Re: What are you listening to right now?

Another ABBA fan here. :-) I think one of the things that attracted Elvis to ABBA was how quite often "serious" lyrics dealing with the break-up of relationships was married with upbeat, enjoyable tunes. Knowing Me, Knowing You is a perfect example. Elvis himself is no stranger to similar ...

Re: Elvis plays Englewood, NJ, Nov. 4 '13

Bronxapostle was kind enough to send me a few mp3's from the show and I just can't praise enough their quality.
Excellent, crisp, warm sound and the feeling of actually being there and hearing it live.
Wonderful job. Thanks again, ba!!

Ba, doc, any chance any of these shows will be made available in mp3 format? (I'm torrent-illiterate)

Re: Elvis plays New Haven, Nov. 8 '13

Oh my, this tour is amazing.
I would die to hear Suffering Face and Home is Anywhere ... and I'll Wear It Proudly.

112 songs so far, if I'm counting right.
Is there any other artist in the world who could do such a thing?? I seriously doubt it.
You guys are so lucky.

Re: What are you listening to right now?

I've been a fan since I first heard Motorcycle Emptiness more than 20 years ago and I'm always happy to hear new stuff from Manic Street Preachers. They've been through their ups and downs and I've liked all their sides - dark, tense, depressing albums like Holy Bible and lighter efforts like excell...

Re: New album for 2013: "Wise Up Ghost" (with The Roots!)

Wise Up Ghost dropped to #67 on Billboard 200.
6'000 copies sold last week.

How such great reviews have convinced so few people to buy this album is beyond me.
I know this in a way reflects general CD sales decline, but I find it quite sad nonetheless.

Hasn't the price gone down from 14.99$ to 11.88$ ?
Now that's a bargain for the deluxe edition.

Still haven't got the CD. :-(
However, my brother's going to Atlanta in a couple of days.
Anyone knows which record shop he should pop into to get me a deluxe edition of WUG ?
