You’re stuck with me Brian, I’ll be here making up time for today’s event.

Recent arrivals, 

Calexico "Carried to Dust" sealed 

 

The Small Faces "Ogdens' Nut Gone Flake" 

1985/A Compleat Collection 

Warming up with a second listen to....

Dawes "Misadventures of Doomscroller"

@sbank ,

I’m hearing what you were talking about, wishing for more piano attack!! Again on the hand-clapping on "Church" .

I’m overall, still happy if I can get one quiet copy out of two. The first track on side two.... the piano intro sounds nice and appropriate though.

I believe I’d give it more than 8.5 on sonics just because the music is so great!! You’re more likely hearing through unbiased ears than I. Then again, this may be how it was intended?

I am rethinking my cleaning regimen.

Hey Brian,

Never understood why Deutsche Grammophon chose to put their advertisement over so much real estate on their lp jackets???

The Jack White album, on first listen is my top pick so far this year. It's brilliant! Only one thing ...the SQ is 7 to 7.5. The music more than makes up for it. I think Jack needs to get Dan Auerbach to produce his next record 

Jack White "Fear of the Dawn"

2022/Third Man Records 

Can already tell the Sonics on this lp aren't the best. What a shame, great music though 

Lyle Lovett "Joshua Judges Ruth" 

my replacement copy, already see a teeny scratch....

Betty LaVette "1972 Muscle Shoals Sessions"

2018/Atco/ROG 

One nice sounding album!!!

Hey Tim,  

I remember buying that lp because of it being reviewed highly in Stereophile, most likely, years ago. I don't remember the sonics on my copy being memorable last time I heard it, but that was years ago.

 

 

Jack is such an interesting artist. IMO, "EHA" is more dynamic and open than "FOTD". These are impressions from just one listen. They are both great albums from a content perspective. I'd give "EHA" a solid 9.

Puttin' on Jack White "Fear of the Dawn" again after implementing some of my newest cleaning regimen.

Pino Palladino/ Blake Mills "Notes With Attachments" 

2021/A New Deal/Impulse 

That's his album I've seen mentioned most often for years . Thanks Spencer.

Listening to side one, though the surface noise has diminished dramatically, the lp sounds compressed to me . Have to turn volume to 3 for it to start really rockin'.

Wednesday "S/T"

2021/Original Records USA 

Reminds me of Built to Spill

Hey Joel, 

There's no one here that will doubt you on Basie's , Pablo releases. 

Been listening to Cowboy Junkies a while. Have the op and "revisited". Enjoy both.
