dopesmoker we could look at four single-track albums; album-length songs. So here goes…

Jethro Tull: The String Quartets

Jethro Tull The String Quartets BMG Rights UK Symphonic Rock. Two pretty rotten words when pushed together like that. You’d have to go to ‘Kiddie’ and ‘Fiddler’ to get much worse. Well, the fiddler in Jethro Tull is no kiddie by any stretch – but he’s still stretching the definition of Jethro Tull as he […]

Jethro Tull’s Ian Anderson: Thick As A Brick – Live in Iceland

Jethro Tull’s Ian Anderson Thick As A Brick: Live In Iceland Eagle Rock Entertainment/Shock Here Ian Anderson – he of Jethro Tull!

The Vinyl Countdown # 1527

  Jethro Tull, Aqualung (1971) Reading this book so that takes me to the album again, obviously. I like Jethro Tull but I am not what you’d call a huge fan – I’m happy just checking in now and again. There’s always enough to keep me for the duration of an album though – you […]

Jethro Tull, M.U – The Best Of Jethro Tull (1976) I don’t know this record all that well – but I know the material on it. This was my first time hearing Teacher and Fat Man and Rainbow Blues and Nothing Is Easy though – so worth it I guess to get those under my […]
