Wat Boone en Anka kunnen....

Regis Philbin is een tv-host van een hele slechte talkshow (Live with Regis & Kelly). Maar wat Willem zegt, de tracklist en personel maken nieuwsgierig!

Vorig jaar: Round About Lunchtime: The Complete Columbia Cafeteria Recordings 1955-85, Miles Davis
Round About Lunchtime: The Complete Miles Davis Cafeteria Recordings 1955-1985 collects the highlights (if, indeed, they can be referred to as such) from a massive stash of cassettes surreptitiously recorded on a portable machine by Columbia’s longtime lunch lady, Eunice Johnson, who served Miles and many other Columbia artists their chipped beef on toast throughout this period. While there are a few tasty morsels in the set, which give the listener an insight into the Man with the Horn’s culinary proclivities, listening to the entire 4-disc package is likely to give all but the most avid fan indigestion.

Ook dit jaar: 'Bone Madonna
In yet another startling professional and personal re-invention, the rapidly aging pop songstress Madonna has incorporated the slide trombone and shades of jazz tones into her ever-evolving artistry on this latest release. Never one to rest on her laurels as a joyless, lip-synching, semi-obscene dancer, the Material Girl reportedly spent six months holed up in her lavish English estate working on 'Bone Madonna, immersing herself in an intense exploration of the big brass horn. While recovering from a terrible and bizarre equestrian accident where she fell and broke eight 'bones, Madonna faced the ”wake-up call to her own vulnerability” with verve. The resulting recording takes bold innovation—a constant in Madonna's artistic evolution—to a stunning new level.

Ik strijk over mijn hart als jullie de babelfishvertaling van Perfume of a critic's burning flesh op je repertoire zetten.

(Het beeld van Madonna tuba oefenend in een immens kasteel, zal me nog lang achtervolgen.)
