Mon 18 July 2005 - Gaslight

Posted in Melbourne, Music — Daniel @ 10:11pm

A couple of weeks ago we were having dinner on a Saturday night in Bourke Street.

Something was wrong, and we remarked as such: it was about 7pm and Gaslight Music wasn’t open.

For years, Gaslight has been a haven in the eastern end of the city, particularly when waiting to meet someone on a cold winter’s night. It was always open late. But on this night it wasn’t.

Well, I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but it turns out Gaslight is no more.

I suggest as a mark of respect, we all reach for our music collections, find that rare, out-of-print or otherwise hard-to-find CD/LP that you found that time in Gaslight, and give it a spin.

Mon 18 July 2005 - Reloading the pod

Posted in Music — Daniel @ 6:59am

After living for some time with my iPod only holding a dozen or so of my favourite CDs (plus that great Billy Bragg paid concert download), I’ve finally embarked on loading everything up, in alphabetical order. So far I’m up to B. Thus my iPod currently has an inordinate amount of Area 7, Bragg and Beatles, and rather less Yothu Yindi or ZZ Top. (Actually I own none of the latter.)
