@reubent +1 Billy Bragg. I meant to play it tonight. Gave it a new outer sleeve an' all.

@sbank + 1 A terrific recording and performance! |
@big_greg - The Nick Lowe show was a barn-burner. One of several acts now on my "100 mile" list. If they are playing, within 100 miles, I'm going... I love these kind of "low budget" shows. No frills show. Just the artist. Small theater. Small ticket price! |
@boxer12 - I do need to listen to more of the Lambchop catalog. The only ones I've tried are the ones you've mentioned here over the years. Thanks for the reminder. |
@noromance - Good on you! Treat that Billy Bragg record with some respect! The copy I just purchased at Plaid Room Records is a cutout and has a gold promo stamp on it. The Hollies, Pete Townshend and Daniel Lanois records are also promo. Someone must have been shopping at a radio station ex-inventory sale... |
@big_greg @reubent @tomic601 @noromance What happens when Lowe, Mavis & Wilco are backstage: The Weight Rehearsal |
@sbank - Thanks Spencer! That is really cool. Not something you see very often. |

@sbank enjoyed ‘The Weight’ YouTube video. Thanks. |
Continuing this set this evening. Last night was a wash-out. I finally have given in to the fact that I have to get a new Mac computer for my work. Been using a 2009 Mac Pro for a very long time, and love that old box. Have Frankensteined it to keep it in business over the past few years……But, am finally being forced to upgrade, and have an iMac arriving tomorrow. I’ve been so entrenched with my set-up ‘as-is’, there is a lot of preparation work involved with this new addition. What a pain in the butt. Got through Symphonies 1-4 a couple nights ago, so getting through 5-7 should be easy to do. Sir Colin Davis conducts Sibelius - The 7 Symphonies (with Finlandia Op. 26/Der Schwan Von Tuonela Op. 22,2/Tapiola Op. 112). Boston Symphony Orchestra. Philips reissue 5LP box set. unknown release, originally 1977.

Im sure I’ll like it Jim. Just as in my audio set-up, I’ve preferred separates in my computer work rig, and never liked the restraint the iMac’s seemed to be as an ‘all in one’ solution. I’ll get over it, and accept an integrated computer 😁 |
Great music been spinning with all of you. Well, remember that issue I had with phono cartridge? It just keeps getting worse. To the point that playing records is not so good and with little enjoyment. The good news is that I am about to pull the trigger on a new turntable/tonearm/cartridge. However, there will be a wait as only the tonearm and cartridge are in stock and the turntable is at least 2 weeks out, possibly longer by the time I make the purchase. So, I'll play a few records and enjoy the best I can. Foolishly, I sold all of my old phono cartridges so I'm not able to make a swap. Enjoy the music. I'll be back. |
