Nor-Cal Villan Posted June 14 Share Posted June 14 Things I never expected to see: just saw 10CC featured in a really bad TV ad for FootJoy during the Open Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted June 15 Share Posted June 15 To paraphrase the Paramore news story I read Paramore, who are a great band in their own right and have a stage time of 6pm to 6.45pm, are rumoured to be having their set list picked by swift So the main question should be when did Paramore hire Micheal O'Leary to do their PR?

Nor-Cal Villan Posted June 15 Share Posted June 15 (edited) This one had been in the “to be read” stack for ages, finally got around to it. Was never a huge prog fan, though had my flirtation with Crimson, Yes, Genesis, et al. back in my teens. Moved on from it but still occasionally break out a few of the classics. That said, it all mostly sounds ungodly dated to me now. Despite no longer really being a fan I absolutely loved this book. It was heavily hyped and totally lives up to it. Weigel could have narrowed his focus a bit with respect to the bands he featured, but that’s picking nits. Very entertaining, quite funny, and he doesn’t punch down, even in places where it would have been justified.

My CD collection used to fit on the purpose-built shelves in the living room. But as the numbers increased, more and more had to be relegated (promoted?) to the man cave in the attic, where they resided in a bookcase. Eventually they overspilled that, and started getting stashed in a random collection of different sized cardboard boxes. In the course of this diaspora, the alphabetical filing system broke down, and anarchy reigned. This could not be allowed to continue, so I purchased ten large standard CD-sized storage boxes (as below), and began the big re-sorting project. All went well, and the records are now safely filed, and the boxes labelled. Except... The 'Q' section was nowhere to be found. Admittedly, this was (unsurprisingly) the smallest set - Queen (yeah, I know, but the first four were OK), Quicksilver Messenger Service, and Quiver. But they had gone. Disparu. I checked the living room shelves (the 'most played' collection) - not there. Lukewise the attic bookcase. And all the odd boxes. Not a trace. Now, barring the unlikely eventuality that burglars with a specific love of bands beginning with 'Q' had broken into the house and surreptitiously made off with them, I have no explanation. The wife has no opinion (positive or negative) on those albums. It's far too specific to be the work of the grandchildren. So I'm baffled. It's not the end of the world - apart from the rather obscure Quiver (without The Sutherland Brothers), it's all on Spotify. But it's still bugging me. I am becoming Inspector Clouseau. I found them! Stashed away behind a shelf of DVDs. And it wasn't just 'Q's - there were 50-60 odd others from the second half of the alphabet, that I'd completely overlooked. Now I need to buy more storage boxes... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisp65 Posted June 18 Share Posted June 18 Stats are in from chrisify for the first half of the year.

mjmooney Posted June 18 VT Supporter Share Posted June 18 Mine is USA 6 England 2 (I never could do percentages) They would probably all fall under the general heading of folk-rock. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seat68 Posted June 18 Share Posted June 18 Ot keeping track but outside of older british purchases I have bought exclusively american, all of them would be filed under country. The latest is Hummingbird by Carly Pearce and its looking like my end of year album of the year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
