Al Stewart's "Down In the Cellar", 2000. Wine-themed songs......
What's in your CDP tonight? the minority report
I enjoy vinyl and digital (lately, with recent changes, vinyl actually sounds better than digital to me), BUT given what seems an overall preference for analog/vinyl on A'gon, I'm curious what the non-vinyl "1/2" is listening to. I tried to see if this was a previously posted question. Did not seem so.
This evening for me, it's Genesis (definitive edition remaster) "A Trick of the Tail".

Well, that should have been "SuRfer King" last night. Not that anyone’s paying attention. So far tonight... Yellowjackets - A Rise In The Road Track 8 An Amber Shade of Blue https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ImuJn7MRGQU Now... Wilco - Sky Blue Sky (as suggested by my friend Pokey77) Track 5, Side With The Seeds https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JkMXkirbq_o&frags=pl%2Cwn Great guitar work from Nels Cline throughout the album. All the above and almost every night, if it ain't Tidal then it's ripped CDs through an Aries Mini into a Gungnir MB DAC. |
Happy New Year to you too, Jafant. We be Buckcherry ignorant. Will investigate.

One I haven’t played in a very long time: Smiths - Meat Is Murder When it got to How Soon Is Now? I stopped the CD, went over to my vintage 1965 Fender Deluxe Reverb, flipped on the power switch, tuned up the Fender Stratocaster, flipped the standby switch to on, tweaked the tremolo to a generous fast pulse at that song’s tempo and with a lot of reverb, and cranked that chord progression for half an hour. So cool. |

Los Lobos - This Time Title track... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PCQeZRsoKUY Oh Yeah - ! Track 2 as in too good to leave out... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bYnb5gg9s3w&frags=pl%2Cwn |
@mental Ha! Sept 2013...that Colossal Head mention goes back a ways. Good reminder. I was listening to Los Lobos steadily for what seemed like a couple of years well before then. Had Kiko, Colossal Head, This Time + Just Another Band from East LA spinning on a regular basis at home and in the car. Bought How Will The Wolf Survive on vinyl when it first came out. There is still a lot of their catalog that I don’t know. Have always respected the heck out of them. Talk about paying dues. Liked that they did some very adventurous/nontraditional things with their music...thanks in large part to Mitchell Froom’s influence, I believe*. Kinda stopped following them with the release of Good Morning Aztlan. Just didn’t have the magic their earlier records had. Kinda flat feeling. Worth noting it wasn’t done with Froom. If you liked Colossal Head, This Time might work for you too. Probably gonna have to give ’em a listen later this evening. *was forgetting Tchad Blake. More than Froom (maybe?) responsible for the interesting production. |
