One of the funniest unboxing videos ever – Mr. Super Deluxe on Neil Young’s Archives:
He’s still angry that nobody told him about the “secret” compartment in Vol. 1. 😉

I think he’s right. Most venues would be prepared to provide safety measures (distancing etc.), and as studies at big concerts in the summer (in German cities like Bremen and Leipzig) showed those measures work […]

Licenses for downloads are much higher (the record companies know quite well that anything with a download code gets copied and is spread all over the internet), and setting up a download link on the website is […]

Seems the Trump guy walked on stage for his latest “I’m anti-violence, me. Honestly” speeches to the music of “Saturday Night’s Alright For Fighting”.

That booklet in the “Young Person’s Guide” is indeed fascinating. Fripp continued it (including lots of entries from his diary) in the equally extensive booklets that accompanied the later Crimson career box […]

»…they’d have to use a much smaller font or use two lines,…« – that’s called design, of course, and that’s why I suspect no-one gave it much thought. You could get away with »Fairport« on a MOJO cover, but on […]

I hope that’s not the real cover – I mean, it’s not another Hepworth book, is it? And that byline: »Fairport, Folk Rock And Finding My Voice 1967-75«! Did an intern come up with this before his first coffee in the […]

They seem to have a lot of time to kill. To my surprise Miss Toyah contacted me on Facebook after I sent one of their lunchtime vids to Steve Nieve. In a perfect world they both should be touring.

Well it happened in Italy – a former prime minister was dragged to court for his mafia connections (and involvement in money-laundering and murder deals) as soon as his term ended, and actually spent a couple of y […]

The Tom Jones box has all his sixties Decca albums plus 2 discs of singles, B-sides and various rarities and EP or compilation tracks. As the title makes clear – no live albums, thank god. And the music is m […]

The “Café Exil” compilation is currently the source of hilarious laughter and jokes in Germany.
The writer of the liner notes clearly has no clue what was going on in Berlin (especially Kreuzberg and at the […] -

The Kraut! project is available (see above) as four 2-Disc sets. Each has a 100-plus page booklet with detailed liner notes – in German. But the credits, line-ups are understandable even if you don’t speak the l […]

It’s the result of being able to listen to my record collection while working – that’s 8 or 10 hours a day. The problems begin with those additional DVDs – I’ve still only watched the »Moving Waves Classic Albu […]

Great gesture from the BBC. Seems that Bowie is nearly forgotten as an artist – it’s been almost three weeks without a “new” overpriced reissue. 😉
