My son's new truck

A week or so ago my son came in with the message 'I think I'll have a new truck'.
Had a phonecall today 'we've agreed'. Just some minor things like microwave and radio and climate control and so on to discuss ('costs only 3000 euro extra'...).
If I understood correctly this will be the one, but one never knows with children...

Rutles' Beatles parody

If you are unfamiliar with the Rutles I strongly suggest to check Wikipedia_Rutles about this 'UK group' which was a Beatles parody. Read who were 'behind' that group. A 'must' to know if you like the Beatles !
Sorry, but I have to say the Rolling Stones are much better !

Quote from Wikipedia.
The Rutles began life in 1975 as a sketch on Eric Idle's BBC television series Rutland Weekend Television. The initial sketch presented musician Neil Innes (ex-Bonzo Dog Doo Dah Band) fronting The Rutles singing "I Must Be In Love", a masterly pastiche of a 1964-era Lennon-McCartney tune. The band name was coined as a continuation of the premise of the TV show on which the skit originated.

The show was presented as a programme produced by a fictional TV network based in the County of Rutland which is the smallest county in England. One of the running jokes was that it was a network run on a very tight shoestring. If the show parodied a topic, it would sometimes use names that were derivative of the word "Rutland". When Idle and Innes created a parody of the Beatles, it was natural word-play for them to devise a band name that sounded like a cross between the Beatles and Rutland. Innes credits Idle with suggesting "Rutles".

Innes was the resident musician/composer for the series, and would create songs with ideas on how they could be presented visually.

It was Innes who came up with the idea of a short skit spoofing the Beatles' film A Hard Day's Night. He had originally written "I Must Be In Love" which he realised sounded very "Beatley" and thought of the Rutles skit. He passed the idea to Idle, who had a separate idea for a sketch about a boring TV documentary maker. Idle and Innes decided to connect the two ideas into one extended filmed sequence, and this was shot for the TV show.


On the Wikipedia page above you see some pictures from the great TV video Rutles - All you need is cash 1978. Nice to watch that !
Here's a 9 minute clip of that TV show with George Harrison and Ron Wood !
So funny to watch the interview by George Harrison (look at the background) !!!!!

On 2007_may_22 I already posted Rutles - Sgt Rutter's only darts club band. Today an other album by them.

Rutles - The Rutles 1978
01-Goose-Step Mama
02-Number Two
03-Baby Let Me Be
04-Hold My Hand
05-Blue Suede Schubert
06-I Must Be In Love
07-With A Girl Like You
08-Between Us
09-Living In Hope
10-Ouch!
11-It's Looking Good
12-Doubleback Alley
13-Good Times Roll
14-Nevertheless
15-Love Life
16-Piggy In The Middle
17-Another Day
18-Cheese And Onions

My opinion about bitrates

A word about bitrates.
This issue is totally out of bound in my opinion. I notice almost everybody is doing 224/320 kbs nowadays, which isn´t really necessary and simply blows up the amount of (internet) data. In reality it´s the quality of the source material and the quality of the encoding program which makes for the quality of the mp3. I have done in the past a lot of rips in 128 kbs, which I keep that way because they are absolutely sufficient. I've tried 160 and 192 kbs, because there is a slight, but listenable improvement in quiet passages in todays recordings (not the old analog '60 recordings...). Everything above that isn´t useful. I've seen tests with very good equipment. Ordinary people couldn´t even tell, which one was the mp3 with 128, and which one was the CD. Trained people can do that, but they couldn´t with mp3s in 192 kbs versus 320 kbs. Very few could tell the difference between the two in a direct source a/source b test. The issue is getting religious, as is sometimes the discussion vinyl versus CD.
What´s really silly about the whole thing is the fact, that some people now blow up their old 128 kbs mp3's to 320kbs, which isn´t of any use at all (in fact decreases the quality).

So all my examples are and will be in just 128kbs ! You will have to do with that....
And if you still want better sound quality : simply go out and buy it !

EDIT
A last remark. How much didn't we like in Europe the midwave broadcasts from the off-shore radio stations in them years like Radio Caroline and Mi Amigo through our little transistor radios. We were sooo satisfied.

Today the Beatles are for sale

As I told ya earlier I'm not so into the Beatles. As I've understood real Beatles fans mostly vote Revolver as their best album. To me it's Beatles for sale. Nice rock'n'roll music.

Here's the Beatles for sale Purple Chick three CD de luxe edition.

CD 1 and 2 contain the normal album both in stereo and mono with some bonustracks.
CD 3 contains some outtakes. See the scan below.
All together about three hours music.

To get this all into one file of 100MB max I had to use bitrate 80kbs. In my opinion it still sounds great.
I know it's available elsewhere on the inter-net in a much higher bitrate.
But if you will be satisfied with my low sample go to the comments.

Beatles the Braun-Kirchherr tapes 1960_april

Beatles (aka Beatals) - The Braun Kirchherr Original April 1960 tapes.
In April 1960 during the school vacation Paul borrowed a neighbour's tape recorder to record the then-called "Beatals" in his family home at No.20 Forthlin Road in Liverpool. In 1961 different tapes from these sessions were given to their friends in Hamburg, Hans Walther Braun and Astrid Kirchherr. In the late 70's Frank Dostal borrowed both original tapes and spliced them together in the Teldec studio on Heussweg is Hamburg. He made three copies, one for Hans Walther Braun, one for Astrid Kirchherr and one for himself.

In April 1988 some tracks of one of these copies were released on the German LP "The Quarrymen At Home". Soon later most of the other tracks were released on a Dutch double LP called "John, Paul, George and Stu - Liverpool May 1960". The final missing vocal track "The World Is Waiting For The Sunrise" finally made it on Belmo's "Happy Christmas" single in 1991. All future CD releases were lifted from these sets which unfortunately were heavily compressed and edited. Even the official "Anthology Vol.1" double CD has the reverb and echo that was added to the tape in 1988! So it's not copied from the source tape but from the vinyl bootleg.

For the first time now you have the chance to listen to the material lifted from the original source tape. To be honest, there are still some little snippets missing but many tracks are one or two seconds longer than on any previous release and one song for the first time ever could be heard in it's entirely: "Well Darling" on all previous releases was shortened from the original 5'06" to about 2'30" or 3'30". Here it is in full length without any fades or edits!




What's left? Beware of the so-called "1969 acetate". It was made in early 1988 by the same guys who originally did "The Quarrymen At Home" LP. Now relax, float downstream and enjoy the Beatals as nature intended!
Manfred Weissleder, February 2002


WARNING. In my opinion this is only worthy to real Beatles fans who yet don't have this. To them it's a real 'gem' !! If you just like Beatles' music you may be disappointed. Make your choice : going to the comments or not.

Rolling Stones - 12x5 (Twelve by five)

ABCKO acquired the Rolling Stones' catalog after Allen Klein became their manager in 1965. The legal battles during the 70s produced releases that the Stones opposed (they took out full page adds asking fans not to buy them), including the controversial Metamorphosis releases (which are now available on CD for the 1st time ever). But the sad fact is that the Stones lost control of their great early material. With these remastered SACD releases, we at last have some idea of what they really sounded like in the studio. If we had these 40 years ago they would have ended up Greatest Rock And Roll Band in the Universe instead of just our tiny little World.

This is the Stones 2nd US album, released Oct 23, 1964. It cemented the early blues band legend with tracks from their famous Chess Studios session in Chicago during the 1st American tour (Muddy Waters helped carry their gear into the studio) and tracks recorded at Regent Sound in London. Essentially, this is the album that finalized their status as champions of Chicago blues.

The album starts with Chuck Berry's Around And Around, which the Stones had been doing as a show stopper in the UK, the big hits Time Is On My Side and It's All Over Now, the great Around and Around (my personal favorite) and the great slow blues numbers Confessin' The Blues & Good Times Bad Times. Although they used to do a lot of instrumentals, 2120 South Michigan seems to have survived as the only memory of this part of the early Stones familiar to most fans.

Beatles, Rolling Stones & Elvis Presley weeks

Possible articles in the near future.

None really scheduled.
As I told ya earlier last year I wanna reconsider the future of my Blog : CLOSE or go on.


The next three weeks I just wanna post some Beatles, Rolling Stones and Elvis Presley 'items'.
Maybe YOU have some suggestions ?

EDIT 2008_01_12
I don't have any problems to find in my opinion interesting albums by Elvis Presley or the Rolling Stones.
The Beatles.... quite different. I'm not really a fan....lol.. This costs me visitors...
I already prepared for tomorrow the 1960 Paul McCartney home tapes by Beatles (aka Beatals) : The Braun-Kirchherr tapes.
But what can the next one be ? The Quarrymen (including a few seconds of Puttin' On The Style 7-6-57, their oldest known recording) ? Some BBC radio recordings ?
A or some video's ? Or maybe even their great 'alternates' the Rutles........... ?

A crusade for Popcorn on Laser radio tonight

This saturday it's again Popcorn evening. TWO shows in ONE week ! How fortunate we'll start this year !
Just checking the songs at this moment of writing (friday evening). I have 16 of the first 20 songs, not bad at all as Theo always turnes on with recently discovered or even completely unknown old songs.

So tonight there's on LASER radio the first 2008 Popcorn programm called A crusade for Popcorn presented by Mr 'Mellow Popcorn' Theo Dumoulin.
Saturday at exactly 20hrs local_CET time (14hrs_CST time) Theo Dumoulin starts again. You can attend live if you JOIN us ! This way you get the internet stream directly in your Winamp or Mediaplayer.
You can also go to the LASER stream page and their Laser stream.

Here's my 'alternative' playlist of Theo's 2008_01_05 crusade for Popcorn
01-Tony Brent - Make It Soon
02-Ria Bartok - See If I Care
03-Dee Clark - Bare Footin'
04-Gene Chandler - Everybody let's dance
05-Jackie Edwards - Blue Moon
06-Craig Douglas - Oh, What A Day
07-Ernie Freeman & His Combo - Raunchy
08-Dale Hawkins - Susie-Q
12-Line Renaud - Pa p'tite folie (My truly fair)
14-Jimmy Ricks & The Ravens - Daddy Rollin' Stone
16-Baby 'Justine' Washington - Leave Me Alone
17-Jerry Butler - Find Another Girl
22-Jo Ellyn - It's so wonderful
26-Lorne Lesley - Bloodshot Eyes
29-Ed Townsend - Stay With Me
30-Dennis Volpe - The House Where Johnny Lives
31-Micky Denton - Steady Kind
32-Xavier Cugat - Apache
33-Dennis Turner - Roll On
37-Chuck Payne - Ripple In The Stream


Please note.
NONE of the above songs are on Theo's playlist. You'll have to listen yourself.
Some songs can be called Popcorn but not all. But they're all 'my alternative songs'.
I did choose as a funny 'bonus' 33-Dennis Turner - Roll on because of the involved Chevy (Chevrolet) I wrote earlier this month.... lol.
You can find more music of Theo's and this playlist posted on my Blog by Jerry Butler on 2007_december_08, Dee Clark on 2007_november_07 and Ben E King on 2007_09_28. So check them archives !

I finish this article with 2 video-clips. At the left Bobby Darin - Dream lover and

at the right the 'singing milkman' (so no dentist...) Craig Douglas - Lonesome me.

Go to the comments to get the 20 songs of my 'alternative' playlist of Theo's 2008_01_05 Crusade for Popcorn. I included the two video-clips.

Dario Moreno & Brigitte Bardot dance-video

I wrote on 2007_October_17 an article about Dario Moreno.

Amongst the songs I offered was his hit Brigitte Bardot.

Baikinange pointed at this posting on my Blog and even found a one minute dance-video of the two.
Wouldn't you liked to have danced with Brigitte Bardot ?


Sadly the clip ends just when it becomes very interesting....... :-)

Cliff Richard and Phil Everly were dreaming ...


Listened last days to a lot of old Everly Brothers LP's and went through my Blog what I posted about hem. Wasn't much. If there are suggestions/requests feel free to comment.
I posted this in 2006 and want to repost this Youtube video. Watch it, it's great.

All I have to do is dream by Cliff and Phil, a little older of course (aren't we all ?) both still sounding great ! Youngsters can learn about real singing.
