Paul McCartney - Hollywood Bowl - March 31, 2010
Back at the Hollywood Bowl
Paul McCartney has been coming to Upstate New York in recent years, and I've gone each time in Albany, Buffalo, and close to home in Syracuse.  The next logical step is Rochester.  Downtown has Blue Cross Arena, where I saw Fleetwood Mac over a decade ago.  He'd close the place as he does everywhere he goes.  Two of his former drummers, Joe English (Wings 1975-77) and Steve Gadd (1982-83 albums) are from the area.  This year, there are no Northeast dates so far, even the tri-state, where I've gone twice, or even Canada, where I went across the lake from Rochester in Toronto.  For open air, there's Six Flags Darien Lake in Corfu (back under that franchise, yet considered part of the Buffalo area) and CMAC in Canandaigua (which is thought of more as an exurb of Kodak country), even though these are small towns and that kind of traffic may be too much for them.  Rochester is easier for me to get to for a show, but I only spent the night once when Asia were in town (one of only two times I saw them outside CNY).  Maybe next year, Maverick Management (Madonnas old company) could have the booking agency look into Monroe County.  I may have to go on my own again as one I used to go with had their fill in Albany of gigs and others have more important things going on right now to come with me.  Just hope I can afford it and can avoid touts after tickets sell out which one expects from this beautiful man that I've grown up with.

Warner Records

Not your parents' Warners!
After going the way of Glastonbury this past year, I'm back.
Warner Bros Records are no more, being reborn as just Warner Records. This was a surprise, although their licence from former sister company Warner Bros. ran out, a decade and a half after Warner Music Group spun off of Time Warner (since sold to AT&T), which was orchestrated by Edgar Bronfman Jnr, who also did the same for Universals purchase of PolyGram in 1999, only for them to separate from their former parent studio.  I have tagged artists with a tag who have been on Warner or Reprise, at least in the US and Canada if not worldwide.
The label moved across town from Burbank to downtown LA propers arts district.
There have been mixed reactions to this, but I think this is a new beginning.  I'm looking forward to seeing new releases on the new label, although Duran Duran and Liam Gallagher are the only ones I know so far confirmed to have one, and Fleetwood Mac have considered one with their newest lineup.   For back releases, I still have both (Duran mostly on sister label Parlophone) as well as a-ha, Black Sabbath and Depeche Mode (North America), Alanis Morissette, and related artists to get, mainly on LP.  For anything that has yet to be reissued, it could have the old logo on it to make it look accurate.  The Smiths were reissued on it as wea was retired as a label after the sale.
With all that's going on in the world these days, this is a mere change in strategy and we should embrace this.  Several catalogue releases have already been reissued with the new label.
