Standards: 1952 Vincent Black Lightning

Jan 26, 9:46pm Star Maker Machine
Richard Thompson : 1952 Vincent Black Lightning [ purchase a different live version ] In June, 2000, my family went to London. As it turned out, Richard Thompson was playing in Croydon, not too far away, and we got tickets. My wife and I were big fans, and my kids, who were 10 and nearly 7, also loved his music. WFUV, currently my favorite radio station, plays him often, and he regularly appeared at the Tarrytown Music Hall, just down the road from our house, and his shows [...]

We Were Promised Jetpacks tour North America; may not be powered by jetpack

Jan 26, 8:25am Chromewaves
We Were Promised Jetpacks tour North America; may not be powered by jetpack Neil Thomas Douglas As I understand it, yesterday was Robbie Burns Day and while I may have missed out on my annual tradition of posting something suitably Scottish to mark the day - a tradition I've marked exactly zero times in the past forever years - I'm going to make up for it a little bit by leading with some Scots-related content. Firstly, We Were Promised Jetpacks have finally scheduled a second North American tour in support of last year's In The Pit Of The Stomach [...]

New: Hope You Like the New Me

Jan 4, 1:30am Star Maker Machine
New: Hope You Like the New Me Richard Thompson : Hope You Like the New Me [ purchase ] Richard Thompson can be downright creepy at times. Hope You like the New Me gives another meaning to the term "identity theft" Thompson imagines a narrator who takes everything he admires in a perceived rival, and steals it. The musical setting for this is disturbingly simple, as if Thompson is saying, "see how easy that was!" It's mostly an acoustic guitar, playing a repeating pattern that changes only by getting louder and then softer. There is a subtle bass [...]

I libri del 2011

I libri del 2011 Pensavamo che una delle cose migliori da fare per chiudere il 2011 fosse una lista di libri, senza graduatoria, semplicemente io, Emiliano ed Irene abbiamo messo su il nostro contributo dei libro del 2011 che ci sono piaciuti di più. In calce ad ogni post c'è la firma del colpevole della scelta. Il tempo è un bastardo di Jennifer Egan (A Visit from The Goon Squad) Questo è un libro che va letto prima che diventi - come annunciato - una serie tv della HBO. I capitoli [...]

Richard Thompson - Fetzer Vineyards, USA, 1997 This is Richard Thompson live in concert at Fetzer Vineyards, Hopland, CA, USA, back on June 22nd, 1997. During the previous year (1996), Richard released the album 'You? Me?

That album showcased his versatile abilities in both acoustic and electric formats, Thompson devoted one disc to each. The 'Nude' [...]

Second Chance At Big Star

Nov 11, 2011, 2:04pm Flowering Toilet
Second Chance At Big Star If you missed out on scoring a copy of Omnivore's test pressing version of Big Star's Third on Record Store Day, you have a second chance. Omnivore has 500 copies pressed on clear vinyl available for sale exclusively at their web store . The price is steep (in my opinion) at $60, but that is much less than you would pay for a copy on eBay. I was lucky enough to score a copy in store on Record Store Day, and I don't remember paying that much for the black vinyl version. But I know [...]

Full Albums: Richard and Linda Thompson's 'I Want To See the Bright Lights Tonight'

Oct 14, 2011, 5:00pm Cover Me
Full Albums features covers of every track off a classic album. Got an idea for a future pick? Leave a note in the comments! Richard Thompson's solo debut, Henry the Human Fly, began with a song that contained the line, "Don't expect the words to ring too sweetly on the ear." This would become his songwriting credo, as he penned lyrics that were incisive, emotive, and not the least bit sentimental, bringing them home with an equally biting guitar. His wife Linda sang with a powerful clarity, her voice full of aching, mischief, mourning, celebration, or whatever else the song [...]

Richard Thompson tour hits NYC this weekend, was in Long Island last month (pics)

Oct 14, 2011, 1:05pm BrooklynVegan
Richard Thompson tour hits NYC this weekend, was in Long Island last month (pics) photos by Greg Cristman Richard Thompson opened his 90-minute set in the Southern Theatre [on 10/5] with a song that contained the line, "One door opens/Another shuts behind." An optimist might have been fooled into thinking the glass in One Door Opens was half-full. Unsurprisingly, however, Thompson soon ran with the second line. Up next, Waltzing's For Dreamers might have struck a more-romantic note, encasing some shred of hope in a lovely lullaby. But the song also contends waltzing's for [...]
