steve you need to put that info into the box with the tree above
Thanks Grant, This new laptop is properly doing my head in... Anita has worked out (with the help of Youtube) how to 'double click' (clicking on the pad with two fingers), but the little window that then appears has different options to my old lappy. I used to select 'copy image link' then went back to AoS and click on image icon, click in the url box, then ctrl + v buttons got the image onto my post. Simple.
The new laptop doesn't offer this 'copy image link' option, just 'copy image' or 'copy image address', neither of which work. The best we've managed is an image link on my post, as you can see.
I might just take this back to the shop and get the tech guy to help me. And if he can't or won't, I'll just batter him round the head with it until someone more knowledgeable shows up.
I've no idea Barry. But the singer (Lady Blackbird) is pretty good, sort of modern and retro at the same time. Two or three of her songs have made the charts, but don't let that put you off. I'd try to link to a video of one of her songs for you, but my head has fallen off thanks to this new crappy lappy. I'm thinking I should have sent my old laptop to be cleaned up/refurbished. I know where I am with that one.Quote:

A box with a tree above? Sorry Grant, I don't know what that is. Oh hang on, yes I do. We've tried that, to no avail.Quote:

Here you go Barry, Lady Blackbird. Assuming I've done this right.
Edit: I've just watched this video myself. Don't let that performance put you off, there are better videos linked to that one.
The Cure, perfect music for when bunking off work :) I might put some on after this has finishedQuote:

Got that Alice Cooper on vinyl, original one with all the bits inside, although some of them have gone missing over the years I think.Quote:

Billion Dollar Babies on vinyl? That's a nice thing to have. I bought it when it first came out, 1973 I think. My favourite AC album used to be Love it to Death, then last month I managed to get it on vinyl as well as Billion Dollar Babies on CD. Turns out that's my favourite these days, I seem to have grown into it.Quote:

Anyway I'm stalking your music choices, with this one now:

So my three choices for this morning couldn't be more different !
We start with the debut soundtrack album from this British singer-songwriter, guitarist and composer. Oh and also one of the best live performers I have had the great pleasure to see on a number of occasions throughout his career.
The album received a BAFTA award nomination but probably more importantly to the composer the track "Going Home" is played before every home game of Newcastle United !https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...651be1e9ad.jpg

Next up another legendary singer-songwriter and his 1982 debut solo album.
The Nightfly is one of the earliest examples of fully digital recording in popular music and the efforts Fagen and his team went to to get the quality right were extraordinary !
Problems with the technology, (The Nightfly was recorded using 3M's 32-track and four-track recorders), persisted throughout the recording, particularly regarding the alignment of the 3M machines. Representatives from 3M had to be called frequently to align the machines, eventually Fagen and Nichols grew tired of this. Nichols and engineers Jerry Garsszva and Wayne Yurgelun took classes at 3M's Minnesota headquarters and returned knowing how to align the machines themselves. "I was ready to transfer to analogue and give it up on several occasions, but my engineering staff kept talking me into it," recalls Fagen.
Many of the musicians on The Nightfly had also played on Steely Dan records, including Jeff Porcaro, Rick Derringer and Larry Carlton. Similar to the Aja and Gaucho albums, a large number of studio musicians were employed, with the liner notes crediting a total of 31 musicians !

So for my last choice we go to vinyl and this thier seventh studio album from 1980. Inspired by the air drum anthem listners choice this morning on Radio2's Owain Wyn Evans early morning show.
In June 1979, the band finished its eight month tour of the United States, Canada, and Europe in support of its sixth studio album, Hemispheres (1978). The tour had taken its toll on the group and for the first time in the band's history, each member agreed to take a six week break before starting work on a new album. They regrouped in mid-July 1979 at Lakewoods Farm near Flesherton, Ontario to write and rehearse new material for two weeks.
With some material prepared for Permanent Waves, Rush moved into Sound Kitchen Studio in northern Toronto, Ontario with their producer Terry Brown to put their ideas onto tape. "The Spirit of Radio," "Freewill" and "Jacob's Ladder" were further polished on the warm-up tour during soundchecks and by early September, "The Spirit of Radio" and "Freewill" were being performed live on the band's warm-up tour in August and September 1979.
In September 1979, Rush headed to Le-Studio in Morin-Heights, Quebec to record Permanent Waves with Brown and engineer Paul Northfield. Having recorded their previous two studio albums in Wales the band felt it was time for a change and initially chose Trident Studios in London, but cancelled due to the high costs of studio time and accommodation.
The new material showed a shift in the group's sound towards more concise arrangements and radio-friendly songs (such as "The Spirit of Radio" and "Freewill"), though their progressive rock blueprint is still evident on "Jacob's Ladder" and the nine-minute closer "Natural Science." Bassist/vocalist Geddy Lee also employed a more restrained vocal delivery compared to previous albums.

Before 10cc, Gouldman worked as a freelance songwriter and penned many hits for major rock and pop groups, including the Yardbirds, the Hollies, Herman's Hermits and Ohio Express.Quote:

Around this time, they shortened their name to "Massive" reportedly to avoid controversy relating to the Gulf war. The cover says Massive Attack, but the label "Massive" :scratch:
