Holly Golightly And The Brokeoffs – Nobody Will Be There (Damaged Goods 2011)

Nikki Sudden & The Jacobites "Texas"

I discovered Nikki just a few years ago

and bought a few lps. Always enjoyed each one.

He died too young and was really ahead of his time.

 

Portishead - S/T (Go! Beat London 2008 [1997])

Forgot how good this is. Perfect recording. On the second 401 with an AT VM750SH which I recommend a lot, and it is very very good tonight. Deep bass on the REL S3.

@j_husker Congrats on your Macintosh and getting to this point. We are fortunate in the scheme of things. 

Gheorghe Zamfir ‎– A Theme From Picnic At Hanging Rock (Epic 1976)

Side 2

+1 Tim.

That’s the first JL album I bought. Think it’s still

my favorite....take that back.....Under the Blacklight

is very strong.

So far, Letter To You sounds very powerful,well written and constructed set of songs! Nice SQ!

 

The Black Heart Procession ‎– Amore Del Tropico  (Touch and Go 2002)

@slaw @boxer12 +1 the Jenny Lewis & Rilo Kiley LPs! The early Rilos are all good too. Jenny & the Watson Twins - Rabbit Fur Coat is the one that makes my desert island list. HARMONY, oh my. 

Yeah.... RFC is great, I guess I was referring to her solo stuff. There is a purity in her voice, reminds me of

Neko Case

Steve, Sbank,

I agree... What a talent & what a voice! I'll have to pull out RFC & listen to it again soon.

David Bromberg – Demon In Disguise (Columbia 1972)

If Loudon Wainwright lll, Neil Young, and Robert Zimmerman had a child.

Been side-tracked, but finally.....music. 3 new arrivals today. First up...

Mehta conducts Wagner - Orchestral Music From "Der Ring Des Nibelungen". New York Philharmonic. CBS Masterworks 1983

+1 noromance Demon In Disguise is a great "somewhat" overlooked recording!

Steve,

Which "Watson Twins" album do you recommend? The only one I've heard is with Jenny (RFC)

 

Explosions In The Sky / All of the sudden, I miss everyone

Roxy Music / Avalon

Unopened (until now) Columbia House pressing.

Had the cassette when first released, and later the CD.  This actually sounds pretty damn good.

@boxer12 just curious, boxer 1200 oil head?

I've got an r1100s, and a Guzzi sport 1100i.  My other "2 channel" obsessions.

I've got an r1100s, and a Guzzi sport 1100i.  My other "2 channel" obsessions.

Very nice, both. My last bike was a 1970 75/5. Loved that bike. Stripped to the basics, and fun to scrape the heads once in a while

Sourpuss,

That is correct! Love BMW’s & Moto Guzzi’s. Owned them both & have the speeding tickets to prove it... Currently have a Victory Cross Country, which suits my "self discipline" better.

Estra / You are always free

(Really wish this was recorded better)

"The Baroque Sound of the Trumpet"- John Wilbraham & Leslie Pearson

Just organ and trumpet playing together and recorded well with a lot of dynamic range

@bkeske it just fits right in with our appreciation for analog over digital. And for things that can be serviced and maintained, rather than discarded and replaced.

As with my ancient audio system, I'm completely satisfied . Until I try something better, lol. 
 

 I need to find some good classical vinyl.  Been listening to Mahler's #8, S.F. Symphony Michael Tilson Thomas, The Mahler Project on sacd.
 

What little classical music I've collected is all on disc. 
 

all ears (just like rest of us)

@dayglow Yes, the Bromberg is great music. For the longest time I found his recordings a bit bass heavy and even boomy. However adding springs under my turntable a year or so ago solved the issue and the albums sound fine.

Streaming on headphones based on yous guys’ selections:

Miles Davis In Person Friday & Saturday Night At The Black Hawk.

...

Explosions In The Sky - All of the sudden, I miss everyone.

I keep waiting for the lyrics and realize the music speaks for itself. Interesting.

@slaw I've got digital version of Watson Twins' Fire Songs; it's just okay and very melancholy 

Friday Finds are my Saturday spins:
