On this Day January 16, 2009

Boy George was sentenced to 15 months in prison after being convicted of falsely imprisoning a male escort. The Culture Club frontman denied the charge at Snaresbrook crown court and claimed the victim, Norwegian Audun Carlsen, 29, had stolen photos from his laptop. The singer told police he invited Carlsen back to his home after a cocaine-fuelled pornographic photo shoot in January, 2007, because he suspected the Norwegian of stealing pictures from his computer.
He admitted handcuffing Carlsen to a wall in April 2007 but said he did so in order to trace the missing property.

Diognes_The_Fox The Discogs Top 50 Best Selling Records Of November 2018

I tried to make a post that was just a wall of potato but I’m being censored and have to write something real. I will work tirelessly to ensure proper potato posting, peeps. I shall fight tirelessly night and day to make content that truly reaches the potato respecting audiences at the core of my very being. Unlike most of the RSD Black Friday exclusive reissues that grace this list, potatoes are edible. Although the Weezer Africa shaped picture disc is vaguely potato-shaped, it is not a potato and therefore inferior to the real bonafide thing. While sales of vinyl records and potatoes do increase during the holiday season, IMO, “Now That’s What I Call Christmas” is far less useful throughout the year.

Amongst these major label reissues and novelties are a few gems that are truly not small potatoes. The new releases by Rosalía, Citizen Kane, and Daughters look pretty decent. Until next month, check these out and let us know what you think!

jfl A New Home For Amsterdam’s Concertgebouw Orchestra

Previously, when the musicians of “The World’s Best Orchestra” – a.k.a. Amsterdam’s Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra – wanted to practice outside the scheduled orchestral rehearsals at the actual Concertgebouw (Amsterdam’s famous shoe-box 1888 concert hall), they had to find their own place to do it; often renting space nearby.

That’ll come to an end on January 19th when the orchestra will

jfl On ClassicsToday: Loving Langgaard, Chamber Music Edition

Loving Langgaard: Chamber Music EditionReview by: Jens F. LaursonArtistic Quality: ?Sound Quality: ?If you draw a squiggly line between Brahms, Sibelius, and Einojuhani Rautavaara and put down your palm flat in the middle, you’ll have arrived, more or less, at Rued Langgaard’s idiom–or slightly north of it. If that eschews a concrete definition, well, so does the composer: Langgaard (1893-1952)
