Blog on Phil Spector & Wall of Sound-type music

[kwan_dk]

I've had some time off work recently and have started a blog about the Wall of Sound; not just the music of Phil Spector but productions old and new that follow in his footsteps.

There's already a bunch of blog posts up so if anyone here is interested, please do stop by and check it out.

Some of the topics include write-ups on producers from the 60s trying to outdo Spector (and obviously, I'll write about Brian along the way), Gold Star Studios, Philles rarities, Brill Building stuff and a particular geeky obsession of mine, - tracking down songs from the last 10 years or so that try to emulate the Wall of Sound.

Yeah, one thing is LaLa's vocal performance. But even better is Paul Shaffer's faithful recreation of the wall of sound. I wish he'd take that concept on the road somehow...
