I feel weirdly happy at the moment. Lately I have been pretty stressed out about coursework and E.P etc, but I am content. And I have a belly full of ice cream and brownies. HOORAY FOR FRANKIE AND BENNYS! went out for a meal for Gemmas and it was actually pretty nice! Saw some people from Barton that I havent seen since Gemma's LAST birthday, and it was nice catching up with my old bumchums Jack and...

One of the common threads these days among the blogs I read is that many of us are just about up to here with winter and are counting the days/hours/minutes until it's over. As the progression of gray, dismal days extends, our spirits tumble lower and lower and lower. And then this happens: If you haven't already figured it out, these are NOT the answer. Trust me. I tried Girl Scout Cookie Winter-Blues...

Late Lament by Graeme Edge Breathe deep the gathering gloom, Watch lights fade from every room. Bedsitter people look back and lament, Another day’s useless energy spent. Impassioned lovers wrestle as one, Lonely man cries for love and has none. New mother picks up and suckles her son, Senior citizens wish they were young. Cold hearted orb that rules the night, Removes the colours from [...]...

The Moody Blues are still around. You can still catch their concerts and pick up a new CD here and there. They sold 50 million records and had several best selling LP's and singles, including "Nights in White satin" and "Question". My favorite is still "Go now", another song that I had not heard in quite some time: "We've already said ‘Goodbye’. Since...

The record producer Tony Clarke was one of the architects of symphonic “prog rock” through his work with the Moody Blues. His production on the group’s album, Days of Future Passed (1967), and its hit single, Nights in White Satin, blended the sounds of an electric rock band with a symphony orchestra and came to be seen as a hugely influential landmark. He went on to work with the...

In 1978, a band I was working with was recording an album at A & R Studios in New York City. In the studio was the keyboard called a Mellotron. We never did use it on the album, but I liked to hit the key that made a dog bark because it sounded just like [...]

Doctor in Distress is a pop music single related to the BBC television programme Doctor Who.

Here is an article about them from Time magazine. True Finns from Finland. Here is an article...

Of course, there's double standards. A middle market artist does an album of covers, and it's a lazy stop gap. If someone with a shred of credibility turns in an record full of other people's songs, we applaud and gurgle with delight. This delighted gurgle is at the news that Nada Surf are about to release If I Had A Hi-Fi. They work through stuff by The Moody Blues, Depeche Mode and Arthur Russell....
