Well, I haven't purchased any CD's for a while now...not since I installed iTunes on my laptop. It's a bit frustrating because you can only buy music from the UK iTunes store, and despite having a UK account the site keeps flicking me back to the US store. Having said that it works quite well and you can just browse for the music you want - especially good when there's only a few tracks you like on a whole album.
This week I am mostly listening to Foo Fighters, but I've also been wallowing in nostalgia...
I was in a band called Axis in the late 70's. We used to do all original stuff, but we did have one cover song in our whole set called "In the dead of night" taken from an album called UK from a band called....UK
consisting of Allan Holdsworth, John Wetton, Eddie Jobson and Bill Bruford. My band was just begining to get a vibe going in the music press (notably from a long demised weekly called 'Musicians Only') and they raved about the way we covered this song (wish they'd raved as much about our original stuff). Consequently I've got a soft spot for the album and this song in particular - despite the fact that the music is pretentious and the lyrics are pseudo nonsensical babble.
My vinyl copy got lost in a house move somewhere along the line and I thought it had been deleted from catalogues, but good old iTunes had the whole album on line.
