“If you’ve never heard of her please give her a try” https://youtu.be/M2xL7D5lPAkTV talent show discovery: LDS from Provo that plays rave music, now with a billion YouTube views and 11 million(!) subscribers, appearance on Dancing with the Stars, a book deal, and a best selling Christmas album. If by some near miracle you have managed to avoid it til now congratulate yourself on your discernment and good fortune. Yes, of course, there is no accounting for taste and I certainly should not criticize somebody else’s choices. I know, I know - the unwritten law and all that.... but this exemplifies everything bad about commercial music that is (mostly) consistently railed against by serious music listeners here and it is unqualifiedly ghastly. +1 on the Funkadelic! |
|
Head East - "Flat as a Pancake"
|
Son Volt - "Okemah and the Melody of Riot"
|
Mary Wells Greatest Hits...Motown did some awesome sound recordings, and to see the tiny space they worked in (house basement in Detroit)...Amazing!!! |
@jamesclarke: "unqualifiedly ghastly"
I appreciate your restraint. I thought it was worse. Of course, it's approaching 2M YouTube views. Sigh.

Electric Light Orchestra – The Light Shines On Vol 2
|
Grateful Dead- In The Dark - MFSL |
The album Kinda Blue by Miles Davis. It was recorded in 1959 in New York on Columbia Records. It features Davis’ ensemble sextet. Saxophonists John Coltrane and Julian “Cannonball” Adderley, pianist Wynton Kelly, bassist Paul Chambers and drummer Jimmy Cobb, with former band pianist Bill Evans appearing on most of the tracks in place of Wynton Kelly. Some of the music (the track So What) was used in the movie Hidden Figures released in 2016 about the people behind the people involved in America’s race to put a man on the moon. |
Of Monsters & Men "Beneath the Skin" .....love this band! Got their latest on order. |
Count Basie & His Orchestra "88 Basie Street" Pablo/1983/OP/Mint |
ELO "Out of the Blue" US pressing/no barcode
Just got in a 6 pack Vicoustic Multifuser DC-2 diffusion panels. This was the last thing to try in my overall plan. (My room already sounds really good). I always wanted to try these on the ceiling and have been waiting on a deal. Right now I’m trying them at different places to hear their effects. I placed one on top of the "Aperature" on my back wall and the increase in vocal intelligibility and an overall sense of rightness is apparent. |
Dianna Krall "All For You" ORG/dbl lp/33rpm |
"All For You" isn't as extended as her 45rpm lps, but boy, does it sound gooooood.
Had to flatten the Basie lp, so that will be later. |
Leonard Cohen "You Want it Darker" Woah!!! Haven’t listened to this lp in over a year and man, does it get better with system improvements..... |
|
"88 Basie Street" is awesome! I love this type of music and I lucked up on a sealed copy recently, (I had to pay up for it). Worth every penny. Exceptional in every way. Very close in SQ to the D2D Harry James. |
Mark Kozelek & Jimmy Lavalle "Perils From the Sea"
my last one for 24 hours |
Won’t get a chance to listen to a record tonight, but wonder If anyone has recommendations for records shops in Seattle?
|
Wagner - Die Walkure, Sheffield Lab Classics |
|
Thanks. Will try and make it out there. |
Running on Empty ... Jackson Browne. |
Tubular Bells ....... Mike Oldfield.
Original UK release.
Who sells that for $1?? |
@ tedag,
Interesting that you mentioned Rory Gallagher, I just got in a sealed WLP copy of "Blueprint".
......................................................................................
Gonna finish up "Perils From the Sea". |
Rock N Roll Outlaws ... Foghat |
Johnathan Wilson "Rare Birds" EX SQ |
Up next,
Rory Gallagher "Against the Grain" promo/ "Blueprint" WLP |
@slaw
Going on your recommendation here.
Found a copy of El Camino on Discogs cw the 7" bonus single and CD.
Fair price so we will see..... |
You will not be disappointed. |
Rory's guitar is still smokin' on "Against the Grain", WOW.
In a while, J J Cale "Stay Around" his postumus 2019 release of previously unreleased material. |
Tonight... Steve Miller Band - Book Of Dreams 1st press. |
Welcome @gjroddy,
Nice record.
|
Side 2 of the J J Cale lp had to be flattened so up next in the rotation..
Starflyer 59 "Young in my Head" 2019 |
|
The Cranberries - Everybody Else Is Doing It, So Why Can't We? 25th anniversary clear vinyl edition. |
Based upon listening to just one side of "Stay Around", it strikes me as still yet fully formed. It just doesn't have the ultimate Cale SQ, structure, & vibe I'm use to hearing. |
The Starflyer lp was sounding somewhat lacking the soul I normally hear when listening to their earlier efforts. I decided to put up two more Vicoustics, one on each side of the one I previously put up in the center, back wall. Well, that brought the soul back for sure, with no other deleterious effects. More listening is required. |
All the talk about The Black Keys on another thread, got me hyped up to re-clean & re-listen to a few. "Attack & Release" is up now. |
"Attack & Release" ain't bad at all. Missing lowest bass info, surprisingly. |
"Turn Blue"...SQ = EX, vinyl quality under par/pressed off-center. |
Nirvana "Unplugged in New York" SV/SQ EX |
Nirvana ""Unplugged in New York" US domestic/white vinyl/SQ EX....slightly more open/dynamic than the SV issue. Enough that I noticed. |
The Black Keys "El Camino" 45rpm version |
again, getting ahead of myself.....Kris Kristofferson "This Old Road" was going to be up next, needed flattening. |
"This Old Road"...Kris is never discussed here. Why?, I don’t know because he/his songs were part of several generations. He was most recently on the latest Rosanne Cash lp. He won’t be around much longer...glad I have a document. |
Ben Webster meets Oscar Peterson.
