The World Of Music

Ok, this thread probably already exists, but I can't be bothered looking :dozey: (If a mod wants to merge it with another one, that's fine :) ) Based on a tweet I've just seen, what was the first single and first album you ever bought? My first single (7inch vinyl because I'm old!)

As I was reading through Alexa's thread about emotional attachment to music you don't listen to anymore, I was actually reminded of something different. My ex-best friend became my best friend through a specific artist, and due to a lot of things, we pretty much don't talk to each other anymore. We aren't friends of any sort. Because of that, it's hard for me to listen to them, and I haven't in a long time. Has this sort of thing ever happened to you? Have you ever had music-a song, an album, an artist-that reminded you of someone else, but had that relationship fall apart, causing you to not want to listen to it anymore?

She's the Best British Female and a diva to boot. But has she cleaned up her act? Oh no, no, no! Published: 18 February 2007 Her behaviour was nothing less than shocking at the Brit Awards. Everyone agreed, she let the side down pretty badly. Tchuh. You think you know people, think you can trust them to turn in a reliable performance - and they go and ruin it. Amy Winehouse just flatly refused to get drunk, swear, vomit, smoke a joint or storm out. Not once did she tell the writhing popinjay Russell Brand to eff off with his smart remarks about her incipient alcoholism. She sang "Rehab" with a sweet uncertainty, hitching up her red frock to mid-thigh level, but de…

[ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XnZuDiF1w8I]YouTube - ‪Pure Ecstasy - Voices‬‏[/ame] i love this song so much.

for a guy who knows like, absolutely 0 about contemporary music (just as in, he doesn't listen to it) and I'm freaking out so hard trying to figure out which like 12 artists I should pick, this is so hard all that I'm SURE is going on is Haiti by Arcade Fire and one Radiohead song but I haven't even decided which yet :freak: what artists do you all think are like, 100% necessary to go on as an introductory-type mixtape? I am trusting WOM-ers to pull through for me here because we all have almost the same taste except for Eddie who listens to rap.

Get-well wishes pouring in for E Street Band saxophonist Clarence Clemons [/url] June 15, 2011 | 2:06 pm The family of E Street Band saxophonist Clarence Clemons has set up an email address for anyone wishing to send messages to Clemons in the wake of the massive stroke he suffered over the weekend at his home in Florida. Additionally, Bruce Springsteen posted his first message to fans about Clemons’ condition, describing the stroke as “serious.” “While all initial signs are encouraging, Clarence will need much care and support to achieve his potential once again,” Springsteen wrote on his website, Twi…

[ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B6G4pT3eNJ0]YouTube - ‪Coldplay .:. Interview au Grand Journal .:. 10.09.08‬‏[/ame] I did not know that Coldplay had been hypnotized thanks to the person who put this link, I learn lot. How many other bands are ipnotized to write songs? :thinking: others bands ? not think that U2 and Radiohead were ipnotized

Paul McCarney - Chaos And Creation In The Backyard... ... is amazing :o Opinions?

Not sure if a thread was already started for them, but they're an awesome House duo from Australia. Give them a listen: [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3TLCkIGV2mw]YouTube - ‪Bag Raiders - 'Sunlight'‬‏[/ame] [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pSgcOuh9j7Y]YouTube - ‪Bag Raiders - Way Back Home‬‏[/ame]

Really surprised this guy doesn't have a thread. He's from Israel, and currently has one album (working on a second one currently, I believe), and also had a song featured on the Narnia: Prince Caspian soundtrack. He has some truly brilliant acoustic/indie folk songs that I think some of you might like :) Some of my personal favourites: [ame= ] [/ame] [ame= ] [/ame] [ame= ] [/ame] Brilliant stuff :)

If you were to buy one which would you chose and why?

For me it's Andrew Bird. WTF @ all his lyrics, they're all beautiful and poetic and evocative and stuff but I try to make sense of them when I listen and it's just impossible. None of them are understandable to me. it makes me sad sometimes. But he's still awesome omg~~

Another amazing talent from Manchester. God I love that place. Electronic/Rock sound you'll enjoy. Debut album comes out this month.. Meanwhile, lead single 'Doubt' is superb.

How are people still feeling about their end of year lists for 2010. Is Kanye still the most amazing thing you have ever heard? Does Team Dream still rate as one of the most beautiful things from last year? What albums have gotten better since then, what one have failed to hold onto whatever made them special six months ago? Are there any albums that you still haven't got around to listening to yet? Discuss.

Pete Doherty with his friend and fellow addict Pete Wolfe. Photograph: Andrew Kendall (http://www.andrewkendall.com) Film-maker Robin Whitehead. Photograph: Family Handout/PA In 2008, Jake Fior received a phone call from a woman he didn't know. "Her voice was a sort of husky velvet," says Fior. "She said her name was Robin Whitehead and she wanted to speak to me as she was making a film about Pete Doherty. I said, 'Oh dear, that's bad luck.' She laughed, and it started from there." Fior hadn't been joking. The musician and bookseller, now 47, had known the Libertines' singer since 2001. Fior had rewritten and produced Doherty's first top 10 hit, "For Lovers", b…
