pee ess: how did you find the selector??? (i.e. me).

Jess, to be honest I can’t exactly remember..it would have been a musical connection for definate and possibly an Alton Ellis one? the selector is an inspiring piece of work so I’ll have to put it down to what Jung called ‘Synchronicity’ with a side order of ‘Collective Unconscious’ of which, for me, music is the catalyst/trigger

listening rather than downloading…not that I am against it, (downloading), just haven’t found the right solution…I’m thinking of doing a musicologist archive podcast for downloading but the posting is keeping me busy..I’m happy to ‘put them up’ if requested

Your manifesto is well expressed. Many of us feel the same love for music. I get where you are coming from.
If “downloading” is one’s only concern then, may I respectfully say, that perhaps they ” just don’t quite get it”.
Keep up the good work sir.

thanks Sondan..
p.s as a result of the problems I had with the previous audio player the current one does allow the tune to be downloaded !!

I’m in a bit of a pickle and I hope you can help. I am looking for a song – any song – that sounds identical to the 1930’s Jimpson & Group “Murderer’s Home” as recorded by Alan Lomax. I am in the 11th hour. Like 11:59. Can you help? I know identical is not possible, but I wanted to stress the importance of the replacement song sounding similar to Murderer’s Home.

Rachel…I could help but would need more time…was that song featured in Gangs Of New York? If so then it’s a Prison Song…finally what’s it for?
rachel // February 4, 2009 at 7:01 pm |
I am thinking I probably now have til the end of the week to find a song. It was featured on the Gangs of New York soundtrack. Right now, others have offered up:
1. 1940 Blind Willie McTell
2. Negro Work Songs and Calls
3. Must Be Born Again or Oh Death Where is Thy Sting by Rev. J.M.Gates

ill give it some thought and let you know tomorrow
themusicologist // February 5, 2009 at 8:18 am |
Rachel,
Is it for an advert or film? it would help to know the context. I have ’supervised’ music for both and to know what it’s for makes all the difference.
let me know as I have a few ideas
