Whats on your turntable tonight?

Glad the new SUT is working out there drrsutiff

Going to have to listen when  things get a little saner.

My favorite CD of the last month, which I will attend to (fully) this evening: Lofty's Roach Soufflé - Harry Connick Jr. and it's entirely instrumental. I consider the first song mostly a "pacing" song, an attunement song that gets my mind into the right place, sets my audiophile listening ears to (full) focus. From the second song onward the music will reveal itself there in your room. The arrangements are simple: piano, double-bass, drums, mostly. Let me make it clear, these songs are not "catchy" - they are works of art, tunes and accompanying fingering, lingering effortlessly in dynamics that are not reaching to create fierce attack, so much as the work of a painter, working with little effort to illuminate generous themes that at times spin off into glorious unknown soundscapes. Gorgeous stuff.

Can anyone tell me how the tag function on here works.  Seems inconsistent.  Some take, and some don’t.  For example, I’ve never been able to tag Uber.  

I start with the @ 
Usually then there will appear a drop down with names in it, I type in the first letter, then second and so on until I see the member I want to address.

Now when it does not show a members name in that drop down is when the tagging does not work.
However I have no idea why some members names would NOT show in the dropdown but it happens a fair bit tbh

For example Spirit.
I just checked and your member name did not appear in my dropdown so the tagging would not work for you from me.

Maybe email support here at the Gon and see if they know why?

Tagging is an intermittent feature for me here on the ol' A-goN. Works sometimes (a slight majority of the time) and doesn't work sometimes.

Thanks guys.  It’s not a big deal obviously but sort of curious.   

Arriving in a plain brown wrapper this morning was:

Aoife O’Donovan
Bull Frogs Croon
(And Other Songs)

45 EP signed in silver sharpie on the photo insert

SQ is very nice and the music is beautiful.  What a voice.  Nobody like her.  I think that for you fellows that are really into Linda Ronstadt you might find you appreciate the caliber of this woman’s voice.   

spirit,

Surprised you received yours before me.

Bonny Light Horseman
Eponymous 

Aiofe is my angel

@slaw 

yeah well, she loves me, what other explanation could there be...

Aren’t you a little surprised too that they got this out at all.  I think there is going to be a gap here for awhile on delivery of new pressings. 
Anyway, after you get yours tomorrow please let me know what you think of the sound of the second/final cut on side two.  

Spirit...try Antje D also....New Siberia

tagging is about as reliabTrabant

Oh @slaw , now I get it.  She’s on Yeprock (&distributed by redeye) there in NC.   Worth the wait bro.  When did we pre order?  November maybe?

@tomic601

Thanks bro, you turned me on to Antje awhile back. Love it. 

BTW, this Bonny Light Horseman just keeps getting better with every listen. I don’t really know much about popularity but this seems destined for the best of lists and maybe for classic status.
It’s sparse and simple but with weight.  Something to do with songs that have survived Ages maybe.   Confident musicians.  
Funny how when this was first dropping on the services I just assumed it was a new group that just had really good influences.  Now it still seems fresh but also wise.    

I mentioned it as soon as I saw it’s eventual release....been a while...….usually get a note from YepRoc before something ships.

The Lone Bellow
Half Moon Light

Somebody's Watching .... Rare Bird.

Allman Brothers - Fillmore East
Jackson Browne - Running on Empty

Hey nicks25, nice to see you here.

Thanks Uber.   Hope you’re enjoying your Spatial Audio speakers!

Nicks25.

I am over the moon tbh.
I thought the Maggie’s were good, and they were, but these spatial m3 are just another 2 or 3 levels up.
Imaging is spot on and the soundscape is immense.
So yes, a very happy camper indeed.

spirit... uber is to fast to tag :-)

Speedy Gonzalez has nothing on me!
😂😂😂😂

Andale, andale!

Joan Baez ‎- Baptism (Vanguard 1968)

Some strong anti-war content. Spoken and sung. Mesmerizing. Worth a listen at midnight.

@spiritofradio Tagging seems to be a bit hit or miss, but when I tried tagging you I hit the @ sign and started typing your nickname and it came up.  Seems to work with mine and uber also.

Various ‎- A Tribute To Woody Guthrie (Warner 1972) 

Joan Baez ‎- Vol. 2 (Vanguard 1961 mono)

The Sugarcubes ‎- Life's Too Good (One Little Indian 1988)
