...in amongst all your 78's?Quote:

I have the 12 inch version of that. Great production and chrystal clear.Quote:

My favourite Kraftwerk track is Neon Lights. Somehow, they can make dumb synthesisers and drum machines actually swing during the extended work out.
Hit HMV for a music update.
Bought:
Pink Floyd, Endless River. It's OK but disappointing sign off.
Embrace, new one. Meh.
Robert Plant, new one. Hasn't really caught my attention yet after a couple of listens.
Status Quo. Aqoustic. Shouldn't work but it does. Brilliant, fun and happy record. Highly recommended
Foo Fighter new one. Fantastic.
Pnau with Elton. OK as non challenging easy listening.
Simple Minds new one. Not listened to it yet.
London Grammar. Wild card.Not listened to it yet.
If rock musicians had been banned from making music after they reach 60, what great songs would we never have heard? Balance this against how much disappointment we'd have avoided.Quote:

would we count JC as rock?
i know what noel means. planty is doing ok. wilco johnson is burning bright, but some of the others should know better.
Haven't cracked open my Endless River vinyl yet, waiting for a bit of quiet time, just me and the dog :DQuote:

No; much better than thatQuote:

I think it probably does deserve a 'lights out, cans on, splifftastic' moment. I can see where they are coming from with the project. There are one or two flashes of Saucerful stirred into a mix which is mainly offcuts from The Division Bell. So its derivative but I suppose they were consciously bookending their career as well as playing a tribute to Rick. The problem is, it mostly sounds like a re-mix of DB rejects...because that is what it is.Quote:

I shall post my thoughts (and those of the Mutt) after I've had a listen , really like Louder Than Words, must admit to an almost tearful moment when I first heard it on an early morning drive into work the other week, I've only heard the Acoustic Quo on the radio but keep expecting 'em to break into Knees Up Mother Brown :)Quote:

On the Kraftwerk, on a vist to Dussledorf a few years ago, I managed to hunt out Kling Klang Studio! Got a pic, there was a nice bicycle outside. I think it was Florians or Ralfs! :)
Vinyl its the future :D got a pristine copy of The Wall and a slightly less pristine copy of DSOTM for less than 20 quid at the weekend, having a great record shop close at hand is brilliant, the only downside being that I tend to buy better and better copies of the same thing, 3 copies of NY Harvest, 2 copies PF Wish You Were Here etc..etc...Quote:

I really want to like London Grammar... But it just doesn't work for me.Quote:

Also wanted to get Royal Blood but the bill was getting high!
Not very QAH. Neighbour having new windows fitted
Terri Hatcher pulls out of "I am a celeb..." :(
She has far too much class for that show so probably a good decision though the 100K they are reported to get (she was probably offered more I bet) might have seemed attractive to her at the time.
Someone had to make way for GrahamQuote:
