Hey @slaw , how's the health? |
Hey James. Still testing positive although feel okay. If "God's FC" is Tillman's latest, I really like it. I can't keep up with artist' output like I use to. He's a big talent!
Set up my new to me phono stage and volume control this morning. Had to buy some cables/adapters to make it all work. Those will need some break-in I'd imagine. |
@slaw Hey Steve! Good morning. Are you back to work yet? Wanted to ask you: what you think of the new FJM? |
Thanks for your impressions @loomisjohnson . |
Peter Gabriel - 3 @mammothguy54 I really like that Beth Hart Zep tribute. I have only streamed it, but I thought she knocked it out of the park. |
@tgilb, @slaw, i really liked ukelele songs, and i think the "into the wild" soundtrack is hugely underrated (though watching that kid tear up the $15k check makes me want to strangle him). "earthling", was a miss for me--like you say vedder's much better at the straight acoustic stuff than at the lavishly-arranged pop songs. today's picks:sonny rollins, saxophone colossus--he can play the horn, but the real revelation here is max roach's drums, which are incredible moby grape, s/t--apparently ongoing copyright disputes make much of these songs unavailable on spotify, but i'm still in awe of this album. bob mosley may have been the great white soul singer.

Steve Winwood-Talking Back To The Night Side 1 Michael Franks-The Camara Never Lies Side 1 Bad Company-ST Side 1 Dave Mason-Certified Live Side 2 SQ Audiophile George Benson-White Rabbit(1979 2nd press) Side 1 SQ Audiophile Heatwave-Central Heating Side 2 Maggie Rogers-Heard It In A Past Life Side A Gary Moore-Victims Of The Future(Japanese pressing) Side 2 Could a "live" album win a SQ crown? Tonight it did. I'm aware that they "fix" live recordings, regardless its a great recording with top SQ and content. Maggie Rogers(2019) recording was not warped but scuffed it did have a sonic veil. Might purchase the CD to compare. Central Heating is a 5 star recording with near audiophile SQ if your a R&B fan check it out,

Joni Mitchell - Blue Rhino reissue of this Reprise album. Joni Mitchell - Don Juan's Reckless Daughter Japanese issue, with OBI Strip. Beth Hart - A Tribute To Led Zeppelin Recent, new release. Female vocals day. Two female artists at completely opposite ends of style. Both are fabulous artists. Blue sounds very, very good. Beth Hart album sounds good, but not excellent. The Japanese issue of Don Juan's is superb and can easily qualify as a go-to for system demo. My jaw was open for the entire album play. |
I very much enjoy most of the songs on Eddie's new album Earthling and definitely more than the last few Pearl Jam albums. I do wish he would have included a few of his acoustic based songs instead of some of the faster paced songs as his acoustic songs were always my favorites on the Pearl Jam albums. One of my biggest regrets as far as concerts go was not seeing Eddie on his solo tour after the release of Ukulele Songs. Big mistake that I still regret to this day.

Hey @tgilb , How do you like Eddie Vedder's new lp? |
@slaw Looks like your patience paid off and you got both SD albums on 45. Nice!
————————- Sibeleus - 1st |
lucy show, mania--something of an overlooked gem which has held up a lot better than most 80's new wave elliott easton, change no change--solo record from the cars' lefthanded guitarist is much better than you'd expect, with big production values and vg songs, all co-written with jules shear gone fishin, matt puicci and tim lee--obscure but really tuneful project from rain parade and windbreakers principals |
Hey @bdp24 Wow, no kidding about the sad ending! I’d recently played The Textone’s Midnight Mission, a fabulous record, and recognized Seymour’s name. Thanks for your posts, great reads! |
@bdp24 @loomisjohnson what a story. |
@loomisjohnson: I rate those first three Twilley albums in the same order as do you. I didn't see Twilley live until after Phil Seymour had left the group, so Dwight was doing all the lead singing (his bassist Jim Lewis---who later had one solo album released on Bomp Records---sang harmony). With Pitcock playing his Gibson ES335 plugged into a pair of Fender Deluxe Reverb amps with an MXR digital delay between them (which is how he created that Sun Records slapback guitar sound), and Jerry Naifah on drums, the quartet was a dynamite live band, really cool. @mammothguy54 (and anyone else who is interested): All right, I'll give you more ;-). After leaving The Dwight Twilley Band, Seymour got himself a record deal with Boardwalk Records and made two real good Pop albums. The first had a hit single with "Precious To Me" (written by Phil), plus a great version of the Bobby Fuller song "Let Her Dance". After the second album stiffed he joined The Textones, but soon thereafter was diagnosed with Lymphoma, and returned to Tulsa for treatment. His hair fell out and he lost a lot of weight, but his burning need to make music compelled him to return to Los Angeles. He had a major fan in Tulsa (I was in communication with her) who volunteered to drive him there in her van, so she made a bed for him in the back and took off for L.A. Somewhere in Arizona she stopped for gas, and discovered Phil had passed away. She was of course devastated. What a sad ending. |
