Песня "Bat Out Of Hell" американского певца Мит Лоуфа с одноименного альбома 1977 года признана самой любимой композицией среди британских водителей, пишет в понедельник газета The Daily Mail. Об этом свидетельствуют результаты опроса, проведенного страховой компанией Saga Motor Insurance среди более двух тысяч автолюбителей.
В тройку самых любимых "дорожных гимнов" также попали "Bohemian Rhapsody" группы Queen и "Born To Be Wild" коллектива Steppenwolf. На четвертом месте также оказалась группа Queen с композицией "Don't Stop Me Now".
Исследование выявило интересную тенденцию: стиль музыки не влияет на манеру вождения. Так, половина водителей-лихачей, часто нарушающих скоростной режим, признались, что чаще слушают медленный блюз или кантри. Кроме того, лихачи предпочитают регги, хип-хоп и классическую музыку.

John McLaughlin: Meeting of the Minds - The Making of Floating Point (2008)
DVD Release Date: May 20, 2008 Run Time: 80 minutes
Product Description For the first time, an intimate view of what happens at a John McLaughlin recording session. Filmed over a period of 5 days, during the making of John's new record Floating Point, you can see how great musicians work together with spontaneity and vitality. For this 'meeting of the minds' John invited some of the most outstanding instrumentalists including Indian vocalist Shankar Mahadevan. Through the interviews of all musicians, you will get to know how they approach John's compositions. In addition, there is an extra audio track with John commenting on the entire recording. This movie lifts the curtain on the making of music today. For Floating Point, which was recorded in India, McLaughlin used several of the best Indian musicians in the world. McLaughlin calls these players the 'young lions' of India. They include keyboardist Loiuz Banks, drummer Ranjit Barot, electric sitarist Niladri Kumar, flautists Shashank and Naveen Kumar, percussionist Sivamani, vocalist Shankar Mahadevan, electric mandolinist U.Rajesh, and Hindustini slide guitarist Debashish Bhattacharya. Joining them were other Western stars, saxophonist George Brooks and bassist Hadrien Feraud. With a line-up like that, you would expect a very Indian experience. But, McLaughlin says not necessarily so.
'Now while this CD features predominantly Indian musicians, we are in quite another form compared to the group Shakti,' McLaughlin says. 'The music is for the most part 'Jazz-Fusion' if a label has to be put on it. But with the musicians involved in this project, it has also a 'world' kind of atmosphere.'
McLaughlin adds, 'I really am happy with the outcome of this CD which actually came about quite spontaneously and without any real planning. You can hear in the music where I am in my development, and in which directions I'm moving. It was a real thrill to play with these players, and I offer my thanks to them for their unique contributions. I truly wish and hope that it brings something to the listeners. I also offer my deep thanks to them for their continued support to my dedicated work.'

Beatles for Sale: How Everything They Touched Turned to Gold (Paperback) by John Blaney (Author)
Beatles for Sale is a brand new way of looking at a story you may think you know inside out. Author John Blaney shows for the first time how the group and their inner circle invented so much of what we now recognize as the modern business of making and selling rock music. This was certainly not because Lennon, McCartney, Epstein, and the rest had a clear vision of the way things ought to be. Very often it was simply down to making things up as they went along - because no one had been there before and no one knew how to do these things. The book details the ups and downs of the group as they promoted, advertised, and sold records, played concerts, sold merchandise, made films, and set up publishing and record companies of their own. It is a story of naivety and greed, inexperience and luck, gullibility and ingenuity. It is the story of every aspect of how the Beatles made money - and how virtually every group since then has followed in their footsteps.
