Anyone doing RSD today?
at 07:25 20 Apr 2024

Off to Lost in vinyl in Cambridge this morning.
Got my eye on the expanded version of Osmium by Parliament.
Not an RSD release, but also picking up the English Teacher LP.

Anyone else got any wants for today?

Away from the footy for a moment.

The footage of the solar eclipse is incredible.

Tommy Smothers RIP
at 00:43 2 Jan 2024

Tommy and his brother Dick presented The Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour on US TV in the mid to late 60s.

Like much of the TV during that period, their show was broadcast in colour, much of which was preserved.

This clip shows Tommy briefly interviewing then introducing The Who in one of their breakthrough US performances in 67.
Keith Moon's "Pictures of Lily" drum kit looks amazing.
Although some of the pre song bantz had been semi scripted, what happened at the end certainly wasn't!

As Tommy says "This is excitement. And hit it!"

2023 review in music
at 14:22 28 Dec 2023

Keeping it to albums only and not individual tracks, who has caught your ear this year?

Be good to hear what medium you choose too.

I only purchase vinyl, but listen to streamed music most days, so not sniffy about it. I've always just preferred vinyl.

For me in no particular order:

Gaz Coombes - Turn the car around
A Certain Ratio - 1982
Noel Gallagher - Council skies
White Label - Other Voices
Matt Deighton - Today Become Forever
Say She She - Silver

My favourite reissue of the the year was Who's Next by The Who. I got the 4LP version featuring a live gig from 71. Sublime.

Looking forward?

The upcoming LP by English Teacher.
