The same week, Blondie's seminal album Parallel Lines reached #1 on the Album Chart while Costello's Armed Forces landed at #3.

  • Elvis Costello Began Writing Songs at the Age of Thirteen. 2017 Marked the 40Th Anniversary of the Release of His First Record Album, My Aim Is True
    Elvis Costello began writing songs at the age of thirteen. 2017 marked the 40th anniversary of the release of his first record album, My Aim Is True. He is perhaps best known for the songs, “Alison”, “Pump It Up”, “Everyday I Write The Book” and his rendition of the Nick Lowe song, “(What’s So Funny ‘Bout) Peace Love and Understanding”. His record catalogue of more than thirty albums includes the contrasting pop and rock & roll albums: This Year’s Model, Armed Forces, Imperial Bedroom, Blood and Chocolate and King Of America along with an album of country covers, Almost Blue and two collections of orchestrally accompanied piano ballads, Painted From Memory - with Burt Bacharach and North. He has performed worldwide with his bands, The Attractions, His Confederates - which featured two members of Elvis Presley’s “T.C.B” band - and his current group, The Imposters – Steve Nieve, Pete Thomas and Davey Faragher - as well as solo concerts, most recently his acclaimed solo show, “Detour”. Costello has entered into songwriting collaborations with Paul McCartney, Burt Bacharach, the Brodsky Quartet and with Allen Toussaint for the album The River In Reverse, the first major label recording project to visit New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina and completed there while the city was still under curfew. In 2003, Costello acted as lyrical editor of six songs written with his wife, the jazz pianist and singer Diana Krall for her album, The Girl In The Other Room. He has written lyrics for compositions by Charles Mingus, Billy Strayhorn and Oscar Peterson and musical settings for words by W.B.

  • WEEKEND SUGGESTIONS Week 3
    INTERNATIONAL NETWORK OF NORWAY Oslo Chamber of Commerce WEEKEND SUGGESTIONS Week 3 HI EVERYBODY! Fast-paced fun in the snow! When the city is covered with snow and the sun is shining, what can be better than going sledding? Here is a list of some sledding areas in Oslo, so that you easily find your way: • Akebanen, Midtstulia The sledding Association in Oslo has at its disposal a natural ice course located by the old ski jump at Midtstuen, in addition to Korektrekkeren. Midtstulia meets the demands of an international competition course. • Unnarennet, Holmenkollbakken Is it legal, still? Has it ever been there? Unnarennet was used with great delight in the old days: great fun and very, very steep! • Korketrekkeren Korketrekkeren or Korken, as it is called, reigns over all the other sledding courses. Take the metro to Frognerseteren and sled down to Midstuen. From here, take the metro up again and repeat until you can’t any more! Photo: pixabay.com Other sledding locations in Oslo: Tøyenparken (below Tøyenbadet / above the Munch Museum): Steep and fun course. St.Hanshaugen: From Tårnbassenget down it is very steep, and there is often some running water suitable for sledding when it is icy. You may either sled right on your bottom, or with a black plastic bag. You may also sled on the way down to the lake with a steering sled. Uranienborgparken: Short hill suitable for younger children. Torshovdalen Ola Narr, Carl Berners Plass:Nice sledding course for the whole family. Vellabakken, Kjelsås: Small sledding course with stairs for the little ones by Grefsen Terrassehus.

  • Here Are Things I Needed to Say.” the Album Was Released in the U.S
    BURT BACHARACH Biography Six decades into one of songwriting’s most successful and honored careers – marked by 48 Top 10 hits, nine #1 songs, more than 500 compositions and a landmark 49-year run on the charts, Burt Bacharach’s music continues to set industry records and creative standards. “At This Time,” his 2005 album, which won the Grammy for Best Pop Instrumental Album, breaks new ground with Bacharach’s first-ever lyrical collaborations, supplementing the melodies which reflect the pioneering Bacharach sound. He says it is the “most-passionate album” of his career as “At This Time” marks the first time Bacharach takes on social and political issues in his music. Bacharach’s global audiences span several generations, and he is viewed as the unique combination of one of the greatest composers of all time and the ultra-cool cult hero of the contemporary music set who often has several songs on various music charts in many countries simultaneously. His many concerts are SRO, as he tours the United States and the world conducting orchestras and with his own musicians and singers performing his music. Along with Bob Dylan, John Lennon and Paul McCartney and Paul Simon, Bacharach is a legend of popular music. A recipient of three Academy Awards and seven Grammy Awards (including the 1997 Trustees Award with collaborator Hal David), he revolutionized the music of the 1950s and 60s and is regularly bracketed with legendary names, ranging from Cole Porter, to Sir George Martin, as one of a handful of visionaries who pioneered new forms of music from the second half of the 20th Century and into the 21st Century.

The early 1990s marked a dramatic change in the gender balance. Not only did many female singer-songwriters emerge, but their artistic achievements generally ranked higher than those of the men. The emergence of the female auteur was partly a consequence of the riot-grrrls movement and partly a sign of a changing social and psychological landscape. The ladies had their own styles (plural). First of all, at the turn of the decade, an eccentric figure of lo-fi psychedelic storytellers emerged out of New York's underground lofts. Multi-instrumentalist Azalia Snail (12) devoted her career to enigmatic and arcane reconstructions of the hippie era. Snailbait (? 1988/?1989 - ? 1989) featured a parade of folk-psychedelic vocal impersonations as well as erratic guitar playing with no rhythm section, and peaked with a 23- minute collage of singing, distorted tapes, found noises and assorted turbulence, So Much More To Go. Burnt Sienna (? ? - ? 1992) indulged in psychedelic effects, amid distorted vocals and dissonant music, leading to the chaotic Fumarole Rising (? 1993 - ? 1993), the culmination of her program of disintegration of the pop song.

Barr, Jr., Introduction by James Thrall Soby, Notes by Lucy R. Lippard Some twenty-five years ago in Chicago the late Samuel A. Marx and his wife Florene began to form what was to become, as James Thrall Soby states, "a collection of such authority that it would be difficult to think of its rival among pri vate collections of modern art." They were not avant-garde, for they confined themselves to the well-known painters of the School of Paris. Yet, as Alfred H. Barr, Jr. points out, "they were col lectors of courage ... shown in selecting what they felt to be best without regard for conven tional proprieties." They pioneered in being among the first to dare bring into their home paintings that to most collectors at the time would have seemed too big, too aggressive, and too strong to live with— Matisses of the heroic period of 1911 to 1916 culminating in The Mo roccans, Leger's Woman with Cat, an extraordi nary range of Picassos demonstrating many as pects of that protean master's style.

  • 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.
