Don't really like it.Look... i don't like hip hop, but at least i can spell it right, with 2 "H's... That wasn't much, but it was the dribble that broke the camels back... Welcome to my ignore list, as soon as i figure where the button is.	personthingy (1670)

466398	2006-07-04 11:17:00	Well, I suppose it must have been rather a severe culture shock for you to be suddenly plunged into 1920s music without very much preparation, so you will be excused this time. At this moment they're playing some Al Bowlly, he's better than Ukulele Ike. I knew what to expect, As much as its not my cup of tea I found the music alright though badly recorded and nothing stunning ( I hope the 6 or 7 songs I sat through weren't the super talents of the ara) All tracks were ruined the moment the vocals started, Terrible lyrics, embarrising singing....Worse then an 80's hair band....

The falseto style of singing, so popular in its day is a pain to my ear, many a good recording has been ruined by the vocal, particularly some Bix Beiderbecke sides where the ears have to be strained to filter out the 'singing' in order to listen to him doing some marvellous ad-libbing on cornet in the background. Yet it was what people wanted. The record studio managers, some of them were little gods who dictated what the bands could play, let me quote/paraphrase from Jean Pierre Lions' book about Bix: The musical director at the Victor studios in the 20s was an Eddie King, "a man who was responsible for selecting each title and instructing the band how to play it. Driven solely by commercial considerations, the record producers knew exactly what their audience wanted, and their artists were forced to comply with these supposed expectations whatever their preferences might be." So, the vocalists were doing what their audiences wanted. But then along came Bing Crosby, and a whole generation of singers wanted to sound like him, just listen to early Frank Sinatra. It's difficult to find early Crosby in downloadable audio files due to copyright, but here he is in 1933, 'Please' great-song-stylists-uk.com Quite different to the falseto singers of a year or two earlier. But lets go back to 1927, near the very start of 24 year old Crosby's career when he was with Paul Whiteman, and a cornet player Bix Beiderbecke also 24, had just been taken on by Whiteman: www.redhotjazz.com Almost everyone else at that time were trying their best to sound like "castratos", listening to them, I'm surprised they didn't do themselves injuries :) Dont forget that people of that time, if presented with the, ahem, pop "singing" of today would also fall about laughing with ridicule, strange as that may seem to some. :) Then you say the music was badly recorded, well they didnt have multi track recording mixing dubbing and all the audio bells and whistles etc etc in those days. Electric recording using bright emitter triode valves started in 1925, but didn't take off until 1926, acoustic recordings were still be being made as late as 1928/29 in some studios that hadn't re-invested in the new equipment. Amplifiers, and microphones and studios were primitive. What is amazing is how good the recordings actually were. A 78rpm record lasted 3 minutes, and they aimed to get it right first time, they couldn't even play back what they had just recorded.	Terry Porritt (14)

466401	2006-07-05 10:33:00	Have anyone seen Ferrari FXX? No. The Ferrari D50 is more my era, the 1950s were great for motor racing and motorcycle racing. Great names like Sterling Moss, Mike Hawthorn, and the fabulous Juan Fangio, Bob McIntyre, Agostini, clubmans races in the Isle of Man, George Brown and Nero. www.jmfangio.org	Terry Porritt (14)
