Work 2
Work Title: Sonata for Piano No. 2, 'Funeral March' in B flat minor, Op. 35
Advantages: Haunting, passionate music to get lost in. Disadvantages: It's classical and this puts people off before they even try it.
...interrupt it - particularly something as mundane as housework.
Floon and I are obviously not alone in finding the quintet special. This music has aroused the passions of many and the notes say” Many musicians have spoken in awe of its spiritual Elysianism, including the pianist ArturRubinstein (who requested the slow movement be played at his funeral), the great nineteenth-century cellist Alfredo Piatti (who asked for it to be played during his dying hours to send him into the next world), and the renowned quartet leader John Saunders who had the opening seven bars of the first movement’s second subject inscribed on his tombstone above the following Shakespearian quotation (Sonnet XVIII):
So long as man can breathe, or eyes can see,
So long lives this, and this gives life to thee.
String Quintet in C Major, D956 (1828)

...Remember when Rod Stewart used to prance about in skin tight leopard-skin? Well thank goodness he ditched that image! 'Da ya think i'm sexy' is just one of 16 songs which make up this greatest hits album originally released in 1989. Other songs included are:-
Maggie may, you wear it well, sailing, the first cut is the deepest, every beat of my heart, downtown train, and what am i gonna do.
This is a great collection of his most successful hits with both lively numbers and slow numbers on the album making it one you would enjoy playing time and time again - i know i do. Rod Stewart has been on the scene now for many years and although not making a comeback in the way Tom Jones has, i think he is a very talented singer who has produced some great stuff during this time. Definitely one for the cd collection if you are a fan....

Advantages: A few damn good songs Disadvantages: A few damn uninteresting songs
...One of Golf Records’ newest compilations (now superceded by vol.5 which happily costs £1 less at Amazon), Another Round of Golf vol.4 follows in the same vein as previous releases. It contrasts well-known bands like Less Than Jake and Snuff with more recently established acts such as the ever improving Gash and female pop-punksters Tuuli. Altogether it forms a memorable record that matches Epitaph’s 'Punk-O-Rama' collection in enjoyment and fulfilment.
While its originally imaginative title' Another Round of Golf Volume 4' might perhaps call for a range of less-than-amusing Golf cracks, the album pretty much sells itself. Despite a couple of less imaginative tracks from the Mighty Mighty Bosstones and Snuff, the overall quality sets the tone for what Golf will produce next: it will doubtlessly shine also.
Hailing from Gainesville...
