Good to hear your recovering well Jim. Bummer about your aunt, I'll pray for her.

Sump pump went out so I'm cleaning up some excessive water. Not a terrible situation (floor is slate & the water didn't migrate far), but a PITA nonetheless. We've had a lot of precipitation here the last couple weeks & currently are in the midst of a winter storm, so that doesn't help. About a dozen albums currently drying out that will not be collector items 🙄 but it could have been worse. Anyway, no issue with the electronics so listening while I work.

Him / Interpretive Belief System (CD) 

Pink Floyd-The Final Cut 1983 Col

Funny about this record. I was in high school when it came out. My gf at the time used to listen to it nearly every night as we talked on the phone. Used to give her a hard time about it, I’ve never acknowledged it as a Floyd album. A year later Roger’s solo record “The Pros and Cons of Hitchhiking” came out. Told ya Janelle, Final Cut is a Waters solo album. 

Either way, with the lights off and only the glow of a single candle and a pair of blue meters in the room, it sounds awfully good to my ears. I hope you are doing well these days Janelle, wherever you are.

The Nils Lofgren album - "Acoustic Live" is da bomb! Fantastic songs and heavenly sound quality. A true audiophile and music lovers album.

For anyone unfamiliar, at least stream it and check it out.

@j_husker   I love that story.  

Update; from the Dayglo reviews, yesterday I ordered the Yellowjackets album.  Only $8.24 including shipping.  It won't be just 1 day to receive it, but the price is more than fair.  I look forward to it.

Also from Dayglow review, I ordered Paul Simon, One Trick Pony.  That was about 12 days ago and it just arrived yesterday.  Can't complain, it was a good deal and the vinyl quality is NM.

After a stint with Covid, back to it with Porcupine Tree: Up The Downstair 

@j_husker  +1 The Final Cut. Women who love this album are solid gold. Your post brings them back.

@boxer12 Bummer on the water. Didn't know you were a fellow basement dweller. You got to get those albums off the floor!

Michael Hedges – Breakfast In The Field (Windham Hill 1981)

Brian,

Yep, I spend a great deal of time 8' underground in my 15'X15' sound room. I missed this when I lived down south. 👍

 

I received a bunch of "Fabric" CD's for Christmas, of which I'll be checking out for a few days.

Michael Hedges-Aerial Boundaires Side 2 SQ Audiophile

The Alan Parsons Project-I Robot Side 1 SQ Audiophile

The Black Sorrows-Hold On To Me Side 2(record 1)

George Benson-Breezin Side 1 SQ*

Elton John-Don’t Shoot Me I’m Only The Piano Player Side 1

No Nukes-(VA) Side 6

Sting-The Dream Of The Blue Turtles Side 2

David Crosby-If I Could Only Remember My Name Side 2 SQ Audiophile

Since many have been playing David Crosby... so why not join in. I knew of the album but was not searching for it. This summer it appeared at a garage sale with a M- cover and VG++ vinyl(scuffs on side 1) it appears to be an OP? The SQ was forward and somewhat aggressive but very enjoyable. "Breezin" was borderline when regarding Audiophile SQ not sure if OP. SQ champ was to close to call I would rate both I Robot/Aerial Boundries a 4.6.

@femoore12 monophonics are so good. their album from last year has been in rotation in my house since it came out. imho colemine is a great contemporary label in general, haven't heard a single weak release from them

KD Lang - "Ingenue"

I keep listening to KD Lang and Neko Case this week. I swapped tubes in my preamp/amps and their voices are so much better.
