Gramophone's new 'specialist chart'

[Mahlerei]

I would have thought Gramophone was Spain (ie. on the verge of extinction).

[Flosshilde]

If Gramophone is Spain, who's Greece?

(VodkaDilc, I didn't understand all that football stuff either)

I've never heard of Mr Jameson, so you've got me scurrying to the latest IRR to do some late-night reading. However, since he seems to be reviewing Vivaldi and Ernst (who?), I'll probably be asleep before I've finished. Look on the bright side: the last duff reviewer they had only lasted about three editions. I wrote in complaint and I bet others did too. The IRR reviewers who contribute here know the full story, but lips appear to be sealed!

If it is the same Mr Jameson which I assume it is ( if not apologies to him ) - he used to write for BBC Music Magazine and i found myself disagreeing with just about every review.

and i found myself disagreeing with just about every review.

why buy and play his recommendations then?

[french frank]

why buy and play his recommendations then?

I expect he buys the ones that get a bad crit and leaves the ones the reviewer praises - and finds it works . Or, of course, he may buy his new CDs entirely independently of the said reviewer ...

I think this could be a sporting analogy - but it's completely lost on mere musicians like me. Is it a compliment?

For the unaware, Spain are the reigning European and World Champions.

At what? Tiddlywinks? Synchronised simultaneous translations? Gurning?

[Osborn]

...and the unaware are philistines

[Panjandrum]

No. New Zealand are the world champions and England are the european champions.

[PJPJ]

No. New Zealand are the world champions and England are the european champions.

Does that apply to gurning as well?

e.g.

[Parry1912]

No. New Zealand are the world champions and England are the european champions.

In what sport? You can't mean Rugby Union as there isn't a European Championship! Yet.

What an unnecessarily rude post.

Keep it up, Panyan

Much as I hate to quote myself . . .

to use a footballing analogy

Perhaps I should have said . . .
