How cool. I had no idea The Beatles were the (accidental) inventors of the secret track!

Such an incredible story. A 17-year-old creates the masterpiece of the 1970s in Tubular Bells, almost loses his mind doing it, and has to struggle to break free from that monster of a record.

In honor of the passing of the legendary Demis Roussos, as well as admiring the musicianship of Vangelis Papathanassiou, who was a monster keyboard player for Aphrodite’s Child before softening with Chariots of Fire.
I hate it when my blog becomes a necropsy report. Unfortunately, the world lost former singer of Aphrodite’s Child, and an amazing singer in his own right, Demis Roussos.
The BBC provides an obituary here.
I’ll bet you didn’t see this coming!
I grew up in the 1980s, where music video was a new art form. One of the first memories I have of MTV is watching, among good new wave ditties, this song. It seemed pompous, boring, and the band looked like they were on a pile of cocaine rather than in a desert. It took about twenty years for me to appreciate the song-craft of Fleetwood Mac.
If you are a fan of “The King” (and I am, certainly), tomorrow will be a great day. Elvis would have turned 80 years old today. The thought boggles the mind. Could you imagine him doing Vegas in this day and age?
Rolling Stone Magazine reports on the reissue campaign here, and also announces the launching of a new website dedicated to promoting the re-releases.
Two wonderful jazz musicians in Mark Nauseef and Miroslav Tadić do an admirable job tackling the work of Jimi Hendrix.

Unlike a great deal of my colleagues, I’m not a vinyl snob. Yes, it sounds wonderful for rock and jazz, but as I enjoy listening to classical and experimental music, I like the idea that I can hear such things with clarity.
That being said, the great Neil Young, himself a fan of technology, has started a service dedicated to audiophiles. PonoMusic (not quite ready for launch yet) is the name of his new venture, and it will be launched on Kickstarter this week.
Upstart Business Journal has more on this wonderful development here.
