More NEW STUFF!
We've published two more slideshows. I know some of the images won't be new to everyone, especially to the longtime fans. But perhaps almost everyone will find greater context in how we've chosen to present them. We're trying to tell the story of the band in the studio most of all, so that's what most of our slideshows will focus on. But there is only so much content readily available, so we're going to slip in some others slideshows, too, mostly images that show the band in between the studio and their many gigs. They were fortunate to have a tight group of supporters around them in the early years to freeze many moments in time (including the more infamous moments, too.) Enjoy the slideshows here, and be sure to thank the wonderful photogs for all their priceless work. And many more photos are on the way... - Webmonkey OK, something very exciting to announce is the creation of a new forum dedicated to the band's activities in the studio:
The Who in the Studio Discussion Forum The forum is very basic and limited, due in no small part to the fact that this is a free forum. The idea is to then expand this out to a better forum but ONLY if there is enough activity and interest in it for me to justify to the good lady wife that I need to spend cash on this beast. A bit of decorum is required of everyone that contributes; I'm all for a bit of lively debate and argument, but it HAS to be constructive -- flamers and trolls will be blocked. To that end, obviously, any kind of discrimination, racism or general "badness" will see you blocked. We want this place to be fun and informative and open to anyone that would like to contribute to this site becoming bigger and better. Please, let's also keep the threads on-topic in terms of the fact that this isn't a place to discuss other artists' work at length -- there's no space for that here. So, let's give it a go and see what happens over the next month or so. Enjoy! -- Benn Check out our new interactive map of 1960s London studios that has was added to the site today. Using known session dates, we've plotted the various studios The Who used during its first years of recording efforts. Some of these studios are long gone; others, like Abbey Road, live on today as much a tourist site as a working recording studio. There's not much public info available on the dearly departed studios, and seemingly few photos. But what's here hopefully will give you a general idea of the facilities the band patronised trying to get its work on disc and in the listener's ears. Of course, this isn't even all of the studios in the city at the time. It's a work in progress, so please bear with us as we try to improve it. One of the biggest problems with projects like this is getting the technology to work consistently on everyone's browser. Not surprisingly, your mileage may vary. But let us know if you're experiencing massive problems and we'll do our best to work with them. As always, if you have suggestions, comments or corrections, please be sure to click the email icon on the home page or fill out the contact form to notify Benn directly. We appreciate your input. Stay tuned for more great Who content coming soon... -- Webmonkey You asked for it, so here it is!
It's one of two new pages debuting today on the site. (Hint: Check out the main page for a link to the other one.) Lots more to come here, especially wisdom from Benn, but also site news and announcements. As always, please be sure to tell us what you think of all the new stuff, and what else you'd like to see here. You can fill out the contact form, fill out our survey or send us an email. Enjoy! -- Webmonkey |
