I can see a Greg, James and Eric get together at Poverty Bay sooner rather than later !,,
Break out some Sea Smoke, John J.....tune up the ole banjo.... |
@bdp24
I like your attitude.
And yes indeed, this is a great thread! |
@tomic601 Sounds good Jim, as long as it's not Dueling Banjos. |
You guys got me interested in a PJ Harvey album. I must say, I am not at all familiar with her but your enthusiasm got my attention. What can you say/add about her music style, genre, etc.? And which of her albums would be the best choice? I see that her album "Stories From The City, Stories From The Sea" is highly acclaimed. Would that be my best choice?
Thank you for the help. |
Joel - I have her disc To Bring You My Love cranked up, hope the neighbors like it...loud..
from the server |
Lung fully healed, so celebratory rock on...festival in progress... |
Jim, sounds like it's near time to pull on a halibut.👍
And if you are heading up north, the Spring chinook are about to run. |
Joel, I suggest starting with To Bring You My Love from PJ. I don't think it's fair to compare her to anyone, the best I can think of is a mash-up of Tom Waits and Garbage. |
and stir in Liz Phair...as her sensual worst, et I mean....best |
Thanks Joel, a few miles to go until any Halibut is afraid of me... |

Big PJ Harvey fan here, and glad to see her getting some love in this excellent thread. For those up for a deeper dive, there are now demo albums for each of her major releases, all of them highly recommended. I got these a month ago and really enjoy these "roughed up" alternative takes on the originals. |
OK, thanks for the good info. I just made the purchase for a new copy of "To Bring You My Love", PJ Harvey. Also got a new copy of Neil Young "Harvest". The reissue series of Neil's first solo albums (all 4) are fabulous. Can't wait for this one, as well. |
Neil Young - Zuma ( from the above mentioned NY Archives releases ) This is in places maybe a whisker hot so I dropped some 220 loading plugs in.....yowsa..instant weight on the 6 string... |
Jim, I'm also a fan of Liz Phair. I thought about throwing her into that toxic mix also. |
Mo records arrived today:
Ten Years After "Undead" Sundazed/mono
Manfred Mann "Pretty Flamingo" Sundazed/stereo

Lordy. It doesn't get much better than this musically.

@noromance
Wow, that is very cool, thanks!! |
Pursue a pressing of the instrumental “Fantasy” portion of “Shropshire Lad” it is a lovely thing. I have at least three versions of this. A true favorite. It’s included sometimes to round out the balance of a record’s capacity but winds up being a highlight - IMHO. |
Joni Mitchell - Don Juan’s Reckless Daughter. Asylum 2LP gatefold 1977
....first time listening to this with the Tumpet....damn.....damn.............damn |
Great to hear it Jim. You’ve been a good patient. I think something like the Bradley Delp exhibition of lung strength on the first Boston album might be in order. |
@slaw +1 on the Ten Years After.
|
@tomic601 I have my grandfather’s banjo... |
Yeah, I'd like to have that Ten Years After album.
Brian, so much depth in the Don Juan album. And now that you have a great phono stage you realize what you had been missing. Do enjoy!
Moody Blues 'In Search Of The Lost Chord' My favorite from the Moody Blues.
Electric Light Orchestra 'A New World Record' I haven't listened to this in so long. It's way better than I remember, and that's a good thing😊 |
Thomas Jefferson – Dreaming Down The River To New Orleans (Southland 1962)

Thanks for the folk suggestion noromance! That is where I generally live when not listening to other weird sh*t :-)

Yeah, something truly honest about folk music. I love the way it differs across continents but remains intrinsically the same. |

Looks like you guys were busy last night! I watched a lame Netflix movie. I'll never get those two hours back.
