Flatshare Deposit Question?

Author: admin  //  Category: sound recording london

Hi, I am moving into a Flatshare in London next week, and the current housemates have said I need to pay a deposit (£470) into the account of the person moving out. And then pay my first months rent when I move in.

Is this normally how it works, paying a deposit into somebodys account with no record sounds dodgy to me.

Just don't pay anything until you've received your contract which states what you've already paid and what remains to be paid, and ask for a receipt too. If all is above board there should be no problem with them providing these things – they're your basic rights as a tenant.

I recieved a portable record player from my grandmother about 30 years ago. It is an emersom it from england?

Author: admin  //  Category: sound recording london

it plays 45,33,78 onc-batteries. the case is made of brass and what i believe to be onyx .It is about ten inches long by four inches wide and you open it up to place the record on it's playing disk and you close the lid with the arm resting beside the lid and it stands on three tripod legs with the speaker on the bottom.It is an emerson from London England. Oh one more thing it runs on four c-batteries sounds great need to know the year,and it's value

You can go under a search engine and look up the record player. if its old enough and its still in working condition i could be worth a pretty penny but im not sure. try the emersom website or do a search for price value of the record player or better yet try lookign up on antique websites just in case

Great piece, had fun finding this out. Cheers!

L.A.X.-Preview & Review…Are you gonna buy it?

Author: admin  //  Category: sound recording london

had tp make a form of a q…but… from this sample review it sounds pretty nice…and track 9 sounds ILL!!!!

Yo Radio had a chance to go to Universal Records London office to hear The Game’s highly anticipated third studio album L.A.X.. I know it's just one persons opinion, and I know we haven't heard it yet, but after reading this I really think this album is gonna be crazy! Here is the review…

Below are my notes on each track. Please note this is not the final track list order.

1. L.A.X.

Produced by JR Rotem

Big intro, he spits some BARS on this track talks about being gangster, very west coast bouncy production!

2. State Of Emergency feat. Ice Cube

Produced by JR Rotem

Crazy beat again, very west coast, another big tune, the only thing I could have asked more for was a verse from Ice Cube – he was only on the chorus ‘California ain‘t a state it‘s an army‘(they didn’t play the whole track so he might have a verse at the end hopefully). Game has stepped his lyrics up even more so far on this album.

3. Dope Boys

Produced by 15 or Nothin’

I’m not gonna lie when I first heard this track I wasn’t impressed, but I think I must have gone mad cos this track is a BANGER! Most people would have heard this track already it’s got a very rocky feel with Travis Barker on the drums.

4. House Of Pain

Produced by DJ Toomp

This was one of the standouts for me, guitar rocky beat again. Game has definitely stepped up lyrically on this album. Another bouncy track with a load of quotables. Dj Toomp done his job with the beat!

5. Heaven

Produced by Jelly Roll

Another standout this track is serious, Game does some singing on the chorus. This could be a single for me a more introspective track than what’s been heard so far.

6. My Life feat. Lil Wayne

Produced by Cool & Dre

This is the next single, another introspective track. Talks about The Game’s struggles in his life. Very serious. Lil Wayne’s singing on the hook ‘Dear lord you took so many of my people but why havn’t you taken my life’. Beats serious as well very dark piano beat

7. Bullet Proof Diaries feat. Raekwon

Produced by Jell Roll

Very funky westcoast beat. Another standout. Raekwon does his thing on this. The chorus reminds me of the Ruff Ryders ’World War 3’ track – ‘Where you from, New York’…………BIG TUNE

8. Cali Sunshine

Produce by Nottz

This track is ok, I think I might have to hear it again. The Game`s talking about 50 getting robbed, Suge Knight getting punched up. For me Nottz is a serious producer but I wasn’t really feeling this track it might be a grower though.

9. Never Say Goodbye

Produced EP

Another highlight. At the start Biggie’s talking about his shock of hearing Eazy E death. Then it cut’s to the radio talking about the death of Biggie and Tupac. First verse The Game raps with Tupac’s flow and second verse he spits like Biggie, he SMASHES it! They faded out the track after the second chorus so I’m not sure if he does another verse.

10. Ye Heard feat. Ludacris

Produced by Nottz

This track is SERIOUS! The beat is stupid, probably the best beat on the album for me. Very Funky bouncy beat. The Game does his thing lyrically, he talks about being looked over and being too gangster to win a grammy but Ludacris SMASHES IT, one of the verses of the year for me, too many quotable ‘So many flags I thought I was in Russia…….’

11. Gentlemans’ Affair feat. Ne-Yo

Produced by JR Rotem

To be honest I thought this was the weakest track for me, it’s got a mellowy summery vibe. It’ll probably do well on radio but I wasn’t really feeling it compared to the tracks I heard before.

12. Angel feat Common

Produced by Kanye West

When I saw the line-up for this I thought this track would be SERIOUS but at first it didn’t grab me, the beat didn’t sound like a Kanye West beat at all, it followed the west coast bouncy production of the rest of the tracks. Common and The Game done their thing lyrically and I think it was john Legend on the chorus. Everyone else in the room was feeling this track though to be fair, it’ll probably grow on me(still a big tune though I was just expecting a classic)

13. Camera Phone feat. Ne-Yo

Produced by Cool & Dre

This sounds like it could definitely be a single, I could imagine this being huge, double time beat.

14. Money

Produced by Cool & Dre

This one is definitely for the streets, similar vibe to Rick Ross ‘Push It’, talks about money. This will be BIG another highlight! I could imagine rappers freestyling over this beat on mixtapes for years!

15. Breaking Rules feat. Busta Rhymes

Produced by Scott Storch

Minimalist beat, everyone in the room was feeling this track. Got a similar vibe to ‘Put Your Hands Where My Eyes Can See’. Good track

16. Letter To The King feat. Nas

Produced by Hi-Tek

One of my favourite tracks. The track is an ode to Martin Luther King and the civil rights movement. Very introspective, they both talk about when they were younger overlooking the struggle but now realising the power. The beat is crazy, Hi Tek does his job. Nas and The Game make great tracks together, they both have featured on each others current and previous albums and each track for me has been a standout!

Pain – they didn’t play Pain because everyone’s heard it all ready

Big Dreams – The people at Universal said this maybe a bonus track their not sure at the moment
collabs w/ Luda and Nas should be nice
August 26th…i'm pretty sure

and it's not mine..the paragraph at the very beginning states who it is….i haven't heard anything yet besides games pain

The 3 tracks I was most looking forward to you gave quite good reviews. Well apart from 'Angel', I really wanted big things for that because of Common, but if the beat isn't good, that's a shame.

The other two – 'State of Emergency' is really bugging me now, I really want to hear that… and the most anticipated song 'Letter to the King' got the review I wanted to hear… wasn't Talib Kweli meant to be on this track?

Which actor read Wordsworth's London poem? Christopher Plummer?

Author: admin  //  Category: sound recording london

I have a recording of a compilation of English poems read by famous actors but have been unable to find the original. The compilation includes Alec Guinness reading "Journey of the Magi" by TS Eliot, Richard Briers reading Kipling's "If" and some other superb stuff. Does anyone know who reads Wordsworth's "Composed upon Westminister Bridge", and Coleridge's "Xanadu"? What a tone! I have recently watched "The Sound of Music" and I have a feeling it's Christopher Plummer. I would also like to know who read the outstandingly intense, but old, recording of "Ode to a Nightingale"…
Haha! Just goes to show that very specific questions don't get a lot of random answers!

Yes, it's Christopher Plummer, and the actual title of the Coleridge poem is "Kubla Khan."

Any Good Colleges In London?

Author: admin  //  Category: sound recording london

I want to go to college in London. My husband already has a job he can get so I'm finacially stable to pay anything. I want to major in music [and maybe business, I want to have my own record label] so what colleges in London sound fit to me?

If you mean University, then University College London or King's College London are the best universities in London, for humanities at least (Imperial College London teaches only science based degrees).

How is my accent? (recording)?

Author: admin  //  Category: sound recording london

I have been working on a London accent for a few years now, and I have been posting recordings on here to try to get tips on how to make it more authentic. I posted a recording yesterday, and I have worked on the things you told me to, so here is another recording. I am sorry if I am getting annoying, but I am just looking for help. The first link is to the one I posted yesterday, and the second is to the one I recorded to day. If you could, please tell me if it now sounds better or worse, and why? I think it sounds a bit too posh now, what do you think? Any tips are appreciated!

Help me out, how do I make it less posh?
Will it ever be PERFECT? How? Do you think I will ever be able to convince a true Brit?
I don't like posh, it makes me sound stuck up, which I am NOT!

ok i'll be honest with you.. =]
-the first recording you did, there wer waaay too many dialects..like i wud say manchester accent overall but with a sorta australian thing as well..cz the tone kept going up and down..in the way they speak..
-also..i think you should try and relax a bit more cz at times it sounded like you were in pain or were thinking too hard..maybe if you wrote down what you were going to say, then read from it, that might help, so you wouldnt sound so lost for words.
the 2nd recording is so much better..although for tips:
-you pronounce the 'a' sound very differently..you seem to sqeeze the 'a' sound in your throat, so next time try and relax the 'a' and make it shorter, sharper rather than so elongated.
-ooh, please avoid the cockney accent, you sometimes pick it up..ie-'elp instead of Help..lol..
keep practicing, your really good but a few improvements will make it fabulous!

You could get away with a generic British accent to an extent , I think people would probably think there was something wrong but not be able to put their finger on it . London and the surrounding area has several different accents and the only way you'll ever really get any off them would be to live here for a while . Try youtube for clips of Eastenders , cockney is harsh but also melodic and alot of it is in the context of what you are saying . Good luck .
