What song are you listening to?

[Bridie]

Here's the official site Boxer

http://jonlord.org/

and speech about his life and music when he received his honorary degree in music from Leicester University

[Boxer6]

Thanks for those, Bridie. I hadn't seen the degree speech before either - most interesting.

[Bridie]

Your welcome Boxer

He looked to be a very charismatic and gracious man - many complimentary stories gathering on music Forums about him.

Two songs which I hadn't heard in years until the weekend:

Alison Moyet - Invisible

The always incredible Roy Orbison - Wild Hearts Run Out Of Time

http://youtu.be/w8dtv8Ncb0E

I can't believe it is almost twenty four years since he died.

Chapeau, chapeau, Mr Wiggins:


First set of side burns to win the Tour since about 1977

(Assuming he doesn't fall off.)

[Lucky Poet]

And the big English sideburns did win le Tour. Wow!

In a spirit of mild depression brought on by the IDS thread, I'm listening to Laughing Lenny Cohen singing Everybody Knows:


"Everybody knows that the dice are loaded
Everybody rolls with their fingers crossed
Everybody knows the war is over
Everybody knows the good guys lost
Everybody knows the fight was fixed
The poor stay poor, the rich get rich
That's how it goes
Everybody knows..."

Well, shit.

Som Sabadell flashmob

On the 130th anniversary of the founding of Banco Sabadell we wanted to pay homage to our city by means of the campaign "Som Sabadell" (We are Sabadell) . This is the flashmob that we arranged as a final culmination with the participation of 100 people from the Vallès Symphony Orchestra, the Lieder, Amics de l'Òpera and Coral Belles Arts choirs.

Annie Haslam! Oh to be 21 again. Still have the 45. This takes me right back to '78.

gig I will not be going to. I saw Joe Bonammassa at my favourite club, the boderline, a few years ago just as he was making it big. I saw an advert for him to play there again next year, great I thought, I'll get my ticket now. Then I saw the price ..... fifteen ****ing hundred ****ing quid! Joe you are brilliant, but ...

Haud me back!

In the meantime, here's Jane's Addiction, being themselves. Of Course:


(I really wish I could play the fiddle like that.)

I like to listen to Dream Theater, Santana, Beethoven on Sundays. You get the idea...

The neighbours don't. Out with the electric hedge trimmer. You can't drown out chattering white noise with delicate tunes.

You can with Motorhead and Judas Priest.
