While its tempting to suggest that AE is lazy, face saving, disinterested etc.. in regard to the Sisters, on reflection I think he has found other, more rewarding things to do with his daily life than worry about a new CD, wrangle with record corporations or debate the landscape of the music indust...

Walk Away Video - The Who - The Kids Are Alright

Ever wondered where the concept for the Walk Away video came from ? Check out the Who's The Kids are Alright DVD, in particular the final performance of "Won't Get Fooled Again" filmed at Shepperton in 1978. Blue Sweeping lasers, dry ice swirling blue laser tunnel, Roger Daltery appearing ...

I managed to track my RS-800 down here in the US. Below is a pic how Wayne's guitar would have looked like before he broke out the can of spray paint.

The POD is great for direct recording but the problem lies when you try to amplify the sod in a live setting, you have to be careful or the sound becomes coloured and muddy. It's weird, I've heard the POD sound amazing through a pair of 2 quid walkman headphones and utter crap through a 3000 quid am...

A stripper performing to "Under The Gun" at a Go-Go bar in San Francisco,

If you want polyphonic Sisters ringtones on your poly-capable Nokia simply upload an existing Sisters midi via wap or email to your phone. Most Nokia's have 4 channel poly, so you'll need to load the midi into a midi editor and select the 4 channels you want, drum, bass, guitar etc. Save the new fil...

Re: Echoes of some kind of stranger

Recently listened to Floyd's 'Echoes' off the 1971 Meddle album for the first time. The vocal melody don't half sound like Some Kind of Stranger -- try singing along with it. and I thought it was just Comfortably Numb. And Echoes precedes Loyd Webber's Phantom of The Opera score, can anyone say nic...

I don't really hold with these new-fangled format thingies. Don't really see the point, surround in the cinema has never really appealed either.
