Last night was the Hot Wax instore at Vinilo Record Store in Southampton, and what a night. Not your usual instore where you get a few songs, they smashed through a nine song setlist, much to the appreciation of those in attendance. I first saw this three piece perform in a support slot at the…
I settled down last night to watch a film, I’ve been a bit vacant from TV for a while aside from a couple of series I’m following but knew there were a few new films to take a look at. To be honest after sitting on and through Cider Apple Vinegar for the afternoon, which…
A couple of days ago there was a post up on Twitter / X showing an old Aiwa stack system asking “are you this old”. I looked at it and thought “just” but was impressed that it was at least a separates stack system, as in each layer, the twin cassette, the CD player the…
The RSD25 list of releases is now online and its a twenty one pages long with a great range of release from some great artists, theres a few live albums in there as well which is good to see, hoping the quality of those is worth it. The thing not to forget is that all…
Dead Man’s Pistol, the Winchester based metal outfit storm their set at The Hobbit in Southampton. A deceptive venue that’s been in existence under its current guise since 1989. A pub upstairs, with stairs leading down to a smallish venue space then a tiered beer garden that would make any establishment envious, complete with outside…
It’s a great festival, they have got it right and i’m impressed every year by the organisation and lineup. I have heard horror stories and friends have had gripes but overall most experiences i’ve been party too are positive, and last year I could not fault it, apart from being so far from the main…
This morning on a record collectors Facebook group, a tiled image of a record collection appeared and it turned out to be a members record collection on Discogs. Here is the link I’ve been on Discogs for a few years, mainly to buy a few records I cannot find elsewhere, but recently started using it…
That should read my ‘soon to be’ copy. Imagine my joy when I went onto social media and an advert popped up saying ‘De La Soul to re-release rare 1994 EP featuring A Tribe Called Quest, ‘Clear Lake Auditorium’ will officially drop in March, over 30 years after it was first recorded. – DJ Mag on…
The BBC and many other news and music sites say, ‘Music is back’ as sales hit a 20-year high’. To put that into perspective, 20 years ago was obviously 2005, iTunes had been released in 2001 so the ‘world’ was making the shift to digital music. Cars still mostly had CD players, some still had…
I use Ai in my day to day, not for music although that may come in next year for instrumentals, video as well when it improves but mainly idea and image generation at the moment. The music side does interest me, just for personal creation to see whats achievable. The last attempt is viewable here…
