Yeah I love a good music documentary. I enjoyed Ray though. But not nearly as much as the real Ray Charles on the Piano Blues documentary with Clint Eastwood.

Music doesn't really get any better. Dare anyone to try not tapping your foot to this.

One of my all time greatest musical moments was when I was on holiday in France a good few years ago with my daughters and we had a discussion about who they'd like to see that they've never seen. Charlie, my eldest who was then about seventeen and with excellent taste in music, instantly replied "Ray Charles". That morning I went down to the shop to buy bread and picked up a paper. When we looked through I saw an advert for the Cognac Blues Festival starring Ray Charles while we on holiday. It was 200 miles from where we were staying but it just had to be. So we managed to get tickets and saw him give this wonderful open air performance in a one time Roman amphitheatre. Magic!

Just read this, very funny. Review of Lulu by Metallica and Lou Reed in Sputnik Music -

"Shite Light/Shite Heat".

I've quoted it before, and I'll quote it again. Charles Shaar Murray's review of a Yes concert:

"No!"

that was it

CSM's makey-uppy fake "interview" with a middle-aged Hendrix in Crosstown Traffic was captivating. He was "living" in Hawaii telling CSM that he couldnt wait to record with Outcast.

The Line Up for ATP I'll be you mirror this year:

Slayer performing Reign in Blood in it's entirety (Not a fan but I'm sure others on here will be interested in this)

Mogwai (Already seen them and they blew me away, fantastic announcement)

Guided By Voices (Shitting my pants with excitement about this)

Trying to convince a couple of mates about this ATP. Love GBV and Mogwai

Well if we're going classical you've got to include Handel. The Hallelujah Chorus is probably one of the most recognised and best known pieces of classical music and peformed in all sorts of places.

I love this Flashmob in a shopping centre.

oh we getting classical!?

Chopin is a probably my favourite composer of all time. Certainly my favourite to play. Muse and the Orange adverts might have bastardised this, but its still a beautiful piece of music

Usually I think Mozart is too mambypamby for my liking, but his requiem is real hair on the back of your neck stuff (although he didn't actually write a lot of it, probably why i like it so much). If you can find a church or cathedral recital of all of it, its fully worth it. This is best known part, but the rest of it is awesome.

I used to love this... partly because of it's simplicity, only 8 (?) changes that just repeats with differing arrnagements each time

now, I'm a bit bored with it.... partly because of it's simplicity, only 8 changes that just repeats with differing arrnagements each time

that's a nicer arrangement than what I'm use to though

I havent exhausted it to that point yet but I see what you mean yeah.

You have an impressively wide range of tastes, that you are actually knowledgeable on...

I go and post one Inmates video 6 months ago and ...... :P

Im not a classical buff at all to be honest, but I like what I like. Been listening to a lot recently.

Yeah we're going down that route. :) Tend to find myself listening to this sort of stuff in winter or when I'm cooking and reading.

Amazing stuff really when you actually really listen to it as opposed to it being used to sell you something.

Vivaldi is probably my favourite ever. Could the violins that does it for me!

    • sub yes I could see but I don't think they get 1hr 15, a headliner starting at 18:15 though is unlikely. Even the recent co-headlines that have had like 1hr 15 then a 1hr 30 after were on 8pm or just before, you are trailing behind more than 1.5 hours then. In that scenario some 3rd down bands are only starting at 18:15 and some haven't lol. I agree they won't not book them due to this but it won't be 6 headliners. It would be 5 headliners and you wouldn't want to see 5 headliners booked but Biffy were to not be thouhgt of as an option for one. Wolf Alice on the other hand could sub no bother and you'd think nothing of it. I'm not so sure Biffy would get headline though after the festival choice in Kendal this year.
    • Definitely. UKIP also used Merkel welcoming 1 million Afgans to Europe in 2015 during the brexit vote.   Politicians in other countries within the EU know the are going to lose voters to parties to the right of them over stuff like this and they've no control over it.
    • I think it will very much vary on who there is to book who they know will sell out a day.    They’ve co-headline and full headline stuff in future, there no reason at all they won’t do it again, even if it means cutting someone’s set by 15 mins or having a band less in a big bands day…   They’re not going to not book Foo fighters and instead get the equivalent of Florence and C&S just to not have a band do a big set…   …unless of course they think it will make them more money…
    • Maybe some right wing leaders like Meloni are just playing to their base, like Reform have been here talking about them ending up at Calais.
    • Citizenship via investment programs basically work by saying if you invest this much in our economy (say buy a property worth x) then we will either grant you citizenship or residency with a route to it. The EU has rules on how low countries can set the bar. Montenegro was one of the easier ones to get and they've had to tighten it up.
