Loving that album. Really getting into Eno these days.

Passed on his "ambient 4 - on land" album this weekend at a used record shop simply cuz I didn’t know it. Went home, streamed. WOW, gotta call that shop up and try put it on hold for me.

Also really enjoying Robert Fripp stuff also.

The new Rega Ania MC cartridge is nice. My fist MC. Softer sounding (not as loud at same volume setting as my MM) but more focused I'd say. Not a huge difference to my ADC QLM 32 mk2 MM cartridge though (maybe that my 57 year old ears are accoustome to this sound as it's all I have really used for 40 years). Am I right to assume it needs X amount of hours to break in? So far, I'm happy. A new sound and experience is always welcome.

A little light lunchtime listening.... ;~)

Titus Andronicus - "The Monitor"

The enemy is everywhere
The enemy is everywhere
The enemy is everywhere
The enemy is everywhere
But nobody seems to be worried or care
That the enemy is everywhere

 

What a romp...

Love it! "Never My Love" is (IMHO) one of the greatest songs EVER!

Plus, on the greatest hits record you get "Windy", "Cherish" and "Along Came Mary".

Unfortunately, you don't get my second favorite song from The Association - "Wantin' Ain't Gettin'". Check it out if you don't know it...

Welcome @tunehead and nice choice on the Eno.  That album just showed up in the mail this week, haven't had a chance to play it yet.

Depending on your vintage, this may take you back. “Never My Love”—whoa!

@tunehead  - Welcome to the best thread on AudiogoN! Congrats on the new cartridge. How's it sounding of you?

I see your Pete Townshend and raise you....

Brian Eno - Another Green World

(on my Sony PS-X50 with brand new to night Rega Ania MC cartridge... Woot Woot)

Hey Guys, it's my 6000th post! Only took 21 years to achieve, and just over a year since I reached the 5000 post milestone.

So, what's a man to do for his 6000th post? Post the latest LP to be put on the TT to the best thread on AudiogoN, of course!

Without further ado, I present to you...

Pete Townshend - "White City"

Tony Bennett - Snowfall   Now that's a title I like!

Guys, please keep it spinning and enjoy the music.  I'm heading north for Mammoth Mountain in the morning to ski for the rest of this week.  4 to 6 feet just fell over the past 2 days and the mountain is prime.  The long-range forecast calls for many more feet over the next 3 weeks.  I'll be back up right after New Years.  And many more trips to follow this winter.  Finally, we have a real winter for California.  Man, do we need the water.  And man, do I need the skiing.  COVID put that to rest for me last year.  I AM READY!

Enjoy the music...

@spiritofradio James - The Eraser doesn't sound much like Radiohead, other than the vocals of course.  It's mostly electronic, but it's a nice spin.  Maybe stream it first and make sure its for you.

@spiritofradio

James, yes I do have that album of Dave Mason & Cass Elliot.  The SQ is just OK, as you stated.  The music is quite good and I am glad that I have it.  

I can only imagine what Cass Elliot would have delivered had she not died so young.  What a sad situation and a crying shame for such a loss.

Thanks Greg.  Need to spend more time with that guy.  So many records, so little time.

James, the Eraser is a used copy I just picked up, but in pretty nice shape. It is sounding great!

hmm, I think you should just get a record machine and a cool phono stage with tubes in it (fancy wire totally optional).  Play cosmic music with us til the cows come home.

David,

Completely respect your decision & hope you feel free to stop by anytime!

@spiritofradio @tomic601 @reubent @boxer12  Thanks for your openness.

For me, it's important to respect this thread's rai·son d'ê·tre. There's a 'sacred' aspect to vinyl and vinyl based systems which I admire. I do not want to get in the way.

I'll actively follow for the wonderful insights and music suggestions, etc. and might pop in every now and then. I hope you understand.
