Performance / Recording Notes:

Duran Duran make their return to the outdoor stage at Jimmy Kimmel Live in order to promote their latest Billboard
Top 10 album, Paper Gods. The new album has a more modern sound than 2011's brilliant retro-chic "All You Need Is Now".
The previous album largely helmed by uber-producer and Uptowner Mark Ronson really struck a chord with their core
audience with it's Rio-drenched synths and pop melodies. The latest offering much like the ill-fated "Red Carpet Massacre"
attempts to move the band forward with a more modern sound thanks to Mr. Hudson while maintaining a Notoriously classic
feel thanks to long term collaborator, Nile Rodgers. Pressure Off (represented in 2 takes here) is a brilliant single.
It's stacatto vocals and Chic rhythm guitar and funk bass lines harken back to 1986's "Notorious" and "Skin Trade". The
band runs through a pretty even set of 3 new songs and 3 classics. One of which, the mid-tempo "You Kill Me With Silence"
(a live debut?), makes effective use of Simon's melifluous tenor.

All in all it's a solid pull. Most of the between song clapping has been mitagated and there is very little chatting.
However, with that being said, I was positioned fairly close to a middle-aged dude who suffice it to say was pretty
happy to see the guys. Fortunately most of his "excitement" was not directly on mic. He did clap very loudly though.
I've done what I can to take the edge off his clapping and to judiciously edit out his shouting. Also, fades and edits
were applied in order to remove all of warm-up guy Don's (Kinnison-esque) yelling. Simon's vocal mix is completely
dominant here. Hence the minus. For those that like his vocals above all else, you're in for a fucking treat. Holy
shit that boy can still sing!


Of Note:

John plays moog bass on "Last Night In The City". Cool.
Simon's vocals completely soar on the brand new "You Kill Me With Silence". The performance is underpinned by John's
funky bass line. I believe this is the live debut of the song. I might be wrong though.
The cheese factor is still pretty high with Simon still using the pretty lame "Is There Anybody Hungry?" line.

Oh yeah, TURN IT UP LOUD!






Please support the band by purchasing their latest release "Paper Gods" or by going to see them on tour!

Band Of The Month: OASIS **FINAL 2024-10-10 with Round 10**

Seems like the tour excitement is catching on and a few fans have found this page. I don't have anything specifically rare but might as well put it all up. Don't really wanna clear out any of the Google drives so it has to be Pixeldrain. There is a 5GB daily download limit but I probably only have a few days worth. This collection is by no means comprehensive. Share widely if you wish. To be honest going forward - I don't like posting anything I haven't listened to. I lost track and can't really dedicate my life to Oasis right now so it's up to you to point out any flaws, most importantly CD skips from bad rips or too much diginoise - 2 things that make me trash a recording. Anyone have a complete Manchester Dec 1994? The one on Dime is heavily redacted. Can any of the experts recommend anything particularly exciting? Maybe I will make this a monthly thing with a different band. Or not. Like I said, just not feeling it anymore. RIP Douglas Parenteau aka OasisDou...

back on Friday

Lots of crashing ticket prices but unfortunately I didn't feel like spending 6 hours on the bus to Inglewood and back so I have been taking it easy this week. And finishing transfers. Same old drill, I will write up the info files Friday morning and post, possibly deleting stuff to make room so if you have been dawdling on anything, grab it now because once it's gone, that's it. None of the stuff I was threatening to do in lieu of staying home and working on tapes ever materialized. Too hot, too complacent, THC burnout, etc.  + + + And again. Since I spent $229.60 on a concert ticket last night I will probably skip Herbie tonight and a bunch of other stuff I had on the calendar but it was so worth it. More time to work on transfers and get stuff up and out though.  Same old thing, if I have any new transfers, I will write up the info and post on Friday. A lot of the stuff I listen to like one or 2 songs at a time, throw down the markers, get bored and move on to something e...

Back On Friday

 I guess this means I will be back on Friday with any new transfers I might have done. Which ain't much.   * * * *    I will be back next Friday with at least the uncompleted projects I was trying to get up the other day. I didn't go to a single show in the last week period. I have a bunch on my calendar but other than the Prima Donna show I bought a ticket for, who knows what I will end up hitting. I just got a text from the dearly neglected saying "we should go see Billie Eilish" but I think she was one and done for me at least until she hits the corndog circuit. I might take her down there, find her a ticket and turn her loose inside like I did for the Foo Fighters Santa Barbara show but not spending "real money" on my ticket. I also notice stuff on the blog disappearing beneath the fold - when you click "more posts" at the bottom of the first page, it cuts out a huge chunk of content. Like 6-10 entries. I tried changing the amount of posts per ...
