Adeste fideles

Are they a lot of artists out there for whom you are completly and honestly faithful.
Not that much, being honest i can easily count them .
For me Louis Philippe is one of those happy few. Part of the great él records adventure ( surely the best record label ever, a vision, a practice, fantasy and some more fantasy) he wrote fantastic songs, for his records but also for the others él artists (Anthony Adverse, the king of luxembourg).
What' s the music like "from pure bubblegum to symphonic sweep, with detours via jazz and soul along the way" tells his website. For me he is the one of true elegance. Ravel, Poulenc, Jobim, Wilson, does it sounds a bit pretentious, not at all my dears, his music is all that and obviously his own.
Tired of running from one record label to another one, to raise money for his records, our man decided to produce them by himself. By himself, not exactly, with a little help from his friendly listeners.
Are you keen on the idea being a benefactor of the art ? That is exactly what happened with his marvellous latest studio Lp "The wonder of it all", made possible to record thanks to his "fans" subscription, the man decided to continue to work this way. This time it is his double live Lp, that you can buy directly from his website, a new Lp subscription is on its way.
I don't feel like joking, or saying stupid things, Louis Philippe's music really deserve all your ears out there.

A good practice : For an eye, the all face. A good practice with Erasmos Carlos, The Blow, O.Lamm, Blossom Dearie, Astrud Gilberto and a lot more.

Audio advent calender

Mike (of Swankola.com) has put together a very sweet on-line audio advent calender (with highlights from the thrift store records he has found over the year). Roll the mouse around the calander to find the correct date.

Question about the blog

In Zwolle, Netherlands - on Splogman's computer (IE) - this blog looks like this.

(The sidebar is at the bottom of the page)

But in my browsers (IE and Firefox) it looks like this (and that is what it's supposed to look).

Anyone more having the same problem as Splogman?

Updated: According to the comments I received in this matter everything seems to be ok.
The problem is probably located very locally to Zwolle and Splogman's residence.

Popcorn

""Popcorn" is a famous early synthpop instrumental. Composer Gershon Kingsley (of Perrey and Kingsley) first recorded it for his 1969 album Music to Moog By.
Stan Free rerecorded the instrumental with his band Hot Butter in 1971, which became the first primarily electronic-based piece of music to reach the American popular music charts. The record was one of a rash of Moog synthesizer-based releases that characterized "synth-pop" of the 1960s and 1970s ..." [Quoted from Wikipedia entry]

Updated: wieL tells us about his (excellent!) blog Wiel's Time Capsule's posts with a few very nice versions. Like one by Klaus Wunderlich as part of a medley with Apache and Corn-Flakes.
And other one by James Last, and one cover by Gershon Kingsley himself, recorded on a Groovebox in 2000. Listen to these 3 tracks here.
There is also a vocal verion by Anarchic System to enjoy here.
