Those idiots are welcome to that crap, 'white hot press special' or not. There's a point where this elitist, financially-motivated record-collecting bullshit gets outta hand and these guys have way passed the point of no return: one could argue that Tom Port is "out there operating without any...

Great idea.
There's enough material for a good TV programme.

another great article about vinyl. http://www.wired.com/2015/03/hot-stampers/?mbid=social_twitter Makes some interesting points about the ascription of value to different pressings. It seems to be asserting that it is possible to tell the difference between every single disc from a print run, while ...

revisited the shop and carried out my plan to borrow the inner and get a really good copy of it. In fact, i got several copies. So, if anyone, has had a Fire edition of PP that didn't have the inner and would like one... PM me.

but it matters little who owns or does not a Copyright if no one wants to hear it; I have a more cynical view. A copyright holder benefits from convincing audiences that they want to hear the works which generate income for the holder. Perhaps we are far more likely to be persuaded to hear somethin...

And hey ho - a quick youtube search and there it is.
1996.
My memory of it is much better than what you will find if you do that search. I guess it was all about the time and circumstances.

i remember hearing an acoustic version of Close My Eyes that really moved me. I think it was Bell solo. The nuances of his voice really came out. It was lovely.

One of the strands of me thinking about what will remain relevant in years to come concerns copyright. It keeps getting extended. Maybe if that was reversed/altered the landscape would be different.

This thread reminds me of an internal discussion i have been having concerning the processes whereby the legacy of The Beatles will be reassessed and marginalised in favour of other artists from that time/slightly later years.
It seems inconceivable now but it could happen.

clicking round during my Elevators/roky session last night turned up a significant rumour regarding an important announcement about a reformation at Austin Psych Fest 2015 - due in a week or so.

Just been watching the You're Gonna Miss Me film for the first time.
My favourite bit is someone talking about seeing Roky and The Aliens in 1975. Not difficult to track down recordings from that era. This one was put up on YouTube a coupe of days ago.

Thanks for the clarification there Semi, Yes, as crazy as it sounds… The entire city of Birmingham was considered, by an expert on Fox, a no-go zone for non muslims. He said: “And in Britain, it's not just no-go zones, there are actual cities like Birmingham that are totally Muslim where non-Muslims...

Sorry for banging on about this but as a Birmingham resident this aspect of the last few days is one that has engaged me.

plastic37

I have seen and read reports over the years that these "no go zones" are quite real and far more easily demonstrated in France. As I understand it, these "zones" are much newer in the UK, and far smaller and less numerous. Yeah, Fox News and American media in general are really ...

Apparently the expert has apologised and offered to donate to Birmingham charity.

Hello, Saw this thread on here a few days ago but had nothing to add. Tonight there's a video from Fox news all over my facebook feed.

I like the "one track pass" approach to communal listening.
Each person plays a single track in turn. It really focuses the attention when you are trying to turn other people on to your passions/entertain.
It works well with non music YouTube clips too.

Indeed, we might never get to the truth of what happened in those two minutes on August. But the point of a trial would have been to get us closer.
