big_gregThank you. Feeling like Job lately. And Qobuz has been meeting my needs very well. Highly recommend for the price. |
Finished up Bobbie Gentry’s Delta Sweete this morning. This album just drew me in. She certainly has an engaging voice, and the song selection is incredible. And it had the added advantage of calming the dog during a thunderstorm.

Didn’t last long. She went back to her safe space. But at least I learned something about the music business.

Calming Music For Dogs
Qobuz
Our new pound puppy has been stressed out since the tornado hit our house last week. Still stays in the closet most of the day when she hears thunder. A little light jazz to relax her. Search “Music for dogs” in Qobuz. Who knew this was a whole sub-genre. |
The Interrupters - Fight The Good Fight
Qobuz Hi-Res
Some good LA punk/ska to get the juices flowing on this rainy, dreary day. |

Well, going through a few end of the year “Best Of…” lists to find out what I missed. First of:
Japanese Breakfast - Jubillee
Qobuz Hi-Res
Nice start Not sure how I missed it, but glad I found it I have a soft spot for acoustic female singers, so I sat right down in my chair and was in bliss.
|
Mdou Moctar - Afrique Victime
Qobuz Hi-Res
Multi-layer, complicated rhythm that will transport you.
|
Almost forgot…I listened to Morcheeba - Big Calm this weekend on Qobuz at CD quality. It hit all my wants and needs for that moment.
|
The Interrupters - Say It Out Loud
Qobuz Hi-Res
|
Interpol - Turn On The Bright Lights

Snail Mail - Valentine
Qobuz Hi-Res
Dreary and depressing. Couldn’t really finish it.

First time listening to Morcheeba. I may be listening to them more in the future.

So, I just opened up Amazon Music on the BluOS app. Discovered that just about every CD and LP I have bought on Amazon over the past 20+ years is accessible. Kinda weirded out by this. |

My internet connection has been hinky the past few weeks. Enough drop-outs to interfere with my music listening. Oh yeah, and my wife works from home so there’s that…
Finally called Xfinity about it. They came by this morning and quickly identified the problem (junction box servicing this cul-de-sac). So now my (music) streaming is regular and my wife started her vacation today.

Albert King with Stevie Ray Vaughan - In Session
Qobuz Hi-Res
I was really surprised to find this on Qobuz, and in Hi-Res at that! I was a grad student in Austin and had just discovered him when he died. Ended up buying up lots of his stuff, including a bootleg of his Alpine WI Concert. Never saw this album. |
Quinteto Violado - 25 Anos Não São 25 Dias, Edição Histórica Qobuz A good accessible album for initial exposure to northeast Brazilian forro music. Upbeat, danceable, fun to listen to. |
MPB Vibes - Various Artists
Qobuz
A great compilation covering lots of the favorite songs of Brazilian pop music. |
Cindy Bullens - Desire Wire
Qobuz
The Washington Post has a nice write-up about Cidny Bullens new album, the first since his gender-reassignment surgery. Thought I would check out some of the earlier stuff. |

I bought this album a few years ago for the cool cover. Never got around to listening to it. Oh yeah, that’s why I switched to streaming... |
I was tempted to buy it off of her, but wasn’t sure of a fair price and I didn’t want to go down the rabbit hole. She’ll sell it on Facebook and she’ll get something for it and someone will get a good deal. If you know someone in the DC area who is interested in a gray plinth Garrard 301 in working condition have them contact me and I’ll connect them with her. |
