Quotenoughties I was listening to my recording of Fleetwood Mac`s "Rumours" one night this autumn. All of a sudden my A-103 TEAC stereo cassette deck exploded with a loud bang and a smell of burnt. There was even some smoke. I was sure it`s days were gone after that, but know what? It still works as nothing has happened... Wow, I don't recall Rumours to be such explosive music ..

I used cassettes mainly for the car stereo in the 80s and 90s because the radio programmes were unbearable. Nowadays I put my car driving music on a USB stick. After most cassettes could no longer be properly played I threw most of them away (they only contained stuff transferred from my LPs or CDs anyway). I only kept a few with special stuff. Also my cassette deck conked out a few years back

QuoteIdorh Stones are No 1 for me, beyond that I am a fan of Keith and Charlie. But we have to be honest , Keith has problems with his fingers due to rheumatism. It can be numb with him, but it still limits fluid and fast playing. It's not from today, it's been like that for years. I assume most of the long solos on HD are Ron's. Furthermore, I don't underestimate Keith he is

Got to know only now, John Marshall, probably best known for his drumming in Soft Machine, died in September 2023 at age 82. Not sure whether there is any real Stones connection. Well, he has been one of the drummers for Alexis Korner’s Blues Incorporated, like Charlie Watts.

Realistically speaking, I guess that 2024 will be a touring year as long as none of them gets ill. They might have time for an occasional brief session thrown in for good measure but possibly not much more.

Listening to Hackney Diamonds to me is still overshadowed by Hairball's death and other shite going on around me right now, so I want to leave it at some descriptive remarks for the moment. It's a very coherent, consistent and homogeneous-sounding album to me, not a torn affair like e.g. Voodoo Lounge. It was certainly a good idea to cut the album down to 12 songs. It's got its ver

This is devastating news. Hairball is one of those people whose stamp is to be found all over IORR. This place will not be the same without him. I began to get a bad feeling when Hairball no longer posted in the Hackney Diamonds-related threads, and definitely when no more posts by him appeared in the discussion of Roger Waters’ then still impending release of his remake of Dark Side Of The Moon.

Meanwhile I had the chance to listen to the whole album more properly. What can I say, first of all it suffers severely from galloping Waterism (or should I say, Waterization?).

In service of that he uses almost every (formerly) free second (i.e., the orig
