Performing Jefferson Airplane - Jefferson Starship

what a bringdown

Advantages: some good songs, good jamming
Disadvantages: very poor sound quality

white rabbit is a collection from hippie rockers jefferson airplane. this album is mainly live recordings from around 1969. the album includes memorable airplane songs 'today', 'somebody to love', 'tobacco road' and 'you're my best friend'. there are 18 tracks in total and provides a pretty definitive example of the songs that the band were doing during that stage in the bands evolution. unfortunately, as the songs are recorded at live gigs the sound quality is poor. the vocals are at times hard to understand and the album hs been poorly mixed meaning sometimes the sound levels get too high and the quality is completely ruined. there are some good trcks and examples of how good jefferson airlne were live with songs such as 'high flying bird' and 'its no secret' being good examples. lyrically the album is ok, but is firmly set ...

Review of White Rabbit - Jefferson Airplane

Airplane

Advantages: Great jokes, funny
Disadvantages: None

This has to be one of the funniest movies ever made! I know it?s one of my favourites and I have to say that I generally don?t really like spoof movie. Usually everything about a spoof movie annoys me, it?s repetitive and predictable but the very things that put me off from these are actually the reason why I can?t help loving this movie. It?s the same with everyone I talk to too, this movie seems to have gained a bit of a cult status since it was released and has become a much talk about film. Airplane was released in 1980. It?s a spoof disaster movie of yes, you?ve guessed it, a plane crash/plane situation. Apparently, according to an article I read, in a major 2007 survey by Channel 4 in the United Kingdom, it was judged the second greatest comedy film of all time. It seems to have gained the same reception in the US as well ...

Review of Airplane! (DVD)

Westward ho

Advantages: Superb style, and a great, true story!
Disadvantages: Makes it all too clear how the US would treat the Indian tribes in later years

competition with the young republic on the eastern seaboard, as its population sought ever more land to the west of the Appalachians. In 1804, President Jefferson was still obsessed with the idea of finding an all-water route from east to west, a navigable waterway that would link the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans and open up the lucrative fur trade, to the benefit of his fledgling nation. It was against this backdrop that one of the most important and well-known expeditions in US history set out, with the express aim of finding a path to the Pacific. However, before reading this book, I had absolutely no idea who Lewis and Clark were. I had studied some American history at school, but we had only ever really taken a cursory glance at the opening of the American West. You know the stories that get told – Custer, the gold rush, the slaughter ...
