Talking of Gram Parsons.......
2008-06-04 22:19:00 I first heard of him when I bought and was absolutely bowled over by Elvis Costello's album 'Almost Blue'. Elvis recorded it in Nashville, I think, with some local musicians added to the Attractions. Every track on the album was a country cover and the LP cover carried a sticker which famously said: "WARNING: This album contains country & western music and may cause offence to narrow minded listeners." The most memorable track, for me, was Gram's immortal 'Hot Burrito #1' (sensibly renamed 'I'm Your Toy' - never was a sublime song more ridiculously titled). When I finally caught up with Gram's own version with, of course, the Flying Burrito Brothers, I had to accept that the original was better, if only for the heartbreaking cracking of his voice at crucial stages, but Elvis gives him a run for his money. More of Gram perhaps when my son posts his own take on this seminal artist - and more of Emmylou when the new album is finally released. It's been delayed but I've ...

Gram Parsons, 'Long Black Limousine': Free MP3 of the Day
2008-04-08 00:39:00 When Gram Parsons first started recording in the 1960s, country was anything but 'hip.' But this Georgia boy's love for the music was genuine, and his laid-back 'cosmic' take on old-school standards opened a new generation's eyes and ears (and gave inspiration to bands like the Stones, the Eagles, and Uncle Tupelo).This vault release showcases previously unreleased live recordings from Gram's band the Flying Burrito Brothers in '69.[Download free MP3 now]Tech Special One

Buying Parsons Chairs - What You Need to Know
2008-01-14 01:07:00 Parsons chairs are commonly seen in homes around the dining room, adding a simplistic type of elegance. The great thing about using parsons chairs is that their design blends in with just about any home dcor. This piece of furniture is considered "transitional" since the elements of its design covers a number or periods to include Arts and Crafts, Art Nouveau, Art Deco, and Mission. Although you will find parsons chairs on the market today made from many different materials, the construction method and design remains much the same ? honest and simple while offering charm and sophistication. The other fascinating aspect of parsons chairs is that because it has transitioned down through the years, you will find different elements that capture each period. For example, some parsons chairs have the richness of the Mission period, incorporating an emphasis of line in the design. Then, for the Art Nouveau period, the parsons chairs have more fluidity, a scroll back and a uniqu...

Gram Parsons- Live Archive, Vol. 1
2007-11-18 11:02:00 At the time of this incredible two-disc set's release in 2007, the Gram Parsons rarities well had been wrung so dry that Amoeba Records co-founder Dave Pinz had to nose around another band's vaults (the notoriously deep archives of the Grateful Dead) for these Flying Burrito Brothers tapes. The material--recorded by Bear Stanley, the Grateful Dead's legendary live engineer--comprises two honky tonk-heavy sets from April 4, 1969 and April 6, 1969, when the Brothers opened for the Dead at San Francisco's Avalon Ballroom.While the Parsons-era Burritos were never the tightest live band, Archives, Vol.1 captures the one short era during which everyone in the band was together, getting along, and feeling great about the music they had discovered. You can hear it in the tracks: Chris Hillman's delicate harmony on "Dark End of the Street," Sneaky Pete Kleinow's pedal steel pyrotechnics on Waylon Jennings's "Sweet Mental Revenge," and Parsons's lovely tenor on a devastating version o...

Reactions to Tony Parsons: Pleading his case before the PCC?
2007-11-01 18:42:00 On the 29th October I blogged on the xenophobic and biased comments made by Tony Parsons.I found them offensive, and am concerned that they may add to the negative picture of British people that many in other parts of Europe have.It seems many share my view.A twenty-one page thread on the Mirror forums expressing dismayAnd a rather unusual attack on the UKMany people are complaining to the Press Complaints Commission.Do they have a case?The Code of Practicei) The press must avoid prejudicial or pejorative reference to an individual's race, colour, religion, gender, sexual orientation or to any physical or mental illness or disability. I think describing a Portuguese diplomant as "sardine-munching" is a breach of that section of the Code.Unless Tony Parsons can prove that Antonio Santana Carlos has a reputation for regularly eating sardines.Which is unlikely.

2007-10-29 10:21:00 Is the Mirror turning into the Sun?Tony Parsons seems to be helping it along the path to xenophobia.Today his column included an attack on just about everyone in Portugal because they haven't been feting the McCanns while wearing yellow ribbons.And it's not the first time he has attacked those who don't venerate the McCann'sHe calls the Portuguese Police cruel and stupid, and accuses "locals" of jeering at Kate McCann.Yet he doesn't complain about Sky News following the McCann's home on a flight.He doesn't complain about the speculation in the British press.It seems that the only people who have done something wrong in the mind of Tony Parsons are Portuguese.He even calls the Portguese ambassador a "sardine muncher". It's like reading Kelvin McKenzie.It would be nice if British culture could lose its xenophobia "Little Englandism" and embrace diversity.No doubt most Portuguese now think the UK is full of small-minded Sun readers with a BNP registration form in one hand and a...

Album: Alan Parsons Project - Tales of Mystery and Imagination
2007-07-12 08:10:00 For my own part, I have never had a thought which I could not set down in words, with even more distinctness than that with which I conceived it. (…) There is, however, a class of fancies, of exquisite delicacy, which are not thoughts, and to which, as yet, I have found it absolutely impossible to adapt to language. (…) [These fancies] arise in the soul (alas, how rarely!) only at its epochs of most intense tranquility — when the bodily and mental health are in perfection — and at those mere points of time where the confines of the waking world blend with (…) the world of dreams. [And so I captured this fancy, where] all that we see or seem is but a dream within a dream. – Edgar Allan Poe, adapted from “Marginalia - Part V” and the poem “A Dream Within A Dream”. The “Tales of Mystery and Imagination”, Alan Parsons Project’s first album for me captures the essence on their creative career1, and weaves ...

Alan Parsons Project - Don't Answer Me (1984)
2007-06-11 11:00:00 Engineer/producer Alan Parsons and his colleague, songwriter and lyricist Eric Woolfson, formed the Alan Parsons Project in 1975. Throughout their career, the Alan Parsons Project recorded concept albums (including adaptations of Poe and Asimov books), with a revolving cast of session musicians. 1982's Eye in the Sky was their greatest success; the title track charted in the Top Ten on the pop charts and the album went platinum. Although they weren't able to repeat that success, the group maintained a devoted cult audience.As indicated by its name, the Alan Parsons Project was not a band so much as a concept overseen by the titular Parsons, a successful producer and engineer. Born in Britain on December 20, 1949, he began his musical career as a staff engineer at EMI Studios, and first garnered significant industry exposure via his work on the Beatles' 1969 masterpiece, Abbey Road. Parsons subsequently worked with Paul McCartney on several of Wings' earliest albums; he also over...
Parsons Code: Finding Music By Melodic Contours and Musipedia
2007-06-06 20:06:00 When I was at Binghamton University in 1996, I was introduced to a very curious musical tome that was a directory for finding music by knowing whether the next sequenced note of a composition (or syllable of a song) was the same (R for ?repeat?) went up (U) or down (D) in pitch. I had never seen anything like this before and was amazed by how efficient it was for finding the titles/words of compositions that I did not know the name of (or recall) -only the music or ?melodic contours?. Remembering a ?tune? and ?not the words? seems to one of our global plights as human beings. This dilemma is caused by the hemispheric division of the brain and us not being able to re-connect them simultaneously to retrieve the whole of the complete thought, or in this case the words/title we associate with the music. This also happens with ?names? and ?faces? (I always remember a face -but not the name syndrome). This is why Parson?s Code and...

Tim Gunn might?ve left Parsons, but Project Runway hasn?t
2007-02-03 02:56:02 Tim Gunn is leaving Parsons, but "Project Runway" is not. Parsons The New School of Design at Seventh Avenue and 40th Street will continue as home base for "Runway" when the fourth season kicks off later this year, sources said yesterday. The question of whether Parsons would remain in its "star- ring" role on "Runway" arose following the news that Gunn, the designers’ mentor on the Bravo reality show, has taken a new job at Liz Claiborne Inc., as The Post’s Page Six reported yesterday. Gunn had been chairman of Parsons’ fashion design department. Meanwhile, negotiations between Gunn and The Weinstein Company, which produces "Runway" for Bravo, are continuing. "[The company] is very confident that he’ll be back for the fourth season," officials said. Page Six I guess the rumors that the show was moving to LA were just that.
