  • 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.

  • The Strokes at Flow Festival
    Free for publication February 6, 2020 11 EET The Strokes at Flow Festival The Strokes, one of the most important alternative rock bands of the 2000s, are coming to Finland for the first time. Other confirmed acts include rising hip hop artist 070 Shake as well as two of the most interesting domestic acts around right now, Jesse Markin and Maustetytöt. All ticket types are on sale now in Ticketmaster and Tiketti. Flow Festival’s latest booking are The Strokes from New York. They play in Europe infre- quently and finally, one of the most requested bands at Flow plays Finland, too. The Strokes hit it big with their debut album Is This It in 2001. British music magazine NME named it the best album of the decade and the fourth-best of all time. The band brought the 60s garage rock sound into the 21st century and had a major impact on the music of the millennium. Since then they’ve released a total of five successful studio albums. Their best-known songs include Last Nite and Reptilia. Also confirmed for Flow is 070 Shake, hailing out of New Jersey, whose eagerly awaited debut album dropped in January and put her in the well-deserved spotlight. 070 Shake first came to people’s attention when she was featured on Kanye West’s album ye, and she has also worked with Pusha T, Nas and DJ Khaled, among others. The wonderful Jesse Markin, who’s been making waves on both the Finnish and international indie scene, and Maustetytöt, whose debut album was one of the most acclaimed and original records last year, will also be appearing.

    A Year in the Life of Bottle the Curmudgeon What you are about to read is the book of the blog of the Facebook project I started when my dad died in 2019. It also happens to be many more things: a diary, a commentary on contemporaneous events, a series of stories, lectures, and diatribes on politics, religion, art, business, philosophy, and pop culture, all in the mostly daily publishing of 365 essays, ostensibly about an album, but really just what spewed from my brain while listening to an album. I finished the last essay on June 19, 2020 and began putting it into book from. The hyperlinked but typo rich version of these essays is available at: https://albumsforeternity.blogspot.com/ Thank you for reading, I hope you find it enjoyable, possibly even entertaining. bottleofbeef.com exists, why not give it a visit?

Unless you’re being a jerk. © Bottle of Beef 2020, all rights reserved. Welcome to my record collection. This is a book about my love of listening to albums. It started off as a nightly perusal of my dad's record collection (which sadly became mine) on my personal Facebook page. Over the ensuing months it became quite an enjoyable process of simply ranting about what I think is a real art form, the album. It exists in three forms: nightly posts on Facebook, a chronologically maintained blog that is still ongoing (though less frequent), and now this book.
