Five Songs For Friday: # 10 – Remembering Old Favourite albums

I guess I do this most weeks – occupational hazard or whatever – but this week in particular I’ve been revisiting old favourites, thinking about albums I liked a lot 5 and 10 years ago, and 20 years ago…and in some cases just 2-3 years ago… I’ll also give an early mention of Goose Snow […]

Drummers You Just Can’t Beat: # 14 – Vinnie Colaiuta

I first met him (in a musical sense) with the Sting album Ten Summoner’s Tales. I couldn’t believe what I was hearing – the sharp cymbal sound, the crisp snare; the fact that Colaiuta had his head around 5/4 and 7/4 time signatures – playing in 7/8 here on St Augustine In Hell. I think […]

The Vinyl Countdown # 1949

Frank Zappa, Joe’s Garage Acts II & III (1979) The full double album, Joe’s Garage (on CD) was the first Frank Zappa I ever heard. By then I was – if this makes sense – already a fan. I had read about him, I marvelled at what I figured he had to offer. I had […]
