Profile: Once upon a time ... and then there was no little Ogger...
...was my conviction when v4 shook the community that Discogs was built on. Although today I found my peace with v4+ (my conviction-statement is here for historical reasons only), 'Complete + Correct' is still my only vice.

I'm only here (on Discogs)
because there's a little librarian in me, that never really got out.

On submitting a release(-change):
Building my knowledge merely on submission-reaction from other Oggers, and what I can find (and sometimes know), my experience is that elaborate submission-notes & secure images are the primary key to identifying a release (besides love for all of course ;)

Jimi Hendrix - Mr. Pitiful - 13-Sep-09 03:07 PM
A curiosity indeed ... Playing this LP might make you wonder if your needle suddenly went bad ... well it didnt ... its just that bad a recording; probably one of the worst ever to reach vinyl. Besides the technical poverty of this release, its not a high-flyer artistically as well. Its nice to hear (someone who sounds like) Jimi do some blues and soul classics, but the only purpose of this release can only have been growth of Astans bank account.

The only exception to the above lament is "I Shouldve Quit You" which features some frivolous guitar work in which I actually recognize something of the Jimi Hendrix I like.

Gruppo Sportivo - Hey Girl - 14-Feb-08 06:37 PM
"Hey Girl" was one of Gruppo Sportivos highest-ever hitting singles taken from the album "Back To 78". Although the album contains many songs artistically superior, "Hey Girl" had hit-potential; probably mainly due to the lyrics relating so well to male AND female adolescent concern in a funny, introspective manner:

`She said: "Sorry, but its over"... You cant stay with me no more.`

`You gotta give me one more chance... Ive got a rocket in my pants... I want... someone like you.`

Despite the fact that Hans Vandenburg has composed far more interesting material —shallow as it is— this song is quite intelligently written both musically and lyrically; generating an energy that easily survived 30 years, and probably will for ever... providing Rock & Roll & Ska are the roots of popular music, and people appreciate silly word-benders like:

`She said: "Your nose is running honey". I said: "Sorry, but its snot."`

Hey-ho Silver!

Penguin Cafe Orchestra - Penguin Cafe Orchestra - 04-Apr-07 05:22 AM
A substantial amount of the tracks on this album was used in the soundtrack of the Australian movie Malcolm [Nadia Tass, 1986].
The almost naively exploring character of the compositions highly sustain the atmosphere of the movie; one of the best movie-soundtracks I know. If you dont like the music -which is unheard of- at least see the movie...

AC/DC - Whole Lotta Rosie / Dog Eat Dog - 05-Jan-07 03:19 AM
Although technically not very spectacular, and hardly perfect, "Whole Lotta Rosie" by "AC/DC" is probably the most utterly Hard Rock song ever performed.
Of course for the guitar-riff in the first 4 bars that everyone immediately recognizes, but especially for the lead guitar starting a discussion with the rest of the band at 250", lasting until the very the last second (half the song that is) and the lead guitar has the last word ...of course.
