This sounds good too. More Shihad-y than other one.

Hard News: Still sounds good, in reply to Sacha,
Thanks Sacha. Felt like a nerd taking it, but not an opportunity I was going to let go. My only regret is Shayne Carter, who was there too, didn't sit down with them.

Indeed. But you were there too? I can't believe how many people I know who I didn't see in that very full room.
Sure was full. Bit of an 80s bFM convention too, which was fun.
Took a few photos. Lighting was challenging, but after being squashed in the back for three songs, I ventured outside and found myself standing side of stage with some thoroughly nice people, getting lost in the music.

ETA That said, what is an "Immersive" release when it's at home?
Audio-visual meditation session with binaural sound beats for focal meditation.
You are feeling very sleepy. Please send only cash.

I love that I’m drawing a blank on it. Wha?
SWWYSGAI?

You can't. The Elvis Costello list already did that bit for you.
If you type TAWTWMRS into Google, it takes you straight to your blog in 2005, which brought me to this. Go figure?

No, no. It's just claiming I started appreciating music prior to my 8th birthday might be a bit much. Hey Jude was played regularly on record and on the piano as far back as I can remember in our household.

You will have the opportunity of playing Dark Side Of The Moon in one seven hour session shortly.
Saw Roger Waters play this at the North Harbour stadium in Jan 2007. Not bad. But seven hours? That's taking 'long player record' a bit too literally.

mid last century.
That's a little before my time. About a quarter century, in musically appreciation terms. ;-)

Yes. Back to how things used to be..
It is an interesting point. The 'single' used to be quite a big deal, particularly for seminal bands like Joy Division and the like. An album was more of an event, and I don't think this move, or any other I can think of, will stop bands making full length albums, and then on occasion getting them pressed on vinyl. If anything, there seems to be a resurgence in this. David Kilgour's Left by Soft is on limited vinyl release, and I got The Clean Mister Pop recently.
(And when you think about it, an arbitrary small collection of songs to be played in a specific order is a bit weird.)
I think some of the 'great' albums have been designed to work in a particular order. I would include The Smith's first album in this, but many others besides. At the risk of being banished, ever tried playing a Pink Floyd album out of order?
