Anne Mathern, Highway Star
Slog (Free subscription) | 20/11/2009
I wish I had a video of Anne Mathern doing Deep Purple's Highway Star last night because it was sublime. But almost as sublime was her version, during Eric Fredericksen's karaoke lecture Speak and Sing at On the Boards, of Nirvana's In Bloom . Other humans who amazed: Ross Lambert channeling being Mick Jagger; Sean Nelson's Another Pleasant Valley Sunday , Amy O'Neal and Sara Edwards transforming...

Deep Purple Last Tuesday
Word Magazine blogs (Free subscription) | 18/11/2009
"I've seen Purple about 40 times and that was the worst I've ever seem them!". Not my views, but those of a disgruntled punter in the bar after Purple's gig at Manchester Apollo last week. As you know, I'm no expert on Purple,still a little bit of a perfect stranger to some of their albums, but I felt his comments were perhaps a little cruel, as were those of another review I read on the...

Intermezzo: Warren Sits-In With Deep Purple
Hidden Track (Free subscription) | 18/11/2009
Warren Haynes has never hid his appreciation of the music of Deep Purple, so he must’ve been as happy as a kid in a candy store last night when he sat-in with the English rockers at the Heineken Music Hall in Amsterdam. According to a report from our friends at Here Comes The Flood, Haynes added his unique brand of sizzling guitar to the Black Night encore . Haynes had formed a friendship with...

Coda # 1: Some thoughts on Music and the Law
Fora (Free subscription) | 18/11/2009
At the moment I am spending some time on a new blogging project. This one will be done under the aegis of my employer, and therefore won't necessarily be a distraction from work (the main reason I had to give up doing this one on a regular basis). I have drafted a few pieces which for various reasons I decided I didn't want to post on the new blog, so they are finding a home here. The first concerns...

Day Sixteen and a Little Bonus
Kathleen's Red Door Welcome (Free subscription) | 18/11/2009
This is day sixteen of my healthy living process and I am only going to say that it's been a good day. Rather than digress about what all I've eaten today, I hope you will enjoy this post about an art form that I am so happy to share with you. Have you ever heard of a knit-wit? I don't mean the mindless sort of nit-wit either. In Martha Stewart's December issue of Martha Stewart Living there was an...

Worst Picture Ever of a Council Member?
Maryland Politics Watch (Free subscription) | 18/11/2009
So a picture is worth a thousand words, right? Wait until you see this! Last week, the Examiner excoriated the Montgomery County Executive and the County Council for not taking transit to work. What the article omitted is that most of them live nowhere near a Metro station. Can anyone identify the Metro stations in Burtonsville (where Ike Leggett lives), Potomac (Roger Berliner), Colesville (Nancy...

Is Spotify killing music collections?
enotions (Free subscription) | 17/11/2009
When I was at school, nearly 20 years ago (jeepers!) I was insanely proud of my collection of 200+ tapes and vinyls. All dreadful stuff. Boston. ELO. Trex. Aerosmith. Deep Purple. You get the idea. After school, the collection swelled to 1,000 as I discovered Ben’s Collector Records (officially the world’s greatest music shop) in [...]

Yesterday had a gingerbread latte. Then went to the Euston Flyer, Rocket, Bree Louise with Subway sandwiched (boom boom) between..footlong. Spoons at Baker Street where we offloaded a few Camra coupons. The Oxford Street lights were ok; the shop displays probably bettered them. Sunday Chinese buffet in Croydon where i particularly enjoyed the tofu soup and orange jelly. My Beijing Olympics top went...

Calmer times
The Weekly Muse (Free subscription) | 16/11/2009
This last week has been better as there has been nothing extraordinary going on in the house, just a brief respite though. Chris went see Deep Purple on Saturday, he was supposed to go to a get together at Riverside Studios after and had booked a room for the night. That was cancelled though due to ‘technical problems’ which were not explained. He enjoyed the concert though, even if he...
