Searching for Jupiter - Magnus Ostrom

liquor giants, every other day at a time---the auteur, ward dotson is a fantastic, oddly overlooked pop songwriter whose previous band, the pontiac brothers, was also great in a stonesy/replacementy vein.

@nutty - I listened to "Tumbleweed Connection" again tonight. Just awesome..... Thanks again for the bringing it to our attention again. I hadn't heard it in many years and I forgot how great it was. 

Happy Weekend!

dada - "puzzle" - A fantastic CD that I've listened to regularly since it was first released in 1992.

@reubent 
Agree with you about Dada...a great recording. I remember when it came out. Track getting airplay on WXPN was "Dorina". Not only are the songs good on that whole album but the sound quality is superior. A Bob Clearmountain mastering job, if I recall correctly. Sad that their subsequent albums did not achieve the same level of excellence. (well...in my opinion, anyway). Highway Flower is decent but not as good as Dada.

Nightmares on Wax - "Carboot Soul"

@jafant 

I'm sure you know those Beck recordings too.  Everything about them is well done...songs, arrangements, musicianship and recording quality.  I'm no Beck expert though, anything else of his worth listening to that's along the same "singer/songwirter" lines as these two? 

Charles Ives , "Concord Mass.1840-60"

@schubert

S - I’ll see your Ives and raise you a Ruggles, "The Sun Treader". ;-)

(They were friends, you know.)

I'll see you an Amy Beach who was better than either of them and knew neither ! -----:)

Okay, you are on. Will check out her music. Know nothing about her.

Hmm...wikipedia entry is interesting.  Another New Englander and contemporary (broadly speaking) of Ives and Ruggles but writing in a very different style.  

Have found several pieces (Gaelic Symphony and others) on Tidal.

The Steve Miller Band - Bingo!

@reubent I saw U2's Joshua Tree tour last night in Dallas. My daughter waited online to buy tickets right when they became available for purchase. We needed six together. We ended up way up high---didn't matter, U2 blew the roof off the place (Jerry World--Cowboy Stadium). Lumineers opened for them. All around great show. I'm playing U2's War right now (Island 1983 RBCD). I remember listening to this LP when it first came out and feeling the band's emotional power. They still have it. 

@astewart8944 - Glad you enjoyed the show and good to know we're in for a good experience. I've been keeping an eye on the setlists from the tour. Seems like it's going to be great one. Our seats aren't great either, but I know U2 has perfected the stadiums show, so I'm not worried about it. One Republic is opening the Louisville show. I'm not a big fan, but my 13 year old son likes them, so I'm happy with the choice of opening act. I'm actually kinda looking forward to seeing a more modern, younger, pop band, just to see how they do it.....

Dr. John/Mercernary/. If you haven't heard this, shame on you. Mostly a collection of Johnny Mercer tunes on the Blue note label.

@jafant 

Hey there 'j'...
So how good is the SQ on it?  

BTW - it's okay to reply to queries and engage in DIALOG!  :-)

the cranberries - "everyone else is doing it, why can't we?"  Been listening to this CD periodically since 1993 and still love it.

ghosthouse-

SQ is very good on the 2017 edition. More clarity, vocals more forward in the new mix.  I will always have a preference for the 1987 CDs.
The 2009 stereo edition is very fine as well. 

There are not any poor Beatles recordings, IMO.

Happy Listening!

jafant -
Thanks for the feedback.
Hmmm...I'm certainly a bit curious about this latest SPLHCB release.  Dunno  though.  I go through periods of heavy listening to the Beatles but it might be years in between...certainly months.  Growing up with them as they were breaking, I guess I don't often feel much of a need to listen now.  I do find your remark about a preference for the '87 CDs interesting.  Need to do some research on the release history.  

Enjoy the Fab Four, guys! Guarantee their music will be here for another 50 years!
Listening to Graham Parker, Squeezing out Sparks. Entire albumn has a great groove. "Nobody Hurts You", for example.
