Click to expand.You don't find most classical stuff online. If you're looking for specific composers or more obscure pieces, they're hard to find. I know that a lot of money from the recordings I buy go to the record labels, but I like supporting orchestras, conductors, and performers that I enjoy. EDIT: Additionally, to me, it's like having a bookshelf full of books. I've got a bookshelf with books and a bookshelf with classical CDs. There's something about actually having a physical collection on a shelf that really appeals to me. I last bought one a few years ago, came with encryption so I couldn't play it on my PC.
It might have been Paul Kelly on the EMI label. I don't have a HiFi cd player or anything, just a PC with a good amp and speakers (proper amp and bookshelf speakers) So I wasn't impressed, and lets face it, nothing noteworthy has been released recently, so I just stopped buying CDs. BTW: I burnt the CD without the crap that originally stopped me playing it on my PC, so they haven't prevented piracy, they just stopped me buying any more.
Edit: Sorry, I'm wrong, I have bought a few CDs after that directly from the artist, so no major record label shinannigans. So the last CD I bought might have been Gotye 'Like Drawing Blood'.
£12.50 ADV, Welcome to the magical world of Anna Calvi – a place where beauty and darkness conspire and collide, where untamed emotions conquer and consume. Influenced by the vocals of artistes as diverse as Nina Simone, Maria Callas and Scott Walker, the guitars of Django Rheinhard and Robert Johnson, the classical romanticism of Ravel and Debussy, Anna Calvi may be inspired by musicians from the distant past, but her sound is still very much of the here and now. Live, Anna Calvi has adopted an intimate backing band consisting of Mally Harpaz on guitar, harmonium and percussion, and Daniel Maiden on drums, and the results are often overwhelmingly epic. £10.50 ON SALE FRIDAY 2ND SEPTEMBER F**ked Up return to the UK this week for shows in support of their magnificent album David Comes To Life. The culmination of these dates sees the band play a special performance, bringing their annual Halloween party to the UK for the first time with a headline set at The Scala in London on October 31st, where the band will play in costume and those attending are highly advised to do so too.

Also playing and joining in for the dressing up fun will be Eagulls and Cold Pumas Right from the start, Toronto’s FUCKED UP have been pushing musical and conceptual boundaries.
On new album David Comes To Life The band sound tighter, with more space for the flourishes and imaginative song-writing that entwine their love of British indie pop with heavy riffing, and some genuinely twisted turns. The triple-guitar interplay between Mike Haliechuk, Josh Zucker and Ben Cook has risen to symphonic levels. They channel musicians from Angus Young, Pete Townshend and Noel Gallagher to Bob Stinson and Lyle Preslar with ease and grace.

Joining the dots between Mudhoney and The Libertines, their debut EP ‘We Were Children’ (which has already gained Zane Lowes coveted ‘Hottest Record In The World’ status) is a fittingly heart-racing call-to-arms for a generation left crying out for band name worthy of being Tip-Ex’d onto a satchel.
Their debut LP will be released this August. Tickets from: Support from and. WWW.SEETICKETS. Bbc World Service Lilliburlero Purcell. COM Baxter Dury releases his third album, Happy Soup, today and announces a show at Hoxton Bar and Kitchen.
Produced by Craig Silvey (Arcade Fire, Arctic Monkeys, Portishead) and recorded in Baxter’s hometown of London, the album will be released in digital and CD format. ‘Claire’ is the first single to be taken from it, released on 1 st July. ‘Happy Soup’ is worlds away from the darkness and romantic disappointments of previous LPs ‘Len Parrot’s Memorial Lift’ (2002) and ‘Floor Show’ (2005), so much so that Dury refers to his new effort as “seaside psychedelia”. Its ten tracks narrate everyday tales of dancing on the patio in Marigolds and seedy sex in Portugal, yet Baxter’s lyrical playfulness and acute character analysis ensure the songs are anything but mundane.
Just take the amusing picture painted of London’s Portobello Road in love song ‘Trellic’ or ‘The Sun’ in which Madelaine Heart’s honeyed guest vocals swim in-between bursts of Baxter’s mad, infectious laughter and colourful, rippling guitars. First single ‘Claire’ meanwhile slings his cockney charm around bus fare funk and unforgettable bass hooks. It’s not quite all rainbows and carousels though – had Joy Division scored a Batman soundtrack, the looping bass and menacing spoken-drawl of ‘Picnic On The Edge’ would undoubtedly have made the cut. ‘Happy Soup’ tracklisting: • Isabel • Claire • Leak At The Disco • Afternoon • Happy Soup • Trellic • Picnic On The Edge • Hotel In Brixton • The Sun • 10.

“That Beep” is the Eurovision Song Contest winner that Architecture in Helsinki can never have. It’s got the patented AIH dose of elation with healthy lashings of WTF?, a synth-break to rival the World Cup Soccer theme and Kellie Sutherland’s effortlessly sly and sexy pop vocal, set to swirl around your head for days: “Dressed up as bubble gum / I’m stuck to your shoe / Let’s run.” “That Beep” is the first taste of Architecture in Helsinki’s post-Places Like This trajectory. 2007’s groundbreaking, ground-shifting crossover album Places Like This presented countless threads the band could follow.
Their fans have come to expect the unexpected, and so have the band themselves. Places Like This took the band from much-loved indie contenders to chart-climbing world conquerors.
At just over half an hour, it’s Architecture in Helsinki’s shortest album, but despite its brevity, it’s their densest, most idea-packed recording. The album’s mind boggling scope encompasses the steel drum-laden, dance floor inducement of “Heart It Races”, the frantic stutter-funk of “Debbie”, the spastic sexbeat of “Hold Music” and a million other flavours of fun.

George Harrison Discography Torrent 320 more. At just 23, Fred Macpherson is already something of a veteran.
He’s fronted two of the most infamous underground bands to have emerged from London in the last decade: the legendarily rowdy upstarts Les Incompetents, and the doomy experimentalists Ox.Eagle.Lion.Man. For Spector, Fred enlisted friends Christopher Burman (guitar), Thomas Shickle (bass), Jed Cullen (synth and guitar) and Danny Blandy (drums), and together they make a heady mix of the electronic and the nostalgic which sounds totally new and yet weirdly, intoxicatingly familiar. Between them, they’ve cooked-up a new kind of peculiarly English pop; pitched somewhere between Roxy Music and The Strokes, The Killers and Kanye, Sinitta and Sinatra. ‘What You Wanted’ is a perfectly polished, gleaming gem of a pop song, with tender, honest lyrics and an infectious melody Watch the video here: S.C.U.M remix of ‘What You Wanted’ Plus support from JAMIE N COMMONS Tickets available from: +00 +33 Follow us on Facebook Follow us on Twitter Follow us on Tumblr. £9.50 ADVANCE,,, Eat Your Own Ears and Numbers present: HUDSON MOHAWKE has announced his first London headline show at XOYO on October 19th. Hudson Mohawke – aka Ross Birchard – is one of the most in-demand producers of the moment -a former DMC UK Champion at 14, he’s recently been working with Tinie Tempah (whose next record he’s producing tracks for at the moment), and Chris Brown (who recently collaborated with HudMo on his latest track released online). Just Blaze, responsible for producing some of the biggest hiphop and R’n’B records of the last two decades and Diplo have both proclaimed HudMo their current favourite producer, with renowned UK producer Paul Epworth also a fan.
He’s also recently been in the studio in LA with Kane Beatz (producer of US #1 singles for Lupe Fiasco, Nicki Minaj and Lil Wayne/Drake) working on forthcoming projects. The new EP, Satin Panthers, (Out Aug 1st) is an explosion of technicolour post R’n’B, and includes ‘Thunder Bay’, a track that Radio 1 and 1Xtra listeners are already more than familiar with. The Guardian called it “the kind of experimental hip-hop production everyone assumed Timbaland would be making by now.” In addition to the EP he’s been getting a lot of deserved attention for his bootlegs, with a new rework of Keri Hilson/Weezy’s ‘Turn Me Off’ and two more for Freek and Party Animal just unveiled.

His music combines elements of vintage Chicago house, the post dubstep and UK garage of artists such as Burial and Martyn, with vocal snippets culled from late 90’s R’n’B to form a unique collage that is all his own. He has recently played sets for the Boiler Room and Rinse FM, and has also recently remixed Radiohead’s Lotus Flower for a forthcoming release” – The Warehouse Project. + SECRET SPECIAL GUESTS Tickets from: 0870 264 3333 0844 477 1000.
