The artist is called "Blackstratblues", so I'd say he is entitled to

First I hear this, and am really liking it. Solid 8 for starters.

As of now, part of my life soundtrack. Thanks to RP.

Great track and a wonderful album ✌️

Very relaxing - yes, that chord sequence of Am G F is very common, still good though.
Posted 4 years ago by Army183    [ Reply ]
Little bit of 'Stairway to Heaven' in there on the outro.

He's talking about the song that followed, which it did this time also: The Charlatans' "Here Comes a Soul Saver".

AFAIK, the good news is that calle01 is no longer an RP member...unless he's adopted a new username.

  I'm thinking it was a little more than just the chord progression at the end there, with the slide solo over the top sounding a lot like the Zeppelin solo.
 
Yeah, this is exactly what i meant, and now after time i still can hear that slide there. Nice tune anyway.

Totally don't understand this comment at all.  If you don't like Bill's selections, why torture yourself here, simply listen to something else. Personally I dig nearly all of Bill's selections, but then that's why this is my favorite radio station of all time. :)

Both of their albums are pretty good, got a couple of duff tracks but overall great with a pair of quality headphones.

I'm not sure how to rate this. Towards the end I realized I was struggling to stay awake at my desk. Either it was incredibly soothing/relaxing or boring.... Giving it a 7 for now, as it may just have been exhaustion from dealing with Winblows source code documentation (i.e. frustrating crap).

 
Windows, The Beast That Would Not Die. 

I must admit, though, that MS has really screwed the pooch with Windows 8. (Microsoft once loved to call its major software efforts "bet-the-farm" projects but when you have near-monopolies in the OS and office suite spaces, you can bet the farm because you own the bank and the town to boot!) Perhaps it wasn't as bad as Vista but Win8 isn't going to slow the drift away from PCs. 

Redmond might take 5% of the tablet market next year--up from 2% this year! But half the PCs shipped in 2014 will be tablets. To jack in one more metaphor: the ship has sailed, fellas, and you're stuck on the dock. 

Sorry you had to deal with that job, Rich.

I'm hearing a lot of David Gilmour.  With the black stratocaster in the band name I guess that isn't surprising.

I've got this guy/band/whatever bookmarked on my "MySpace Sampling" pages.  You might enjoy a few more of the songs that are there.

I have to say that right at the beginning I thought this was Marvin Gaye's Inner City Blues for more than a couple of seconds . . .
then it just wasn't.

I downloaded the entire New Album from this site and it is great.  Highly recommended.

Well worth NZ $5 (about US/Cdn $3.50).

Posted 13 years ago by helgigermany    [ Reply ]
The "New Album" is good, but besides "Newness", what really stands out is the 07:47 version of "Ode to a Rainy Day".

It's brilliant! {#Wink}

Hmmm.. I might have hurrahed too soon. I just looked at the song status and it's still saying "reviewing". I assumed it was mine since it went into rotation soon after I uploaded it. It's an interesting co-incidence  that the same song by a not-quite-mainstream artist got into LRC at the same time. Seems Warren has a good audience :-)

No, it will remain "The New Album."  The next one will be "The Newer Album," then "The Newest Album."  After that, I dunno.

No, there is an old metaphysical rule that states:

old(t) = new(t-1)

By the same token, "A newer album" always works for a while {#Angel}
