... And we are back! With another music journals weekly update! This week, we're, well, to be honest, we're not doing a lot. Apart from my and Unknown Soldier's journals, little if anything else has been updated. So here's what we got:
New journal owner
Mankycaant has added to
http://www.musicbanter.com/members-j...er-abroad.html with something of a disseration on why people like certain music, or why they feel they have to, ie this band is said to be so good I had better like them. The point is illustrated with the examples of Pink Floyd's “Dark side of the moon” and, er, “Burn piano island burn” by The Blood Brothers. You'd be amazed.
Pedestrian is making a lightning visit taking time off from her studies to grace us with her artistic talents in
http://www.musicbanter.com/members-j...sswalking.html, where you just
have to check out “Autotune the Unicorn”. Seriously.
Which rather quickly brings us around to me. Now, these next few weeks as we lead on up to the festive season, I've decided to try and cram in as many 2012 album reviews as I can, so over at
http://www.musicbanter.com/members-j...d-journal.html you'll find reviews of new albums by Deacon Blue, Tygers of Pan-Tang, Steve Harris, Imagine Dragons, Hostsonaten and Jadis, with still time to throw in another round of “What's in a name”, while in
http://www.musicbanter.com/members-j...i-reviews.html we're looking at the latest from Susanna Hoffs and Freedom Call. Lots more new albums coming up next week, and in the coming weeks too. So much to do...
That takes us, inevitably, back to the seventies where
Unknown Soldier's
http://www.musicbanter.com/members-j...y-history.html is still retracing the history of hard rock and heavy metal, and this week he's looking at albums from Flower Travellin' Band --- you remember he did one a few weeks back? This is another one --- and Uriah Heep. So something for everyone.
That's it, then, for this week. Little thin on the ground, perhaps, but hopefully the quality makes up for the lack of quantity. We'll all hope some of the others get their, er, act together soon --- come on people! We can't be carrying this section on our own! Little help?
Toodles!
