Is this Scott Miller as in Scott Miller and the Commonwealth? Cause I love those guys.
I've liked the little I've heard of them. 'Thus Always To Tyrants' is on my Amazon wish-list.
Looking through The Great Leap Forward, I'm surprised by how many great CDs are now out of print. I knew that parts of my vinyl collection are worth big bucks, but I had no idea I had CDs that were that valuable.
I'm really, really surprised that Submarine Bells is that expensive 'cause I bought it recently enough and it was a normal, second-hand price. Or at least I thought it was.
Just noticed there's a new show on VH1-Classic called BBC Crown Jewels which raids the BBC archives for live music programming. Looks like it's mostly the seventies and eighties, but from a variety of shows
One of the BBC's digital channels, BBC4, has been showing concerts from that period sporadically over the last couple of months. I can remember an E.L.O. concert and The Kinks. It might be the same material repackaged for America; the series here was, for obvious reasons, not called BBC Crown Jewels.
I've liked the little I've heard of them.
I'll stick a couple tracks from their most recent album up on BR tonight for you, Spring. It's very good.
IAmNotReallyASpring - thanks for the link! I've been jonesing for more Game Theory (What I've got is on Vinyl).
I've also got a yen for the Three O'Clock's cover of Lucifur Sam. (Must be the time of year.)
Okay, I finally identified which "Concerto in G" they used on the soundtrack: Concerto in G major RV 151 "Alla rustica". Unfortunately, that's not one of the concertos in G that I have, although it does sound a bit like the Concerto in G major RV 575. Vivaldi is like that.
I'm afraid I can't find any matches with the concert music from the soundtrack. If you like the music of the period, however, I could certainly send you some--my own "music inspired by the film Marie Antoinette" CD if you will.
I actually bought the soundtrack today, and I was going to stick some Halloween stuff on BR anyway. Of course, it's way late here now, but at some point it'll be there.
Oh, Raq, you're the awesome. Thanks so much.
spring, I have Scott Miller on the other computer, so I will get to that tomorrow.
OK, I just sent "Aphrodisiac".
Hey, Buffistae! I had also bought Submarine Bells used a year or two ago (to replace a cassette, 'cause I have to include that aside) for regular used CD price.
