♫ Welcome everyone to Alan’s Album
Archives. The website is about to be launched any day now, with an exciting
batch of 101 album reviews of scintillating music to muse over. I know every
site says this next sentence at some point but we really mean it—please send us
any feedback, we look forward to hearing all your comments whether you’re a
music maestro or a rock rookie, a sophisticated web-surfer or a reluctant
luddite, a literature-loving English specialist or a text-type loving teen. If
you like music, we like your comments, whatever they are (I’ll even start
liking the Spice Girls if you harass me enough) (No promises mind!) Meanwhile,
here’s a quick look at news happening elsewhere in the land of AAA Artists
♫ CSN: According to Ceefax CSN are
working with Rick Rubin, Johnny Cash’s producer, who helped the man in black
re-ignite his career towards the end of his life, on an album of covers to be
recorded and released some time next year. Added to the release of the film De
Ja Vu in September (a Bush-baiting documentary about the super group’s
anti-Iraq war world tour in 2006) this marks a rather busy period in the lives
of CSN/Y!
♫ Grateful Dead/Jefferson
Airplane/ CSN: a new
DVD ‘Go Ride The Music’ has just been released featuring
an hour of rare early 70s Airplane and Quicksilver with
cameos from the Grateful Dead and CSN and others…
♫ Brian Wilson’s new album ‘That Lucky Old Sun’
has just been released and is gaining four-star/ five star reviews
everywhere—it’s a new concept album based around a cover of the title song,
which is especially intriguing bearing in mind that Brian hasn’t tackled a
‘concept’ album properly since the days of Smile (did I ever mention how much I
liked that album?!?)… Alas I can’t offer a verdict as no one near me seems to
be stocking it!
♫ Oasis prepare for the release of
their new album ‘Dig Out Your Soul’ in October with the first screening of
their new promo film on channel four tonight. We’ll tell you how good it was
next week…
