If Music Could Talk

If anyone wants the other Pogues boxset ('Just Look Them Straight In The Eye') you can get it as a download for £7.49 MP3 / £12.49 higher-res. Or you can just pick off the interesting tracks, e.g. Afro Cuban Bebop http://www.junodownload.com/search/?q%5Bartist%5D%5B%5D=%22the+pogues%22 I still can't...

Got for £1 on ebay John. Almost brand new. You can have it when i'm done mate, if you want it. Actually I see the books is pretty widely available - and even better, a mate at work says he can lend me his copy! Thanks for the offer wm,(and congrats on finding it at a bargain price) but by all means...

Never mind the archive stuff - audio or video - that is NOT c...

RIP Bill, and thanks for all his work.

I listen to something different everyday. This year I have bought more music than ever before. Most played maybe The Fallen Leaves and of course Bowie. Sounds like me - too much variety to ID an overall trend, but I bloody love the Fallen Leaves and gave their compilation LP a few spins this year!

Central London is a giant building site, and has been for years. I'm all for cities moving on and developing, but the scale of what is going on in recent times just beggars belief. You don't get the sense that a project is ending at all - just more and more stuff gets closed down and then either dem...

Some people might find this of interest - a funding project to make a documentary about London's Denmark Street, which was once the home of music publishers offices, recording studios and later became the street full of instrument shops where every band bought their gear (and the Pistols lived/ rehe...
