There is more than one Trevor Fisher on this here website. The other Trevor Fisher is the real deal, 20 years plus as a writer (Chrysalis Music) and a recording artist (Warner Brothers) all the way to being an artist manager, producer and studio owner. This is his first op ed piece for us and he’s not a happy camper about the current state the industry he loves so much, youngsters ‘listen up’ it’s a call to arms.

Now we buy or steal our music like we buy or steal our pornography, sat at a desk, alone, and it will be so on March the 11th when David Bowie’s first new album in a decade will be released. I will sit waiting for it to appear for sale and then within a few clicks, I will own it and it won’t feel like I bought it or anything really.

Snarky Puppy – Solid grooves, great hooks and stunning improvisation will tingle the tits and testicles of most actual musicians, from the tight as a gnats chuff (official musical term) rhythm section laying it down like they mean it

‘Hold on’ official video from Alabama Shakes, they’re any good and have been nominated for three Grammys 2013, best new artist, best rock performance for “Hold On” and best recording package with their first album, Boys & Girls.

This could be the funniest radio documentary ever made. It’s about how Andrew McGibbon ended up drumming on Morrisey’s ‘Viva Hate’ album instead of going on tour with novelty song act The Baron Nights? This is a great laugh out loud story & gives a wonderful insight into Morrisey…
