As we are in the modern age of music I thought I would see how this fares. We have threads specific for cdp and tt so why not streaming as it is a modern media. I don't care if you stream Tidal, Deezer, Spotify, Paradise Radio or any number of internet stations. I would like you to share your tastes and method of streaming.
A 2000 debut but new to me. Quoting the write up accompanying the album on Tidal: "A strange and beautiful mix of the romantic, eerie, and world-weary....".
Just finished Handel's "Water Music" LP and now I'm streaming Gregory Alan Isakov, "This Empty Northern Hemisphere". I'll probable go back to some vinyl before the night's over....What great times we live in!
I agree with ghosthouse! Please keep the thread rolling. Believe it or not, with a little help from my friends I just subscribed to Tidal this week. Currently streaming The Beattles, Sgt. Peppers Lonely Hearts Band, ( Deluxe Anniversary
Hello uberwaltz - Hah...I can sympathize. Did my share of time in Ship Channel refineries and chem plants wearing Nomex and the rest of the safety gear. Nothing like being next to an operating reactor in July afternoon heat down there. Well, maybe crawling through a boiler that just got taken out of service but, fortunately, I didn't work that side of the house.
Just got done listening again (Tidal) to Steps Ahead their self-titled first US release.
You don't have to post every hour or even every day. Save it for something extraordinary you've listened to. I'm heartened by your "obsessive listening" (there're are others out there!) even if tastes are not always identical. Same goes for Slaw posting on What's Playing On Your Turntable Today? or Nutty's What's Playing On Your System Today. I do sometimes get ideas for my own listening from your content and theirs.
I listen to Tidal regularly but usually just post about it, when the spirit moves, over on the What's In Your CDP Tonight? thread. That was always intended as a digital listening thread alternative to the turntable thread that Slaw has adopted. No problem with redundancy and overlap, however. My main goal for listing a recording is to give it a little more exposure and maybe maybe maybe turn someone else on to something they've not heard before. A noble cause or maybe just a manifestation of mania.
Either way, having said all that...try this:
The Bad Plus - These Are the Vistas
Track 3, Smells Like Teen Spirit There are covers and then there are COVERS. Plus the sonics on this whole recording are pretty good.
Think it is time to shelve this thread as very little interest besides myself posting and that gets old...lol. Completely understand there are way too many music threads already and a lot of very good long and well established ones. This was a stab at just covering a different growing area but with the general dearth of activity here anyway and the profusion of established threads it is just too much. Been a great ride and I do thank all those who did take the time and trouble to post here. Signing off with Tidal alt/indie radio for the morning before work.
