I am listening to Soul, Jazz Funk and US House. A fellow ED resident and I (amongst others) will be attending the Southport Dance Music weekender this weekend.There are rumours of a certain Stevie Wonder attending!


I've seen many greats there over the years......Donald Byrd, Roy Ayers, Jean Carne, Maze, Beverly Knight (before she lost the heavy brummie accent)and Incognito...to name a few. DJ's Norman Jay, Louie Vega/Masters at Work, Jazzy Jeff, Joey Negro..The list goes on.


I am currently listening to Solar Radio on SKY digital channel 0129 or www.solarradio.com (Great msic) and some great Philly music. My daughter also makes sure I listen to her wheels on the bus CD!!


Where are the soul heads on the forum?

Are there no Rufus Wainwright fans out there? I'm counting the days til the next album...

I like a bit of Liza Minnelli and a few musicals too (start the day with The Producers and you are guaranteed a good 'un).

But they did play All that Jazz from Chicago on the radio last week and I was so excited I danced on my glasses. Life's a little blurry now ...

Couldn't really gel with Rufus Wainwright I'm afraid. I love his sister though.

B*****y M****r F*****g A*******s is such a powerful song, sung right from the heart too that it makes the hairs on the back of my neck stand up. It's all about touring with her dad and her realisation that he's a pompous egomaniac who made the rest of the family miserable; laugh a minute!!


Rufus just isn't my thing. Too close to opera for my liking, I can do Antony & The Jonsons, and ex Jonson, Joan as Police Woman is rather good for that moody jazz sound, but Rufus just a step too far for me I guess.


..and good to see you back BB :D


I'm listening to Andrew Bird a lot at the moment.

Ahhh, that's very sweet of you Mockney.

I used to have real problems with Martha but I saw her on Wednesday at the Royal Opera House singing Kurt Weil's Seven Deadly Sins. Wow - she was absolutely amazing, her voice was so well matched with the piece.

Rufus does have his opera moments but there's lots of light pop too. And he's lovely eye candy too!

My first wedding dance was to Rufus - a choreographed jive no less!

      RECOMMENDATION FOR HANDYMAN

      By jreeder · Posted

      I would recommend Lucasz - he responded to our request very quickly, gave us an excellent quote and cleaned up after himself. Will definitely ask him to do any future jobs.

      No to joining America in any attack on Iran

      By malumbu · Posted

      General view is it is tokenistic from Iran, not looking to harm life but show that they are retaliating. Same thing happened after the earlier Israeli attack back in the distant part. There will be debate, even at the top of the Iranian authorities.  Israel even without the US hold the cards.  Although are in this position due to decades of US support. As per my post on the other thread much of the reason the world is in this position is botched US post second world war middle East policy.  Supporting both sides in the Iran/Iraq war being particularly striking Trump mark 1 emboldened the right wing in Israel, perhaps pushed Hammas to more extreme action, and led to the Iranians going rogue on nukes.  I think that the latter was to put them in a stronger position in opening up grade, a country not able to sell vast quantities of oil ,(and gas?) But how does the world move on from this mess? By all means give other views to my simplistic ones

      The NYT ( that right wing alarmist rag) has reported that Iran told Qatar so they could prepare. Iran and Q are on good terms so Q won’t retaliate, esp as Iran is only targeting US bases, which everyone knew to expect.     If anything, it draws Qatar into the dialogue and Q will privately be urging Iran to back down.

      If the Qatari's decide to retaliate then it's all going off...but I suspect the Iranians are hoping for this - one inaccurate missile and the Qatari's may have to. I think the Iranian leadership is working on fast-tracking their own demise and the Americans and Israeli's planning for regime change, maybe with the many political prisoners the Israelis tried to free from the Elvin prison today. What a mess but clearly Iran was becoming a big threat to not only Israel but many of the other Gulf States and was clearly doing scary stuff with nuclear weapons that required action.
