How many nominations!

How many nominations!

I'd never heard of her until I read the sky news article on the Brit nominations but then again there isn't much modern chart music I listen to anyway.

Released this morning:
Dan Patlansky - Movin' On.
Maybe a little bit too close to Stevie Ray Vaughan, but the blues is always an interpretation of what has gone before.

...there isn't much modern chart music I listen to anyway.

You're not alone in that.

Back when I used to listen to radio 1, I always disliked hearing the 'Revive 45' jingle, as it meant they were going to play old stuff.

But, I've seen quite a few (dare I say, enlightened) 25ish year olds' comments on YouTube, really praising older music....saying how much they wish they'd been around in past times.
That's something I never said when I was their age....but I can't say that I'm surprised that's how plenty seem to feel now.
(No wonder they ain't too bothered about hi-fi sound).

Of course I'm not saying that all older music was better than now - there's severe rubbish from every decade.
But it must (surely?) be fair to say that the best of the past, beats the best from recent years.

Me too, never been one for much in the way of mainstream chart music and, even less so now as I approach 60 this year.

In 40 years time, today's teenagers will think, the then current, chart music is crap...

With all the technical advances that have been and, continue to be made, plus the ease of access to good quality sources, there has never been a better time to listen to music.

Brilliant technical advances true, but I really think we have gone backwards regarding good music content and dodgy recording practices.

That's the irony.
I wish all of my music had been recorded (properly) with the best of today's tech.

Have to agree with that. My Pathos DAC/headphone amp is good at exposing poor recordings, which always seems to me to be the downside of better kit.

I'll second that
