Thanks, Buck. I also love "The Nightfly", and their albums from '00 and '03. If there's been a more fun lyric than "Cousin Dupree" in the past 20 years, I've not heard it.

Just saw a clip of The Americans(they tour w/o Jay) doing their hit version of The Ronettes Walking In The Rain.They played it as a tribute to Becker whom they said played bass on the recording.

Always been a huge fan of Larry's playing.....underappreciated by most...we know who he is but its surprising to me how many casual music listeners dont. Add Mike Campbell and Robben Ford and 100 other great players to that list that should be household names. We live in a "pop driven" society. Music fans know Larry Carlton (playing the Bull Run in December).....pop fans know Katy Perry. I think there was a point in time where the two met, with the popularity of The Beatles, Hendrix, Stones, Zappa, Pink Floyd, etc...but the music world today seems very polarized/ segregated. Add to the mix; very few people under the age of 30 buy music....they stream it, or buy a song on itunes. They will not be listening to it with their full attention; either in the car, at the gym, etc...not reading liner notes, who produced it, who played on it, where it was recorded, etc...it has become a lost art. |

The absence of complete liner notes and song and recording credits is perhaps the biggest loss in the digitization of music delivery. Why can't all relevant information about a song be embedded into the digital file and displayable as the song plays on any device or platform? No reason why it couldn't be done. |

The absence of complete liner notes and song and recording credits is perhaps the biggest loss in the digitization of music delivery. Well, for me, that's just a part of it. I miss all of it - the trip into town to buy the record - the staring at the cover and liner-notes all the way home on the bus, rushing up the stairs when I get home and dropping that stylus down on the vinyl for the first time, sitting down on the bed to re-read that cover for the 10th time as the floorboards begin to shake with the volume as my mum yells up from below to "turn that bloody racket down"... OK, I DON'T miss the slight hiss and the skips and jumps, and maybe I'm looking back at it all through rose-coloured headphones, but buying a new record used to be an event - you had to go to some trouble to actually buy it, and when you did, you had an actual thing you could hold in your hands - it meant something... digitisation undoubtedly has many pluses, but, for me, it's somewhat devalued the whole experience... Anyway, gotta go - I've got a barn to raise, cows to milk and butter to churn...  |
