Blue said it - Man oh man is Concert for George a great DVD. That first section by Ravi Shankar absolutely blew me away - stunning piece of music - Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers do an awesome version of Taxman - Mike Campbell on lead does a fantastic almost note perfect George impersonation. Great...

Dylan was actually instrumental in bringing the Beatles and the rest of the rock world back to earth after the psychedelic "kitchen sink" productions of Sgt Pepper and its ilk by showing along with the Band that the way foward actually lay in a stripped back approach ala John Wesley Hardin...

How could I forget Common One! Each song on that album is sublime and Summertime in England is beyond words. Spiritual indeed.

Rolling Stone Sucks

Madonna by Britney Spears - Wow, cant wait to read that - must rush out and buy a copy.

Into The Music is a fantastic album and a personal favourite of mine but you cant really beat Astral Weeks now can you?

Special mention must go to Its Too Late To Stop Now - best live album ever!

Whats the tracklist of the bootleg you've got Blue? I had most of SMiLE on MP3's but lost them when my hard drive crashed a while back. Im sure there will be an album and DVD of the show at some stage like they did with the remarkable Pet Sounds concerts, but dont know if they will be releasing the ...

Sulky

I sent you a photo days ago - I will resend it - let me know if you dont get it.

Legal issues??

***Update - just got your email Sulky - sorted.

Are any of you lucky fu*kers in Europe going to see Brian Wilson and various Wondermints etc play , "SMiLE" , in full - Feb 20 is the first gig I think - in England somewhere ? If you are I want to be you!

Hey Bob Its called Handbags and Gladrags an was written by a guy called Mike D'Abo who went on to join Manfredd Mann I think and was covered in the 60's by Chris Farlowe and in the early 70's by Rod Stewart, who does a fantastic version and it is how I know of the song - say what you want about Rock...

I wouldnt say no to "Poking Around Diana's Forums" .

I am very late in giving big ups , shout outs, yo bros, wassups to the wonderful and World Famous L.A resident extroadinaire, the one, the only fighting out of the blue corner , in the white trunks with blue trim our very own THE BOBSTER!!! The Bobsters "quick tour of L.A" (well the bits n...

I played "The Talking Animals" and "The Criminal Under My Own Hat" tonight and was reminded how neglected Henry (or was it Howard?) Coward was in the overall scheme of things. Proof Through the Night was always a favourite of mine, "The Murder Weapon " especially. The s...

wot about a track listing so far Blue?

dissolve.

I just had another look at these graphics. First off - they are great, really well done, Sulky, brilliant. Just one thing struck me - the two quotes from the Epitaphs for Elvis thread - although both funny , I think maybe we should change them to quotes from a thread a little less morbid. I mean - i...

Well, it actually turned out to be 9Mb in the end - but I uploaded this today at work - and it seemed to be succesful - so over to Dr Spooky and Mr Chair.

Cheers

Make that 6.6 Mb - that should be ok yes?

Men are always exaggerating the size of things huh?

Well I converted my track to MP3 but its still 11Mb - Im thinking this might take forever to upload? Or should 11 Meg be ok? (It is a 7 minute track after all )

There are reports on the net of an apparent suicide. This really sucks. For those of you not familiar with the mans music he won an Academy Award for his song Miss Misery from the GoodWill Hunting soundtrack and his albums XO, Either/or and Figure 8 are essential. Brilliant songwriter, beautiful sin...

I got North today, and I must say I was a bit dubious, Im a fan of the "rowdy" stuff (although I am also a big fan of the mans voice , and Almost Blue has always been a fave). I tried to listen to it at work today and with interuptions etc , from what I heard through crappy headphones, it ...

righto!

I'll get mine uploaded ASAP.

Spooky - because Thursday night is bowling night of course! Sheesh.
