Jeg omtaler gerne musik og andre kulturgoder, f.eks. bøger og film i min blog. Hvis du/I er interesseret i at få en udgivelse omtalt, så kontakt mig via min emailadresse
(capac_SNABELA_capac.dk).
Forudsætningen for omtale er, at musikken sendes i form af en ORIGINAL cd eller – meget gerne! – vinyl, da det jo er tidens medie.
OBS. Digitale filer – fx. mp3 og musikvideoer – promotionudgaver af CD’er (for promotion only-cd’er) og hjemmebrændte CD’er med digitale filer bliver ikke omtalt.
Tilsvarende gælder det, at e- og lydbøger ikke omtales, kun gammeldags tryksager.
Når jeg har omtalt musik eller andet sender jeg altid et link til omtale til kontaktpersonen.
Jeg forsøger at omtale de fremsendte medier, så hurtigt det lader sig gøre og gerne i forbindelse med udgivelsestidspunktet. Men det kan ikke altid lade sig gøre, så bær over med capac, hvis der kommer forsinkelser – linket skal nok komme. Det kan sikkert også forekomme, at jeg helt glemmer at omtale en plade.
Desværre.
SOM LÆSERNE HAR BEMÆRKET, SÅ HAR JEG ISÆR OMTALT (ANBEFALET) MUSIK. MEN JEG VIL GERNE OMTALE ANDET, FX. DIGTSAMLINGER, BØGER OM MUSIK, GOD LITTERATUR OG BIOGRAFFILM . SÅ HVIS DU/I ER INTERESSERET, SÅ SKRIV PÅ OMTALTE EMAILADRESSE.
And in english:
I do recommend music, books, films etc. in my weblog. If you want me to recommend a record, book etc. please contact me here:
mr.capac_et_gmail.com
My condition is, that the music must be available
as an original CD og vinyl record.
Digital files (mp3 etc.) and musicvideoes, for-promotion-only-CD’s, and homemade CDs will not be reviewed by me.
The same goes for e- and audiobooks. Only printed books will do.
When I recommend a record, I will send a link to my recommandation to my contact person.
I try to write about the stuff, I receive as fast as possible. But sometimes it takes some time – but the recommandation will come and so will the link. Please be patient.
As the reader of my blog will see, I have first of all written about music, but I would like to write about other stuff such as poetry, books on music, literature and
movies. So if you are interested, please let me know.
@mb: Så er han vist fulgt til dørs med manér.
Fra Steve Feigenbaum – http://cuneiformrecords.com/
HUGH HOPPER, the bassist and composer who first made his mark in creative music as a member of Soft Machine during their most ground-breaking period from 1969-1973, died on June 7. He had been suffering from leukemia for some time. In addition to his considerable musical talents both as a performer and a composer, he was a terrific person that I am proud to say I had many opportunities to work with. He was very friendly, very approachable and tremendously funny in his dry way. He bore the weight of ‘the soft machine legacy’ with a lot of grace and charm and humor and he always found time for a friendly talk with fans and admirers. He had the rare gift of having an immediately identifiable sound as a composer and as a musician – within a couple of musical bars, you could tell it was Hugh Hopper playing or someone trying to imitate him. He was one of my original musical heroes when I first discovered ‘progressive’ music in my early teens, and a fair chunk of the Cuneiform catalog is associated with him and his work. All of us here at Cuneiform can not begin to express our pleasure and gratitude at having had the opportunity to be able to have worked with him for so long or our sadness at his passing.
