Music should sound better …

As much as I really hate tie ins with online music stores such as iTunes, releases such as a live Moby recording cant be simply ignored. So I may have to swallow my pride to check out ….

“extensive critically acclaimed US tour in Fall 2009, Moby recorded an intimate live performance at the Montreal iTunes store to a captivated audience. ‘Moby iTunes Live from Montreal’ becomes available around the world at iTunes …

For this special recording Moby performed tracks from his most recent album ‘Wait For Me,’ as well as some other classics from previous albums, with a rare ‘stripped back‘ set consisting of just guitar, piano, violin and vocals. Joining him for this incredible and unique performance were the very talented lead vocalists from his tour – Kelli Scarr and Inyang Bassey. “

Glorious Noise hve an article about trying to support real record stores here. Although I do want to agree with the direction of the article, I am lossing faith in the bricks & mortar stores because they only seem to want to flog mass market and not cater or encourage more diverse tastes.

Having said that when I was in San Franscisco recently, I had a little bit of time spare and came across Rasputin Records. This is how record shops should be, rough around the edges – with that feeling you’d get that Nick Hornby captured in High Fidelity. Four stories of this within a block of Union Square!
