dubai_phil Posted 17 May, 2011 Share Posted 17 May, 2011 My GF is a Farmville addict. So I've been listening to Lady Gaga's new album all evening. OK it got the toes wobbling, but have to say a really neat marketing trick if you know a FV nut her farm is just what you'd expect a floating farm in the sky, sort of like some weird trip with Rainbows & Unicorns and arrghh OK it sounded like radio pop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dubai_phil Posted 18 May, 2011 Share Posted 18 May, 2011 Well, my tidying up continues unabated. I found what I originally started out looking for - my Glasto hat - but also stuffed in an old suitcase was a whole bunch of "Dodgy CD's I must have bought an age ago in Thailand.... And I found MTV Unplugged 3 a double album with 3 hours of OMG performances, Sting, Message in a Bottle, REM, Chris Isaac, Beds Are Bunring by Midnight Oil, Elton going ITT with Don't let the Sun, Cranberries. And of course Eric & Layla. Wow, enjoyed that looking forward to the other 100 or so oldish albums in there over the summer now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hamilton Saint Posted 19 May, 2011 Share Posted 19 May, 2011 I've been listening all day to Let it Be...Naked. What the album should have sounded like before that idiot Spector trashed it. [video=youtube;qR-SlkUgCRg] Glyn Johns (engineer) worked really hard putting together an acceptable LP from all that material. He presented at least two versions of the album to the band. They couldn't agree on either. The project was left incomplete for several months until Lennon took charge of getting the thing done. He gave the tapes to Phil Spector. The original concept of Let It Be (the album) was to record the band as they used to play in the earliest days - live and without overdubs. Perhaps Spector was unaware of this idea; anyway, he overdubbed orchestra and choir on a few tracks. Paul McCartney was appalled at what Spector did with The Long and Winding Road. But to be honest, the band had pretty much washed their hands of the whole thing and Spector was given cart blanche - or. at least, left unmonitored as he put together an album.

My Mum chose the song and still to this day I get comments that it was the most fitting and best chosen song to tell friends and family about his life. I could not listen to it for a couple of years after, but I could not stay away, Its part of my life:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But to be honest, the band had pretty much washed their hands of the whole thing and Spector was given cart blanche - or. at least, left unmonitored as he put together an album. I remember seeing an interview with Sir George Martin, he said that Abbey Road was such a great album because they realised they messed up Let it Be (or Get back as it was originaly known as). He said that although it was never said everyone including him knew it would be the last time they worked together and therefore wanted to go out on a high.There was a tribute to Sir George that aired on BBC 4 the other night, and he came across as quite upset, even after all these years, about being "frozen out" of the Let it Be final production. It could have been a great album, but if you listen to Sir George that may have meant no Abbey Road. Such a shame the film was so sad in parts, particulary when Harrison and Macartney go at each other. They could still work together and have fun even as late as '68. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0WBelmO65J4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dubai_phil Posted 20 May, 2011 Share Posted 20 May, 2011 This one has caused a few ripples across the pond... I also had a moment as well - sat there in shock to see Brains from Thunderbirds is still alive and well and now has a singing career Oh and this is a Scotty McCreery fanzone house.... When Gaga's not playing every night.... (My GF told me to say that) But actually Gaga is gonna be the club/radio/party album of this summer. It sure has me sitting here wanting to get Euro-poppy/techno smashed dance like fat old man stylee with a bit of Scotty country influence in it... Yeah haven't worked that out but it works. Think this album Gaga has out Madonna'd Madonna Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact it is in my car CD player as we speak. Never get fed up with it. I'm listening mostly to his recent stuff now. The album that documents his separation from Daryl Hannah, I'm Alive is excellent - a great collection of songs. I think it's his best of recent times. Of the early stuff, my favourite song is Something Fine (it's from his very first LP). It's the combination of guitar work, singing and song. Perfect!

Hamilton Saint Posted 25 May, 2011 Share Posted 25 May, 2011 And I've been listening to Paul Simon's latest - So Beautiful and So What - constantly. It's brilliant! Even better than his last (the collaboration with Brian Eno). Here he co-produces with Roy Hallee - who goes back to the S&G days. One of the songs on here - The Afterlife - is superb!

dubai_phil Posted 25 May, 2011 Share Posted 25 May, 2011 (edited) The rediscovering of my really old album collection continues. Tonight the GF found Tom Jones Reload from '99 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dn17aYhXudA She's listening to that and going OMG what a great song. I answer Whadda expect it's Van Morrison, and I get - who? Ah bless Some great duets on that, especially the Van Morrison one. The great news is found a whole bunch of my old cassette tapes today. Back in about 84 they made fake tapes illegal here and they got sold off at about 10p each think we all bought about 200 each. Seemed to have about 50 or so left time to dig out an old cassette player, can't play them in the car this time of year they melt! At the time we bought anything by anyone who sounded like we might have once heard of them, a really weird mix from M People through Scorpions to Johnny Cash - lol Edited 25 May, 2011 by dubai_phil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dubai_phil Posted 26 May, 2011 Share Posted 26 May, 2011 OK I've mentioned we became American Idol fans. They had their season finale last night. 2 hour show OK it's hype & pure brutal marketing of new albums/singles/movies/books American stylee but hell for a TV show what a line up they had. The last 4 finalists got to sing with superstar surprises as well as even bigger surprises coming on and doing new singles and stuff. Then in no particular order Casey Edwards who came 5th doing Queen with Jack Black?? which must become a legendary moment http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XEm9yeeM1Io Respect Jack Black holding his own Rocking in front of about a zillion TV audience. Then hell I forget Gladys Knight, Beyonce, Gaga, Tony Bennett, Bono & Edge, Tom Jones, Marc Anthony with J-Lo doing this mamma dance routine, TLC, Stephen Tyler (awesome Dream On), Carrie Underwood (phwoar), Tim McGraw (C&W) and my favourite rocker of the series getting this moment with Judas Priest.... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9USyQWzUcUI&NR=1 But the 17 year old kid that won it Scotty. Jeez he really is gonna be some massive C&W star now and besides actually being a real person (shocked by the fact that he was working in a Grocery store a year ago to that) he has one muvva of a voice. Worth suttling around to listen to some of his covers during the season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember doing a radio interview with Long John Baldry shortly after she died and asking him about her. He said he was impressed by her voice but found her material rather "twee". I was rather annoyed with the comment, but got a little dig in at him later when I referred to his brief stint as a "housewives' choice"-style of pop singer in the late 60s.

I remember seeing LJB as part of "Steam Packet" supporting Chuck Berry at The Gaumont (now Mayflower) in the late 60`s. They were quite a line up:- Long John Baldry - vocals Rod Stewart - vocals Julie Driscoll - vocals Brian Auger - Organ Vic Briggs - guitar Richard Brown - bass guitar Micky Waller - drums and he was quite credible blues singer in those days. He did rather sell out after "Let the Heartaches......." As for Sandy Denny being "twee"....anyone who read this :- http://www.amazon.co.uk/No-More-Sad-Refrains-Times/dp/1900924358 will find a rather complicated sometimes very sad personality. I find nothing "twee" in any of her music and a voice that will be remembered for a long, long time.

Well, to give LJB his due, after his brief flirtation with the "big time" as an Engelbert Humperdinck-styled pop singer, he returned to the Blues. In 1971 he put out a great LP called It Ain't Easy - one side produced by Rod Stewart, the other side produced by Elton John. It featured the amusing lead-off track "Don't Try to Lay No Boogie Woogie on the King of Rock and Roll". BTW, Long John Baldry became a Canadian in the late 70s. He lived near Hamilton first and then went out to the west coast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dune Posted 1 June, 2011 Share Posted 1 June, 2011 I can't believe I just sat through, ( well, skipped through ), that racist supremacist claptrap, ( and you are aware that there are at least 3 separate songs in there ). And as for the diatribe at the end, ( I have tried to copy the grammer as it is presented ) : "Rhodesia. Once a friendly, civilised nation. Built by brave men of good quality. It was threatened by Britain, USA, and small nations with stupid politicians, like Sweden who was in the front to create a black communist banana republic of Rhodesia. Rhodesia was defended by brave men of good quality, but they lost. Zimbabwe. A result of support from former super power, communist Soviet Union, communist China, communist North Korea, socialist Sweden and other nations with unresponsible politicians and governments of poor quality." Not at all surprised that you 'love' it. 6.30 mins is a superb song. Really catchy. An Afrivision winner IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
