Austrian-born Arnold Pinzgauer (1880-1969) and Jerry Noriker (1883-1961), emigrated to Equestria in 1903. The two formed the Norigauer company in 1910 and, 10 years after that, invented the Canterphone phonograph, around which the subsequently formed Canterlot Record Company revolved. It offered numerous ragtime bands including, most notably, Alexander Argo's Ragtime Performers of Canterlot, who cut their first record (''Sweet Adeline'') in 1926. The Norigauer company was hit by the Great

Arista's open to the rest of 1976 was with one of its biggest coups: the signage of Lou Reed. Reed had earlier put out a string of successful albums for RCA . . . that is, until 1975, which saw the debut of Metal Machine Music, a critically savaged (and less than healthy) mixture of industrial music, noise rock, and contemporary sound art that RCA (according to some sources) returned to stores by the thousands after a few weeks. Though his next album, Coney Island

I know I'm not on a lot of people's good side at the moment. I know I've messed up.. a lot. I know that I'm not the best person in the world or as talented as I like to think I am. I also know that my life will move on. No matter how many people tell me I'm nothing, no matter how many people try to ruin my image or to see a problem and blow it out of porportion. Honestly... I don't think I like the idea of being such a vulnerable target to so many people. I've tried everything I could ever

In response to a little video posted on YouTube in March titled "What do famous people think about Zionist Jews?", which I obviously don't want to show you, I have taken the liberty to examine the various quotations made in the video, browsing Yahoo! and Wikipedia for sources. This is going to get interesting. Remember to mosey on along if you don't want to read it.

The story of Arista Records was, for much of its life, the continuing one of Clive Davis, who headed CBS Records fro 1967 to 1973.

Another (fairly) late gem I carried over to this post, this is a German Snickers "werbung" (read: advertisement) featuring The Queen of Soul herself, Aretha Franklin. Aretha sure sounds different in German, doesn't she?

I went to the Assistance League (where I haven't been since February 2015) after spending an hour in the Botanical Gardens. This is what I've acquired there; I will also show the LPs that I got off eBay for Chanukah so far.

EDIT: Forgot to put the video there!

Somewhat hidden in the year laden with scandal involving Milli Vanilli is the fact of another meeting involving Clive Davis: that which was made in Atlanta between him and the duo of Antonio "L.A." Reid & Kenneth "Babyface" Edmonds. The result, LaFace Records, had enough of a history that I will cover it sometime in the future (it helps that their releases didn't appear under Arista's normal numbering system).
