My thanks to World Leader Symes who tells me "In this month's Q magazine there is an
interview with Graham Coxon, the guitarist with Blur. I think the
article is called The Soundtrack of My Life. He is holding a copy of the
album cover (vinyl!) for Court and this is what he says:
Q: What album do never tire of hearing?
King Crimson’s In The Court Of The Crimson King is an album I can become pretty obsessed with. I can’t listen to it just once, I have to listen to it again. Immediately. It has really pretty, fairy sort of songs on it and quite big ones. It’s just so exciting. It’s just my favourite things: organs, drums and guitars all going mental!

No Accounting For Pete's Sake!
:: Posted by Sid Smith on Thu., Dec 22, 2011
My thanks to Natron for bringing to our attention this snippet from Pete Atkin's newsletter. "MEANWHILE –
The struggle goes on with SonyBMG and the very grand
Michael Smith to get them to account to me for sales over the last
twenty years involving the last three RCA albums. There’s been a bit of
progress, but not really very much. It’s a pathetically small amount of
money involved, but I’ll be blowed if I’ll let it go. Jarndyce and
Jarndyce spring to mind,"
Natron comments "When challenged over their business practices a justification that is
often trotted out by company directors & executives is that they
have a legal obligation to "maximise share holder value". They are
rarely challenged on whether their actions actually achieve this aim. "

12399 Is A Magic Number
:: Posted by Sid Smith on Thu., Dec 22, 2011
Here's some interesting figures on how many plays a band or musician would have to get in order to pull in the minimum wage in the USA. Of course, as many wags and blow-hard desk jockeys will be quick to point out, these musicians should just be doing it for the love of music! Somebody is getting rich from all these streaming services but it isn't the musicians.
