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.
@reubent As I mentioned earlier I got that in one of my $1 buys and I cleaned it and played it Saturday I think. It is definitely worth searching out on vinyl, the sq was excellent.
uberwaltz, Soul Cages is my favorite of Sting's solo stuff. A fine album and the CD with "Q Sound" has exceptional sound quality.
Tonight I'm listening to Vintage Trouble - 1 Hope St. Very bluesy and soulful. Been discovering a lot of these young newish bands doing R&B they way it should be.
@uberwaltz - "I have never even heard of The Trews, never mind heard them....."
That's because you're not Canadian........ Or your unlucky, I guess!
I saw the Trews when they opened for Dada on the "Puzzle - 25th anniversary tour". Was totally blown away and went searching for content. Found lots of stuff on YouTube and now on Spotify.
We're living in the golden age and most folks don't even know it......
@reubent Good tip on the Trews. I'm giving them a listen now and like what I'm hearing.
@uberwaltz, I get some of the Struts energy in the Trews. (I'm a big Struts fan, seen them once, will see them twice in May). But the Trews don't seem as catchy or as polished....which are not bad things. Some of the Struts hooks are a bit recycled. The Trews sound to me a little more real and rough around the edges in a good way.
Definitely more (North) American and on this Hope and Ruin album I'm hearing maybe a little Son Volt influence?

I would have disagreed with this not long ago because it has been my opinion that rock and roll is pretty much dead. But that opinion was mostly based on the fact that in most average American cities you're not going to hear good new rock on local radio stations. I used to live for that ah-ha moment when you heard that awesome new rock song on the radio for the first time.
It has taken me a while to learn that that is no longer the paradigm for rock. If you want new rock you're going to have to look for it and find it. Its there, and a lot of it is really good, you just might have to spend some time searching your streaming service, listening to focused internet radio or getting tips on Audiogon.
Having said that, I still miss good, old fashioned local rock radio and mega bands releasing mega hits. That world seems to be dominated by pop and pop-country now. And in that sense I still believe rock is dead.
What remains might be as good or probably even better but still not the same.
@n80. Very well said and yes so true. All of my recent " new to me rock" has come from here or streaming searching or another little known alternative is internet radio stations.
There are some really good worldwide internet radio stations that have not fallen prey to the pop culture.
And just to be right. I am pretty sure it was Gosta who first brought THE Teskey Bros to our attention right here a while back. First I or Reubent had heard of them.
Welcome and yes,this and the other music threads are all great places to hear about new to us music. Some you will like, some you will not but it's all good stuff!
