Wolfgang Voigt- Gas Some of you might be familiar with the electronic work by Gas. This is the same thing, except just some unreleased material not found on their other CDs. I have not heard his other releases under his own name, only the stuff released under Gas. It's hard to review this album, but to sum it up it's just an excellent dark ambient album that really draws you into the music. The downside is it isn't very long, under an hour and every time it comes to a close I'm wanting to hear more.

Rules: 1. The video must be music related, meaning it can be a live performance, a music video, an interview with an artist, etc. 2. You must describe the contents of the video, you can't just post a youtube link with no accompanying description. Just something as simple as "<artist> plays <song> live" will suffice, but feel free to describe more if you would like. So those are the rules.

Though its a band I don't listen to that much, maybe because I lost all of their CDs over the years, but TMBG has consistently been one of my all time favorite bands since I was 13 years old. Back then I only had ears for bands like Metallica, GNR, Slayer, and Pantera, but somehow TMBG squirmed their way in there. They spoke to my dorky metal heart in a way no band really has since, except maybe Phish. Anyone else a fan? I never see any TMBG in the WAYLT thread so I thought I'd ask.

To ensure people are in the know here as well this is the latest and greatest from CanJam 09 speakers. We hope to have a few more but this was the one that I know we needed to have based on the work he and Joe have done with the Blue Note series. Now I just have to make sure I can get a seat. Well hats off to Voltron for setting this up for CanJam 2009. Steve Hoffman and Joe Harley (Music Matters) have graciously agreed to speak at Can Jam Saturday 5/30/2009. The talk is going to center around their recent ground breaking work with the Music Matters Blue Note reissue series. For those that have not seen Steve talk, the hour or so is filled with amazing music and anecd…

I thought this article from PC World was interesting. I copied and pasted the article below: Vinyl Revival? Records Move on CDs in 2008 - PC World Vinyl Revival? Records Move on CDs in 2008 Lucas Mearian, Computerworld Jan 3, 2009 10:44 am Recommends Audiophiles have long argued that vinyl records offer better sound quality compared to CDs or MP3s, but their stoic loyalty in the face of change was seen as little more than nostalgia over the 25 years digital recordings have dominated the music industry. In recent years, however, sales of LPs -- that's short for long-playing records -- have more than doubled onl…

Was just looking at the Late Night TV listings on interbridge.com and would have never caught this otherwise. Had no idea Tricky had a new album coming out next week. Could be cool I guess. For the unitiated, this is the Tricky that was with Massive Attack on Blue Lines and Protection.

Following a discussion in another thread I was wondering if some of you were using the WEB to buy used CDs. One nice example from where I live: Musique du faubourg - Accueil I'm often too busy (read lazy) to go and spend time looking for CDs on location.... Amicalement PS Even GPH could find me a nice Michel Louvain's CD in there...

Anyone else doing this? Or at least applauding?

...on Twitter and a bunch of live blogs.

Anyone know what Super High Material is? Does it mean compressed to audio death, or is it actually a good thing? Houses of the Holy Oh, and you can keep your "early Pink Floyd" and "Flaming Lips" and the like jokes to yourselves. Bwa-ha, very funny, so funny I forgot to laugh. Yeah, why don't you marry yourself. Ew, that's disgusting.

Drummer for Jimi Hendrix found dead - Yahoo! News The greatest named drummer ever is gone. Pretty underrated imo too.

Does anybody know about these? I see new LP's of old Blue Note albums at the record store for 10-12 bucks. Some are 180/200 Gram Vinyl, and some come with cds. I'd love to know how these are, and if they use the newer SH/KG masterings, or RVG's, or what.

We know both political parties have support among artists, but do these Hank Williams Jr. lyrics even make sense (logically or structurally)? Does Hank consider McCain a "good-looking dish"? Did "ol' Hank" (assuming this is Jr., though he may be digging up dad) fix anything I should be aware of?

There are little tangents, like Headphone Journey. "Incredible tones and textures for spacing out, as well as recordings that reward particularly close listening." Seems to have a good variety of material.
