Hello all. I was putzing about on Ebay and found a Sepia-Tone CD release of the first ISB album. It's labelled a "21st Century Remaster" or some such....
... I'm off to work up a compilation for a friend who's NEVER HEARD the ISB. I envy her virgin ears the sweet experience of first listening! ... Not an easy...
I'm not sure if I would have liked the ISB based on Pictures in a Mirror alone. Not because it's full-on or controversial, but rather that it sounds slightly...
Work up from Maybe Someday and October Song. Maybe don't go past 5,000 Spirits. If she doesn't like First Girl, Maybe Someday or Oct. Song, Empty Pocket she's...
Personally I find something to recommend in all of the various ISB phases, so I'm cutting a pretty broad swath across the entire catalogue. I know each fan has...
Believe it or not it's one of the most natural transitions on the whole thing---"Bat Chain Puller" builds to huge cacophony and fades in a long, slow burn--the...
I love Streeleye Span, but in many ways I like Fairport better. Steeleye can be a bit....un-subtle. And a bit slick. Sometimes it feels like just a tiny jump...
I't's because it's similar to saying that there is a natural flow between something as profoundly beautiful and emotional as Barber's Adagio and something as...
Well I certainly don't agree that Beefheart is comparable to children singing the "hokey pokey"--"Bat Chain Puller" is musically dense, has the playful...
... Yeah...that was my point too. The examples I used were not to compare any one particular thing to another, they were just meant to show the huge contrast. ...
... compare ... the ... Sorry...I thought you were taking a swipe at the good Captain and I just can't let that slide...especially with the poor health he's ...
... Not for many years it hasn't. Ken Nicol has been on guitar for a long time now. ... Which, if you carry that to it's ultimate logic, would mean that Bill ...
... listening! Hi Brad I like compilations too, so look forward to seeing yours. If I was introducing the ISB (or another act) to someone, I'd want to make...
Start with Way Back in the 1960s ... listening! Hi Brad I like compilations too, so look forward to seeing yours. If I was introducing the ISB (or another act)...
So, this afternoon the later compilation got into the Amazon Eng Folk list too. What strikes you here is how few alternatives there are, how much less there is...
Hello Are there are any good biographies on Phil Ochs? That is to say are there any good available biographies on Phil Ochs, because amazon brings up only two...
Well, I certainly wouldn't mind getting "The sailor and the dancer", "Down before Cathay" and "My father was a lighthouse keeper" on any ISB Island era ...
... Can't say if they're any good, but I find three: There but for Fortune: The Life of Phil Ochs, by Michael Schumacher (1996) Death of a Rebel: A Biography...
... I chose this track largely because it was the one that popped into my head as I was listening to the end of the previous song. It's not his most...
I saw this Dylan film yesterday, and would appreciate comments. Personally I loved it, but felt the Sara/marriage break up sections were the weakest. Unlike...
... Yes, I thought it fabulously entertaining. I watched it on DVD three times a while back with a range of people,and it went down well each time. The Cate...
There seems to be a gremlin depriving us of Iain T's posts - which in the case of 'Seed-at-zero' I for one would certainly like to get ! Anyone techy-savvy...
