Although I once heard a cover of Every Breath You Take that they did with one of the most gob-smacking bass lines I've ever heard. Mind bending! You can't get it over this side of the Atlantic though, which is a shame.<br /><br />Year 9 are worth listening to!<br /><br />I too was blown away by Stevie.

More people need to catch your enthusiasm for... well anything you're writing about. Seriously. You're gifted with words. Well I'm off to see if there's any of The Bad Plus on You Tube, you have whet my appetite.<br /><br />I had a similar feeling watching Muse (sadly not live - but on the ... (darllen mwy)telly) when they played Glastonbury in 2004 (I think) after being tipped off by one of my year 9 pupils (eternally grateful to Tom Davies). Blew me away - just what I had being waiting for without knowing I was waiting - if you know what I mean?

I heard their version of Smells Like Teen Spirit on the radio and bought the CD straightaway. Never seen them live though!<br /><br />I cried at Brian Wilson. It was a mixture of reasons, partly the sight of him almost inanimate in a chair but mostly the music. "In My Room" was the moment.<br /><br />I've also had awesome moments in clubs hearing DJs play tunes. I think that is a perfectly valid musical experience. It's almost purer than watching a band, it's all about the tune and the people around you. The superstar DJ trend totally missed the point. The DJ should be almost invisible and ego-less to allow the formidable power of TUNE.Carl Morrishttp://quixoticquisling.comnoreply@blogger.com
