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.
Greg I was going to stream that Black Keys one too last night, then realized I had bought it on vinyl a couple weeks ago but not got round to playing it yet. So was going to wait so as to do a very close comparison on sq between the two media.
I did give a listen instead to When Worlds Collide by Antiphon.
I may have gotten mixed up on what people were talking about as far as Antiphon goes. I saw a mention of a release called Antiphon by Alfa Mist and that is what I listened to. I kind of got tired of the Black Keys a few years ago, it seemed like they were stuck in White Stripes light mode, but I really liked this new album. I found it more musical and creative and am glad they ditched the lo-fi schtick.
Mind Transplant had been referred to as Spectrum II by some people in deference to Billy Cobhams Spectrum.
I would say IMHO that it is more musically accessible than Spectrum. That is not saying one drummer is better than the other but just it has more Musical appeal to myself.
You are so correct Greg Jackson had a period where his music was just sublime, then like a lot it petered out. But this one is a true classic, I have it on vinyl and cassette.
Just took a trip to my LRS and right there front and center in the $1 bins were Hold Out and The Pretender! Needless to say they are not still there, or another 15 or so $ 1 albums, lol. Yep, big kid in a candy store!
Very cool uber! The only stuff I see in the dollar bins at my record store are really beat up or titles you've never heard of. Their prices are quite reasonable for used records though, the best I've seen in the area and typically about 70-80% of what you'd see on Discogs, although they have been going up over the last year or so, no doubt due to the continuing resurgence of vinyl.
Greg But you are in an area that is a hotbed of vinyl and good vinyl shops. Here in Jacksonville there are really only 2 shops worth visiting. The one I frequent has tens of thousands of albums. Quite often he gets in a mood and throws a lot of what would be $4 to $6 albums in the $1 bins to get stock down.
But yes say out of one box I look through might only be one or two I am interested in or are not already beat to heck and back.
Uber, I am fortunate, especially since I live in a relatively small town (about 50,000 population) and one of the best record stores in the region is here.
@uberwaltz - You are most welcome! That's what these threads are all about.....
@slaw - For me, streaming is for convenience, finding new music, and for listening to music I can't afford on vinyl. Case in point, look up the 2 Jellyfish albums I mentioned. Only a handful of both available on Discogs and eBay. Prices, about $70 - $1000. I would go broke buying all the vinyl I want.....
