Also to spike-x cheers for taking the time and contributing his thoughts.<br /><br />The sole purpose of this blog is to share music. The essence of karma is the unconditional and selfless act of giving. I encourage all responses to what goes on in this blog whether they are complimentary or negative. I will also exhibit my right of reply.<br /><br />I've had a couple of negative responses of late, from the 'e police' and the obligatory 'Anonymous' expressing their dislike for me 'leeching' and 'stealing' music...... all of the music on this blog can be readily found on countless sites across the net .... I see it as sharing, the giving without the expectation of reward. As far as the artists are concerned they receive a minuscule amount for each unit sold, the main financial gain for bands are merchandise sales and ticket sales for live shows ... blog spots are promoting their music to people who otherwise would never hear it.<br /><br />Basically if you have a problem with this don't download the music, don't search blog sites .. that is the essence of 'freedom of choice' But personally I suggest YOU GET A LIFE. The world is full of negativity and selfishness, with the support of the people who contribute to this blog .... the journey continues.<br /><br />I've also had skids over as ausrock telling me I should 'acknowledge' the original uploaders. Well mate I try to give everyone a mention.... but hey I'm not perfect..... sometimes I forget where the music comes from.... sometimes I just don't have the time .... to anyone I have omitted in recognising their contribution ..... please accept my sincerely apologies <br /><br />Message to the maddies crew and any kind Samaritan'<br /><br />I need some help...... been searching all week without much luck .... I'm after some music from 'The Waifs' found their new album ... but locked with a password...... also after anything by 'Motor Ace' and 'Alex Lloyd' ....... any help would be appreciated<br /><br />thanking you<br /><br />stay tuned got some music from 'Nick Drake' for all to enjoy ...... I'm in acoustic mode at the moment.<br /><p class="MsoNormal">again cheers to all who have contributed</p><p class="MsoNormal">peace and love<br /></p><p class="MsoNormal">bruce<br /></p><p class="MsoNormal"><br /><br /><br /></p>brucehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06254904706943167053noreply@blogger.com234tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5868144579588071953.post-6047276790295521832008-02-09T22:35:00.001-08:002008-12-10T16:40:26.734-08:00Supergrass – In It For The Money<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_VRIHR_HTy7k/R66bT4lGYBI/AAAAAAAABfo/_sdFWO695k0/s1600-h/253200.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_VRIHR_HTy7k/R66bT4lGYBI/AAAAAAAABfo/_sdFWO695k0/s200/253200.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5165236588548349970" border="0" /></a><br /> <p><span style="font-size: 9pt; font-family: "Comic Sans MS";">Supergrass – In It For The Money<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p><b><i><span style="font-size: 9pt; font-family: "Comic Sans MS";">In It for the Money</span></i></b><span style="font-size: 9pt; font-family: "Comic Sans MS";"> is the second <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Album" title="Album"><span style="color: windowtext; text-decoration: none;">album</span></a> by <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supergrass" title="Supergrass"><span style="color: windowtext; text-decoration: none;">Supergrass</span></a>, released in 1997. <i><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NME" title="NME"><span style="color: windowtext; text-decoration: none;">NME</span></a></i> called it "more fun than watching a wombat in a washing machine" and named it the 10th best album of the year.

font-family: "Comic Sans MS";"> are a <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rock_band" title="Rock band"><span style="color: windowtext; text-decoration: none;">rock band</span></a> from Norway. The group is composed of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hans_J%C3%B8rgen_Undelstvedt" title="Hans Jørgen Undelstvedt"><span style="color: windowtext; text-decoration: none;">Hans Jørgen Undelstvedt</span></a>, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lars_L%C3%B8berg_Tofte" title="Lars Løberg Tofte"><span style="color: windowtext; text-decoration: none;">Lars Løberg Tofte</span></a>, and <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arne_Kjelsrud_Mathisen" title="Arne Kjelsrud Mathisen"><span style="color: windowtext; text-decoration: none;">Arne Kjelsrud Mathisen</span></a>. Its members grew up together in a small town on the southern coast of Norway called <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lillesand%2C_Norway" title="Lillesand, Norway"><span style="color: windowtext; text-decoration: none;">Lillesand</span></a>. After developing their sound together, they moved to <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oslo%2C_Norway" title="Oslo, Norway"><span style="color: windowtext; text-decoration: none;">Oslo</span></a>, where they currently live when not on tour.<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 9pt; font-family: "Comic Sans MS";">Their music is a breed of their own, combining elements from a variety of styles to call their own. Heroes & Zeros got its name because it represents the highs and lows in life.<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 9pt; font-family: "Comic Sans MS";">There is a myth in the rock-industry, which claims that the more hard work you put into it the more you deserve success. The number of gigs and miles in a rusty old van supposedly defines whether or not you deserve to be taken seriously. Heroes&Zeros deny this myth by throwing in the golden X-factor that many aspiring bands often are lacking. We are talking about something as simple as a talent for making classic rock-songs. In the course of their four-year existence Heroes&Zeros has shown that it need not take 15 years to break through as long as you underline amazing talent with hard work.<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 9pt; font-family: "Comic Sans MS";">Hans Jørgen Undelstvedt, Lars Løberg Tofte and Arne Kjelsrud Mathisen climbed onto a stage together for the first time at Skuret in Oslo in 2005, after spending two years in a cramped rehearsing room deciding on which direction they wanted to go musically. A friend of the band once described the music and said: While the bass-player and drummer has both feet in American rock, the singer wants to sing in a British indie-band. When asked about important albums the trio mentions Radiohead, Sonic Youth, Flaming Lips, Motorpsycho and Indie-rock is heavily represented. - Sebadoh and Pavement paved the way through lo-fi, and we have had long standing relationships with Pixies and Spiritualized, says singer Hans Jørgen.<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 9pt; font-family: "Comic Sans MS";">The audience was quick to embrace the epic and melodic rock of Heroes&Zeros. - On our first show 90 people showed up, on the next 180, we doubled our audience instantly, Arne says. After a couple of gigs the trio entered one of the local finals of Zoom, and won easily a spot on the coveted Zoom-tour which took them all over Norway. - Ever since our very first gig we have focused on playing live as much as possible, it has snowballed from then on really, explains Lars<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 9pt; font-family: "Comic Sans MS";">It snowballed quickly for Heroes&Zeros, who did not waste any time deciding what to do with their music. - We recorded our first song "Cellophane" because we needed something to send off to by:Larm. That recording went on to win the "Urørt" final on the national radio station P3 and subsequent heavy rotation. In 2006 they released "Circles EP", and the success on P3 secured Heroes&Zeros a spot on National Broadcasting's annual P3 Sessions-tour that summer. Heroes&Zeros opened the event playing live for 5000 people at Youngstorget in Oslo. Once again Heroes&Zeros proved what they're good for, even though the singer Hans Jørgen admits a black out for most of the half hour they were up on stage. - I can barely remember a few faces upfront who sang along, other than that it's all a blur to me, but it's a handy experience I guess now that we're lined up for this year's summer-festivals<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 9pt; font-family: "Comic Sans MS";">This year's summer-festival-rounds is based upon "Strange Constellations",which is the result of three years of dedicated hard work and fine-tuning of the trio's talent for writing songs. In a time when media proclaims Armageddon for the music-industry and others claim that the album-format is smothered by downloading of singles and an increasing focus on hits, "Strange Constellations" is proof that you ought to spend more than three or four minutes on an artist. - I believe that the audience will make a return to the album. People really need that hour or so of music, and not just one song by an artist. Creating a cohesive and complete album was a constant ambition for Heroes&Zeros when they recorded the ten songs on "Strange Constellations". - It's important to have a plan in the studio. We have recorded an album, not just ten random rock-songs.<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 9pt; font-family: "Comic Sans MS";">In this respect Heroes&Zeros is in a unique position as a Norwegian rock-band who both produces radio-hits and full-fledged solid albums. The single tracks "Cellophane" and "Into the Light" are already modern Petre-classis so to speak, whereas their latest single "A Strange Constellation" showcases a new side of the band. - "Strange Constellations" does not rest on just a couple of tracks, there's no fillers thrown in between a couple of singles. We're definitely an album-band; that our songs works on the radio is a pleasant bonus.<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 9pt; font-family: "Comic Sans MS";">The lyrics contrasts the epic rock on "Strange Constellations", however, opposed to the music the lyrical unity was discovered more by chance, according to the writer Hans Jørgen. - We considered naming the record "Always Wanting More Than Enough", which is a line from "Headlong Kicks". It orbits around voracity, turmoil and restlessness, which reflects the lyrics on the album as a whole; a voracious appetite towards people and experiences.

The band's youthful image and music (two of the band members were still teenagers when the band formed) came as a contrast to the more serious bands such as <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oasis_%28band%29" title="Oasis (band)"><span style="color: windowtext; text-decoration: none;">Oasis</span></a>, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blur_%28band%29" title="Blur (band)"><span style="color: windowtext; text-decoration: none;">Blur</span></a> and <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suede_%28band%29" title="Suede (band)"><span style="color: windowtext; text-decoration: none;">Suede</span></a>.

They combined these influences with traits of the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pop-punk" title="Pop-punk"><span style="color: windowtext; text-decoration: none;">pop-punk</span></a> era, characterized by fast, three-chord, guitar-based, catchy tunes. On their own the band's jubilance and musicality have influenced many new artists as <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arctic_Monkeys" title="Arctic Monkeys"><span style="color: windowtext; text-decoration: none;">Arctic Monkeys</span></a>, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Coral" title="The Coral"><span style="color: windowtext; text-decoration: none;">The Coral</span></a>, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Fratellis" title="The Fratellis"><span style="color: windowtext; text-decoration: none;">The Fratellis</span></a>, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kaiser_Chiefs" title="Kaiser Chiefs"><span style="color: windowtext; text-decoration: none;">Kaiser Chiefs</span></a> and <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Vines" title="The Vines"><span style="color: windowtext; text-decoration: none;">The Vines</span></a>.

Their eponymous <i><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supergrass_%28album%29" title="Supergrass (album)"><span style="color: windowtext; text-decoration: none;">Supergrass or the X-Ray Album</span></a></i> (1999) was a new direction to darker lyrics, but again preserving the pop-sensibility. As the band have grown up as musicians their latest albums feature more musical sophistication than their first efforts. The band's fourth album <i><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Life_on_Other_Planets" title="Life on Other Planets"><span style="color: windowtext; text-decoration: none;">Life on Other Planets</span></a></i> (2002) was a retreat to the poppines of the early days, while still developing their sound. The band then released their first compilation of singles <i><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supergrass_is_10" title="Supergrass is 10"><span style="color: windowtext; text-decoration: none;">Supergrass is 10</span></a></i> (2004) commemorating their first decade as a band. Their fifth album <i><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Road_to_Rouen" title="Road to Rouen"><span style="color: windowtext; text-decoration: none;">Road to Rouen</span></a></i> (2005) featured more orchestral and darker material than before, with many pointing as a reason the death of Coombes' mother. The band are preparing their sixth album <i><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diamond_Hoo_Ha" title="Diamond Hoo Ha"><span style="color: windowtext; text-decoration: none;">Diamond Hoo Ha</span></a></i> for March 2008 release.<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 9pt; font-family: "Comic Sans MS";">Supergrass – Supergrass is 10 (Greatest Hits)<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 9pt; font-family: "Comic Sans MS";"><a href="http://www.4shared.com/file/37321102/b1f6f6a8/Supergrass_-_Supergrass_is_10.html">http://www.4shared.com/file/37321102/b1f6f6a8/Supergrass_-_Supergrass_is_10.html</a><o:p></o:p></span></p>brucehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06254904706943167053noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5868144579588071953.post-51363350821719292682008-02-09T22:24:00.001-08:002008-12-10T16:40:27.513-08:00Supergrass - Road to Rouen<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_VRIHR_HTy7k/R66ZDYlGX9I/AAAAAAAABfI/d2oGGQVym90/s1600-h/Supergrass+-+Road+to+Rouen.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_VRIHR_HTy7k/R66ZDYlGX9I/AAAAAAAABfI/d2oGGQVym90/s200/Supergrass+-+Road+to+Rouen.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5165234106057252818" border="0" /></a> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 9pt; font-family: "Comic Sans MS";">Supergrass - Road to Rouen<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p><b><i><span style="font-size: 9pt; font-family: "Comic Sans MS";">Road to Rouen</span></i></b><span style="font-size: 9pt; font-family: "Comic Sans MS";"> is the fifth studio <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Album" title="Album"><span style="color: windowtext; text-decoration: none;">album</span></a> by <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/England" title="England"><span style="color: windowtext; text-decoration: none;">English</span></a> <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rock_band" title="Rock band"><span style="color: windowtext; text-decoration: none;">rock band</span></a> <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supergrass" title="Supergrass"><span style="color: windowtext; text-decoration: none;">Supergrass</span></a>, released in the UK on <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/August_15" title="August 15"><span style="color: windowtext; text-decoration: none;">15 August</span></a> <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2005" title="2005"><span style="color: windowtext; text-decoration: none;">2005</span></a> (see <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2005_in_music" title="2005 in music"><span style="color: windowtext; text-decoration: none;">2005 in music</span></a>).

The record was highly acclaimed and well received by most fans of the band; it reached a respectable #9 on the UK charts. But some listeners were disappointed in the album, expecting the band's friskier style, rather than the darker lyrics</span></p> <h2><span class="mw-headline"><span style="font-size: 9pt; font-family: "Comic Sans MS";">Track listing</span></span><span style="font-size: 9pt;

font-family: "Comic Sans MS";"> was <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supergrass" title="Supergrass"><span style="color: windowtext; text-decoration: none;">Supergrass</span></a>' 1995 debut album. This album was released at the height of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Britpop" title="Britpop"><span style="color: windowtext; text-decoration: none;">Britpop</span></a> when numerous small bands were springing up, usually influenced by what were seen as the two biggest bands in the movement, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oasis_%28band%29" title="Oasis (band)"><span style="color: windowtext; text-decoration: none;">Oasis</span></a> and <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blur_%28band%29" title="Blur (band)"><span style="color: windowtext; text-decoration: none;">Blur</span></a>. Supergrass were one of the few bands who went on to have lasting success.<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 9pt; font-family: "Comic Sans MS";">The influences on Supergrass for this album were extremely diverse, ranging from the very cheerful, fast, keyboard augmented "<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=I%27d_Like_To_Know&action=edit" title="I'd Like To Know"><span style="color: windowtext; text-decoration: none;">I'd Like To Know</span></a>" to the guitar-driven <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Punk_rock" title="Punk rock"><span style="color: windowtext; text-decoration: none;">punk</span></a> narrative "<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caught_By_The_Fuzz" title="Caught By The Fuzz"><span style="color: windowtext; text-decoration: none;">Caught By The Fuzz</span></a>" to the mainly <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piano" title="Piano"><span style="color: windowtext; text-decoration: none;">piano</span></a> based rhythm of the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Teen" title="Teen"><span style="color: windowtext; text-decoration: none;">teen</span></a> <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anthem" title="Anthem"><span style="color: windowtext; text-decoration: none;">anthem</span></a> "<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alright_%28Supergrass_song%29" title="Alright (Supergrass song)"><span style="color: windowtext; text-decoration: none;">Alright</span></a>" and finally to the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steel-string_acoustic_guitar" title="Steel-string acoustic guitar"><span style="color: windowtext; text-decoration: none;">acoustic guitar</span></a> and <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Country_music" title="Country music"><span style="color: windowtext; text-decoration: none;">country music</span></a> influenced "<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Time_to_Go&action=edit" title="Time to Go"><span style="color: windowtext; text-decoration: none;">Time to Go</span></a>". Even in the extremely diverse genre of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Britpop" title="Britpop"><span style="color: windowtext; text-decoration: none;">Britpop</span></a>, the album was seen as very eclectic - usually as a compliment. Overall, the album could be described only as <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Britpop" title="Britpop"><span style="color: windowtext; text-decoration: none;">Britpop</span></a>, influenced in equal parts by <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buzzcocks" title="Buzzcocks"><span style="color: windowtext; text-decoration: none;">Buzzcocks</span></a> and <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Kinks" title="The Kinks"><span style="color: windowtext; text-decoration: none;">The Kinks</span></a>.<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 9pt; font-family: "Comic Sans MS";">Chart-wise, <i>I Should Coco</i> reached Number 1 on the British album chart.<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 9pt; font-family: "Comic Sans MS";">Singles<o:p></o:p></span></p> <ul type="disc"><li class="MsoNormal" style=""><span style="font-size: 9pt; font-family: "Comic Sans MS";">"Caught By The Fuzz" #43<o:p></o:p></span></li><li class="MsoNormal" style=""><span style="font-size: 9pt; font-family: "Comic Sans MS";">"Mansize Rooster" #20<o:p></o:p></span></li><li class="MsoNormal" style=""><span style="font-size: 9pt; font-family: "Comic Sans MS";">"Lose It" #75<o:p></o:p></span></li><li class="MsoNormal" style=""><span style="font-size: 9pt; font-family: "Comic Sans MS";">"Lenny" #10<o:p></o:p></span></li><li class="MsoNormal" style=""><span style="font-size: 9pt; font-family: "Comic Sans MS";">"Alright"/"Time" #2<o:p></o:p></span></li></ul> <p><span style="font-size: 9pt; font-family: "Comic Sans MS";">Culturally, the album's glorification of teenage freedom made a very big impact on the overall <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Britpop" title="Britpop"><span style="color: windowtext; text-decoration: none;">Britpop</span></a> music scene. The whole genre was seen as the voice of youth, but Supergrass dealt with the subject most elaborately, being still in their teens themselves when the album was made. The most well-known song from the album, "<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alright_%28Supergrass_song%29" title="Alright (Supergrass song)"><span style="color: windowtext; text-decoration: none;">Alright</span></a>", is still played regularly in <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UK" title="UK"><span style="color: windowtext; text-decoration: none;">Britain</span></a> and <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ireland" title="Ireland"><span style="color: windowtext; text-decoration: none;">Ireland</span></a>, and held up as an example of teenage rebellion in music.<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 9pt; font-family: "Comic Sans MS";">To date, it is the only Supergrass album that has made any impact in the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_of_America" title="United States of America"><span style="color: windowtext; text-decoration: none;">United States of America</span></a>.

font-family: "Comic Sans MS";">You have to imagine Syd Matters alone in his flat with the dawn fingering at his window. He hasn’t talked to anyone for a week and the hours and days are gradually slipping by him. One by one, childhood memories come back, sometimes they clash. He composes crystal-clear tunes on his guitar, the din of the world is far away and he listens to the music inside of him. And when day comes, the song is suddenly there. Syd experiences a strange sense of joy, feels incredibly present and at the same time as if he was floating. These are his “Ghost Days”, as he puts it. They provide the title of his third album – which also happens to be his most beautiful one to date. It’s not that Syd’s been idle up until now. The Parisian Jonathan Morali, alias Syd Matters, came from nowhere to make a big impression at the first Les Inrockuptibles QED awards – he was only 22 at the time – and his two spellbinding albums have since won over both critics and the general public. The first was “A Whisper And A Sigh” (2003), riding on the back of the space-folk hit “Black & White Eyes”. Then came “Someday We Will Foresee Obstacles” (2005) which was enhanced by large-scale, enthralling, Pink Floyd-style concerts – it’s worth mentioning that Jonathan had by this time surrounded himself with four musicians in his own vein, Olivier, Jean-Yves, Clément and Rémi, who bring a new dimension to Syd Matters. He was also much talked about this autumn with the release of the film “Heartbeat Detector”, for which he composed the soundtrack. He now says that this was a decisive experience for him, one that helped him grow.<strong><span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; color: rgb(0, 102, 153);"><o:p></o:p></span></strong></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style=""><strong><span style="font-size: 9pt; font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; color: rgb(0, 102, 153);"><a href="http://www.mediafire.com/?9mm972ijmz0"><span style="font-weight: normal;">http://www.mediafire.com/?9mm972ijmz0</span></a><span style=""> </span><o:p></o:p></span></strong></p>brucehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06254904706943167053noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5868144579588071953.post-48969884343649192782008-02-09T04:55:00.001-08:002008-12-10T16:40:28.747-08:00Cure, The - Kiss Me, Kiss Me, Kiss Me<p><span style="font-size: 9pt; font-family: "Comic Sans MS";">Cure, The - Kiss Me, Kiss Me, Kiss Me<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;"><span style="font-size: 9pt; font-family: "Comic Sans MS";">The Cure: Robert Smith (vocals, guitar, keyboards); Porl Thompson (guitar, saxophone, keyboards); Laurence Tolhurst (keyboards); Simon Gallup (bass guitar); Boris Williams (drums).<br /><br />Recording information: 1987.<br /><br />This hefty double album often sounds more like a compilation than a coherent whole, with musical ideas bouncing frantically back and forth. Nevertheless, in typical Cure style, KISS ME, KISS ME, KISS ME successfully combines catchy pop with bitter despair. Through 17 immensely sensual songs, Robert Smith is at his most poetic ("strange as angels, dancing in the deepest ocean, twisting in the water, you're just like a dream") and vitriolic ("get your fucking voice out of my head...I never wanted any of this, I wish you were dead"). The joyous pop of "Just Like Heaven" and "The Perfect Girl" still delights, and the frisson provided by "Shiver And Shake" reinforces the physical nature of this collection.<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;"><span style="font-size: 9pt;

Somehow Emily Barker has managed to cross over the borders of Folk and Americana in the way few artists outside of America have been able to do. Rising stars such as Antje Duvekot in the USA have taken the Celtic and English Folk origins and forged them with traditional singer-songwriting, but on Photos Fires Fables Emily Barker stamps out her own personality with her soaring and magical vocals and imaginative and plaintive songwriting. Hailing from Blackwood Valley in Western Australia, Emily Barker struck a chord with the revered late BBC broadcaster John Peel who supported her playing tracks on his show. Emily's band The Red Clay Halo, provide sympathetic acoustic support without ever threatening to overwhelm her warm and sensitive voice. Dividing her time promoting Photos Fires Fables in both the UK and her native Australia, Emily Barker's impact has been sudden but not unexpected by those who saw her opening set at the 2006 Cambridge Folk Festival, performing material from Photos Fires Fables accompanied by the strings and accordion of The Red Clay Halo.<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 9pt; font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; color: darkred;">Emily Barker - Photos, Fires, Fables</span><span style="font-size: 9pt; font-family: "Comic Sans MS";"> (2007) <o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><a href="http://rapidshare.com/files/90335797/Emily_Barker_-_Photos._Fires._Fables.rar">http://rapidshare.com/files/90335797/Emily_Barker_-_Photos._Fires._Fables.rar</a></p>brucehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06254904706943167053noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5868144579588071953.post-64908474057182290922008-02-08T21:07:00.000-08:002008-12-10T16:40:30.406-08:00Weddings Parties Anything - Scorn Of The Women<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_VRIHR_HTy7k/R601Y4lGXyI/AAAAAAAABd0/iArT1hISxds/s1600-h/Wpa-scorn.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_VRIHR_HTy7k/R601Y4lGXyI/AAAAAAAABd0/iArT1hISxds/s200/Wpa-scorn.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5164843049284951842" border="0" /></a><br /> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;"><b><span style="font-size: 9pt; font-family: "Comic Sans MS";">another from cob<o:p></o:p></span></b></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><b><i><span style="font-size: 9pt; font-family: "Comic Sans MS";">Scorn Of The Women</span></i></b><span style="font-size: 9pt; font-family: "Comic Sans MS";"><o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="font-size: 9pt; font-family: "Comic Sans MS";"><span style=""> </span>Weddings Parties Anything</span></b><span style="font-size: 9pt; font-family: "Comic Sans MS";">, often known as WPA and Weddoes, were an <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Australia" title="Australia">Australian</a> <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Folk_rock" title="Folk rock">folk rock</a> band formed in <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1984_in_music" title="1984 in music">1984</a> in Melbourne and continuing until <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1998_in_music" title="1998 in music">1998</a>.

Janine Hall left the band following the release of the album, and was replaced by Peter Lawler. It was that line-up that produced 1988's <i><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roaring_Days" title="Roaring Days">Roaring Days</a></i>. 1988 also saw WPA winning its first <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ARIA_music_awards" title="ARIA music awards">ARIA award</a> for 'Best New Talent', which was followed by another ARIA in 1989 for 'Best Indigenous Release' (<i><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roaring_Days" title="Roaring Days">Roaring Days</a></i>)<sup> </sup>. Dave Steel left the band following a tour of North America, citing exhaustion as the chief reason. He also noted in several interviews, at the time of his departure (1988), that he was feeling frustrated not getting a lot of his material on the WPA albums. He released his debut solo album, through WEA in 1989. He was replaced by Richard Burgman for 1989's <i><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Big_Don%27t_Argue" title="The Big Don't Argue">The Big Don't Argue</a></i>, and accompanying tours.

The band resurfaced, on CD in 1992, with <i><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Difficult_Loves" title="Difficult Loves">Difficult Loves</a></i> and yet another guitarist, Paul Thomas, replacing the departing Richard Burgman. The single "Fathers Day" reaching No. 42 on the ARIA charts, was nominated for 'Single of the Year' and won 'Song of the Year' at the 1993 <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ARIA_music_awards" title="ARIA music awards">ARIA awards</a>). This line-up (Michael Thomas, Paul Thomas, Mark Wallace, Marcus Schintler, and Peter Lawler) remained in tack for another two years, producing one more CD, <i><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/King_Tide" title="King Tide">King Tide</a></i> in 1993. Following the world tour to promote that release, Marcus Schintler left the band for family reasons, with Peter Lawler leaving a year later to pursue a solo career.<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 9pt; font-family: "Comic Sans MS";">Thomas reformed the band, and by 1996, the new line-up of WPA were ready for their first release, the independently produced <i><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Donkey_Serenade" title="Donkey Serenade">Donkey Serenade</a></i>. The band now included Jen Anderson (violins, mandolin)(formerly of the band, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Black_Sorrows" title="The Black Sorrows">The Black Sorrows</a>), Michael Barclay (drums), Stephen O'Prey (bass), as well as Michael Thomas, Paul Thomas and Mark Wallace. The music style shifted somewhat from folk to a more alternative country sound. The band decided at this time to concentrate on the Australian market, and did less touring outside of their native Australia.<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 9pt; font-family: "Comic Sans MS";">WPA finished 1997 with a new release, <i><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Riveresque&action=edit" title="Riveresque">Riveresque</a></i> on a new label (<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mushroom_Records" title="Mushroom Records">Mushroom</a>/<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sony_Records" title="Sony Records">Sony</a>), and by 1998, the band decided to take a break and work on several solo projects, including Michael Thomas's musical Wide Open Road.<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 9pt; font-family: "Comic Sans MS";">WPA initially gained a reputation as a hot new band through their constant touring in their early days; however they never really became a commercial success. They did however, form a fanatical supporter base, known as the "Wedheads" that continued to sustain the band for years. Upon the conclusion of the band several members continued on to other projects, with <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mick_Thomas" title="Mick Thomas">Mick Thomas</a> creating <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Croxton_Records" title="Croxton Records">Croxton Records</a> with friend <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nick_Corr" title="Nick Corr">Nick Corr</a>.<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 9pt; font-family: "Comic Sans MS";">Renowned for their energetic live shows, WPA had a handful of live songs that were nearly always guaranteed to push the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mosh_pit" title="Mosh pit">mosh pit</a> into a frenzy, particularly "A Tale They Won't Believe", the story of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alexander_Pearce" title="Alexander Pearce">Alexander Pearce</a>, a <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cannibalism" title="Cannibalism">cannibal</a> in the convict days of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tasmania" title="Tasmania">Tasmania</a>. Also known for the especially legendary Christmas shows which grew from one night on Christmas Eve to a full week of live shows at the Central Club Hotel in <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richmond%2C_Victoria" title="Richmond, Victoria">Richmond</a>. The 1998 show was recorded and released as a double live album, <i>They Were Better Live</i>, which was nominated for an <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ARIA_music_awards" title="ARIA music awards">ARIA award</a> in 1999 for 'Best Blues & Roots Album').<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 9pt; font-family: "Comic Sans MS";">Musically, WPA were a combination of Australian indie and garage rock, sixties folk, punk and (later) country.

His late-1960s and early-'70s albums combine pastoral, very British romanticism with a jazzy folk lilt that owes a debt to Tim Buckley and Tim Hardin. His hypnotic whisper of a voice and his virtuosic fingerpicking were the perfect emissaries for Drake's songs of quiet longing and displacement. Though he was virtually unknown during his too-short life, he would posthumously inspire a subsequent generation of artists.<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 9pt; font-family: "Comic Sans MS";">Nick Drake - Tanworth-in-Arden (1967-68)<b><o:p></o:p></b></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="font-size: 9pt;"><a href="http://www.4shared.com/file/37289766/a0140a6e/Nick_Drake-Tanworth-in-Arden__1967-68_.html">http://www.4shared.com/file/37289766/a0140a6e/Nick_Drake-Tanworth-in-Arden__1967-68_.html</a><o:p></o:p></span></b></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 9pt; font-family: "Comic Sans MS";">Nick Drake - Tanworth-in-Arden II<b><o:p></o:p></b></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="font-size: 9pt;"><a href="http://www.4shared.com/file/37290567/94ff88ac/Nick_Drake-Tanworth-in-Arden_II.html">http://www.4shared.com/file/37290567/94ff88ac/Nick_Drake-Tanworth-in-Arden_II.html</a><o:p></o:p></span></b></p>brucehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06254904706943167053noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5868144579588071953.post-76412779865938590822008-02-08T20:45:00.000-08:002008-12-10T16:40:31.249-08:00Smithereens – Especially for You<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_VRIHR_HTy7k/R60wKIlGXuI/AAAAAAAABdU/qEoft2bE_Oo/s1600-h/smithereens%2Bespecially.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_VRIHR_HTy7k/R60wKIlGXuI/AAAAAAAABdU/qEoft2bE_Oo/s200/smithereens%2Bespecially.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5164837298323742434" border="0" /></a> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 9pt; font-family: "Comic Sans MS";">a link from peter at c-60 Low Noise, cheers mate one of my favourite records<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 9pt; font-family: "Comic Sans MS";">Smithereens – Especially for You<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 9pt; font-family: "Comic Sans MS";">Remastered version with a couple of bonus tracks…… can never have enough of the Smithereens.<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 9pt; font-family: "Comic Sans MS";">The Smithereens: Pat DiNizio (guitar, vocals); Jim Babjak (guitar); Mike Mesaros (bass, vocals); Dennis Diken (drums, percussion, vocals).<br /><br />Additional personnel: Frank Christian (acoustic guitar); John Rokosny (electric guitar); Kenny Margolis (accordion); Joe Kernich (piano); Jerome Jerome (organ, piano); Don Dixon (piano, percussion, background vocals); Jeffrey Berman (vibraphone); Mark Johnson, Suzanne Vega (background vocals).<br /><br />Recorded at The Record Plant, New York. Includes liner notes by Dennis Diken.<br /><br />New Jersey's Smithereens popped up at the tail end of the New Wave era, but arrived just in time for the ascension of alternative rock. In fact<br />they were neither; essentially Pat DiNizio and company were power-poppers with strong 1960s roots (Beatles, Beach Boys, et al).<br /><br />Ultimately, they brought the style further into the mainstream than any of their contemporaries, with their initial full-length salvo ESPECIALLY FOR YOU making a big splash via the hits "Blood and Roses" and "Behind the Wall of Sleep." The Smithereens' sound was also brawnier and more working-class than most of their contemporaries (they later confessed to being influenced by Black Sabbath's guitar sound), and this may have had a great deal to do with their success. It also didn't hurt that singer/songwriter/guitarist DiNizio had a seemingly limitless knack for churning out infectious pop gems that sounded like they'd been around forever. Delivered in DiNizio's strong, deep voice, the songs on ESPECIALLY FOR YOU suggest nothing so much as an '80s Badfinger fronted by a less pretentious Jim Morrison.<o:p></o:p></span></p> <table class="MsoNormalTable" style="width: 100%;" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"> <tbody><tr style=""> <td style="padding: 0cm;"> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;"><span style="font-size: 9pt;

His primary instrument was the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guitar" title="Guitar"><span style="color: windowtext; text-decoration: none;">guitar</span></a>, though he was also proficient at <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piano" title="Piano"><span style="color: windowtext; text-decoration: none;">piano</span></a>, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clarinet" title="Clarinet"><span style="color: windowtext; text-decoration: none;">clarinet</span></a>, and <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saxophone" title="Saxophone"><span style="color: windowtext; text-decoration: none;">saxophone</span></a>. Although he failed to find a wide audience during his lifetime, Drake's work has grown steadily in stature, to the extent that he now ranks among the most influential English singer-songwriters of the last 50 years.<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 9pt; font-family: "Comic Sans MS";">Drake signed to <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Island_Records" title="Island Records"><span style="color: windowtext; text-decoration: none;">Island Records</span></a> when he was twenty years old, and released his debut album <i><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Five_Leaves_Left" title="Five Leaves Left"><span style="color: windowtext; text-decoration: none;">Five Leaves Left</span></a></i> in 1969. By 1972 he had recorded a further two albums, although none sold more than five thousand copies in their initial releases, while his reluctance to perform live or be interviewed further contributed to his lack of commercial success. Drake battled with <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clinical_depression" title="Clinical depression"><span style="color: windowtext; text-decoration: none;">depression</span></a> and <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Insomnia" title="Insomnia"><span style="color: windowtext; text-decoration: none;">insomnia</span></a> throughout his life, and the topics were often reflected in his lyrics. Upon completion of his third album, 1972's <i><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pink_Moon" title="Pink Moon"><span style="color: windowtext; text-decoration: none;">Pink Moon</span></a></i>, he withdrew from both live performance and recording, retreating to his parents' home in rural Warwickshire. On <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/November_25" title="November 25"><span style="color: windowtext; text-decoration: none;">25 November</span></a> <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1974" title="1974"><span style="color: windowtext; text-decoration: none;">1974</span></a>, Drake died from an overdose of the prescribed antidepressant, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amitriptyline" title="Amitriptyline"><span style="color: windowtext; text-decoration: none;">Amitriptyline</span></a>.<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 9pt; font-family: "Comic Sans MS";">There was residual interest in Drake's music through the mid-1970s, but it was not until the 1979 release of the retrospective album <i><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fruit_Tree_%28Nick_Drake_album%29" title="Fruit Tree (Nick Drake album)"><span style="color: windowtext; text-decoration: none;">Fruit Tree</span></a></i> that his back catalogue came to be reassessed. By the mid-1980s, Drake was being credited as an influence by such artists as <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Smith_%28musician%29" title="Robert Smith (musician)"><span style="color: windowtext; text-decoration: none;">Robert Smith</span></a> and <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_Buck" title="Peter Buck"><span style="color: windowtext; text-decoration: none;">Peter Buck</span></a>. In 1985, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Dream_Academy" title="The Dream Academy"><span style="color: windowtext; text-decoration: none;">The Dream Academy</span></a> reached the UK and US charts with "<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Life_in_a_Northern_Town" title="Life in a Northern Town"><span style="color: windowtext; text-decoration: none;">Life in a Northern Town</span></a>", a song written for and dedicated to Drake.<sup><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nick_Drake#_note-1" title=""><span style="color: windowtext; text-decoration: none;">[4]</span></a></sup> By the early 1990s, he had come to represent a certain type of 'doomed romantic' musician in the UK music press, and was frequently cited by artists including <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kate_Bush" title="Kate Bush"><span style="color: windowtext; text-decoration: none;">Kate Bush</span></a>, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_Weller_%28singer%29" title="Paul Weller (singer)"><span style="color: windowtext; text-decoration: none;">Paul Weller</span></a>, and <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Black_Crowes" title="The Black Crowes"><span style="color: windowtext; text-decoration: none;">The Black Crowes</span></a>. Drake's first biography was written in 1997, and was followed in 1998 by the documentary film <i>A Stranger Amongst Us</i>.

The sessions took place in Sound Techniques studio, London, with Drake skipping lectures to travel by train to the capital. Inspired by <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Simon_%28record_producer%29" title="John Simon (record producer)">John Simon</a>'s production of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leonard_Cohen" title="Leonard Cohen">Leonard Cohen</a>'s first album, Boyd was keen that Drake's voice would be recorded in a similar close and intimate style, "with no shiny pop <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reverberation" title="Reverberation">reverb</a>".<span style=""> </span>He also sought to include a string arrangement similar to Simon's, "without overwhelming...or sounding cheesy".<span style=""> </span>To provide backing, Boyd enlisted various contacts from the London <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Folk_rock" title="Folk rock">folk rock</a> scene, including Fairport Convention guitarist <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_Thompson_%28musician%29" title="Richard Thompson (musician)">Richard Thompson</a>, and <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pentangle_%28band%29" title="Pentangle (band)">Pentangle</a> bassist <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Danny_Thompson" title="Danny Thompson">Danny Thompson</a>.<span style=""> </span>He recruited <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Wood_%28music_producer%29" title="John Wood (music producer)">John Wood</a> as engineer, and drafted Richard Hewson in to provide the string arrangements.<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 9pt; font-family: "Comic Sans MS";">Initial recordings did not go well; the sessions were irregular and rushed, taking place during studio downtime borrowed from Fairport Convention's production of their <i><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unhalfbricking" title="Unhalfbricking">Unhalfbricking</a></i> album. Tension arose between artist and producer as to the direction the album should take—Boyd was an advocate of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Martin" title="George Martin">George Martin</a>'s "using the studio as an instrument" approach, while Drake preferred a more organic sound. Dann has observed that Drake appears "tight and anxious" on bootleg recordings taken from the sessions, and notes a number of Boyd's unsuccessful attempts at instrumentation.<span style=""> </span>Both were unhappy with Hewson's contribution, which they felt was too mainstream in sound for Drake's songs.<span style=""> </span>Drake suggested using his college friend Robert Kirby as a replacement, although Boyd was skeptical at taking on an amateur music student lacking prior recording experience. However, he was impressed by Drake's uncharacteristic assertiveness, and agreed to a trial. Kirby had previously presented Drake with some arrangements for his songs,<span style=""> </span>and went on to provide a spare <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chamber_music" title="Chamber music">chamber music</a> quartet score associated with the sound of the final album. However, Kirby did not feel confident enough to score the album's centerpiece "River Man", and Boyd was forced to stretch the Witchseason budget to hire the veteran composer <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harry_Robinson" title="Harry Robinson">Harry Robinson</a>, with the instruction that he echo the tone of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frederick_Delius" title="Frederick Delius">Delius</a> and <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maurice_Ravel" title="Maurice Ravel">Ravel</a>.<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 9pt; font-family: "Comic Sans MS";">P<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Post-production" title="Post-production">ost-production</a> difficulties led to the release being delayed by several months, and the album was poorly marketed and supported when it finally arrived.<span style=""> </span>Reviews in the music press were few and lukewarm. In July, <i><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Melody_Maker" title="Melody Maker">Melody Maker</a></i> referred to the album as "poetic" and "interesting"; <i><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NME" title="NME">NME</a></i> wrote in October that there was "not nearly enough variety to make it entertaining" It received little radio support outside of BBC's <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Peel" title="John Peel">John Peel</a>, who would occasionally play tracks. Drake was unhappy with the inlay sleeve, which printed songs in the wrong running order and reproduced verses omitted from the recorded versions.<span style=""> </span>His disappointment in the final result is reflected in an interview comment made by his sister <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gabrielle_Drake" title="Gabrielle Drake">Gabrielle</a>: "He was very secretive. I knew he was making an album but I didn't know what stage of completion it was at until he walked into my room and said, 'There you are.'

Two months later, he opened for Fairport Convention at the Royal Festival Hall in London, followed by appearances at folk clubs in Birmingham and Hull. Remembering the performance in Hull, folk singer <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Chapman_%28British_guitarist%2C_born_1941%29" title="Michael Chapman (British guitarist, born 1941)"><span style="color: windowtext; text-decoration: none;">Michael Chapman</span></a> commented: "The folkies did not take to him; [they] wanted songs with choruses. They completely missed the point. He didn't say a word the entire evening. It was actually quite painful to watch. I don't know what the audience expected, I mean, they must have known they weren't going to get sea–shanties and sing-alongs at a Nick Drake gig!"<sup> </sup><span style=""> </span>The experience reinforced Drake's decision to retreat from live appearances; the few concerts he did play around this time were usually brief, awkward, and poorly attended. Drake seemed unwilling to "perform", and rarely addressed his audience. As many of his songs were played in different tunings, he frequently paused to retune between numbers.<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 9pt; font-family: "Comic Sans MS";">Although the publicity generated by <i>Five Leaves Left</i> was minor, Boyd was keen to build on what momentum there was. 1970's <i><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bryter_Layter" title="Bryter Layter"><span style="color: windowtext; text-decoration: none;">Bryter Layter</span></a></i>, again produced by Boyd and engineered by Wood, introduced a more upbeat,<sup> </sup><span style=""> </span>jazzier sound. Disappointed by his debut's poor commercial performance, Drake sought to move away from his <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pastoral" title="Pastoral"><span style="color: windowtext; text-decoration: none;">pastoral</span></a> sound, and agreed to his producer's suggestions to include bass and drum tracks on the recordings. "It was more of a pop sound, I suppose", Boyd later said, "I imagined it as more commercial." Like its predecessor, the album featured musicians from Fairport Convention, as well as contributions from <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Cale" title="John Cale"><span style="color: windowtext; text-decoration: none;">John Cale</span></a> on two songs: "Northern Sky" and "Fly". Trevor Dann has noted that while sections of "Northern Sky" sound more characteristic of Cale, the song was the closest Drake came to a release with chart potential. In his 1999 biography, Cale admits to taking <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heroin" title="Heroin"><span style="color: windowtext; text-decoration: none;">heroin</span></a> during this period,<sup> </sup><span style=""> </span>and his older friend Brian Wells began to suspect that Drake was also using. Both Boyd and Wood were confident that the album would be a commercial success,<span style=""> </span>but it went on to sell fewer than three thousand copies. Reviews were again mixed: while <i><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Record_Mirror" title="Record Mirror"><span style="color: windowtext; text-decoration: none;">Record Mirror</span></a></i> praised Drake as a "beautiful guitarist—clean and with perfect timing, [and] accompanied by soft, beautiful arrangements", <i><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Melody_Maker" title="Melody Maker"><span style="color: windowtext; text-decoration: none;">Melody Maker</span></a></i> described the album as "an awkward mix of folk and cocktail jazz".<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 9pt; font-family: "Comic Sans MS";">Soon after the release, Boyd sold Witchseason to Island Records, and moved to Los Angeles to work with <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warner_Brothers" title="Warner Brothers"><span style="color: windowtext; text-decoration: none;">Warner Brothers</span></a> in the development of soundtracks for film. The loss of this key mentor figure, coupled with the album's poor sales, led Drake to further retreat into depression. His attitude to London had changed: he was unhappy living alone, and visibly nervous and uncomfortable performing at a series of concerts in early 1970. In June, Drake gave one of his final live appearances at <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ewell" title="Ewell"><span style="color: windowtext; text-decoration: none;">Ewell</span></a> Technical College, London. <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ralph_McTell" title="Ralph McTell"><span style="color: windowtext; text-decoration: none;">Ralph McTell</span></a>, who also performed that night remembered that "Nick was monosyllabic. At that particular gig he was very shy. He did the first set and something awful must have happened. He was doing his song, "Fruit Tree", and walked off halfway through it. Just left the stage." His frustration turned to depression, and in 1971 Drake was persuaded by family to visit a <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psychiatrist" title="Psychiatrist"><span style="color: windowtext; text-decoration: none;">psychiatrist</span></a> at St Thomas's Hospital, London. He was prescribed a course of antidepressants, but he felt uncomfortable and embarrassed about taking them, and tried to hide the fact from his friends. He knew enough about drugs to worry about their side effects, and was concerned about how they would react with his regular cannabis intake.<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 9pt; font-family: "Comic Sans MS";">Nick Drake - Bryter Layter (1970)<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p><a href="http://www.4shared.com/file/37224740/c39b0da5/Nick_Drake_-_Bryter_Layter__1970_.html">h<span style="font-size:85%;">ttp://www.4shared.com/file/37224740/c39b0da5/Nick_Drake_-_Bryter_Layter__1970_.html</span></a></p>brucehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06254904706943167053noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5868144579588071953.post-42291654430872710202008-02-08T20:04:00.001-08:002008-12-10T16:40:32.660-08:00Nick Drake – Pink Moon<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_VRIHR_HTy7k/R60mkNQrxKI/AAAAAAAABck/KmueleNiVOA/s1600-h/200px-NickDrakePinkMoon.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_VRIHR_HTy7k/R60mkNQrxKI/AAAAAAAABck/KmueleNiVOA/s200/200px-NickDrakePinkMoon.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5164826751140611234" border="0" /></a> <p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="font-size: 9pt; font-family: "Comic Sans MS";">Nick Drake – Pink Moon<o:p></o:p></span></b></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;"><span style="font-size: 9pt; font-family: "Comic Sans MS";">Personnel: Nick Drake (vocals, guitar, piano).<br /><br />It's widely reported that by the time Nick Drake got around to recording his third and final album, PINK MOON, his already-precarious mental/emotional state had drastically deteriorated. In a deep depression, Drake recorded a brace of solo acoustic tunes, dropped the tape off unannounced at the label's office one day, and that was the last the world at large ever heard of Drake's music.<br /><br />The results of those solo sessions were as harrowing and stark as anything by Robert Johnson or Charley Patton. Enclosed in an inner world of psychological distress, Drake recorded PINK MOON's dispatches from a private hell that was simultaneously terrifying and beautiful. Both the lyrics and the melodic motifs are pared to the bone here, their simplicity making them all the more immediately striking. The most nakedly emotional and disturbing moment is probably "Parasite," a visceral-but-mysterious account of a disconsolate soul roaming through the world in search of succor, with Drake taking the starring role, ultimately offering, "take a look, you may see me in the dirt." This was the end of the road for Nick Drake in more ways than one, but just the beginning for the scores of songwriters subsequently inspired by his bleak-but-beautiful visions.<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;"><span style="font-size: 9pt;

In November, the band's management announced they had finished recording all the songs that would appear on the album. Mixing and mastering of the tracks commenced January 2006. In mid December 2005, it was discovered that one of the songs from the album had been leaked. Although the song was as-of-yet untitled and unfinished, it contained guide vocals and instruments. The band's manager asked</span><span style=""> for the song to be taken down from the blog it was found on, and drummer Hamish Rosser also issued a statement on the band's fan club forum asking fans not to post or distribute the song on the internet.<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p><span style="">"<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Don%27t_Listen_to_the_Radio" title="Don't Listen to the Radio"><span style="text-decoration: none; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">Don't Listen to the Radio</span></a>" was released as the album's first single and was made available for digital download on March 7th on <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ITunes" title="ITunes"><span style="text-decoration: none; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">iTunes</span></a>.

While singer/guitarist Craig Nicholls has clearly outgrown some of the hooliganism that made him notorious in the group's early days, he still exudes plenty of energy with his signature raspy voice and razor-sharp six-string lines, as best evidenced on the fierce, melodic first single "Don't Listen to the Radio." Though a few tracks on VISION VALLEY take a punkier approach (see the propulsive "Gross Out"), those tunes are tempered by dreamier moments such as "Spaceship," revealing that while Nicholls's songwriting is tighter and more varied than before, it's just as thrilling.<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;"><span style=""><o:p> </o:p></span></p> <table

</span><o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="">Silverchair: Daniel Johns (vocals, guitar, piano, harpsichord); Chris Joannou (bass); Ben Gillies (drums).<br /><br />Additional personnel: Michele Rose (pedal steel); Paul Mac (piano); Rob Woolf (Hammond organ); Jim Moginie (keyboards).<br /><br />Recorded at Studios 301 and Mangrove Studios, Australia; Larabee North Studios, U.S.A.<br /><br /><br />Casting aside the shackles that accompany any band whose first flush of success comes when its members are still teens, Silverchair makes a fresh start on a new label with their fourth album DIORAMA. Teaming up with producer David Bottrill, this Aussie trio abandon their earlier grunge-fueled sound for a more complex and lush approach more Van Dyke Parks (who contributes orchestral arrangements) than Van Halen. Seemingly more settled in his skin, frontman Daniel Johns operates with a rich tone in his voice that cuts to the heart of the soaring "World Upon Your Shoulders" and equally enchanting "The Greatest View" (featuring Midnight Oil's Jim Moginie. Also noteworthy is "Tuna In The Brine," a cut overflowing with intriguing string arrangements. The DIORAMA created by these talented Aussies turns out to be one of delightful nuance.<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="">Silverchair - Diorama (2002)</span></b><span style=""><o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><a href="http://rapidshare.com/files/89859011/Silverchair-_Diorama.rar">http://rapidshare.com/files/89859011/Silverchair-_Diorama.rar</a></p>brucehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06254904706943167053noreply@blogger.com0
