No Voting necessary – Your Favourite “free” CD

13/12/2020 by craig42blue 95 Comments

Essential Freebies from Word, Uncut, Mojo and Q. I’m not sure if we have been here before? You may have or recall some great covermount CDs that stand out from the mire? For me, these were some excellent albums in their own right:-

# Heroes Can Be Any Size: An Introduction to Jackie Leven, a promo release came free with March 2012 edition of The Word Magazine. # Uncut 2007 01 – Comets Ghosts And Sunburned Hands # Q – DCCCDII # Word – January 2010 # Uncut 2000 12 – More Sounds Of The New Ẁest # Uncut 2008 10 – Interstellar Overdrive # Uncut Unconditionally Guaranteed vol 7 (The Coolest Sounds From The Hottest Bands Of 1998) Can AWs recall any other essential ‘free’ CDs? (Sounds like an oxymoron).

Quick poll – What kind of music listener are you?

22/01/2017 by minibreakfast 77 Comments

How would you characterise the majority of your music listening? Are you:

1. A box set/catalogue binger?

2. A butterfly?

3. A shuffler?

I’m definitely a butterfly, flitting between albums (artist to artist, genre to genre), but also have a tendency to binge from time to time. I NEVER shuffle. What about you?

Maps to the stars (and to AfterWorders)

03/03/2015 by salwarpe 149 Comments

On the old Afterword, one of the first posts I made was to ask where you all are, geographically. Well now I have found that we could do this cartographically – by putting little flags on a map. Afterworders across the world Follow the link and add your flag if you want, together with your username. There is also a separate layer for culturally-significant locations Other layers could be added as requested. The map is fairly open to editing – I think only the layers have to be added by myself – the flags and labelling can be edited by anyone (so watch out you don’t move other people about). You also have to be logged into Google to do this, so – if you want a flag, but don’t want to sign up – let me know and I can add you. Let me know what you think – it might all drop like a lead zeppelin, of course…
