Well, the juke thread just reminded me that i wanted to ask for more recommendations on this lady. Was never too keen on the more trad jazz stuff she did (for which she seems to be best known, at least amongst my Baby-Don't-Care- For-Me-rerelease generation?). The more stretched out...

Anyone been there/live there? Any tips on unmissable things etc?

Ok, I have a musical theory question for you all, to do with this brilliant Gainsbourg miniature (good entry for the miniature symphony thread, actually): Here's the tab: http://www.gtabs.org/tabpreview/waYYwaZIw3oaw60bwKtJw60cwnwalq9FvqZMxalExn1@/Ah%20%20Melody/track1#tabPreview My...

Just making a general thread for questions about DAWs like Ableton, Logic etc. My question: after using Reason for a while (great interface, shit sound), I've got Ableton :) and now have the luxury of using plug-ins at last. Don't want to collect hundreds and hundreds, so wondering if anyone...

For those who didn't catch this on Charlie Brooker's Screenwipe, unmissable. Afterwards, youtube the show...lots more to stare at in disbelief.

http://www.guardian.co.uk/music/2009/sep/01/krs-one-gospel-hip-hop I so wish I didn't find everything he says risible. BDP are legendary...why does he have to come across as such a bullshit-peddling buffoon? Mind you, I've often had this problem with major hip-hop stars....as lyricists, they...

Inspired by a post I just wrote....music that is far from being musak, but which is all gentle atmosphere. My starters: Bark Psychosis - Hex Flying Saucer Attack Stars of the Lid Popol Vuh - Aguirre s/t Tenhi - Maaet is another great record in this vein.

Anyone have any good or bad experiences/thoughts to share? I've just filled in the 'application form' and i already feel emotionally broken! :slanted:

:D

What's the best "What's the best poll thread in Music" poll thread in Music? Don't pretend you don't know.

Surprised no-one has done this before. Looking for new-skool babes of the same quality as the various wonderful women who have clogged up the old-skool thread. So, not pornographic fantasies, but rather luminosity.... My starters for ten: Molly Parker of Kissed and Six Feet Under Kellie...

Just thought I'd flag up that the place that replaced the old Salmon & Compass in Islington is apparently looking for someone to take over Friday nights there (a work colleague's brother runs it, so I understand)... contact should be on the website: www.thecompassn1.co.uk

Songs/tracks that seem to be bursting with optimism and joy at the sheer beauty of life and stuff. I'm listening to the Avalanches' 'Since I left You', and will soon be listening to the kwaito remix of Brenda Fassie's 'Monate'. Both are gorgeously grin-inducing.

Inspired by jenks' mentioning of 'Factory' by Martha Wainwright on another thread (sublime song).... I lhave loved so many Americana/alt-country artists in the past, but have totally lost touch with what has been going on over the past five years or so... Some of my favourites: Slaid Cleaves...

I've looked and I don't think there is a separate thread for this. I've been hearing so much classic US house recently, mainly i think from the New Jersey (?) Masters at Work/Quentin Harris/Todd Terry type axis. Obviously funky house has reignited interest in a lot of this stuff, and I've...

For a Creative Zen MP3 player, I'm looking for some really good speakers..any ideas? Thanks in advance. :)

I've become increasingly interested of late in the concept of addiction, construed widely,where addiction is (roughly speaking) repeatedly acting in a way that only fulfils one's first-order desires rather than second- or third-order, and so results in repeatedly doing things that one doesn't...

Maybe this should go in AL&F, but I am meaning books both fictional and non-fictional. Indeed, primarily the latter. I am almost through Erich Fromm's 'The Art of Loving', and it is extraordinary in its disentanglement of a whole raft of presuppositions and 'feelings' that many of us have about...

Ok, openly mock me for my complete lack of technical nous in any form (in the words of Christian Slater in 'Heathers' - free with the Observer today, bargain fans! - "That's the stupidest question I've ever heard), but...: I'm buying a new desktop, and Dell is helpfully screwing with my head...

http://www.hometracked.com/ I found this site recently - well worth a read for anyone who is struggling to get their home mixing and/or home recording up to scratch. All very easy to follow, and with great advice on all sorts of issues. So I thought I'd set up this thread if anyone has any...
