  • Rock Album Discography Last Up-Date: September 27Th, 2021
    Rock Album Discography Last up-date: September 27th, 2021 Rock Album Discography “Music was my first love, and it will be my last” was the first line of the virteous song “Music” on the album “Rebel”, which was produced by Alan Parson, sung by John Miles, and released I n 1976. From my point of view, there is no other citation, which more properly expresses the emotional impact of music to human beings. People come and go, but music remains forever, since acoustic waves are not bound to matter like monuments, paintings, or sculptures. In contrast, music as sound in general is transmitted by matter vibrations and can be reproduced independent of space and time. In this way, music is able to connect humans from the earliest high cultures to people of our present societies all over the world. Music is indeed a universal language and likely not restricted to our planetary society. The importance of music to the human society is also underlined by the Voyager mission: Both Voyager spacecrafts, which were launched at August 20th and September 05th, 1977, are bound for the stars, now, after their visits to the outer planets of our solar system (mission status: https://voyager.jpl.nasa.gov/mission/status/). They carry a gold- plated copper phonograph record, which comprises 90 minutes of music selected from all cultures next to sounds, spoken messages, and images from our planet Earth. There is rather little hope that any extraterrestrial form of life will ever come along the Voyager spacecrafts. But if this is yet going to happen they are likely able to understand the sound of music from these records at least.

  • My Morning Jacket
    For Immediate Release 13 March 2017 Contact: Jodi Joseph Director of Communications 413.664.4481 x8113 [email protected] My Morning Jacket Critically acclaimed rockers in North Adams, Mass. on August 12 With Pennsylvania rockers The Districts NORTH ADAMS, MASSACHUSETTS — My Morning Jacket has built a reputation as a group who consistently challenges the paradigms in which they are placed. From psychedelic to soul to classic rock and roll, My Morning Jacket’s range remains steadfast throughout the band’s 16 years. The Louisville quintet released the first of 7 albums in 1999 with their last three, 2008’s Evil Urges, 2011’s Circuital, and 2015’s The Waterfall, each receiving Grammy nominations — the latter debuting at number 5 on the Billboard 200 chart. The Waterfall, recorded in northern California’s Stinson Beach, is steeped in the spirit of where it was crafted. The band features Jim James (singer/songwriter, guitar), Tom Blankenship (bass), Patrick Hallahan (drums), Carl Broemel (guitar, pedal steel, saxophone, vox), and Bo Koster (keyboards, vox). Known as one of the most engaging, eclectic, and electric bands, in no small part due to Jim James’ other-worldly vocals, they’ve become legendary for their live performances. Joined by Pennsylvania rock outfit The Districts, My Morning Jacket brings it to the North Adams stage on Saturday, August 12, at 7:30pm. Throughout its almost two-decade-long career, My Morning Jacket has always had a healthy respect for living in the moment and the inherent mysteries of creativity. After spending almost four years apart, the band reunited at the California coast to record The Waterfall, which touches on aspects of the band’s celebrated past while pushing forward with a giddy assurance.
