Bowie Miles
by Tosh 23 Dec '02

23 Dec '02

"One of Bowie's best projects was Tin Machine. Both albums are great and neither one can be mistaken for the other..." Wow! That's even too hardcore even for a Bowie fanatic like me! "and what about Miles Davis?" For me, 2002 was a great year for me to be introduced to Miles' music. I have bought at least 10 of his albums this year - and I love them all dearly! Especially the recording of "The Man I love" with Monk on piano. -- Tosh Berman TamTam Books http://www.tamtambooks.com

Patrice asked: >Also, a question for the Beatles fans. A few years ago I bought the CD pressing >of SERGEANT PEPPERS and I was surprised by the short piece of music (after a >blank) at the end of A Day in the Life. I swear, this was not on my old LP >pressing. Does anybody know the story behind this? On the original (UK only? Not sure) pressing of Sergeant Pepper there is a locked groove at the end of side 2 consisting of the short piece of music you describe - this is what they've tried to replicate on the CD. I think there's a whole school of conspiracies over what it says when you play it backwards... Alastair -- Personalised email by http://another.com

Ziggy double cd
by Tosh 23 Dec '02

23 Dec '02

Patrice I don't personally think it is that necessary to get the double cd edition of Ziggy if you already have the original disk. The second cd is ok, but it is mostly marketing. On the other hand I do strongly recommend the DVD best of Bowie. Wonderful early performances on British TV during the early Ziggy years. And if I am not mistaken, The Beatles hidden track on vinyl was sort of an endless piece of music from 'A Day in the Life.' -- Tosh Berman TamTam Books http://www.tamtambooks.com

But as I'm unlikely to be anywhere near my stereo after tomorrow and before Jan 5th, I'll start it all up again then. This could be fun... Alastair -- Personalised email by http://another.com

Springsteen is still putting on two and a half to three hours shows a night, which ain't bad for a guy in his 50s. Dylan does 20 songs a night, and he plays about 100 shows a year. A lot of bands a third his age don't keep that pace. And let's not forget Ozzy Osbourne who in his 50s is enjoying the biggest year of his career, though it's arguable whether he's doing it with style and grace. He has, however, made mumbling a cornerstone of the national dialogue. Tom
