19/03/2011 The Loudness War

This video has been around for quite a while, but is a really straightforward explanation of what is wrong with so many modern cd’s - “wimpy loud sound” indeed.

25/02/2011 Not The Nine O’Clock News - Grammophone

I remember watching this at the time.  And I remember some of the arrogant ******s that this depicts.  Still a few of them in our industry today.

Not exactly what you would call the best visual or sound quality.  Who cares, it’s Carlos Kleiber conducting Beethoven’s fifth!

The rest of the movements are also on You Tube and so is Carlos Kleiber conducting Beethoven’s seventh and other items.

Nice explanation of “how to sound like Keith Richards”.  At about 6:20 into the video Marty “shows the point to his explanation”.  Interestingly Keith Richards is very specific both in his recent autobiography and in previous comments that he doesn’t just use a normal 6 six string guitar with open tuning but restricts himself to 5 strings, which in practice means a bespoke guitar, not just removing a string.  Nice hat, Marty.
