@slaw let me know if you hear any Dead influence...

Arrived today, 

Cowboy Junkies "Black Eyed Man" "Caution Horses"

@reubent impressions of "Clairvoyant"? I find it smooth as 30yr. old scotch.

@slaw I like it, but only one listen so far. 

“It Still Moves” still moves me.

 

@whatsaftumch Yeah, I saw an XTC documentary and Andy was pretty funny in his disdain for Todd. No love there! 

 

The Stranglers – No More Heroes

Todd's music had so much detail and so many different percussion touches....it was ahead of it's time. He may have been a Runt back then, but he was indeed a Wizard.. a True Star. 

Yes, he produced Meatloaf's Bat Out of Hell...the only project including Jimmy Iovine, The E Street Band, Phila. Orch and Phil Rizzutto!

Saw Todd at Roseland Ballroom in NYC in the 90s. It was a round stage with a variety of percussion instruments attached to the bottom going all the way around. For the encore he passed drumsticks to about 50 audience members and they joined for Bang The Drum All Day, while he tossed condoms to the crowd. What a guy!

"Heaven...I'm in heaven..." My preorder hit my mailbox on release date yesterday. The original master was digital, so this is the best they're gonna do.

Eva Cassidy – Live At Blues Alley
Label:    Blix Street Records – G8-10218
Format:    
2 x Vinyl, LP, 45 RPM, 180

@reubent Yeah, watching GET BACK inspired me to play it twice recently. I like the more stripped down versions which remind me quite a bit of scenes in the show. Pretty satisfying on vinyl...I don't feel the urge to buy the new anniversary version, though plenty tout it's merits.

Friday workday background:

Dvořák*, Kertesz*, London Symphony* – Symphony No. 2 In B Flat Major
