I gave the film a cheeky download and I'm glad I didnt pay the Â£12.99 or whatever HMV were seeling it for.

Beatles aside, I have to agree with olan's comment from what seems like ages ago. All that aside, no one answered my question about these "Total" versions. I can't find any press release on them. Erm, which comment was that then? The first one or the anoraky one? My first question about t...

Mogwai: George Square Thatcher Death Party (Session Version) B-side of the San Pedro 7" and much superior to the take on the album in many ways.
Wooden Shjips: Sol 7"
Moon Duo: Scars/Flowers 7"
Moon Duo: Catch as Catch Can/Set It On Fire 7"

(One play per side before you ask Mark!)

the thing about Joy Division is that they are trying to milk dry a band that had a very limited lifespan anyway.there can't be anything in the vault. Still mopped up all the outtakes. on the recent reissues there were live shows that were audience recordings (and not great ones at that!). the only ...

Bugger! Still, both teams appeared to want to play football, which is more than I can say about one of two sides in the Premier League last season. Congratulations to Swansea. I have good have memories of the team that Toshack took to the old first Division playing 4-2-4 IIRC!

The projections onto the Customs House are stunning. I suspect that anybody who comes out of Circular Quay train station unprepared (or chemically atered) might be in for a shock. At one point the facade of the building appears to dissolve (yet the building does not move) which is stunning, but migh...

I know that 100-150 plays before changing cartridges may be obsessive, and it is no small investment; but I think it is worth it. It is this criterion that I have used for over 30 years that has helped in keeping so many recordings "new". I use (3) turntables, so in actual time between ch...

Met up with Cheapster before/after the gig. Watched the the projections, drank wine. The Customs House is a total trip (excuse the 60's description). The whole Vivid thing is great fun.

Same set as last night. Much better sound, lighting was stunning.

So, the second show starts in an hour. I thought I would try and describe the goings on down here. Vivid is a great title for the festival. The sails of the Opera House roof, as well as many of the surrounding buildings are being used as a canvas for some stunning projections. From across the harbou...

Good gig. Album plus out of sight. Quietest Spz gig I've ever been to!

I spent a summer in the USA in 1987 (I think) working in Boston. Anyway this was just at the end of my New Order/Joy Division/Echo and the Bunnymen phase.

I actually quite like this but, then again, I haven't heard anything else from them so got nothing to compare it to. So, if I was to delve into their back catalogue....where should I go?

You're not being sarcastic are you?

FWIW, I've not listened to them for years, but the chance to hear Faith played live is too much to turn down. Takes me back to my angst (and acne) ridden teens. IIRC that album came out in May 1981.....30 years ago, Jesus!
