From the Grave

Last week's effort is still rumbling on a bit - love it when that happens, that's what I do this for.

So this week, we're still on music.
Back in July 2008, this thread was started by Andy (Sand Dancing Donkey Walker).

It was:
Thread number 853
Confession Time - First Live Gig & First Record Bought

http://theartofsound.net/forum/showthread.php?t=853


I notice that I didn't reply to this one for some reason. I'd swear that I did! We'll soon put that right. But you go first...........

To hell with it - It's about music again this week, folks!

A double header as it's a Bank Holiday weekend.

For the Main Course:
In July of last year, Jeremy Marchant gave us thread number 3359
Songs with orchestra worth exploring
http://theartofsound.net/forum/showthread.php?t=3359

I actually don't really like this type of music too much - I prefer my orchestral music to be without singers, but it's always interesting to explore & your tastes will almost certainly be different to mine. Spotify will let you hear a lot of this stuff if you'd like to give some of it a try.

For the Pudding:
Jeremy gave us thread number 3373 - also in July. This was a great sampler for classical music & Jeremy explained a good way of easing yourself into things while also providing some background information.

Classical music for people that (think they) don't like classical music

I don't know if anyone got the benefit of Jeremy's scribblings from last week's offering as I don't think anyone had anything more to offer. Let's just hope that it may have inspired someone to listento something new.

So, this week I'll keep it simple.
We're away from music.

I did create a post but lost it, and need to be at home to reference my collection. I'll try again later.

Dredging up things of interest from the archives is what this thread is about and here's a discussion that I find very interesting but frustratingly short of any real conclusion.

It was thread number 431 from April 2008.
Alex D came across a reference on the web to an interesting new loudspeaker design. The designer joined and entered the discussion. Soon afterwards the trail went cold. So I wonder what happened to the idea - does anyone know?

Here it is:
Is this for real???

Well, last week's effort may well prove to be an interesting story - we'll see.

For you delight & delectation this week, I've got something that has a relevance to some more recent discussions which have taken place.

This one was thread number 1382 and it came from doodoos (interesting choice of name there!) who we never really got to know particularly well, not even ever knowing their real name. Anyway, the original post came in November 2008:

The Original Sound - Who Needs It?

This week I've decided to use 'From The Grave' to remind AoS members that we've got a library section and that contributions and suggestions are encouraged.

So, it would be fitting to remind folks of this thread, short and sweet, which was posted by Nick at the time of the launch.

How To Contribute to The Library
http://theartofsound.net/forum/showthread.php?t=3983

The call is still in place for you folks to make your own special contribution to the library.
Just remember, if you're not an AoS member you can't get in!!

I think people might be surprised at the stuff lurking the library, so please do have a nosey around, and if you've got any ideas or comments, meet us in the Library Café!

I didn't do this last week - the first time in almost a year - but there've been a few weeks when you've had twofers so I don't feel too bad about that.

Anyway this week you might like to read and contribute further to Howard Popeck's thread no. 927 from August 2008 - So Mr. (or Ms.) ‘Civilian, what would you prefer? Hmm? Go on, tell me.

It's on a topic that's been getting a bit of a battering recently.
