QOTSA – Rated RX
By Ash in Musical Murmurings
This is not a review. This is a memory.
I was 25 and living in Birmingham. Billy called me up and said, “Ash. We’ve got a spare ticket for the Academy tonight. Queens Of The Stone Age are playing.”
I’d no idea who they were, but Billy was a good friend of mine, and this was a free night out. When you’re an aspiring, failing musician in Birmingham – this is no bad offer.

The classics
By Ash in Musical Murmurings
I don’t profess to being an expert in anything. A few weeks ago, I was listening to (forensic psychotherapist) Dr Gwen Adshead’s Desert Island Discs. One of the tracks chosen was Mozart’s ‘Lacrimosa’ from Requiem.
What I hadn’t realised was that Mozart had died part way through Requiem and, as such, only the first eight bars of The Lacrimosa had been written by Mozart’s 35-year-old hand. It’s widely argued that Franz Xaver Süssmayr completed the work.

By Ash in Musical MurmuringsRichard Skelton – Marking Time by _type
The more I listen to Richard Skelton, the deeper I find myself attracted to his output.
