@tomic601 - Happy New Year!
Jim, I have had a single Magic Brick in use in my system since sometime around 1986. Not sure if it does anything at all, but it's always been a great conversation piece. BTW, I used the brick as a template and cut out a thin piece of felt and glued it onto the bottom of the brick. Prevents any potential scratching of the finish on the top of my amp. |
I just finished up Titus Andronicus - "The Monitor". It is definitely not an audiophile record as far as sound quality. The lead singer appears to be completely tone deaf. It's long (double LP). And its a concept album. But I loved it!
If you like punk, Irish sounding guitar riffs, US Civil War History, or concept albums in general. Check it out, via streaming first, before you invest in the LP. The LP does sound a bit better than the Spotify Stream (as it should).
Titus Andronicus Forever! (name of track 2, side 1) |
@bkeske - Thanks for your comments about the Pro-Ject and the MyMat based on your experience. Happy New Year to you and yours..... |
@slaw
Steve, I'm a huge fan of Rare Earth. "Ecology" is a great album..... |
|
Jan Hammer Group - "Oh, Yeah?"
Oh Yeah! |
|
@tomic601
Tom the Robben Ford blue line is smoking…
Were you already familiar with it, or did you just stream it? Just curious...
|
Joel, enjoy the skiing. Haven't started my season yet :~(
|
Just heard Danny Gatton - Danny and the Fat Boys - "Harlem Nocturne" on Radio Paradise. Immediately went to discogs looking for a copy of the album "American Music". Got one coming from Boops Records.
|
Allan Holdsworth - "Metal Fatigue"
Again. Man, I love this album. |
@spiritofradio - I checked out the Soft Machine album and it did nothing for me. I’m probably a loser.....
I'll check out "Tempest" to see if I can get some mojo back. |
Rolling Stones - "Tattoo You" |
@spiritofradio
Make sure to stream Tempest in super delux high res
Can't. I'm a lowly Spotify user. :~( |
@almosthome - Welcome to the "What's on your Turntable Tonight?" thread. Keep 'em coming... |
Yes - "Drama" - Kevin Gray Remaster |
@tomic601 - I have a pair of Infinity Qb's for my backup speakers. Been thinking about a re-build project. Would be good to get them playing better than new. |
Chris Whitley - "Living With The Law" |
|
The Who - "Live at Leeds" |
|
Bob Welch - "French Kiss" |
@boxer12 - I wish your wife a speedy recovery. I hope she is home soon. Good Luck with everything. |
Gerry Rafferty - "City to City" |
The Stone Roses - "Second Coming"
|
Al Stewart - "Year of the Cat" |
@mammothguy54 - I really like -
Jeff Beck with the Jan Hammer Group - "Live". If you like that record, you might like The Jan Hammer Group - "Oh, Yeah?". A fantastic album from that period, IMHO. |
@spiritofradio
@reubent that Abercrombie record is mighty nice.
Yes it is! Especially the title track, which is the album closer. One of the best closers ever! |
David Gray - "White Ladder" from the 20th Anniversary Box Set
|
Willie Nelson - "Willie and Family Live"
This is a fantastic record. Great performance and excellent SQ. My favorite Willie record..... |
Midnight Oil - "Diesel and Dust" |
John Abercrombie (with Jan Hammer and Jack De Johnette) - "Timeless" |
@tomic601 - And the vocals ain't bad either. Or the songwriting........ |
Aaron Parks - "Little Big"
Someone mentioned this album on an AgoN thread and I checked it out via streaming. Liked it and bought the double-LP. Was really looking forward to it. Arrived last evening, but just got a chance to sit down and take a listen this morning.
Maybe for the first time ever, I've got an album that has TOO MUCH bass emphasis. I like the music quite a bit. It's a piano led jazz quartet. However, the bass guitar and bass drum is over-emphasized IMHO.
Anyone else got this record? What are your thoughts. |
@mammothguy54 - Joel, Do you have the 2016 Jeff Beck Album - "Loud Hailer"? Curious what you might think of it. If you don't have it, give it a stream before spending money on the vinyl. I like it quite a bit, but it's not your typical Jeff Beck album. He's pretty much providing guitar accompaniment to the singer - Rosie Bones. And, it's definitely a political album, so that might turn some folks off, or not. The 3 slow ones - "Scared for the Children", "Shame" and "Shrine" steal the show IMHO. |
The Jayhawks - "Hollywood Town Hall"
|
Gerry Rafferty - "City to City"
|
Well, ain't that the $hit! A bunch of like minded music fans........ We should hang out sometime. |
"Chicago Transit Authority" |
David Gray - "White Ladder - Rarities and b-sides" from the 20th Anniversary Box Set
|
@noromance - I have that record - Gare Du Nord - "Rendezvous 8:02". I like it quite a bit. Was a recommendation from @abucktwoeighty I believe. Maybe I'll give it a spin again tomorrow morning. |
The Doobie Brothers - "What Were Once Vices Are Now Habits" |
Jenny Lewis - "Acid Tongue" |
Elton John - "Honky Chateau"
|
Shovels and Rope - "Little Seeds" |
Emerson, Lake and Palmer - "Brain Salad Surgery" |
@big_greg - I just had "Live at Budokan" in my hand, but chose "Brain Salad Surgery" instead. |
Nilsson - "Nilsson Schmilsson" |
|
Mike Oldfield - "Tubular Bells"
From a crate of recent hand-me-down records from a family friend. Haven't heard this record in a very long time. Fortunately this one is in really good condition. |
