I have just finished watching a late contender for the best music DVD of the year – Kraftwerk‘s Minimum-Maximum, a film of their 2004 tour. Absolutely stunning in DTS 5.1 with the sound turned up. It is also the music DVD least likely to contain any behind-the-scenes footage or interviews with the band! (If you […]

89 is barely scratching the surface!
November 21st, 2005 · 2 Comments · Music
Lisa has been writing about this article in the Guardian last week. The article starts with a statistic from Napster, that the average person owns 126 albums, of which 37 have been lost, leaving just 89. It goes on to speculate which 89 albums you should own if that is the case. I was faintly […]

Concert DVD goodness

I was browsing a bit on Amazon, and found out that December 5th sees a couple of must-have concerts on DVD. First of all there is the Kraftwerk Minimum Maximum double-disc of their 2004 tour. I think at least one track is from the Brixton Academy concert which I went to. That was something I […]

Full to the brim

Oh dear. My iRiver is finally full – there is only 3Mb of space left on the disk. If I want to get some more of my vinyl on there, or buy anything new, I will have to start deleting stuff, because my budget doesn’t stretch to getting a 40Gb model just yet. I already […]

I got a parcel from Amazon today with a load of goodies to keep me occupied. First of all there is a CD by Amadou and Mariam called Dimanche a Bamako. They are a couple of Malian singers, who have collaborated with Manu Chao for their new album. I first heard about it on Councillor […]

Late Night

I usually stay up late, but tonight I actually wanted to get an earlier night. So why am I still up at nearly 3 am? Well I went down to the Town Hall to see the council’s development control committee at work, then when I came home I was helping Jayne re-write her CV and […]

A couple of follow-ups to old entries: I have now put photographs of Tony Blair’s visit on the BYCC website along with a bit of commentary. The BBC have been back to the centre this week. The World at One team were interviewing people here about the visit for a programme to be broadcast next […]
Kraftwerk Live DVD
March 25th, 2005 · Comments Off on Kraftwerk Live DVD · Music
Kraftwerk, in typical fashion, have sort of announced a live DVD of last year’s concerts. All they have on their website is this page. They like to avoid all the typical publicity, so do not provide a release date or anything. I think they ‘announced’ that they were to re-release all their previous albums on […]
Metro Bar

Saturday night I went up to London for a night out. I don’t do that often: after commuting for 5 weekdays, the last thing I want to do is take another train up there! The trouble is that I do like going to concerts and the people I want to see just don’t come to […]

To celebrate the end of the week, I popped into the shops at Crawley on the way home and picked up some new CDs. I don’t know why it is, but if I buy a batch of CDs I never get ones that are similar. You would have thought that I might be in, for […]
