Spending a bit of late red wine time cheering up the spiders in my living room by playing Joy Division's 'Unknown Pleasures' album for the umpteenth time. Utter bliss.

Great album loz. Have you seen the film Control that came out a couple of years ago about Ian Curtis? If you haven't I'd recommend you take a look, good film.

Myself I'm listening to a live version of Midnight Rambler from 'A Brussels Affair" a Stones bootleg from '73. Mick Taylor is bloody amazing.

Seen it, own it, argued its merirts with Maksimov!

I'm posting this for Val ... and anyone else who likes classical music.

Yeah, I've got a copy of it as well. Not sure I agree with Maksimov about it not being any good because Curtis was a bit cold, I always thought that was because they were going for a more realistic potrayal.

None the less, great film and great band, some of their melodies are almost unparalleled, at least since then anyway.

Beautiful, just beautiful...

This is one of my favourites:

Not to mention this one:

Superb, Val. Thank you. In return I give you Jussi Björling, arguably the best tenor of all times, singing the duet from Bizet's Pearl Fishers, with Robert Merrill

..and also this, from the film of Farinelli. The castrato voice was achieved by blending mezzo-soprano Cecilia Bartoli's with counter-tenor Derek Lee Ragin's voice. It's a brilliant film, which I thoroughly recommend to you if you haven't seen it, Val

I've gone back to converting my vinyl to iTunes again so I'm listening to all kinds at the moment. Most recently I started converting the three Arcade 20 Fantastic Hits albums from the early 70's, some great tracks on them that I didn't have on iTunes...

The Piglets - Johnny Reggae

Johnny Johnson & His Bandwagon - (Blame It) On The Pony Express

The Bee Gees - My World

Lou Christie - I'm Gonna Make You Mine

Mardi Gras - Too Busy Thinking About My Baby

Frederick Knight - I've Been Lonely For So Long

Harley Quinne - New Orleans

Jimmy Helms - Gonna Make You An Offer You Can't Refuse

Unfortunately I'm having to be very careful, otherwise I might accidentally convert some of the utter crap as well...

The Osmonds - One Bad Apple

Donny Osmond - Puppy Love

Donny Osmond - Too Young

Vicky Leandros - Come What May

Bay City Rollers - Keep On Dancing

Sammy Davis Jr. - The Candy Man

Neil Sedaka - That's When The Music Takes Me

Little Jimmy Osmond - Long Haired Lover From Liverpool

Cockerel Chorus - Nice One Cyril

[shudder]

Here's one of the better ones

In honour of Phil Lynott's birthday yesterday, I've been listening to a hell of a lot of Thin Lizzy. RIP The Rocker.

It was recently reported in at least Mojo that Jimmy Helms had passed on, however they had jumped the gun and Jimmy is still with us.

Nobody can test Pac!
